Volume 70 Tables 8: Vassal States

◎屬國表周有天下，不期而會者八百餘國。遼居松漠，最為強盛。天命有歸，建國改元。號令法度，皆遵漢制。命將出師，臣服諸國。人民皆入版籍，貢賦悉輸內帑。東西朔南，何啻萬里。視古起百里國而致太平之業者，亦幾矣。故有遼之盛不可不著。作《屬國表》。屬國表

Vassal States Table. When the Zhou held sway over the realm, more than eight hundred states gathered of their own accord, unbidden. The Liao, established in the Songmo steppe, stood supreme in strength. When Heaven's Mandate found its fulfillment, they founded their state and inaugurated a new reign era. Their edicts and legal institutions all followed the Han model. They dispatched generals on campaign until the various states submitted in allegiance. All peoples were entered on the registers, and tribute and taxes were paid wholly into the imperial treasury. From east to west and north to south, their sway stretched no less than ten thousand li. Compared with ancient rulers who began with a state of a hundred li and brought about an age of Great Peace, they came very near indeed. For this reason the splendor of Liao must be set down in writing. Hence the compilation of the Table of Vassal States. Table of Vassal States
