Tongren (simplified Chinese: 铜仁; traditional Chinese: 銅どう仁ひとし; pinyin: Tóngrén) is a prefecture-level city in eastern Guizhou province, People's Republic of China, located within a tobacco planting and crop agricultural area. Tongren was known as Tongren Prefecture (铜仁地区ちく) until November 2011, when it was converted into a prefecture-level city.^[2]

History

During the Yongle period (1403–1424) of the Ming dynasty (1368–1644), two local governments known as "Sizhou Xuanweisi" (思おもえ州しゅう宣せん慰司)and "Sinan Xuanweisi" (思おもえ南みなみ宣せん慰司) resisted full subjugation. Yongle Emperor sent troops to pacify the rebellion and set up a provincial administrative region known as "Guizhou Buzhengshisi" (贵州布ぬの政せい使し司し).^[3] Since then, their administrators were appointed by the central government.^[3]
