Muchi

The Muchi, or Muping tusi, were a hereditary Gyalrong chiefdom in the mountains west of Yazhou, in present-day Baoxing County.

In 1410 the chief Nange submitted to the Ming. His successor Keluo Jiancan invaded Tsakho and occupied old Weizhou in 1449, but Muping lost its gains after his death in 1455. It submitted to the Qing in 1662; its troops helped storm Dartsedo during the 1700 rising. Its rulers later intermarried with Mingzheng, and the Yutong branch became a separate tusi in 1833.
