Míngyí

Mingyi lay along the lower Anning River, south of Dechang and north of the river's meeting with the Yalong. Mountains rise on both sides of the narrow valley, through which the Anning flows towards the Jinsha. In the Song period the surrounding country was known as Mingyi and lay within the sphere of the Dali kingdom. Its river corridor connected the uplands of Jianchang with the warmer country to the south.
