The Allying Stele Between Dali And 37 Tribes
The Stele on Alliance between Family Duan
of Dali Kingdom and 37 Tribes, unearthed at the former site of Shicheng
(Stone Town) in the north of the Qujing County in the 18th of Kangxi
Reign of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), is presently preserved in the
First Middle School of Qujing Municipality. Inscribed on the stele were
the historical records that after King Duan of Dali Kingdom (938-1253)
united headmen of 37 tribes, the allied armies conquered the East Yunnan
clans, and took oaths for the alliance at Shicheng Town; the King then
granted awards to and bestowed official posts upon the headmen. Thanks
to its value for studying the history of Dali Kingdom, the stele has
been listed as a key historic relic for nation-level protection.
