The Kingdom of Middag (Chinese: 米達赫王國; pinyin: Mǐdáhè Wángguó; Wade–Giles: Mi³-Ta²-Hê⁴ Wang²-kuo²), also known as the Kingdom of Dadu (Chinese: 大肚王國; pinyin: Dàdù Wángguó; Wade–Giles: Ta⁴-tu⁴ Wang²-kuo²), was a supra-tribal alliance located in the central-western plains of Taiwan in the 17th century. This polity was established by the Taiwanese indigenous peoples of Papora, Babuza, Pazeh, and Hoanya.^{[citation needed]} It ruled as many as 27 villages, occupying the western part of present-day Taichung county and the northern part of modern Changhua county.^[1] Having survived the rule of European colonists and the Kingdom of Tungning, the aboriginal peoples who previously comprised Middag were eventually subjugated to the rule of the Qing Empire in the 18th century.
