论明代彝族土司的臣服与反抗

On the Submission and Rebellion of the Yi People's Tusi in the Ming Dynasty

明代彝族地区的土司制度,在元代初创的基础上进一步完善。在这一过程中,以职衔、承袭、朝贡、纳赋、征调、教化等为标志,体现出明廷与彝族土司之间错综复杂的关系,臣服与反抗,统一与分裂,因时因事交织在一起,终明一世,从未间断。

The Tusi system is a type of governance for the Yi people of old times, founded in the Yuan Dynasty and further improved in the Ming Dynasty. In the process complex relation- ships arose between the Ming Dynasty Court and the Yi Tusi rulers, symbolized by official titles, inheritance, tribute, taxation and assimilation. As a result, submission versus re- bellion and unity versus separation occurred alternately.
