Qūjìng

Qujing was a region of eastern Yunnan centred on Nanning, on the upper Nanpan River. In 1337 it was organised as Qujing Route under the Yuan dynasty.

In 1381 Ming armies entered Yunnan through Qujing under generals including Fu Youde and Mu Ying. In 1382 the Ming made Qujing a prefecture with its seat at Nanning; hereditary chiefs, or tusi, governed surrounding peoples alongside prefectural officials. The Qing also retained Qujing Prefecture and its seat at Nanning.
