Historical evolution

edit
In the Neolithic Age, there were human activities in Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture.
Before the Tang Dynasty, there were aborigines, white wolves, Jie Qiang and other ancient tribes living in Diqing.
In the fourth year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty (621), China was set up. Today, some areas of Weixi and Shangri La are one of the thirteen Jimi states in Yaozhou Dudu Mansion, south of Jiannan in the Tang Dynasty.
In the second year of Tianfu in the Later Jin Dynasty (937), Duan Siping destroyed Yang Ganzhen and established a local regime, which was called "Dali State", replacing Nanzhao, and Weixi changed its governance to Dali State.
In the Song Dynasty (960~1254), Dali State abolished its discipline and set up four towns and eight prefectures. Weixi County was under the jurisdiction of Mexie Grand Chieftain. It belonged to Chengji Town, one of the four towns. It was named Luojian, and it was a dangerous and remote place at the extreme edge of Dali State. In the Song Dynasty, Tibetan areas in the territory became the place where Tibetan Buddhism flourished, while the line along the Jinsha River was occupied by some great chieftains, known as Huama Kingdom.
In the third year of Yuan Xianzong (1253), Kublai khan In the eighth year of the Zhiyuan era (1271), Kublai Khan of the Yuan Dynasty sent Wu Duman to lead the Mongol army to defend Dandang (today's Shangri la area, formerly Zhongdian), and set up a Chahan chapter in the same year. In September of the 30th year of the Zhiyuan era (1293), Dandang (Zhongdian) in Yunnan was under the jurisdiction of the Xuanzheng Yuan.
In the fifth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1372), Deqin returned to the Tubo and other roads to promote and comfort Marshal Sidu's office, Ben Buer and Si Gang, to denounce the jurisdiction of Simerkan (Mangkang) and Lazong (Batang) of Wanhu Mansion.
In August of the sixth year of Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1667), the Mongolian Heshuote Ministry of Qinghai was invited by the Gelu Sect to occupy Zhongdian, set up Dukezong (today's central town) in Zhongdian, and the fifth Dalai Lama sent his officials to manage Zhongdian and collect taxes. In the 51st year of Kangxi (1712), Zhongdian established the highest local authority, namely the joint meeting (cloud blowing meeting) composed of officials (chieftains), people (old people) and gods (temples), to agree on political, religious, economic and other major events. In the 58th year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1719), the Qing Dynasty recovered Batang, set up a chief and deputy chieftain in Batang, and Deqin returned to Batang's jurisdiction. In 1723, Zhongdian was assigned to Yunnan Province. In the 21st year of Qianlong's reign (1756), Aibida, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, gave the order, changed Weixi and Zhongdian to Lijiang Prefecture, upgraded Zhongdian to a hall, abolished the state judgment, and changed Chuxiong Tongzhi to Zhongdian Tongzhi. In the 22nd year of Qianlong's reign (1757), the General Weixi of the Qing Dynasty was changed into the General Weixi Fuyi. In the 32nd year of Guangxu's reign (1906), the Qing government set up Ah Dunzi (Xia Hu), a member of the Spring and Compression Committee, who was returned to Weixi to pass a sentence of moderation, but failed to establish a county later.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Republic of China, the local governments in Zhongdian, Weixi and Deqin still used the old system. In the 36th year of the Republic of China (1947), the whole province was changed from 7 administrative supervision districts to 13, and Weixi belonged to the 13th Office of Administrative Supervision Commissioner. In the 37th year of the Republic of China (1948), the 13th Office of the Commissioner of Administrative Supervision was set up in Weixi County, governing Weixi, Lijiang, Zhongdian and Lanping counties, and four administrative bureaus in Deqin, Gongshan, Fugong and Bijiang.
On October 1, 1949, the People's Republic of China was established, and the People's Government of Weixi County was also announced to be established on the same day. It is under the jurisdiction of the People's Commission of Northwest Yunnan.
On May 10, 1950, the People's Government of Zhongdian County was established as the Lijiang District Commissioner's Office. In the same year, the military representatives sent by the Lijiang Prefecture Committee of the Communist Party of China took over the Deqin County Senate and the Deqin County Administrative Bureau, and established the people's power institutions at the county level (Deqin County Administrative Bureau) under the jurisdiction of Lijiang; Weixi also belongs to Lijiang District.
In May 1952, the Deqin Tibetan Autonomous Region and the People's Government of the Autonomous Region were established.
In December 1955, at the sixth meeting of the first people's congress of all ethnic groups and all walks of life in Deqin County, it was decided to change Deqin Tibetan Autonomous Region into Deqin County, and the people's government of the autonomous region into the county people's committee.
On September 13, 1957, with the approval of the State Council of the People's Republic of China, the People's Government of Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture was established, which governs Zhongdian, Weixi and Deqin counties and is under the custody of Lijiang District.
Since 1973, Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture has no longer been managed by Lijiang. [15]
