Dàfāng

Dàfāng was a centre of the Shuixi native rulers, whose neighbours included the She family of Yongning. In 1574 a dispute between the two powers brought fighting and destruction to both Dafang and Gǔlìn. Early in the Tianqi reign, the Yongning chief She Chongming rose against the Ming; the uprising drew in the Shuixi leader An Bangyan and led to campaigns across the southwest.
