What distinctive place names did the Ming army leave when it entered the frontier of Yunnan?

Now there are many names in Yunnan, such as Wei, Suo, Qi, Ying, Tun, Wu, Bao, Pu, Guan and Shao. Not all these names were left by the Ming army, but how did they come into being?

Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, summed up the lessons of various dynasties and immigrated to Yunnan in an unprecedented way. More than one million people moved to Yunnan through the southern expedition, official relocation and military camps. The Han nationality has become the main ethnic group in Yunnan, and the Central Plains culture has cut into Yunnan in an all-round way. The primitive Yunnan is no longer primitive.

After development, a kind of "Yunnan culture" has been formed. "Yunnan culture" is not all Chinese culture, nor is it all local culture, but a cultural separation between Han culture and ethnic minorities.

"Yunnan culture" is most directly reflected in place names and languages. During the Hongwu period, the action of opening Yunnan was to level Yunnan, set up three divisions, set up health stations, and then set up world-wide reclamation.

Reclamation culture was formed in Hongwu period, and the expression of this culture is the culture of place names formed by reclamation.

Reclaim this land. Resettlement is called wasteland, and troops are also called wasteland. Therefore, many place names in Yunnan are named after officers' surnames, such as "Miaojiatun" and "Hujiatun".

Battalion, that is, barracks and camps. There are also place names named after the surnames of local officers, such as "Great Britain" and "Li Jiaying".

Wu refers to the official position. There are 100 officers who call them 100 families. So-and-so hundreds of households, called so-and-so when stationed in tuen mun; In ancient times, the army consisted of five people. If there are five military households stationed here, the name of this village will be Wu.

There are also names such as Wei, Qi, Bao and Guan. , and will not be repeated here.

Let's talk about language-related place names, such as Wumeng (Zhaotong) in northeast Yunnan, where the Yi language means blooming flowers. Diqing, Tibetan is auspicious, Xishuangbanna, and Thai is 12,000 mu of land. These are all recorded in historical materials and translated by people.

For some places and cultures in Yunnan, most of them were formed in the Ming Dynasty, so it is reasonable to attribute the credit to the Ming army's reclamation.
