History

The Achang people lived in the Yunlong area during the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1268 AD). Their leader Zaogai made a rule in which the tribe leader could only be succeeded by the oldest son of the former leader. The Achang community became stronger and began to have trade relationships with other kingdoms like Jinchi and Bo. The Achang were descendants of the Xunchuan people in the Tang Dynasty. In the 16th year of the reign of Emperor Honghu in the Ming Dynasty (1383AD), under the leadership of Zuona, the Achang people pledged allegiance to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. During Hongwu period, Duanbo from the Han nationality was appointed the governor of Yunlong Region, and from then on the Achang ethnic group was degraded and at the same time they began to move to live in Dehong region in the southwest and as a result lost their home native land.
