Nalou

Nalou was a Yi native chief's territory on the middle Red River, south of Lin'an in southern Jianshui and Mengzi. Under the Yuan its headmen held a thousand-household commission in the Hani route.

In 1384 the Ming established the Nalou Chadian Chief's Office under Lin'an. The Pu family held the office hereditarily through the Ming and Qing, governing the valley villages. In 1817 rebels proclaimed Gao Luoyi Hani king; their rising swept the region and defeated the chief Pu Cheng'en, and Qing troops later suppressed it.
