Burma image, WAA0157. [The village of Tang Yang.] (Researcher's notes in brackets)
"[Tang Yang] is by far the largest [district] in [the Northern Shan State of South Hsenwi]. The headman is styled a 'Myoza' and lives at Tang Yan village, which is really a group of three villages, namely: 1) Wying Tang Yan, the Myoza's village, 2) Tang Yan, the monastery village, and 3) Tang Yan the bazaar village. A very small amount of cotton and sugar is grown, rice being the chief product of the circle. Pack cattle and traders are fairly numerous in Tang Yan and they carry on operations in almost equal numbers with Mandalay and Tawng Peng and beyond the Salween. The exports are chiefly English goods from Mandalay and rice from Tang Yan itself. Opium is the chief commodity brought back from the Wa states, with which the bulk of the trade is done. Na Hpan is the centre to which the caravans make their way. Gongs are taken across in great numbers. These seem to have an irresistible attraction for the Wa. A certain amount of pottery, water and cooking pots and goblets is manufactured in several villages. Tang Yan is a circle that should very rapidly increase both in population and in wealth." ['Gazetteer of Upper Burma and the Shan States', Sir J. G. Scott, Rangoon, 1901, part II, vol. III, pp.215-216]
