[미얀마] Burmese Historical Literature (6): Sittan

Myo Oo 2012-05-14 00:00

Sittans, or revenue inquests, have the same value as the Domesday Book of Norman England. The first Burmese king to compile a revenue inquest was king Thalun (1629-48). King Bodawpaya later followed in 1784 and 1803. King Bodawpaya was more thorough in his enquires than King Thalun, and under him, the sittans were more elaborately done on a nation-wide scale. They contain descriptions of villages, arable land, products, taxes and demography. Bodawpaya checked the reports about religious property in the sittans with records found on about six hundred stone inscriptions, which he had collected at the capital. These inscriptions record donations made to the monasteries, and he was thus able to decide which areas should be exempted from taxation. He would not encroach upon religious property despite his deed—so rigid was the convention governing relation between the Church and the State during the days of the Burmese monarch.
