The origin of the name
The ancient clan name. During the Han and Jin Dynasties, some tribes living in western Yunnan, eastern Yunnan and mountainous areas of Yunnan were called Kunzhong, or Kunshu. It is the largest and most widely distributed ethnic group in Yunnan. At that time, the Han people called the ethnic minorities in Yunnan "Yi" or "Yi species". The big species is called "Kun" and the small species is called "Bo". At the same time as Kunming people, there are tribes of the same family, such as Yi (Yinxi), Yi and Qiong. It belongs to the primitive social period of "migrating with livestock, not in the usual place, not long". They repeatedly blocked the way for Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty to seek complete poison (India). Liu Shangdu captured the "Kunming Middle Schools" in the Eastern Han Dynasty, chased Buwei (now Shidian) and set up a western captain (later changed to Yongchang County) in Erhai and Baoshan to manage the "Kunming" people in this area. "Kunming" People living in the east of Dianchi Lake left the name "Kunming" in their place of residence. After Zhuge Liang's expedition to the south, he moved south and died in more than 10 thousand homes in Shu. "Green Qiang" is different from taxpayers. The "Kunming" people who live in the mountainous areas and engage in nomadic activities are vertically distributed with the "Bo" and "Nong" people who live in the dam area and engage in farming. During the historical period of the Three Kingdoms, there were so-called "upper barbarians" and "lower barbarians" in Yunnan. "Shangfangyi" is a Kunming person who lives in the mountains. After the Western Jin Dynasty, a large number of Cuo people and Bo people in Judy County moved westward, and eastern Yunnan became the main settlement of Kun people. Because he lived in the east of Guangxi, he was later called "Donggui". But as far as clan is concerned, it is different from Guan. During the Shu-Han period, a large number of "Kunming people" who originally lived in western Yunnan moved to central and northeastern Yunnan to join the "Kunming people" who originally lived there. During the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties, Kunming people who lived in northeast Yunnan once established the "Luodian State". The westward migration of "Yunnan Bo" and the eastward migration of "Kunming" were the mainstream of ethnic migration from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
