Ethnic distribution

In history, Mupi Tibetan township has always been a unified administrative unit and economic region with today's Muzuo Tibetan Township, Baima Tibetan Township and huangyangguan Tibetan township. The four townships belong to the hereditary territory of Wang's Chieftain family. In particular, the relationship between Mupi and Muzuo is closer. In history, Mupi was under the direct jurisdiction of Tongtan chieftain for a long time, forming a characteristic huoxigou Fandi. It was not until 1952 that the Muzuo tribe was separated from the big white bear tribe in Mupi because of the need of the people's Government of Pingwu Tibetan Autonomous Region, and became a pilot town for political construction. The ethnic minorities in Mupi are the same ethnic group as those in Muzuo, Baima and huangyangguan, that is, Baima Tibetan. They belong to the same blood relationship and have very close ties in all aspects. They have insisted on intermarriage for a long time and become a family in fact. In the years of war and chaos in history, remote areas such as Baima and Muzuo have become the best places for ethnic minorities in Mupi to seek refuge from their relatives and friends, escape from famine and preserve their survival. Later, because of marriage, he moved to a very small number of Miao, Buyi and Hui. Mupi township is located at the junction of Baima Tibetan inhabited area and Han inhabited area. The ethnic minorities in the township not only retain their own national characteristics, but also are deeply influenced by the Han culture. Therefore, in Mupi Baima Tibetans, there are often two characteristics at the same time. The main reason for this phenomenon is that Mupi township is too close to Pingwu County, which was influenced by Han nationality for a long time in history. The origin of Baima Tibetan in Mupi includes two parts. Some are immigrants. The other part is the local aborigines, which is the main part. The surnames of Meng, mu, Liu, Zeng, Lai, etc. among the immigrants are from Muzuo Tibetan township. Some of the surnames of Li and Zhao are also from Muzuo. The surname of Ma is from Baima Road, the surname of Yang is from huangyangguan, and the surnames of Que and Wang are from Wenxian County, Gansu Province. The native fanren in Mupi Tibetan Township include the six major ethnic groups of Shui, Tang, Li, Zhao, bu and Han, which is commonly known as the "six old fanren in huoxigou". In the past, these indigenous fans were called "chahu" and "laolianghu", while the folk used to call them "laofanren". In addition, Chenjiagou (chenjiazhai), the Chen surname of Yuquan, and the Jin surname of chiluoshan are also Laofan people who have lived there for generations. the above eight families used to live together and lived in relatively fixed villages. In modern times, after two so-called "FanLuan" in 1861 and 1911, and the calamity of the central army of the Kuomintang against the baimapan people in 1935, the population spread and the nation declined. Because of the mutual marriage, especially after the social turmoil, in order to survive the nation, they had to take the form of "holding a son" (that is, entering a redundant family). This has resulted in the fact that all families are one family.
