Shanglin

Shanglin was a Zhuang native chieftaincy in the upper Youjiang valley of northwestern Guangxi, in the area of present-day Tianlin and Xilin. Shanglin dong belonged to Lai'an Route under the Yuan.

Under the Ming, Shanglin was reorganised as a Chief's Office in 1409. Cen Zicheng, son of the Sicheng chief Cen Shanzhong, succeeded as its hereditary head, and a branch of the Cen clan ruled the office thereafter.
