On June 4, 2024, Dr. Hojai Jung, a visiting scholar at SNUAC, delivered a presentation titled “Examining the Burmese Term ‘Tayoke’ and Its Connection to ‘China’ from a Eurasian Perspective” during the institute’s brown bag seminar at Asia Square. He explained that the objective of this study was to focus on the term “Tayoke” (or “Tayok”) used in Myanmar to refer to China and to propose a rational interpretation of its origin. He hypothesized that this naming might have originated from the “Da Yo State” created by the Khitan people of China.
