Qi Wannian
Qi Wannian (died 299), or Qiwannian, was an ethnic Di chieftain and rebel leader during the Western Jin dynasty of China. In 296, he became leader of a tribal uprising against Jin in Qinzhou and Yongzhou that lasted until 299. The rebellion raised concerns among some ministers regarding the tension between the Han and tribal people while also triggering a mass migration of refugees into present-day southern Gansu and Sichuan. Prelude During the late Han dynasty and Cao Wei period, many tribal ethnic groups migrated and settled in the Guanzhong region. However, various factors have led these groups to revolt during the Western Jin dynasty. In 270, the Xianbei chieftain, Tufa Shujineng, led a rebellion in Liangzhou, Yongzhou and Qinzhou involving numerous different tribes against Jin, but he was eventually defeated in 279.

Its existence spanned both the Sixteen Kingdoms and Northern and Southern dynasties periods, but it is not listed among one of these regimes in historiography. History At the beginning of the 3rd century CE Yang Teng (楊騰), chieftain of the White Neck Di (白項氐), had occupied the southeast area of modern Gansu province, at the upper course of the Han River. His followers Yang Ju (楊駒) and Yang Qianwan (楊千萬) paid tribute to the emperors of the Cao-Wei Dynasty and were rewarded with the title of prince (wáng 王).''抱朴子, part 內篇, section 仙藥'' Yang Feilong (楊飛龍) shifted the center of the Chouchi realm back to Lüeyang, where his successor Yang Maosou (楊茂捜) reigned as an independent king at the beginning of the 4th century.
