  General Description   The Hmong are an agricultural people who have inhabited southern China for about 2000 years. [1] Made up of several distinct cultures, they are also known as the Miao, an insulting term that loosely translates to ’barbarians’ or ’bumpkins’. [2] The Qing Dynasty was marked by a series of Hmong uprisings, first in western Hunan from 1795 to 1806 CE, and then in Guizhou from 1854 to 1872. [1]
Population and political organization
Throughout most of Hmong history, Chinese governmental control was imposed indirectly through native headmen known as tusi, who were responsible for keeping the peace, tax collection and organizing corvée labour. [1] During the Republican period, the Chinese government attempted to assimilate the Hmong as much as possible and heavily discouraged displays of Hmong ethnicity. [1]
In 1954, the population of the Hmong was estimated at 150,000. [3] Secure population estimates for earlier periods are lacking but the Hmong may have numbered around 200,000 during the Qing Dynasty.
