The formation of Tunpu people’s Tunpu

The garrison troops in the Ming Dynasty formed ancient villages and forts

The Ming Dynasty was the largest immigration era in the history of Yunnan and Guizhou. In the 14th year of Hongwu (1381), Zhu Yuanzhang sent 300,000 troops to attack the southwest, wiped out the remaining forces of the Yuan Dynasty, and left the army in the Yunnan-Guizhou region. He also ordered that all the parents, wives, and children of those who stayed in the garrison should be sent to the garrison area. Locally, the military garrison is called "tun", the immigrant's residence is called "fort", and their descendants are called "tunpu people". 600 years have passed, and the architecture, clothing and entertainment methods of Tunpu houses still follow the cultural customs of the Ming Dynasty.
