Lípíng

Liping was a Kam chiefdom in the southeastern Guizhou highlands. The Yuan established the Liping native long commandery in 1322, under the Tian family of Sizhou.

After suppressing Kam resistance in 1385, the Ming replaced the commandery with Wukai Guard and settled military farmers there. In 1413 they established Liping Prefecture, governing thirteen Kam chiefdoms; it passed from Huguang to Guizhou in 1603. The Miao uprising of 1735 to 1736 also reached Liping.
