Chiefdom of Lijiang

The Chiefdom of Lijiang (simplified Chinese: 丽江土司; traditional Chinese: 麗江土司; pinyin: Lìjiāng tǔsī; Naxi: Yiggv Tufsil) was a Nakhi autonomous Tusi chiefdom that ruled Lijiang during Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasty.

Moubao Acong (牟保阿琮), the chieftain of Lijiang, surrendered to the Mongol Empire.

His son was granted the title Lijiang Lu Xuanweishi (麗江路宣慰使) by Yuan dynasty.

Lijiang saw its golden age during Mu Zeng's reign; It became the most powerful in present-day southwestern China.

It was a successful diplomatic effort, Ming China did nothing but send an envoy to Lijiang to call for a cease-fire.

Mu Yi rejected to swear allegiance to Wu Sangui, and was thrown into prison.

The leader of Mu family was granted the title Tǔ Tōngpàn (土通判) from Chinese court, but had no real power.
