Róngměi

Rongmei was a Tujia tusi lordship in the mountains of western Hubei, around Hefeng and Wufeng. Its Tian clan held office under the Yuan from 1310.

The Tian expanded towards Wufeng and the Hunan border, absorbing four pacification offices and appointing chiefs to twenty-seven local offices without imperial sanction. The Yongzheng emperor called Rongmei the richest and strongest tusi of Hubei and Sichuan. In 1735 it resisted Qing replacement of native rule and was defeated; its territory became Hefeng subprefecture.
