Yunnan Commandery
Yunnan Commandery (雲南郡) was an administrative commandery established by the state of Shu Han in 225 CE following the pacification of the Nanzhong region by Zhuge Liang. Located in what is now western Yunnan Province, it remained a commandery through the Western Jin and Southern dynasties until it was abolished by the Sui dynasty in 589 CE. Establishment Yunnan Commandery was created in the aftermath of Zhuge Liang’s 225 CE southern expedition, which aimed to suppress rebellions by local tribal leaders such as Yong Kai and reassert Shu control over the southwest. As part of the post-campaign reorganization, the western and southern counties of Jianning Commandery were separated to form Yunnan Commandery.Chen Shou.

Cuanman
Cuanman () was an ethnic group in northern Yunnan, China. They came into power after assisting Zhuge Liang's Southern Campaign and dominated Yunnan during the Northern and Southern dynasties period. They were defeated by the Sui dynasty in 602 and split into the Baiman and Wuman, allegedly the ancestors of modern-day Bai people and Yi people.

In contemporary Chinese historical records, the polity was called "Xicuan guo" (Western Cuan State). The Cuan sent tribute to Northern Zhou and the Sui dynasty.
