The establishment of Wuchi Road in Qin Dynasty marked the beginning of the official rule of Yunnan by the central dynasty.

In the second year of the Han Dynasty (before 109), during the period of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, it opened in the southwest, and the king of Yunnan surrendered, setting up Yizhou County and leading 27 counties. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yongchang County was located in today's Baoshan, which also belonged to Yizhou Department. The rule of Yunnan was further deepened, and the territory of China in western Yunnan was basically laid.

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Yunnan, Guizhou and southwestern Sichuan were called "South China". During the Three Kingdoms period, some slave owners and nobles in the south occupied the land, and Zhuge Liang led the army across Shandong (now Jinsha River) to pacify the south and adjust the county system.

In the Western Jin Dynasty, Yunnan was changed to Ningzhou, which was directly ruled by the central government and became one of China 19 Kyushu countries. At this time, iron was widely used in Yunnan, and immigrants settled in fields. New factors of feudal relations of production have emerged in central and northeastern Yunnan. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Yunnan entered the rule of cuan clan.
