It is here in this secluded Kinal tribes, which formerly had part of China that we find abori- been spread all over China, but were gradually driven back by the more industrious and stronger Chinese element.
This was the case with the

They hail been populating parts of middle and eastern Chin up to the second century before Christ, when they were driven out of these districts and took refuge in the highlands of the west. Here they lived more or less pencefully under their various kings and rulers until in the middle, of the 13th century with the invasion of China by Kublai Khan, the Chin- ese took possession also of Yun- nan, shifting the Miaos to still more innecossible places in the mountainous districts.
