震旦

/ʈ͡ʂən⁵¹⁻⁵³ tän⁵¹/

/ʈ͡ʂən⁵¹⁻⁵³ tän⁵¹/

First attested in the 3ʳᵈ–4ᵗʰ centuries CE.
Borrowed from Sanskrit चीनस्थान (cīnasthāna), or a name etymologically related; compare Sogdian [script needed] (cynstʾn /*čīnastan/), Persian چینستان, Armenian Չինաստան (Čʻinastan), Ancient Greek Τζίνιστα (Tzínista).
Folk etymology interprets the this word orthographically, as a compound of 震 (zhèn, “one of the Eight Trigrams; the East”) + 旦 (dàn, “dawn; the direction of sunrise”), in reference to China's eastward position relative to India. For example, the Buddhist reference work Collection of Meanings and Terms in Translation (翻譯名義集) [12th century CE] has the following passage on the origin of this term:
:
More discussion on the etymology of Zhèndàn can be found in Notes on Marco Polo (Vol. 1).

The direction of east belongs to the trigram of Zhèn, and is the direction of sunrise, thus (China) is called Zhèndàn.

Attested earliest in Records of the Grand Historian (translation adapted from Tsai-fa Cheng et al., 1994):
*

He (Zou Yan) thought that the Central Region which scholars spoke of occupied just one of the eighty-one parts of the world. The Central Region he called "the Sacred Township of the Red County." The "Sacred Township of the Red County" itself contained nine lands, the nine which Yu ordered, but these could not be counted as "lands." Outside the Central Region there were nine places like the "Sacred Township of the Red County" and these were what he called the "nine lands."

The Records of the Grand Historian, by Sima Qian, c. 91 BCE

以為儒者所謂中國者，於天下乃八十一分居其一分耳。中國名曰赤縣神州。赤縣神州內自有九州，禹之序九州是也，不得為州數。中國外如赤縣神州者九，乃所謂九州也。
