China is not a Mandarin name and is not the REAL name of the country or civilization.

The name 'China' is a Sanskrit/Persian applied name for the phonetic sounds they heard when told the name of the territory. The actual name and title of the 'Chinese' civilization and nation is Xian - with 'Qin' being another obfuscaating rendition spelling for the first 'dynasty'. Xian. [ link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] Welcome. That's interesting, but I thought it was Zhong Guo, Middle Kingdom. That's a historical period reference not the name.
