== Contents == The word (Korean ; Old Mandarin Khita) of the title, like the term Cathay, is a transcription of the Mongolian form of Khitan, a people who ruled northern China as the Liao dynasty (907–1125). It became a common name throughout Asia for China and all things Chinese. Here it means 'Chinese'. The word (, Korean , literally 'old') had been used as a prefix indicating familiarity (as in modern Standard Chinese) since at least the Tang period.
