Do Zhuang people like living in Dashi Mountain area? Does Zhuang represent backwardness and poverty? This is only the appearance of the original reason,

In fact, it is not a question of liking or not, but the result of the sudden decline of Zhuang population in Tushan area of eastern Guangxi caused by history. According to the Records of Ming History, Zhuang people account for 80% of Guangxi's population, but successive governments of Ming Dynasty sent troops to conquer the free villages of Zhuang and Yao people in eastern Guangxi and western Guangdong. Under the brutal killing of the Ming government, the Zhuang people in these two areas were almost killed, and most of the rest were assimilated by Han immigrants in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Today, the population of Zhuang nationality in Tushan area in eastern Guangxi is very small. The traces of Zhuang nationality can only be seen from local historical materials. Even these remaining Zhuang people are not native to eastern Guangxi, but descendants of Zhuang people in western Guangxi who were ordered by the Ming government to conquer eastern Guangxi. The Ming government did not want to conquer the Zhuang nationality in western Guangxi, but the social structure of the Zhuang nationality in western Guangxi was different from that in western Guangdong and eastern Guangxi. It was a feudal lords system, with lords and troops. On the surface, they surrendered to the Ming dynasty, but they still went their own way and conquered each other. The Ming government used the fierce rebellion as an excuse to kill Cen, one of the biggest lords of Zhuang nationality at that time, and wanted to take the opportunity to abolish Tusi and be ruled by Han people. However, the rebellion of Cen's family ministers was aroused, and the Ming government had to give up and Cen Meng's grandson took charge of Tusi instead. However, Cen's territory was divided into twelve cities, which were the predecessors of Du 'an, Pingguo, Wuming, Mashan, Shanglin and Long 'an counties in the central and western regions. This has caused the situation that Zhuang people in Guangxi are mainly distributed in Dashi Mountain area in the west.
