In the Ming Dynasty, the Miao people's situation was answered according to historical facts.

In the first year of Hongwu (AD 1368), Taizu issued a royal edict, which said, "Dressing clothes is like the Tang Dynasty", and braided hair, vertebral bun, Hu Fu, Hu Yu and Hu surname were forbidden. In the early Ming dynasty, it was also explicitly forbidden for the descendants of Pu Shougeng in southern Fujian to become officials. Pu Shougeng, a Muslim, was awarded the title of "lifting the city ship" in Quanzhou during the Song Lizong period (AD 1225-1264) (equivalent to the present General Administration of Customs). After entering the Yuan Dynasty, Zeng Guan went to Zuocheng, a province in Jiangxi Province, for his meritorious service in helping the Yuan Dynasty destroy the Song Dynasty. After Zhu Yuanzhang founded the Ming Dynasty, because Minnan Muslims, represented by Pu Shougeng, helped the Yuan Dynasty to unify China, Zhu Yuanzhang took this opportunity to get revenge, which led to the decline and assimilation of Muslims in this area. "Ming Law" stipulates that semu people are not allowed to marry each other of the same kind. If they violate it, they will be beaten with 8 sticks, and men and women will become slaves.

Hongwu collected 36 caves to disperse hair in five years. In the sixth year of Jingtai, Huguang Miao Meng was recruited, and Longli, Huaihua and Tonggu were besieged. In the fifth year of Tianshun, the army went deep into the scenic zone, broke through hundreds of villages, burned 3,, and beheaded 3,3 people. In the third year of Tianshun (AD 1459), 4,49 people were killed and 5,5 women were taken captive to other places after the failed uprising of the Miao people in central Guizhou. During the Wanli period, when the Ming Dynasty used troops to quell the rebellion of the Tusi Yang Ying Long in Bozhou, many Miao people and Gelao people were massacred and forced to flee, and only "two out of ten" survived after the war. In order to "open the border", the Ming Dynasty built a large number of forts in eastern Guizhou, Guiyang and Anshun, forcing many Miao people to move. (Qiubei County Annals, Volume II) The passbook of Bai Gui, the right deputy commander of military affairs in Guizhou, had a decapitation of 1, on the left and a decapitation of 3, on the right. According to the Records of the Phoenix Hall and Luxi County, the population of Miao area is "a few times extinct" because of its extensive experience. "After the slashing and suppression, the village was empty and deserted." In order to strengthen the control of the "seedling-growing" area, the rulers of the Ming Dynasty repeatedly resorted to the use of force to carry out large-scale military suppression and slaughter, and issued a reward. Anyone who captured a seedling alive was rewarded with five taels of silver, and those who killed a seedling were rewarded with three taels of silver (Guo Zizhang's Qian Ji, Volume 59).
