The name '''Jingdao''' (淨道, ''Jìngdào'', "pure path"; in Sangunese pronunciation: ''Jōdō'' or ''Seidō''), or '''the Pure Path''', is most used when referring to the [[Apollonia]]n-based nation under the '''[[Great Jing Dynasty]]''' and its main culture and language (see also [[Jing]]). The empire currently occupied a large part of [[Apollonia]] and was seen as a stable autocratic nation until the demise of its last ruler, the [[Chidao Emperor]]. He was succeeded by His daughter, the [[Xinshi Heavenly Light]], whom withdrew to the Palace and only limited Herself to religious matters. Jingdao's name lived on as part of the [[Duchy of Jingdao]].

It can, according to the [[Greater Jing School]] refer to several of its dynasties:
#The [[Empire of the Glorious Sun]] (1462bAN - 351bAN)
#Empire of the Pure Path (Jingdao) (351bAN - present)
##The [[Zuxiang Dynasty]] (351 bAN - 264)
##The [[Wangzi Dynasty]] (265 - 987)
##[[Youya Dynasty]] (987 - 1451)
##[[Jierdai Dynasty]] (1451 - 1623)
##the [[Great Jing Dynasty]] (1623 - 1700)
##the [[Jingdaoese Community]] (1700 - 1704), within the [[Great Apollonian Empire]].
##The [[Democratic Apollonian Republic of Kildare]] (1704 - 1707)
##[[Greater Kildare]], as part of the [[Imperial Republic of Shireroth]] (1707 AN - present)
