In the east of the old public security bureau in Huize County, there is an alley less than 2 meters wide, which can directly walk from Yicang Street to Zhong Ping Street. Locals call this alley "Mang Street", and the original site of Myanmar Guild Hall is in the southern section of this alley.
Huize called the Myanmar Guild Hall "Mangzi Temple" and the street where Burmese people live called "Mangzi Street". Calling Burmese a "mang person" should start from the Qing-Myanmar War in Qianlong period.
In the 17th year of Qing Qianlong (A.D. 1752), the Mang Family of Dongyu Dynasty, the most prosperous feudal dynasty in Myanmar history, was replaced by Wengya Dynasty. The influence of Wengya is getting stronger and stronger, expanding outward constantly, and openly challenging China's sovereignty. From the early winter of the 30 th year of Qianlong (1765) to the end of the 34 th year of Qianlong (1769), China and Myanmar fought a war for more than four years, known in history as the "War of Recruiting Myanmar", which was one of the "peerless martial arts" advertised by Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty.
Professor Zou Jianda from the School of Communication of Yunnan Normal University said in the article "Research on the Establishment of Yunnan Foreign Chieftain" during the Qianlong Period that the battlefield of this war was mainly in the Myanmar-controlled area outside the Jiulong River. During the war, some chieftains in this area joined the Qing Dynasty one after another, and were accepted and knighted by the Qing government, which called them "chieftains outside Yunnan". According to Donghua Record, in November of the thirty-second year of Qianlong (1767), the Qing court accepted the request of Mubangtou People's Line Urn Regiment to surrender, and the title of Xuanwei Department of Ming Dynasty was awarded to the Line Urn Regiment. After Mubang and other chieftains surrendered, they "shaved their hair and left their pigtails, and sent troops to the mainland people and China for protection." According to records, the Mubang Tusi's urn regiment led subordinate households, followed the generals of the Qing army, Mingrui and Fu Heng, and helped the Qing army attack the Burmese soldiers, making repeated military exploits.
In November of the thirty-fourth year of Qianlong (1769), the Sino-Burmese war ended, the original war zone was returned to Myanmar, and most of the "chieftains outside Yunnan" returned to the mainland with the Qing army. According to the records of the Qing Dynasty, there was a deputy general, A Gui, who claimed to be an enemy with the Burmese under the banner of "Mubang Tusi Line Urn Group and Manmu Tusi Rui Group" and came back here for fear of being killed, pleading for resettlement in the mainland. It is planned to plant in Yongchang, Hua Meng and Dali. I'm afraid his family is small. Building a house in abel tamata. "The court approved the resettlement plan.
According to the Records of Dongchuan Prefecture, Fu Heng invited the imperial court to settle 140 men and women in Yangbi, and then moved to Dali Prefecture. In the forty-third year of Qianlong (1778), Li Shiyao, governor of Yunnan and Guizhou Province, played "Move to Huize area of Dongchuan Prefecture, measure the houses in the fields, and make them live beside the fields, and cultivate themselves for food." Later, because "the toast is not familiar with farming in the mainland, please put it in Dongchuan Fucheng, and the countryside is easier to guard against." According to the records of Qing Dynasty, there were "more than 250 immigrants, such as wired urns" in the year of Qianlong Guimao (1783). At this time, it was only five years since the Burmese arrived in Huize, and the number increased by 1 10. 1785, Huize, Myanmar, "The new student Dingkou merged with Li Jia, trying to find food nearby and live in peace with the Han people." In the first year of Jiaqing, Tu Shu, the magistrate, said that "the Tusi family didn't know the manners and did everything possible to make trouble" and asked for "returning to Mubang", which was not approved. Tongzhi for five years (1866), the minister in charge of Yunnan Province, Cen Pingding, led the army across Dongchuan. Burmese seized the opportunity to ask Cen Yu Ying to make a decision and successfully occupied the land allocated to them but swallowed by local tenants.
At the end of Qianlong, the Burmese who moved to Huize built a "Mangzi Temple" in Yicang Street, Huize County. "Mangzi Temple covers a small area, about 50 meters long and 20 meters wide." Burmese believe in Hinayana Buddhism. As a hometown hall for Burmese immigrants in Huize, Manzi Temple is dedicated to the Burmese god-a small bronze Buddha statue. Burmese people worship the gods with many bodhisattvas, small size and golden body. Huize people also have a two-part allegorical saying, "Mangzi Temple Bodhisattva-(Jin) refined villain". There is a swearing word in Huize dialect called "born a fool", which refers to a person who has a short speech but a hot temper and is ready to fight. From this point of view, the original "mangzi" and Huize people did not get along well. The social psychology reflected by this dialect and the "not knowing etiquette and making things difficult in every way" recorded in Fuzhi are mutually confirmed.
In the fifty-fourth year of Qianlong (1789), the urn regiment died, and his nephew attacked the chieftain position in five squares, followed by Song, Rong, Wei Ting and Fu Endai. Toastmasters in Dongchuan recorded the "foreign toast" of the six generations of Burmese in Huize, which lasted for more than 100 years.
The old man living in Mang Street now says that all Burmese people here are surnamed "Xing". Where they went later is not recorded in Huize local historical materials, but only recorded in the sixth year of Guangxu (1880). It seems to have disappeared overnight, and the result is nothing more than two things: either returning to Myanmar or being transferred to other places by the government.
Among halls, temples and ancestral halls all over the country, halls built by immigrants due to war are rare. The "Mangzi Street" in Huize County and the once-existing Myanmar Guild Hall are of great historical value for studying the historical facts of Tusi's planting in the overseas mainland in the Qing Dynasty.
