Xībǎo

Xībǎo was one of the hereditary native chiefships of the Ānshùn region in central Guizhou. Its establishment belonged to the reorganisation of local government following the early Ming conquest and the abolition of Pǔdìng Prefecture. Relations with the new dynasty could be turbulent: in 1393, the Xībǎo chief Ā Dé and leaders of other stockades rose against Ming authority. The court sent the Guizhou commander Gù Chéng to suppress them, an episode recorded in the Ming history of Ānshùn.
