Guǎngnán

Guangnan was a Zhuang native chieftaincy in southeastern Yunnan, centred on Guangnan. The Yuan established the Guangnan West Route pacification commission in the 1270s.

After the Ming conquered Yunnan, Guangnan became a prefecture under Nong native prefects; the court still campaigned against unrest among native officials in the 1630s. The Qing introduced appointed officials in 1661, added Weimo in 1669 and established Baoning County at the prefectural seat in 1736, leaving Fuzhou as its only native subprefecture.
