Draft:Eastern Queendom


Eastern Queendom (東女國), also known as the Dongnuguo, Subi (蘇毗) Kingdom, or Tangyan (唐旄) Kingdom, is the name of an ancient kingdom reportedly ruled by women. The Eastern Queendom was a matrilineal society located on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and existed from the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty in China.[1][2] Modern ethnicities of the Sino-Tibetan Marches that still yield traces of matrilineal customs, such as the Mosuo and Zhaba, are thought to be the cultural descendants of this Eastern Queendom.[2]

The Eastern Queendom was about 800 kilometers long from north to south (a 22-day trip) and about 360 kilometers from east to west (a 9-day trip).[3][4] There were queens and deputy queens in the territory, who were served by "virtuous women" within the realm.[3] The queen lived in a nine-story watchtower, and the common people live in a four- or five-story watchtower.[3][2] Volume 197 of the "Old Book of Tang" "Biography of Southern Barbarians and Southwest Barbarians" records: "Eastern Queendom, a different species of Western Qiang, has a female kingdom in the West Sea, so it is called Dongnuyan. It is customary to regard women as kings. To the east is Maozhou, it is connected to Dangxiang, connected to Yazhou in the southeast, and separated from Luonuman and Bailangyi."[3]
