Description

Asia. Manuscript in the Lolo language from Sichuan province in China (near Mapien). [2] blank ff., [10] ff. handwritten in black ink, [14] blank ff. on fine paper, [1] f. black paper cover, all rolled up and placed in a tube case with a small crescent of brocaded silk with green and pink ribbons. Size of unrolled leaves: 50 x 22.5 cm. The Yi are an ethnic group from China. Their ancient name, Lolo or Luóluǒ (倮倮, luóluǒ, "stripped"), is now considered pejorative in China, but is still used officially in Vietnam (Lô Lô) and Thailand (Lolo, โล-โล), where it does not have this meaning in the local language. Numbering 7.8 million in 20002, they represent the sixth largest ethnic group of the 56 officially identified by the People's Republic of China. They live mainly in rural areas of Sichuan, Yunnan (notably Xian autonomous Yi d'Eshan), Guizhou and Guangxi, usually in mountainous regions. The Yi speak a Tibeto-Burman language, Yi, of which there are many varieties, and which they write using the Yi syllabary. The names Lolo, Lolopu, etc. are linked to the veneration of tigers among the Yi; in their dialects, the word "lo" means "tiger". "Lo" is also the basis of the Chinese name for the group, Luóluó (猓猓, 倮倮, or 罗罗). The Yi are descendants of the ancient Qiang people of western China, believed to be the ancestors of today's Tibetan, Naxi and Qiang peoples. They migrated from south-eastern Tibet to Sichuan and Yunnan province, where the majority of their population now resides. In the 15th century, a small part of the Lolo ethnic group settled in the Tonkin region (present-day Vietnam). Today, there are two sub-groups in Vietnam: the Flower Lolos living in the districts of Méo Vac and Dong Van (Ha Giang province) and the Black Lolos living in the district of Bao Lac (Cao Bang province). In 1726, under the Qing dynasty, the Manchu officer Ortai attempted to abolish the tusi system as part of his policy of governance reform. In 1730, in one of his reports to Emperor Yongzheng, he pointed out that the people were loyal to native officers, but not to Chinese authority. Over 30,000 Yi were slaughtered in the small town of Mitie. In Wumeng, Dongchuan and Zhenxiong, ethnic minorities and Chinese migrants were killed by 20,000 soldiers led by Ortai. A large number of Yi then escaped to the Liangshan mountains in Sichuan (source Wikipedia.)
