Description:
Historical Setting: "The Shan who belong to the Tai ethnic group of Mongoloid family migrated from China
into Myanmar before the Christian Era
(Scott and Hardiman,
1901a).
Although the date of their
migration was still controversial, they had already present in Myanmar before the
rise of Bagan
in central Ayeyarwaddy Basin.
In comparison, the area of settlements of Shans was larger than
that of Bamar who entered in the Ayeyarwaddy Basin after the collapse
of Pyu city-states
(Than
Tun, 2002).
Since they lived in Yunnan Province, Shans established clusters of communities
known as
Mong,
Muang,
Keng-state or town which was ruled by a hereditary chief known as
Saopha-lord of the sky. The Myanmar word
saw-bwa
derived from
sao-pha
(Zeng Peng: 1990).
The first kingdom of Shans might be the Mao which located in a strategic place on the Yunnan
border, from thence they entered Myanmar by crossing Chindwin and Ayeyarwaddy River.
The
Shans
from Mong Mao area also moved
south along the Ayeyarwaddy River. With the help of
other groups from Shan States they later founded kingdoms and dynasties in central Myanmar,
Upper Sagaing
District, Mohnyin, Mong Kwang, Mong Mit and
Bhamo. Tai immigrants on the
other hand, established p
etty states in
Hsenwi, Hsi
paw, Mong Nai,
Mong Pai, Yawng Hwe
(Nyaung Shwe), and Kyaing Tong. When
Bagan
was founded
by Aniruddha (1044-77) in the first
half of eleventh century A.D,
the
Shan principalities had already existed in Myanmar. It is
attributed that the hegemony of the kings of Bagan could not be
extended to
the principalities
of Shan States,
particularly
the trans-
Than Lwin area
(Than Tun, 2004)."......Paper delivered at the International Conference on Burma/Myanmar Studies: Burma/Myanmar in Transition: Connectivity, Changes and Challenges: University Academic Service Centre (UNISERV), Chiang Mai University, Thailand, 24-26 July 2015.

Pyin-‐Oo-‐Lwin
town.
As
there
is
physical
degradation
because
of
the
impact

urban
development,
the
conservation
of
these
areas
will
include
their
development
and
harmonious
adaption
to
contemporary
life‟
(UNESCO
1987).
During
19th
Century,
British
made
well
plan
with
impeccable
signs
of
urban
planning
and
local
architecture
and
built
the
many

Because
of

it
be
comes
prominent
as
a

In
urban

increased
attention
must
be
paid
by

It
suffers
from

The
historic

deserve
a
careful
survey
and
assessment,
in
order
to
be

Description:
"Kyaing
Tong
is
the
largest
and
oldest
state
of
Trans
-‐
Than
Lwin
Region.
It
is
known
in
history
with
such
variety
of
names
as
Gon
(Khun)
(Than
Tun,
2004),
Kom,
Kyaing
Tong
(Hman-‐nan,
2008),
Khema
Vara
and
Khema
Rahta
Jayajotitonkarapur
(Scott
and
Hardiman,
1901).
The
first
people
who
migrated
into
Kyaing
Tong
were
Wa
or
La-‐wa.
They
also
settled
in
the
other
areas
of
eastern
Shan
States
and
Lan
Na
in
northern
Thailand
(Conway,
2006).
There
were
followed
by
Gon
(Khun)
and
Lu
people.
The
date
of
the
migration
of
these
people
is
attributed
to
the
early
first
millennium
AD
even
though
local
chronicles
mentions
the
date
of
early
settlements
to
twelfth
century
AD
(Mangrai, 1981).

"...Shan is a Burmese rendering of Siam. The Thai call our Shans as Thai-yai or Elder Thai – and Tai or Thai is only a dialectical rendering.
The Tai Speaking Peoples stretch from North East India, through Burma, the Kachin and Shan States, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam and south and southwest China.
Chinese Prime Minister Chou-en-lai of PRC [Communist Mainland China] said in 1957 to Soa Shwe Thaike, who was the first President of the Independent Burma, that in China there were then 100million Tai/Dai Speaking Peoples in China..."

"...The date 7th February 1947 is a defining moment in the record of the Shan history as a modern nation.
On that day, Shan princes and the people?s representatives of the Shan States demonstrated their newfound unity to declare it a ?national day? which were followed by the resolutions of ?Shan National Anthem?, ?Shan National Flag? and the formation of ?Shan State Council? on the 11th and 15th of February, 1947 respectively.
The people of Shan States and leaders decided in this very year later at Panglong, on the 12th of February, to join with U Aung San and the AFPFL (Anti-Fascist People?s Freedom League) and leaders of other nationalities, to live together under one flag as co-independent and equal nations. This marks the birth of a nation-state now known as ?Union of Burma?..."

"...Shans around the world (Tai peoples)
The Tai or Tai-Kadai ethnicity
The Tai or Tai-Kadai ethnicity refers collectively to the ethnic groups of southern China and Southeast Asia, stretching from_
*
Hainan to eastern India
*
and from southern Sichuan to Laos,
*
Thailand, and parts of Vietnam,
which speak languages in the Tai-Kadai family and share similar traditions and festivals, including Songkran or Thingyan water festival.
*
Despite never having a unified nation-state of their own,
*
the peoples also have historically shared a vague idea of a Shan or Tai or ?Siam” nation, corrupted to Shan in Burma or Assam in India, and most of them self-identified themselves as ?Tai”.

Description:
"... Like many other ethnic peoples of Burma, the Shans or Tai once had their homeland in China.
Some historians believe that the Tai people originally were from the north of the Yellow River (Huang Ho), occupying the region known as Hebei and Shanxi round about 2515 B.C.
The Chinese annals also mention Tai settlements in the middle basin of the Yellow River in 850 B.C.
They made their homeland there for a long time, establishing small feudal kingdoms and spreading their ?Na? culture to neighboring regions..."

"The story of Burma?s largest ethnic minority group is finally told—in voluminous detail...
History of the Shan State: From its Origins to 1962, by Sai Aung Tun, Silkworm Press, 2009. P 684
IF ever there was a tiger in the room that hardly anyone was talking about, it would have to be the Shan. Burma?s second largest ethnic group—after the majority Burmans—has not had the same domestic or international attention given to their complex history as many smaller ethnic groups. Apart from a handful of Shan, Burmese and Western scholars, Shan State has rarely been studied since the great J.G. Scott wrote his encyclopedic Gazetteer of Upper Burma and the Shan States some 100 years ago..."

Description:
Secession from the Union of Burma..."...The fourth of January 1958 was significant in Burma for two reasons: it marked the tenth anniversary of the nation?s independence and it also denoted the end of the constitutional limitation on the right of a state to secede from the Union1. While the anniversary of independence caused rejoicing throughout the country, the right of secession caused many of the leaders to worry and wonder whether or not this date would become significant as the beginning of the breakup of the Union. Since the right of secession is a unique right, not found in any other modern federal constitution save that of the U.S.S.R.,2 it is useful to examine the background and the contemporary situation in order to see what opportunities there are for a state to secede from the Union of Burma, and what limitations exist to keep it from exercising its right..."

Description:
The Sao Hpa (or) Sawbwa of the State of LAWKSAWK was without doubt the first Shan leader of SHAN STATE to clash with the advancing British Column. It was January 1887. The annexation of Upper Burma was accomplished in 1885. The Sao Hpas of Southern Shan States formed a confederacy and installed the Limbin Prince as Sovereign. First, in the Shan States, and their aim was Burma itself. With unity and solidarity they firmly believed they could drive the British back to the sea. The final aim was to establish a country with Limbin Prince as King of Burma. During that period the whole of Shan States, South as well as North was in turmoil and discontent existed.

Description:
The political economy of Shan tea under British colonial rule.
"...Tawngpeng State, the major tea-producing area in the Federated Shan States, contained an area of 938 square miles. As of
1939 the population of Tawngpeng was 59,398 and it had a revenue of Rs. 645,634. The State was divided into 16 circles
which corresponded as closely as possible to clan-divisions. Geographic features were characterised by hills ranging from five
to seven thousand feet in height interspersed with valleys that averaged approximately ten miles in length and from a few
hundred yards to a few miles in width. Maurice Collis, a former Burma civil servant, noted that upon approaching Namhsan, the
capital of Tawngpeng which lies at the centre of the State at a height of six thousand feet, ?there is a vale and in the midst, ten
miles away, is a ridge, on one end of which stands the town of Nam Hsan with the palace over it on a circular hill....The vale is one vast tea garden?. On the lower levels of the hillsides, Palaungs and Shans grow tea whilst higher up Kachins and Lisus
practice shifting agriculture. Shans predominate in the valleys where rice is the staple crop..."
