Features: I have always had a unique affection for this southern Yunnan city: After the reform of land and flow in the early years of the Yongzheng reign, the first Confucian scholar of the Lijiang Military and Civil Administration, Wan Xianyan, was a Jinshi from Shiping. He served for nearly 20 years and made significant contributions to the cultural and educational development of Lijiang. Additionally, I was then commissioned by the provincial "Fifteenth Five-Year Plan" social science project "The Protection and Development of Historical and Cultural Cities in Yunnan," and as a Naxi descendant, I have always felt a sense of gratitude toward Shiping for its nurturing.
