The Legend of Zumo Abo

Yancang was once the political and cultural center of the Usa regime. "Yancangfujia" refers to the ruler Usa's family whose government is located in Yancang. A long, long time ago, the 24th grandson of Mukeke, the fifth branch of the Sixth Ancestor of the Yi people, the "Bu" (Bi) tribe, Moqieosuo, led his people to migrate eastward from Yunnan to Guizhou. After walking for a long time, they rested under a pine tree when they were tired. This place was Weining. In Yi language, it is called "Shuoheng", which means "under the pine tree", and it is still used today. After Mezioso settled in Weining, later generations named the place after him in memory of him. The Chinese transliteration of "Mozhe Ersuo" includes "Wuxu, Wusha, Wushu", etc., All of which are homophonic to "Esuo". From the early Eastern Han Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty, the Usa regime, whose sphere of influence covered present-day Weining and Hezhang, existed for more than 1,200 years. "Yuanluo Geography" records: "Wusa is also a barbarian. The old name is Bafan Wu Gu, and today it is called Bade Dian. It governs six tribes including Wusa and Wumeng. Later, the descendants of Wuman took over all their lands. Because they took the name of their distant ancestor Wusha as the tribe, they were attached to the tribe in the 10th year of the Yuan Dynasty. In the 13th year of the Yuan Dynasty, Wusalu was established." However, the Uzza family, as a nomadic tribe, did not stop migrating eastward. In Abozumo's generation, Yancang was finally the destination of migration. He led his people to take root here and start a business with great efforts. After several generations of hard work, his descendants gradually became the largest "kings" in the local area.
