    Annotation Taing and Khayaing were administrative units during the Nyaunggyan period (1600-1752). Myanmar was divided into 8
    Divisions and Khayaing was the smaller unit, but definition of the terms changed from time to time. Under King Thibaw
    (1878 - 1885) Upper Burma was divided into 10 Khayaings and a Khayaing Wun governed each. This Khayaing
    corresponded to Division in Lower Burma. Throughout the colonial period Burma was divided into 8 Divisions called
    Khayaing. The Divisional Commissioner was called Khayaing Wun Shin Taw Min Gyi, while the District was called
    Siyinsu which was governed by a Deputy Commissioner known as A-Ye-Baing. During the Japanese period Division
    become Taing and the Divisional Commissioner was called Taing Min Gyi. The District was called Khayaing and the A-
    Ye-Baing became Khayaing Wun. Since 1972 Myanmar has had 7 States and 7 Divisions.
