Chiefdom of Yao'an (Chinese: 姚安土司; pinyin: Yáo'ān Tǔsī), ruled by the Gao clan, was a Bai autonomous Tusi chiefdom during Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. The chiefdom was located at the convergence of modern-day Yunnan and Sichuan provinces.
The Gao clan were descendants of Gao Shengtai, who was the emperor of the short-lived Dazhong state which existed from 1094 to 1096.[1][2] The Gao clan ruled Yao'an for more than 700 years, surviving several dynastic changes in China, until its last ruler Gao Houde was arrested by Qing Chinese in 1725.[3] In 1729, Yao'an was fully annexed into the central bureaucratic system of the Qing dynasty.[4]
