The Lisu people originated from the ancient Qiang ethnic group, and are now mainly distributed in the border between Yunnan and Myanmar in China and the Nu River basin, with many unique customs and cultures.

Each ethnic group has its own place of origin and national characteristics. The Lisu people, who originated in the northern part of the Qingkang-Tibetan Plateau, are a transnational ethnic minority in China, Myanmar, India, and Thailand. During the long period of history, it has incorporated the blood of many other ethnic groups.

Every ethnic group has to go through a lot of setbacks and cruelties to this day. So let's take a look at the Lisu culture to understand the origin of the Lisu people.

The Lisu people originated from the ancient Qiang people who migrated south, and belong to the same ethnic origin as the Yi people. The name of his clan is the most Qi Bi, which was seen in the writings of the Tang Dynasty as early as the Tang Dynasty. The historical books of the Tang Dynasty called "Lisu and the two surnames of Man" or "Liman" and "Shiman" and "Shunmangao Jianju", all of which belonged to "Wuman", which were distributed in the vast areas such as Jinchuan, Yunnan Yabi River, Jinsha River, Lancang River and other broad areas; During the Yuan and Ming dynasties, it was mostly ruled by the feudal lords of the Naxi nationality in Lijiang Prefecture.

In the middle of the 16th century, due to the enslavement of the Naxi Mu clan Tusi and the threat of war, a large number of Lisu people migrated to the Nujiang River and other areas in northwest Yunnan under the leadership of the leader Kumu Bipa. In the 17th and 19th centuries, after the failure of the uprising, the ethnic group migrated several times, some into Burma; Some moved to Laos, Thailand, etc. Migration continued until the Qing Dynasty.

In the course of history, the Lisu people have been integrated into the blood of many other ethnic groups.

The Lisu people have a long history. Its ancestors originally lived on both sides of the Jinsha River. After the 16th century, it began to move into Nujiang, Dehong and other places.

The clan name Tang Dynasty has been seen in history. As the transliteration of the word "Lisu", there have been different ways of writing "Lisu", "Lisu", "Lisu", "Lisu", etc.

The Lisu people first lived in the Jinsha River basin at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan, and gradually moved to the Nujiang area of western Yunnan to settle down. The Lisu people are endemic to Yunnan, mainly living in Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture and Weixi Lisu Autonomous County in Yunnan Province, and the rest are scattered in Lijiang, Baoshan, Diqing, Dehong, Qichen Dali, Chuxiong and other prefectures and counties in Yunnan and Xichang, Yanyuan, Muli, Dechang and other counties in Sichuan. The Lisu people are descendants of the Qiang people, that is, a branch of the Tibeto-Burman language family, and the Lisu people have their own language, and the language belongs to the Yi branch of the Tibeto-Burman language family of the Sino-Tibetan language family.

1.The Lisu people have the custom of eating "hand pilaf" and drinking "concentric wine". "Drinking Tongxin wine and eating pilaf" is the highest etiquette of Lisu hospitality.

2.The Lisu people cremated those who were killed, and the rest were buried. The Lisu people are very emotional and sympathetic to the dead. If someone dies, relatives and people in the stockade go to mourn, mourn, dance and wake for him.

Overview of the Lisu ethnic group.

The Lisu nationality is an ancient member of China's big national family. It mainly lives in Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan Province, and the rest are distributed in Lijiang and Diqing, Dali, Baoshan, Dehong, Chuxiong, Lincang and other prefectures and counties. Yanyuan, Yanbian, Muli, Dechang and other counties in Sichuan Province are also distributed.

According to the statistics of the fifth national population census in 2000, the population of the Lisu ethnic group was 634912. Lisu language is used, which belongs to the Yi branch of the Tibeto-Burman language family of the Sino-Tibetan language family. Three kinds of scripts have been used, one is the pinyin script created by Western missionaries, the other is the syllabic script created by Wang Renbo, a farmer of the Lisu nationality in Weixi County, and the third is a new script in the form of Latin alphabet created after the founding of New China, which has been implemented in Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture.

The name of the Lisu people was first seen in the writings of the Tang people, and Fan Xuan's "Book of Barbarians" called it "Lisu", which was considered to be an integral part of the "Wuman" at that time. It is closely related to the Yi and Naxi ethnic groups in terms of ethnic origin. According to folklore and historical records, in the 8th century AD, the ancestors of the Lisu people lived on both sides of the Jinsha River and were ruled by two powerful tribes, "Bedeng and Lianglin".

After the 12th century, the Lisu people were successively ruled by the military and civilian governors of Lijiang Road in the Yuan Dynasty and the Mu clan in the Ming Dynasty. In the middle of the 16th century, due to the war and the oppression and plunder of the Mu Tusi, a large number of Lisu people, under the leadership of the head man Mu Bipa, crossed the Lancang River, crossed the Biluo Snow Mountain, and entered the Nu River area. In the following two centuries, a large number of Lisu people moved west and south, into Dehong, Lincang, Gengma and other places.

Some went south along the Jinsha River and entered Luquan, Dayao and other places. In the 20s of the 19th century, the Qing Dynasty implemented "changing the land and returning to the stream" in Lijiang, Yongsheng, Huaping and other places close to the distribution of the Lisu people in the mainland. Some hereditary Naxi and Bai Tusi were replaced by liuguan.

In 1908, the Yunnan-Guizhou Governor's Mansion and the Lijiang Prefecture sent Xia Hu, a member of the Ardunzi (Deqin) Impeachment Commissioner, to inspect the Nuyu and Liangjiang rivers, and Xia Hu appointed Nu Guan and Yuan Yucai to manage the affairs of the Nu River and Chi Shu Yu Jiang (Dulong Dadan Oak River) respectively, and ordered to ban the harsh faction of the Tusi in the past against the Lisu and Dulong tribes in Kampu, Yezhi, Chavalong and other places. In 1911, the British colonialists invaded and occupied the Chinese territory of Pianma, Yudong, Gangfang and other places. After the Xinhai Revolution, Cai Yi, the governor of the Yunnan Military Governor's Office, appointed Li Gengen, commander-in-chief of the Western Defense National Army and commander of the First Division, to form three colonial border teams to enter the Nujiang area, thus preventing the British colonial forces from spying on the Nujiang River.

After that, the Yunnan local ** respectively established four administrative commissioner offices in the Nujiang area, including Zhiziluo (Bijiang), Shangpa (Fugong), Calamus Bucket (Gongshan), and Lushui, which were changed to administrative bureaus after 1928, and set up a public security bureau in Maodang, Duchengjiang, to manage the affairs of Dulongjiang.
