, founder of the Sanmiao. The Sanmiao Kingdom was established by
Chiyou's descendants in
Southern China, near
Zishui River, where the
Hunan Province is located nowadays. Their territory was composed of the upper
Yangtze River, from the
Han and
Huai Rivers down to
Poyang and
Dongting Lakes. This is considered the second
Hmong Kingdom, arising after the fall of the
Jiuli Kingdom in the
Battle of Zhuolu in about 2,500 BC. Chiyou himself and Min Miao are considered the founders of the kingdom. It was composed of three distinct groups that were led by three different rulers. Three Sanmiao rulers were Zhu Rong, Gong Gong and Huan Dou. When Shun came to the throne, he sent
Yu the Great destroying it once for all. Yu slaughtered the ones that resisted his rule, which were the majority of the Sanmiao. The survivors migrated to the upper and lower valleys of the Yangtze River, stablishing themselves west of Lake Dongting, in the state of Wushi. Two other groups moved to where nowadays are
Anhui and
Jiangxi. Their population diminished to almost extinction, and there were no historical records about their presence for the next 1,000 years. No other Hmong kingdom was ever established. ==See also==
