Dǔyáng

Dǔyáng was a native chiefship in the mountainous country northwest of Sī'ēn, beside the waterways of western Guangxi. In 1528 the Ming appointed Huáng Liú as hereditary patrol officer. His descendants retained the position after the Qing conquest. The chief's seat at Bāzào village was enclosed by an earthen wall rather than a full city wall; it fell into disrepair during the wars at the end of the Ming, and officials and villagers continued to live on the old site.
