Qiūběi

Qiubei lies in the hill country of southeastern Yunnan, within the former territory of Weimo. Before the Yuan established Weimo Prefecture, the area was home to the Weimo people and their local rulers. In the early Ming the hereditary official Zi Shide offered horses and valuables to the court and continued to govern the prefecture. In 1730 a Qing official was stationed at Baomapo, the site that became the seat of Qiubei.
