When Mong elders spoke of migrating into "Mab" and "Shuav" regional areas, Mong migrated into Chu Man (Nanman) and Shu (Han) regions. And when they stated that Mong left "Shuav teb" to Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand, they left Shu regional area (蜀地区) into Southeast Asia. However, 180 years after they exited Qing country and as time had passed, many began to reference the current country China as "Shuav Teb" (蜀地区）. This is partially correct but incorrect for making China into Shu Country (Shuav teb). Mong left "Shuav teb" into Southeast Asia was from Shu regional area; and Shu region is now part of China. "Shuav Teb Chaws" (蜀地区) is the southwest that includes Sichuan, Guizhou, and Yunnan.

Calling China into "Shuav Teb" is mistaken. China is used in short as "TsoobKuj" (中国) for the official name Zhong Hua Ren Min Gong He Guo (China, 中华人民共和国). Zhong Guo (TsoobKuj) was a general term referring to a central state of a country or a central kingdom of a powerful country. "Zhong Guo" is no longer used in the same way during ancient time. "Mab Teb Chaws" was Nanman (Naj Mab) of Chu Man region which is present-day Hubei-Hunan-Anhui-Jiangxi. "Cobtsib" was the southeastern region which is of present-day Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi. It is part of the Bai Yue that runs into Chu Man region. Yue was known to be Manyi as well (meaning MaabYiv). When Mong elders stated that their ancestors migrated into Mab & Shuav teb chaws, they spoke of these three southern regions.

Since the Southern Man, Yi, Baiyue, Bai Pu also migrated into the Southwest, people of Guizhou-Guangxi-Yunnan were also known as Nanman, Manyi, Yi, Baiyue, Western Yi (Xi Yue). They were the aboriginals of NanMan BaiYue people, and were associated with the name Miao since ancient time.

Mong regions and people were known to be at the Yellow River Basin and to the north. They did not migrated into the south of "Mab tebchaws" and "Shuav tebchaws" during the fall of Jiuli kingdom. Those regional names did not exist until later periods after the San Miao kingdom became Jing Man, Bai Pu, and others; then became Shu, Chu Man, Nanman, and Baiyue.

Mong elders taugh that Mong left Tuam Tshoj into Xov Tshoj (Da Chao to Song Chao). Many also confused the Mong country "Tuam Tshoj" as present-day China and "Xov Tshoj" as Vietnam (Cob Tsib [Jiao Zhi]). "Cob Tsib" used to be the Yue region of present-day Southeastern China. Both "Cob Tsib" and "Maab Teb Chaws" became [Southern] Song Chao (XovTshoj). Later, a part of the Yue people broke away and became independent, now Vietnam. So, many then referenced Vietnam as "Cob Tsib". When Mong elders spoke of Xov Tshoj (Song Chao), they originally referred to South-Eastern region of China which was the [Bai] Yue region ("Cob Tsib") and Chu region (Maab Tebchaws).

So far, the country that was known as TuamTshoj (大朝) was during the time Tiemuzhen came into power. XovTshoj (南/北 宋朝) also existed during that period. Others argued that TuamTshoj as a country name began earlier since the time of A'Baoji (Cathay/Khitay, the Mong Qidan), but there has not been any surfaced literature or artifact to support it yet.
