The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (Qinghai-Tibet?Plateau, or Tibetan?Plateau), China's largest and the world's highest plateau. Distributed in China, the plateau covers the Tibet Autonomous Region, western Sichuan Province, and parts of Yunnan Province in the southwest, and all of Qinghai Province, southern Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, and parts of Gansu Province in the northwest. The entire Tibetan Plateau also includes parts of Bhutan, Nepal, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan, with a total area of nearly 3 million square kilometers. It covers an area of 2.57 million square kilometers, with an average elevation of 4,000 to 5,000 meters above sea level, and is known as the "Roof of the World" and the "Third Pole". It is the birthplace of many great rivers in Asia.

The bulk of this plateau is in western China, including all of Tibet Autonomous Region and Qinghai Province, western Sichuan Province, southern Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, and parts of Gansu and Yunnan. In addition, the entire Tibetan Plateau includes parts of Bhutan, Nepal, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan. [1] With regard to the part of the Tibetan Plateau within China, some scholars have fully discussed the principles and issues involved in determining the extent and boundaries of the Tibetan Plateau from a geographic point of view, based on the new results of research in Tibetan Plateau-related fields and many years of field practice, and have accurately localized and quantitatively analysed the extent and location of the boundaries of the Plateau in conjunction with information technology methods. It is concluded that the Tibetan Plateau in China extends from the Pamir Plateau in the west to the Hengduan Mountains in the east, spanning 31 degrees of longitude, with an east-west length of 2?945 km; from the southern edge of the Himalayas in the south to the north of the Kunlun-Kilian Mountains in the north, it extends across 13 degrees of latitude, with a north-south breadth of 1?532 km; the range of the Tibetan Plateau is from 26°00′12″N~39°46′50″N, ?73°18′52″E ~104°46′59″E, with an area of 2572.4×103km2, accounting for 26.8% of China's total land area. [2] In terms of administrative division, the Tibetan Plateau in China involves six provinces and 201 counties (cities), namely, the Tibet Autonomous Region (with only a small part of the three counties of Qunar, Mutuo, and Chashu) and Qinghai Province (with only a partial part of the counties), the Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in northwestern Yunnan Province, Ganzi and Aba Tibetan Autonomous Prefectures and the Autonomous Prefecture of Muzheyi in western Sichuan Province, and the Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Gansu Province, Tianzhu Tibetan Autonomous County, Su'nan Yugu Autonomous County, Su'nan Mongol Autonomous County, and Aksei Kazakh Autonomous County in Gansu Province, as well as parts of Bayin'guoleng Mongol Autonomous Prefecture, Hotan and Kashgar Regions and Kizilsu Kyrgyz Autonomous Prefecture at the southern edge of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

National Spirit Expanded Edit this paragraph Overview Loess Plateau in China's northern region and the junction of the Northwest, it is from the Taihang Mountains in the east, the west to the Ussher Ridge, south of the Qinling Mountains, the Great Wall in the north, mainly including Shanxi, Shaanxi, as well as Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia, Henan, and other provinces in part of the region, covering an area of 400,000 square kilometers accounted for the world's loess distribution of 70% for the world's largest accumulation of loess area. Loess is 50-80 meters thick, the climate is more arid, precipitation is concentrated, vegetation is sparse, soil erosion is serious. Loess Plateau is rich in minerals, coal, oil, bauxite reserves. The loess is fine-grained, soft and rich in mineral nutrients, which is conducive to farming, and has a long history of reclamation in the basin and river valleys. However, due to the lack of vegetation protection, and the summer rainfall concentration, and more rainstorms, in the long-term erosion of the ground was divided into very broken, the formation of gullies and ravines interspersed between the loess, the mountaineering, mount.
The Loess Plateau Atlas (21 images) is generally less than 1/10 flat arable land, the vast majority of the arable land is distributed in 10 ° ~ 35 ° on the slope. The plots are small and scattered, which is not conducive to hydraulization and mechanization. Loess Plateau soil erosion is serious, the annual Yellow River through Shaanxi County under the leakage of about 1.6 billion tons of sediment, 90% of which comes from the Loess Plateau, with sediment loss of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium nutrients of more than 3,000 million tons. Comprehensive management of the Loess Plateau is China's transformation of nature project in the key projects, the management policy is to take soil and water conservation as the center, the combination of soil and water management, slope and ditch management, engineering measures and biological measures, the implementation of agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry integrated development, this management measures have made significant achievements. Loess Plateau region is rich in coal, oil, bauxite and other resources, is China's important energy and chemical base.

Location of the Inner Mongolian Plateau on a map
Part of the Mongolian Plateau. It is located north of the Yinshan Mountains, west of the Daxingan Mountains, north to the national border, and west to near 106°E longitude. Between 40°20′ ~ 50°50′ north latitude, 106° ~ 121°40′ east longitude. The area is about 340,000 square kilometers. The administrative division includes the western part of Hulunbeier City, most of Xilingol League, and the northern parts of Ulanqab and Bayannur. The Inner Mongolian Plateau in a broad sense also includes the Ordos Plateau south of the Yinshan Mountains and the Alashan Plateau west of the Helan Mountains. Editorial Overview of the Plateau The Inner Mongolia Plateau? (Inner?Mongolian?Plateau) is located in northern China and is the second largest plateau in China. The Inner Mongolian Plateau is open, with gently undulating ground. From the airplane overlooking the plateau is like a vast sea of smoke and waves, the ancient people called "Hanhai". On the plateau, there are both grasslands and deserts, and it is one of the natural pastures and desert areas in China. Edit this section of the geographic features across the plateau of China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Located in the west of the Daxinganling, north of the Yinshan and Beishan Mountains, east of the Horsehair Mountains, ?China's second largest plateau
north to Mongolia, including most of Inner Mongolia and the northern part of Gansu Province. With an altitude of 1,000 to 1,500 meters, the terrain is gently undulating and slightly tilted to the north. Among them, Xilingol and Ulanchab Plateau have higher terrain, while Hulunbeier, Uzhumqin and Juyanhai Basin have lower terrain, which is called "Tara" in Mongolian. The eastern part of the Inner Mongolia Plateau is grassland, which is an important livestock base in China; the western part has a dry climate and is characterized by dry grassland, desert grassland and desert. To the west, the desert area increases and the Gobi is widespread. Edit this section of the plateau climate Inner Mongolia Plateau climate is very dry, the distribution area of the desert to account for 37.8% of the total area of the national desert. Larger deserts include the Badanjilin Desert, the Tengger Desert, the Ulan Buh Desert and the Kubuqi Desert. The Yellow River flows through the central part of the Inner Mongolia Plateau, some places the river valley is tight, become a canyon; some places the river valley is wide and spreading, sediment accumulation into a fertile alluvial plain, which is the famous Hetao Plain. Since ancient times, the Hetao Plain has been known as the "South River on the Plateau", which is the result of the construction of channels by the working people here to divert the water of the Yellow River to irrigate the farmland. Edit this section of the plateau range of Inner Mongolia Plateau, also known as the northern plateau. Including all of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Gansu Province and the northern part of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region in the vast area, from the Daxing'anling Mountains and Sukshilu Mountains in the east, west to the Horsehair Mountains, the southern boundary of the Qilian foothills and the Great Wall, the northern border with Mongolia, and the border with Russia. East and West is about two thousand kilometers long, an area of about 1.3 million square kilometers, about 1,000 meters above sea level. Neither the snowy mountains of the Tibetan Plateau, nor the canyons on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau on the Inner Mongolia Plateau, its terrain undulation slightly gentle, is a can be thousands of miles of high plains, mainly by the east of the Hulunbeier Plateau, the west of the Alxa Plateau, south of the Ordos Plateau and other constituents of the Yinshan Mountains stretching across the middle, the mountains south of the Hetao Plain, the Hohhot Basin?Xilingol Grassland Real View
and other fractured plains and basins. In the north of the Yinshan Mountains, the surface of the open, low and gentle mountains, the distribution of wide and shallow depressions or basins, locally known as "Tara". Such a geomorphology provides favorable conditions for the formation of vast grasslands and the development of animal husbandry in Inner Mongolia. The Inner Mongolia Plateau is a disk-shaped plateau that descends to the north. It is highest at the edge of the plateau. This topography is favorable for aridification on the plateau. Winter plateau cold, the formation of Mongolia high pressure, natural no rain; summer plateau turned hot, become a low-pressure area, attracting the south wind blowing up, blocked in the edge of the mountains, intercepting most of the water vapor, so that the plateau becomes a rain shadow area. In addition to the edge of the mountains have glacial meltwater to form summer floods and winter dry rivers (such as weak water, Yimin River, etc.), is the border of the Yellow River. River on the plateau of the cut is not significant, to the wind blowing and soaring to provide the conditions, where the general wind speed of up to 9 meters per second, flying sand not only in the rocky ground dug grooves and valleys, but also can be piled up in a particular geographical area into sand dunes and sand hills. Therefore, in the grass was destroyed in the foot of the mountains and plateau in the middle, often forming bedrock outcrop gravel "Gobi"; in the western part of the quicksand accumulation can form a large area of "desert". Therefore, the Gobi and deserts are the prominent geomorphological features of the Inner Mongolia Plateau. The Inner Mongolia Plateau was formed by the continuous uplift of the earth's crust during the recent geological history. In?The beautiful Hulunbeier Basin
rising process, on the one hand, the entire landmass of the gentle argot, the formation of gentle hills and wide shallow basin; on the other hand, the eastern and southern part of the slightly upturned, warped to the highest place will be formed into a mountainous terrain. This is how the Daxingan Mountains, which are embedded in the eastern edge of the plateau, and the Yinshan Mountains, which are in the center of the plateau, were formed. Plateau surface has a wide shallow basin, such as the Hulunbeier Basin, Erlian Basin and Juyan Basin, etc., from the edge of the basin to the center, a few hundred kilometers away, the difference in elevation of only two to three hundred meters, in the type of topography is a pile - stripped high plains. Inner Mongolia Plateau is the largest natural pasture in China. The western part of the plateau has a dry climate, most of which is desert and Gobi, with sparse plants and scattered pastures, and a number of grassy beaches distributed in the lake basins among the sand dunes. From west to east, with the gradual increase in precipitation, pasture grass grows better and better. Hulunbeier and Xilingol Plateau, where the climate is more humid, the pasture grass is especially fertile, and the three rivers of horses, three rivers of cattle and Inner Mongolia sheep and other good livestock produced here are famous at home and abroad. Editorial Highland Landscapes The Inner Mongolia Plateau has a flat surface, mostly an endless wilderness.Inner Mongolia Plateau
Inner Mongolia Plateau general altitude of 1000 ~ 1200 meters, high in the south and low in the north, the north formed east-west lowlands, the lowest altitude down to about 600 meters, in the border between China and Mongolia along the intermittent connection of dry erosion of the residual hills, the relative height of about 100 meters. The plateau ground is open and complete, undulation and gentle, ancient stripping level is significant, sandy and widespread, ancient "Hanhai" said. Geologically, at the end of the paleozoic huarixi movement make Mongolia groove folds and rises, yanshan movement only occurs widely and gently flexure and fracture. Himalayan movement and the new tectonic movement so that the plateau is generally uplifted, and there is a large-scale basalt overflow, filling the lowlands to form a lava plateau, widely spread in the eastern part of the plateau, the plateau is terraced, the table surface slightly undulating.? The plateau is generally characterized by 5 levels of leveling, forming a stratified plateau. The Yanshan movement flexure subsidence area, the third system of lake-phase sedimentary layer accumulation is very thick, expanding the range of flat surface. Since the Cenozoic era, the climate, although there are alternating cold, warm, dry and wet, but are semi-arid and arid climate, the plateau surface division is slight, the past formation of stripping razor level most of the formation of a flat and more complete plateau. The Inner Mongolia Plateau Gobi,?Inner Mongolia Plateau desert scene
deserts, sands in order from northwest to southeast in a slightly arc-shaped distribution: the northwestern edge of the plateau for the gravelly Gobi, to the southeast for the sandy Gobi, the central and southeastern part of the plateau for the sand and sand. Fusha belt distributed in the northern foothills of the Yinshan Mountains and the western foothills of the Daxing'anling Mountains, in an arc intermittently connected; bright sand mainly Bayinggobi Desert, Hailis Desert, Baiyin Chagan Desert, Hunshandak Sandy, Wujumuqin Sandy, Hulunbeier Sandy and so on. Edit This section of the plateau resources refers to all of China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and Gansu Province, the northern part of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, Hebei Province, and the vast area of the western part of Northeast China. It is also known as the Northern Plateau. It extends from the Daxinganling Mountains in the east to the Horsehair Mountains in the west, along the Great Wall in the south and Mongolia in the north. It is about 2,000 kilometers long from east to west and 500 kilometers wide from north to south, with an area of more than 1 million square kilometers, making it the second largest plateau in China. The altitude is mostly in the range of 1000 to 1300 meters. The terrain slopes slightly from southwest to northeast, with gentle undulations and slight cuts, and the Yinshan Mountains cross the center. The south is the narrow Hetao Plain and Ordos Plateau; the north and east are Hulunbeier, Uzhumqin, Xilingol, Ulanqab and other plateaus; the west is the Alashan Plateau. On the plateau, there are many wide and shallow basins, such as Hulun, Elin and Juyan basins. Temperate semi-arid climate, dryness from east to west by 1.2 ~ 1.5 gradually increased to 4.0. vegetation soil conditions in the east for the meadow grassland dark chestnut calcium soil zone?Chestnut Calcium Soil

Plateau on the sunshine is sufficient, the total annual sunshine hours 2800 ~ 3200 hours; more windy, the number of days in 40 ~ 100 days / year, can generate electricity. The land is rich in resources, and the pasture grows well, which is the most important base for animal husbandry in China. The grassland is also rich in Chinese herbs? medicine, such as licorice, astragalus, scutellaria, red peony and ephedra. The high salt lakes on the plateau have resources such as salt, alkali and mannite. Mineral resources are abundant, with more than 70 kinds of coal, iron, niobium, rare earth minerals and so on. The Inner Mongolia Plateau in the narrow sense refers to the plateau within the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. It is deep inland, with a dry climate and extensive grasslands, deserts and Gobi. Wind and sand control, protection of grasslands, improvement of pastures, and rational grazing are the main tasks of rational utilization of resources and transformation of the natural environment in this region.?Small Dance 310?

Elevation: 1,000 to 2,000 meters; thin soil, still large areas of forestable barren mountains; high precipitation, suitable for the development of economic forests such as cedar, horsetail pine, oleander, oil tea, etc., and rich in mineral resources; total area: 300,000 square kilometers. [1] Edit this section of the scope of the region of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau is located in southwestern China, from the Hengduan Mountains in the west, neighboring the Sichuan Basin in the north, and east to the Xuefeng Mountains in Hunan Province. It includes the eastern part of Yunnan Province, the whole province of Guizhou, the northwestern part of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and the borders of Sichuan, Hubei and Hunan provinces, and is the intersection of two sets of mountain ranges in China that run north-south and north-east-south-west, with a high topography in the northwest and a low topography in the southeast, and with an elevation of 1,000-2,000 meters above sea level. The western part of the plateau is mainly in Yunnan Province, with mountains basically oriented in a north-south direction, such as the Dancang Mountains, the Wumeng Mountains and the Longshan Mountains, etc.; the eastern part is mainly in Guizhou Province, with mountains basically oriented in a northeasterly-southwesterly direction, such as the Dalou Mountains and the Wuling Mountains, etc. It is roughly bounded by the Wumeng Mountains. It is roughly divided into two parts, the Yunnan Plateau and the Guizhou Plateau, with the Wumeng Mountains as the boundary. The Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau in the west has an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, and the plateau topography is more obvious. The Guizhou Plateau to the east is more undulating, with more mountain ranges and little plateau surface remaining, known as the "Mountain Plateau", with an elevation of 1,000-1,500 meters. The Yunnan Plateau and the Guizhou Plateau are connected together with an unclear boundary, so they are collectively called the "Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau". The Yunnan Plateau is located in the eastern part of Yunnan Province, east of the Mourning Mountains, and is called the Yunnan Plateau because it is south of the Yunling Mountains. The surface of the plateau is well preserved. The tops of the mountains on the Yunnan Plateau tend to be wide and flat, or gently undulating, with the saying "the road is wide at the top of a high mountain". The mountains are very long, but they are not very long.
Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau
between the rolling hills, there are many lake basins and dams. Yunnan has more than 1,200 dams, accounting for one-third of the province's arable land, low-slung become basins, some of which accumulate water into lakes. Such as Kunming as the center of the plateau surface, the distribution of Dianchi and many other large and small lakes, known as "Dian interrupted the lake area". Around the lake basin due to the leakage of lake water and the surrounding mountains sand and mud siltation, most of the lakeshore plains have been developed. The soil here is fertile and deep, and is the main agricultural area of the plateau.[2] Edit [2] Edit this paragraph Climate Profile subtropical monsoon climate is dominant?Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau
The Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau is a subtropical humid zone, subtropical monsoon climate (Xishuangbanna region for the tropical monsoon climate), in the topography, although a plateau, due to the altitude, the atmospheric circulation conditions are different, the climate difference is significant. For example, Kunming, Yunnan is about 1,900 meters above sea level, but its latitude is low (25° north latitude), winter is generally not affected by the cold wave (the terrain is high, from the north of the cold flow can not enter), and often under the control of the southwest warm current, more sunny days, winter and spring is quite dry and warm; (but in the northern slopes of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, the stagnation of the cold current with the impact of the polar continental air masses, the formation of quasi-stationary fronts, resulting in continuous rainy weather, i.e., folk proverb) "The ground is not three feet flat, and the sky is not clear for three days.") The summer half of the year is mainly influenced by the southwest monsoon, with abundant precipitation and many rainy days, coupled with the high altitude, so the summer temperature is low, and the dry and wet seasons of the year are distinct. In latitude, altitude and atmospheric circulation under the combined influence of the three, the temperature seasonal changes are small, the plateau is like spring in all seasons, so Kunming has a "spring city" name. Kunming quasi-stationary fronts in Guizhou, generally at an altitude of about 1,000 meters, the winter half of the year is often affected by the cold air from the north, the cold air and warm air contact, the formation of climate on the famous "Kunming quasi-stationary fronts". Guizhou winter half year is often under the cover of stationary front, rainy weather, especially more, known as "the sky is not three sunny" said that the winter is colder; summer half year, by the southeast monsoon, precipitation is more, the temperature is higher. The impact on hydrology is due to the high rainfall, the river volume on the plateau is large, and many rivers cut the ground for a long time, forming many deep and steep canyons. Solar radiationThe total annual amount of solar radiation varies greatly in meridional distribution, with the west being larger than the east, the east being 3?400-3?800 MJ/m2 and the west being 5?000-6?000 MJ/m2.Because of its location on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, the high altitude, the large difference in heat, and the strong ultraviolet rays have brought unique natural conditions for the growth of crops, and the inhabitants of the Plateau bring material fulfillment, allowing people to continue on this land. EDITORIAL Characteristics of Climate Resources China's Yunnan-Guizhou region includes the provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou. The region is located at low latitude, high altitude, and subject to the comprehensive impact of monsoon climate constraints, forming a low-latitude plateau monsoon climate with a small temperature difference between the four seasons, a clear distinction between wet and dry, and significant vertical changes in climate resources. Climate resources are characterized by more. Vertical distribution of heat vertical distribution of heat vertical distribution differences are obvious, from the river valley to the top of the mountain, respectively, tropical, subtropical, temperate, frigid heat conditions. Regional distribution of heat resources in the south and north less, ≥ 10 ℃ of the cumulative temperature, Yuanjiang, Hekou area in the 8?000 ℃ or more, northwestern Yunnan, northeastern Yunnan, high-altitude areas in the 1?400 ℃ or less, Jinsha River hot and dry valleys of the southern subtropical "enclave", for 7?000 ~ 8?000 ℃. Heat resources within the year, the distribution of months is relatively uniform, warm in winter, summer without heat. [2]Wet and dry seasons are distinct The influence of the southwest monsoon creates a moisture resource characterized by dry winters and wet summers, and distinct wet and dry seasons. Warm and humid airflow in summer and half a year along the mountain valleys blowing inland, southwest Yunnan, south Yunnan border, the Nujiang River Valley, and part of the upper reaches of the South Beipanjiang River, Duliujiang River, the annual precipitation between 1500 ~ 1750 mm, the southwest slope of the GaoLiGong Mountain YingJiang reached more than 4000 mm, but Chuxiong, Dali is only 500 ~ 700 mm. April to October precipitation accounted for 85% of the total annual rainfall ～April to October precipitation accounts for 85% of the total precipitation of the year ~ 95%. The rainy season is often characterized by flash floods and floods. The dry season is long and seasonal drought, especially spring drought, is very serious. The eastern part of Guizhou is wetter in all seasons due to the influence of the southeast monsoon. Edit this paragraph Topography Introduction The Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau is distributed with extensive karst terrain, which is a karst topography. It is limestone in the high temperature and rainy conditions of complex chemical reactions, after a long period of time, dissolved by water and erosion and gradually formed. There are many caves, dark rivers, stone buds, stalagmites, peak forests and other rare and strange landforms distributed underground and on the surface. The Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau is one of the most perfectly developed and typical areas of karst landforms in the world. One of the greatest features of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau is the remarkable karst topography. The limestone on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau is thick and widely distributed, and through the dissolving and eroding action of surface and underground water, it forms such landforms as drop holes, funnels, round depressions, vadose streams, caverns, canyons, natural bridges, basins, and so on, which is one of the most developed and typical areas of karst landforms in the world. There is a layer of consolidated red soil (also called weathered crust) on the surface of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, indicating that the ground is a long weathered surface. When it is stripped away, limestone is exposed, forming a large area of rock buds. Lunan Stone Forest is the best developed piece of stone buds. Here, strange peaks stand, such as columns and towers, such as bamboo shoots and mushrooms, the high ones are more than 10 meters high, and the short ones are 5-10 meters. People can enjoy the wonders of more than 400,000 mu of stone forest from the view of Wangfeng Pavilion or Lion Pavilion.Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau Terraces
Between the rolling hills and mountains, there are many small basins. Inside the basins, the soil is deep and fertile, and it is a place where agriculture is more developed, and the villages and towns on the plateau are also concentrated here. These basins are known locally as "dams". Inside the dam, the ground is relatively flat and the soil is deep, so it is usually a place where agriculture is more developed, the population is more concentrated, and larger towns and cities are also located here. There are also many "fault lakes" on the plateau, formed by the fracture and subsidence of the earth's strata, such as the Dianchi Pond in the eastern part of Yunnan Province and the Erhai Sea in the central part of the country, which cover an area of 340 square kilometers and 250 square kilometers, respectively, and the famous cities of Kunming and Dali are located next to the two lakes, respectively. Editorial Ethnic areas within the territory of the population of more than one person are thirteen ethnic groups, including the Han, Yi, Tibetan, Qiang, Hui, Mongolian, Lisu, and Manchu. It is China's largest Yi settlement, the second most populous Tibetan settlement and the only Qiang settlement, with an ethnic minority population of about 5.7 million, accounting for 7% of the province's total population. The Yi is an industrious and courageous ethnic group with a long history, brilliant culture, large population and wide distribution. Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture is the main settlement area of the Yi in Sichuan Province, and **** there are 1.546 million Yi. Another 241,000 people are located in the suburbs of Panzhihua City and Miyi and Yanbian counties, in Mabian and Ebian counties of Leshan City, in Jiulong and Luding counties of Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, in Hanyuan and Baimian counties of Ya'an District, and in Pingshan, Gulin and Xuyong counties of Yibin District. The Yi in Sichuan call themselves "Nuosu". The Yi people living in Yunnan and Guizhou have many horns and other names.
