This book examines how the Ming state transformed the multi-ethnic
society of Yunnan into a province. Yunnan had remained outside the
ambit of central government when ruled by the Dali kingdom,
937-1253, and its foundation as a province by the Yuan regime in
1276 did not disrupt Dali kingdom style political, social and
religious institutions. It was the Ming state in the fourteenth to
seventeenth centuries through its institutions for military and
civilian control which brought about profound changes and truly
transformed local society into a province. In contrast to other
studies which have portrayed Yunnan as a non-Han frontier region
waiting to be colonised, this book, by focusing on changes in local
society, casts off the idea of Yunnan as a border area far from
civilisation.
