The Study on the Clan of Hesuonan(何锁南) People

明初何锁南归附明朝后,任河州卫指挥同知,俗称何土司,然而关于何锁南的族属问题却长期悬而未决,或认为是藏族沙马部落,或认为是蒙古族。文章通过考证认为,沙马族为唐代中期以来就生活在河、岷一带的藏族部落;何锁南与沙马族无关,他应是蒙古族。

Hesuonan(何锁南) people submitted to the authority of the Ming government in the early period of Ming Dynasty. However, scholars hold different ideas on its clan, this article studies the clan of Hesuonan(何锁南) people and argues that Hesuonan(何锁南) people are the descendent of Mongolian people.
