试论云南武定彝族李氏土司的来源与发展

On the Origin and Development of Li Chieftain of Yi Nationality in Wuding, Yunnan Province

关于环州李氏土司的先祖,目前多数学者认为来自四川安宁河流域的安氏土司。但查阅史料,环州李氏土司先祖来自安宁河流域安氏土司查无实据,可能为后世所附会。其实,彝族李氏土司先祖安讷是在明嘉靖年间被从寻甸调征武定凤氏土司有功而"功授总管",得以镇守大、小环州,在环州世袭了前后十六代土官。

As for the ancestors of Li’s chieftain in Huanzhou,most scholars think that they come from the An’s chieftains in Anning River Basin of Sichuan Province.However,since historical data give no substantial evidentce to prove the lineage between the ancestors of Li’s chieftain in Huanzhou and the An’s chieftain in the Anning River basin,this idea may be a misinterpretation by later generations.In fact,Annah,the ancestor of Li chieftain of Yi nationality,had been a Feng chieftain transferred from Xundian to Wuding during Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty,who later was promoted as"local governor"for his meritorious service to guard the big and small Huanzhou,with his offsprings inheriting his position for 16 generations.
