[[File:1916-Spanish Mauser-.jpg|450px|thumb|right|Fusil corto Modelo 1916 - 7x57mm Mauser. Note bent bolt handle and tangent leaf sight.]]
The M1916 Spanish Mauser was a short rifle developed from the M1893 Spanish Mauser rifle. It shares the same action, but features a shorter 21 3/4" barrel and bent bolt handle. The rear sight was a ''Lange Visier''-type on the Pattern 1 rifles, and a simple tangent-leaf on the Pattern 2 rifles. Interestingly, the M1916 short rifle and M1893 long rifle were produced concurrently at Oviedo.  It was originally chambered in 7x57mm Mauser, however, after development of the CETME rifle, numerous M1916s were re-chambered for 7.62x51mm CETME for use by the Guardia Civil.

[[Image:Czech98-22Mauser.jpg|450px|thumb|right|Puška CZ Brno 98/22 - 7.92x57mm Mauser]]
The Czech vz. 98/22 rifle was the first Mauser design produced by the then-new Czechoslovak State Armaments Works in Brno. After World War I, the Treaty of Versailles had prohibited Imperial Germany from producing military arms, so the newly established nation of Czechoslovakia purchased an entire [[Gewehr 98]] production line from Mauser Werke, complete with tooling and all available spare parts. 40,000 of these rifles were made and issued to the Czechoslovak Army in 1923. In 1927 the Republic of Turkey ordered 10,000 new vz. 98/22s. When the vz. 24 short rifle replaced the 98/22s in Czech service, those vz. 98/22s were sold to Turkey and China. Chambered in 7.92x57mm JS Mauser.

Based on the M98 action, the vz. 24 rifle was designed to replace the vz. 98/22 in Czechoslovakian service. It featured a 600mm (23.5") barrel, tangent-leaf rear sight, and full-length handguard. It was produced at several factories in Czechoslovakia from 1924-1941, and exported to dozens of countries worldwide. After the German annexation of Czechoslovakia in 1938, the rifle was adopted alongside the Kar98k and production continued for the Wehrmacht under the designation Gewehr 24(t). It was chambered in 7x57mm, 7.65x53mm, and 7.92x57mm depending on the production contract. The shortened, lightened version is called carbine vz. 33.

The Spanish M43 rifle was based on the Kar98k and produced at the La Coruna arsenal from 1944-1957. Unlike the Kar98k, it featured a straight bolt handle and a handguard that extended from the receiver almost to the upper barrel band. Like the M1909 Argentine Contract, the M43 featured an auxiliary bayonet lug attached to the convention Gew. 98-style lug. This allowed the rifle to mount the older bayonets designed for the M1893 and M1916 rifles. Rifles manufactured for the Spanish Air Force did not have the auxiliary lug. It is chambered in 7.92x57mm Mauser.

The single-shot bolt-action Model 1871 was Mauser's first commercial success, being adopted by the Prussian Army in March of 1872, and by 1877 the armies of all the other component states of the German Empire had followed suit. It replaced a mix of other infantry arms, including the Dreyse and the Werndl rifles. It fired an 11mm bullet weighing 386 grains at a muzzle velocity of 1440 feet-per-second, from a rimmed brass case 60mm long. It came in three variations: the infantry rifle with an 855mm barrel, the Jäger model with 750mm barrel, and a carbine with a 500mm barrel. The infantry and Jäger models can be differentiated by the number of barrel bands (three on the infantry rifle, two on the Jäger) and by their sling arrangement; the infantry rifle has a sling between the trigger guard and second barrel band, the Jäger's sling extends from the lower barrel band to a swivel on the buttstock. The Jäger also features a brass finger rest on the underside of the wrist. During World War I, the brass trigger guards on these rifles were frequently replaced by steel parts in order to recycle the copper, which was in short supply during the war. The carbine features a turned-down bolt.

A variant was adopted by Serbia in 1880 and designated the Model 78/80, chambered for the slightly smaller 10.15x63mmR cartridge. Serbian Major Koka Milovanovich contributed to design modifications meant to make it more durable and reliable than the original M71 design, and as such, the model is often referred to as the Mauser-Koka or Mauser-Milovanovich. It can be distinguished from the Model 1871 by the elongated receiver tang at the rear of the action, which rises prominently out of the wrist. This added stability to the bolt when it was in the open position. A carbine version designated Model 1884 was also adopted.

Gewehr 1871/84

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mauser Gewehr 1871/84 - 11.15x60mmR

The M71/84 was a repeating bolt-action rifle developed from the earlier Gewehr M1871 single-shot rifle designed by Paul and Wilhelm Mauser, and was the last blackpowder Mauser. A tubular 8-round magazine, designed by Alfred von Kropatschek, was added below the barrel. Interestingly, it was loaded from the top of the receiver with the bolt open. The rifle would not last long in service, being replaced by the M1888 Commission rifle just 5 years later.

A variant of the M71/84, the M1887 chambered in 9.5x60mm was ordered by the Ottoman Empire, becoming the first in a long series of "Turkish" Mausers.

1889 Belgian Mauser

Belgian 1889 Mauser Carbine - 7.65x53mm Mauser

The 1889 Mauser rifle became the first bolt-action service rifle for the Belgian Army and was developed by Wilhelm and Paul Mauser. Initial prototypes were based on the Gewehr 1871/84 and the Turkish M1887, but the rifle as adopted shared very little with previous Mauser designs. The M89 was the first smokeless powder Mauser that outclassed the French Lebel 1886 and the German 1888 Commission Rifle. The most striking features of this rifle are the single-piece bolt body with dual opposing front locking lugs and the 5-round vertical box magazine; unlike previous Mauser rifles, the M89 cocked on closing, rather than on opening. Like the Gewehr 1888 Commission Rifle, it had a tubular steel barrel jacket on which the sights were mounted, which threaded onto the front of the receiver ring. This jacket was removed by the Turkish M90 and the Argentine M91, which used a different heavier barrel profile and a short wooden handguard. The M89 was initially manufactured by Fabrique Nationale d'Armes de Guerre a conglomeration of smaller gun-making firms in the city of Liege who collaborated to fulfill the Belgian contract, later the Belgian state arsenal MAE (Manufacture d'Armes de l'Etat) at Liege which had previously focused on making spare parts for and repair M89 rifles began to manufacture rifles in 1913 when war seemed imminent. During World War One the city of Liege was occupied by the Germans so the Belgian government contracted with the American firm of Hopkins & Allen to produce 140,000 M89 rifles and 10,000 carbines. Belgian Mausers were also refurbished by the British firm W. W. Greener and a Belgian arsenal-in-exile made up of equipment and personnel from MAE set up in Birmingham, England.

In 1936 a program began to rebuild worn-out M89 rifles to resemble the new Mauser 1898-based Belgian Model 1935 short rifle. The barrel jacket was removed and a new FN-made barrel fitted with the same style of sights as the M35: a Mauser-patent tangent-leaf rear sight and front blade with protective ears. The bolt was modified to a cock-on-open mechanism like the Mauser 98. During World War Two and later these M89/36 rifles were widely used by Belgian forces in Africa, notably the Force Publique of the Belgian Congo.

1891 Mauser Rifle

Argentine Mauser 1891 Carbine - 7.65x53mm Mauser

The M1891 Argentine Contract rifle was developed from the earlier Belgian M1889, which was the first Mauser designed with a single-piece bolt body and firing a smokeless powder cartridge. The M91 did away with the M89's barrel shroud, but in other respects was virtually identical. It featured a 29.1" barrel, ladder-type rear sight, short handguard, and straight-gripped single-piece stock. A cock-on-closing design, it is easily identified by its single-column magazine, which projects down from the stock directly in front of the trigger guard. Chambered in 7.65x53mm Mauser.

The Ottoman Empire purchased 280,000 of the identical M1890 rifles also chambered in 7.65x53mm Mauser.

The M1892 Mauser rifles submitted to the US Army trials was based on this design; each incorporated a large external claw extractor (a feature used on all subsequent Mausers) and some were equipped with magazine cutoffs. The most advanced of these, Rifle No.5, featured a one-piece magazine and trigger guard. Rifles in 7.65x53mm and .30-40 Krag were tested, but the Krag-Jørgensen design was chosen instead.

1895 Spanish Mauser Carbine - 7x57mm Mauser

The Mauser Model 1893 rifle was the result of a call for tenders from the Spanish Army, which sought to modernize or eliminate black powder weapons. The need for this effort had been made obvious by a series of severe defeats suffered by Spanish forces in battles for the Spanish enclave in North Africa.

Although the rifle shared many similarities with the System 98, the M1893 was a later and essentially independent development based on the M1892 prototype developed by Paul Mauser. In addition, the design was continuously improved, making it a reliable weapon. And even though its success did not match that of the 98, the rifle enjoyed wide and consistent distribution in Southern Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East and is still often found as a privately owned weapon today.

The M1893 was the first Mauser rifle to incorporate both the non-rotating claw extractor and the staggered-column box magazine developed by Paul Mauser. Unlike other Mauser designs, the bottom of the M1893's bolt face was square, which was believed to be necessary for feeding staggered cartridges. This feature is present on all M1893 Mausers, but was found to be unnecessary and was eliminated from subsequent designs. It fired the high-velocity 7x57mm cartridge developed by Paul Mauser in 1892. Initial production was by Ludwig Loewe & Co. in Berlin; in 1896 the Spanish arsenal at Oviedo took overproduction. Production of the M1893 lasted until the mid-1930s. During the Spanish Civil War, the rifle was widely used by both Republican and Nationalist forces.

This rifle's performance against United States troops during the Spanish-American war led directly to the development of the American M1903 Springfield.

The Ottoman Empire ordered 200,000 M1893 rifles chambered in 7.65x53 Belgian.

Turkish Mauser M1893/33 - 7.92x57mm Mauser. The magazine cutoff was removed and a pistol-grip was added to the stock.

The Ottoman Army adopted their own variant of the Spanish Modelo 1893, which looks almost identical but chambered in 7.65x53 Belgian and has magazine cutoff on the right side; making it the third main step of the Turkish Mausers. These rifles were manufactured by the Mauser factory in Oberndorf, Germany, which produced around 200,000 rifles.

Following the 1930s standardization program of the Republic of Turkey, the M1893 was converted to the 7.92x57mm (8mm) cartridge. This converted variant, known as M1893/33, has a striking notch on the top of the receiver to accept the longer 8mm round and may be seen with straight or pistol-gripped stocks and with-or-without the magazine cutoff box.

1894 Swedish Mauser Carbine

Mauser M94/14 Cavalry Carbine (dated 1916) (Carl Gustaf) - 6.5x55mm. The barrel was originally flush with the front of the stock, but a barrel extension was added to comply with US import restrictions.

The Model 1894 (or more commonly known M94) was a precursor to the M1896 Carl Gustaf Mauser which went into production in 1895, with left over receivers used in the M1896 full sized rifle production. It is noteworthy for its metal endcap and the fact that some later models (like the M94/14) were designed to take either the standard M1914 army bayonet or the M95 Naval bayonet (a large bladed knife).

Mauser 1895 Carbine - 7x57mm Mauser

Also known as the Chilean Contract Mauser, or Modelo Mauser Chileno 1895, this rifle was developed from the Spanish M1893 design. A unique feature was a small steel shoulder on the tang of the receiver behind the bolt handle that served as a safety lug; the squared bolt-face of the M1893 was also eliminated. While M1895s were originally chambered in 7x57mm Mauser, in the 1950s-60s Chile re-chambered some in 7.62x51mm NATO when they adopted the H&K G3 rifle.

70,000 M1895 rifles were ordered by the Orange Free State and the South African Republic (Transvaal Republic) and used by Boer Commandos during the Second Boer War against the British Empire. These rifles were built using the earlier M93-pattern receiver and as such lack the re-enforcing shoulder on the tang. Roughly 55,000 were delivered before the British began an embargo of Boer arms shipments. The remaining rifles were then sold to Chile.

Serbia also adopted the 7x57mm Model 1895 rifle as the Model 1899. Unlike the Model 1895, the Model 1899 had a partial thumb cut in the receiver wall to aid in the use of stripper clips. These were manufactured initially by Waffenfabrik Mauser in Oberndorf, and a later second contract –referred to as the Model 1899/07– by Waffenfabrik Steyr in Austria. A carbine version, the Model 1908, was also manufactured by Steyr.

The last cock-on-closing Mauser action, the major changes included moving the bolt-guide-rib to the bolt body, and the addition of a knurled thumb tab on the cocking piece. The United Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway had developed the 6.5x55mm cartridge in 1891 for use in all potential new service rifles before the Mauser design was selected. Production at Waffenfabrik Mauser in Oberndorf am Neckar was 1895-1900, and Swedish production at Gustafs stads Gevärsfaktori from 1898-1925. One of the production requirements was that all M96 rifles were made from the same Swedish nickel-copper-vanadium-steel alloy regardless of manufacturer.

Numerous M96 rifles were loaned to Finland for use in the Winter War/Continuation War against the Soviet Union.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Turkish standardized "Kirikkale" Mauser - 7.92x57mm Mauser

The Turkish M1903 rifle was developed from the Gewehr 98. Unlike the Gew. 98, it featured an intermediate-length action, with a bolt and magazine that were .2" shorter than that of the Gew. 98, due to the shorter 7.65x53mm Belgian cartridge. It also had a simple tangent-leaf rear sight, rather than the Lange Visier of the Gew. 98. The rifle retained the earlier M93-pattern bayonet lug on the upper barrel band, allowing it to use bayonets made for the M93 rifles previously purchased. 200,000 rifles were produced from 1903-1905 at Waffenfabrik Mauser in Oberndorf am Neckar, Germany. Chambered in 7.65x53mm Mauser.

Beginning in 1930 the Turkish Republic converted these rifles to fire 7.92x57mm JS Mauser, along with M1893s and M1888 Commission rifles. A notch was cut in the receiver ring so the longer cartridge could fit in the magazine. M1903 rifles converted to 7.9x57mm were referred to as M1903/30.

1907 Chinese Mauser

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
German-service Chinese M1907 Mauser - 7.92x57mm Mauser

The Chinese Model 1907 was a development of the Mauser Model 1904, a commercial military model in turn developed from the Gewehr 98. It features a 29.1" barrel, tangent-leaf rear sight, half-length handguard, and narrow upper barrel band. It was originally chambered in a proprietary 6.8x58mm Chinese cartridge, but some in 7x57mm were also purchased. The M1907 was manufactured at Waffenfabrik Mauser in Oberndorf am Neckar, Germany, and Kung Hsien (Gongxian) arsenal in Henan Province, China. When WW1 broke out the Germans seized all M1907 rifles still in the country and re-barrelled them for 7.9x57mm.

Mauser 98AZ Artillery Carbine

Mauser 98AZ Artillery Carbine - 7.92x57mm Mauser
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Karabinek wz. 1898, a Polish version of Mauser 98AZ - 7.92x57mm Mauser. Early production version had a turned-down bolt handle while late version had a straight bolt handle.

The second carbine based on the Gewehr 98, the Karabiner 98AZ (Aufpflanz-und-Zusammensetzvorrichtung, meaning "With bayonet and for stacking pyramid") was adopted in 1908. Although referred to as a carbine, with its 23.6" barrel it is really more of a short rifle. Unlike the Gew. 98, it was built on a small-ring receiver (like the pre-98 actions), which saved weight. It features a turned-down bolt, full-length handguard, a guarded front sight, side-mounted sling, and a distinctive stacking hook just below the upper barrel band. It was widely issued to German artillery troops and saw extensive service in World War I and in the postwar Reichswehr. It was also manufactured in post-war Poland as Karabinek (KbK) wz. 1898.

The rifle was replaced in the early 1920s by the misleadingly-named Karabiner 98b, which was actually a full-length rifle very similar to the Gew. 98, but with a turned-down bolt, tangent-leaf sight, and side-mount sling. In 1923 the name 98AZ was changed to 98a.

IMBEL Mosquefal M968 - 7.62x51mm. Converted version of Mauser Model 1908 Brazilian Contract with an FN FAL barrel and M1917 Enfield peep sights.

The Brazilian M1908 rifle was developed from the Gewehr 98. It features a simplified tangent-leaf rear sight and elongated handguard extending from the receiver to the lower barrel band. The bolt, receiver, and bayonet lug were left in the white. The M1908 was manufactured by Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken in Berlin and Waffenfabrik Mauser in Orberndorf am Neckar from 1908 until the outbreak of World War I. Chambered for 7x57mm Mauser.

In the late 1960s, numerous M1908 rifles were modified into the so-called Mosquefal M968, a version in 7.62x51mm caliber.

A development of the Gewehr 98, the M1909 Argentine contract featured a tangent-leaf rear sight rather than the Lange Visier, and a longer handguard that extended from the receiver to the lower barrel band. It also features an auxiliary bayonet lug fastened over the standard Gew. 98 lug. This allowed the use of the M1891 rifle's bayonet on the new rifle. Rifles, short rifles, and cavalry carbines were produced at Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken, Berlin, and carbines under license in Argentina at Fabrica Militar de Armas Portatiles (F.M.A.P.) division of the Direccion General de Fabricaciones Militares (D.G.F.M.). Chambered in 7.65x53mm Mauser.

The M1916 Spanish Mauser was a short rifle developed from the M1893 Spanish Mauser rifle. It shares the same action, but features a shorter 21 3/4" barrel and bent bolt handle. The rear sight was a Lange Visier-type on the Pattern 1 rifles, and a simple tangent-leaf on the Pattern 2 rifles. Interestingly, the M1916 short rifle and M1893 long rifle were produced concurrently at Oviedo. It was originally chambered in 7x57mm Mauser, however, after development of the CETME rifle, numerous M1916s were re-chambered for 7.62x51mm CETME for use by the Guardia Civil.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Puška CZ Brno 98/22 - 7.92x57mm Mauser

The Czech vz. 98/22 rifle was the first Mauser design produced by the then-new Czechoslovak State Armaments Works in Brno. After World War I, the Treaty of Versailles had prohibited Imperial Germany from producing military arms, so the newly established nation of Czechoslovakia purchased an entire Gewehr 98 production line from Mauser Werke, complete with tooling and all available spare parts. 40,000 of these rifles were made and issued to the Czechoslovak Army in 1923. In 1927 the Republic of Turkey ordered 10,000 new vz. 98/22s. When the vz. 24 short rifle replaced the 98/22s in Czech service, those vz. 98/22s were sold to Turkey and China. Chambered in 7.92x57mm JS Mauser.

Based on the M98 action, the vz. 24 rifle was designed to replace the vz. 98/22 in Czechoslovakian service. It featured a 600mm (23.5") barrel, tangent-leaf rear sight, and full-length handguard. It was produced at several factories in Czechoslovakia from 1924-1941, and exported to dozens of countries worldwide. After the German annexation of Czechoslovakia in 1938, the rifle was adopted alongside the Kar98k and production continued for the Wehrmacht under the designation Gewehr 24(t). It was chambered in 7x57mm, 7.65x53mm, and 7.92x57mm depending on the production contract. The shortened, lightened version is called carbine vz. 33.

Mauser Standard Modell - 7.92×57mm Mauser. The late version with turned down bolt handle.

This model, created around 1924 for export to other countries, is similar in length to the 98AZ carbine, but incorporates more of the original Gewehr 98 (especially the 98M and 98b variants) in comparison to it, to allow production on its machines. The equalities to the G98 are the grasping grooves, sling swivel under the stock, and the parade hook fitted on the upper band. This version was the last precursor to the Karabiner 98k, which was adopted by the Wehrmacht in 1935. Because of the Treaty of Versailles restriction of German weapons production, this model was secretly produced by Mauser in Switzerland.

The main buyers were China, becoming the Type Zhongzheng Rifle and South American countries, but also the Sturmabteilung (SA) bought a few copies. Many Standard Models were also sent to Spain during the Civil War.

FN Mauser Mle 1924

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
FN Mauser Mle. 1930 short rifle - 7×57mm Mauser. The Mle. 1924 looks identical to the M24 Serbian Mauser with the wooden front barrel.

The M24 rifle was an export model produced by the Belgian Fabrique Nationale constructed from the experiences of the German Gewehr 98-pattern rifle during the First World War. From the first manufactured M1922, long rifle followed 2 years later the Mle. 24 short rifle. The Belgian Army did not adopt this rifle instead it was exported to many Asian, African, and American countries in various calibers; 7×57mm Mauser, 7.65 mm, and 7.92 mm. Notably, the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (official name of Yugoslavia in 1918-1929) purchased many Mle. 1924 between 1926 to 1928 what then became the M24 Serbian Mauser.

Changes at the front barrel led to the Mle. 1930 which served as a model for the 1935 Peruvian Mauser variant. Both variants saw limited use in the Wehrmacht as the Gewehr 220(b) and Karabiner 420(b).

From 1950, some Mle. 1924 and 1930s were converted to the caliber .30-06 and .22 LR as training rifles.

The handguard extending from the receiver to the lower barrel band. These rifles were originally chambered in 7.65x53mm Mauser, however, after World War II Peru acquired surplus M1 Garand rifles from the US, and decided to standardize all their rifles in US .30-'06 Springfield. M1935 rifles had their chambers reamed out to take the longer cartridge.

Belgian Mauser Model 1935 was derived from Belgian Mauser Model 1889, incorporating elements of German Gewehr 1898. Belgian Army adopted it as Fusil Mle 1935 and planned to replace all existing rifles and carbines with a single model of modern short rifle. Model 1935 was produced by Manufacture d’Armes de L’Etat and FN Herstal until the defeat of Belgium in 1940 but never went into large scale production. Captured rifles were adopted by Wehrmacht as Gewehr 262(b) and Zielfernrohrgewehr 264(b) (sniper version). After the war, some Model 1935 rifles were re-chambered for .30-06 Springfield and were known as Model 35/46.

The M1936 Mexican Mauser short rifle was manufactured at Fábrica Nacional de Armas (National Arms Factory) in Mexico City from 1936 to 1954. It used a unique intermediate-length small-ring M98 action with a turned-down bolt handle. It also incorporated some elements of the US Springfield M1903 in its design; a knurled knob on the cocking piece allowed the bolt to be cocked without the manipulation of the bolt, and the upper and lower barrel bands. In 1954 the design was altered to .30-'06, and an adjustable aperture sight copied from the US M1903A3 was added to the receiver bridge. This variant is designated M1954.

M43 Spanish Mauser

Mosquetón Mauser Coruña modelo 1943 - 7.92x57mm Mauser

The Spanish M43 rifle was based on the Kar98k and produced at the La Coruna arsenal from 1944-1957. Unlike the Kar98k, it featured a straight bolt handle and a handguard that extended from the receiver almost to the upper barrel band. Like the M1909 Argentine Contract, the M43 featured an auxiliary bayonet lug attached to the convention Gew. 98-style lug. This allowed the rifle to mount the older bayonets designed for the M1893 and M1916 rifles. Rifles manufactured for the Spanish Air Force did not have the auxiliary lug. It is chambered in 7.92x57mm Mauser.

Many of these rifles were converted to the FR-8 model after the adoption of the CETME rifle in 1957.

Yugoslavian M48 Mauser - 7.92x57mm Mauser

The M48 Mauser is a post World War II intermediate-length M98 action, designed in Yugoslavia. Although similar in general appearance to the German Kar98K rifle, it is not a copy but is based on the earlier Serbian M24 rifle. The main difference between the M48 and the Kar98K is that the M48 receiver is 1/4" shorter than the standard-length Kar98K. They are usually easily identified by the top handguard which extends behind the rear sight, and ends just in front of the receiver ring. The model number is stamped under the crest: M48 or M48A. Rifles without crest or model number are M48BO models meant for export. M48's are regarded as a military surplus firearm and can be collected in the US at a generally cheap price due to the numbers recently imported from Europe.

CETME FR-8 - 7.62x51mm NATO

After Spain adopted the CETME Rifle in 1957, many M1916 and M43 Mauser rifles were converted to 7.62x51mm NATO to serve as training rifles for new recruits. M43 rifles so converted were designated CETME FR-8. Each rifle was fitted with an 18.5" barrel in 7.62x51mm NATO, equipped with a birdcage flash hider and CETME-style front sight. Beneath the barrel was a fake gas tube, which contained the cleaning rod and kit. At the front of the tube was a bayonet lug for mounting the new CETME rifle's bayonet. An adjustable aperture sight was installed on the receiver bridge, to provide a similar sight picture to the actual CETME rifle.

The rifle is named after ROC Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek's adopted name, Jiang Zhongzheng (Wade-Giles: Chiang Chung-cheng).
