Xīnxīngsuǒ

Xīnxīng was a Ming thousand-household post in the southwestern Guizhou highlands, at Pǔ'ān. It belonged to Ānnán Guard, whose garrisons formed part of the military presence along the route to Yunnan. The area also contained the separate Pǔ'ān Guard, as well as other military posts. Their settlements placed soldiers and their households among the older communities of the plateau as the Ming consolidated its rule in the southwest.
