Shǔidōng

Shuidong was a hereditary Song clan chiefdom in Guizhou. It submitted to the Yuan dynasty and entered the tusi system in 1303.

The Song chief submitted to the Ming in 1371. During the conquest of Yunnan, the regent Liu Shuzhen travelled to Nanjing and secured the recall of the general Ma Ye in 1384. Shuidong's seat of Guizhou City became the provincial capital in 1413; a Miao uprising drove out Song Ran in 1513. Song Wanhua joined the She-An Rebellion in 1623 and was executed; the Ming annexed Shuidong after defeating his son in 1630.
