Analysis:

Hongmiao is a branch of Miao nationality, and the change of Hongmiao refers to the Ganjia Uprising of Miao nationality in Guizhou, Hunan during the Qianlong period.

As early as the Qianlong and Jiaqing years of the Qing Dynasty, Miao people in western Hunan and northeastern Guizhou, under the leadership of Shi Shi, Wu Banfu and Wu August, launched a large-scale anti-Qing uprising on 1795, calling for "expelling the guests (referring to Manchu and Han landlords and officials) to return to their hometowns" and proposing that "poor brothers follow me, but big officials do not follow". The Qing court quickly mobilized the troops of Yunnan-Guizhou, Guangdong-Guangxi, Hunan-Hubei and Sichuan provinces led by Fu Kang 'an, the governor of Yunnan-Guizhou, to suppress them. Later, the rebels echoed with the rebels in An Baili, which made the Qing army attend to one thing and lose sight of another. The uprising lasted until the 12th year of Jiaqing (1807), lasting 12 years.

After the Opium War, in the same year in Xi 'an, the Miao uprising led by Zhang Xiumei broke out in southeast Guizhou and other places. In just a few months, insurgents from all walks of life almost captured the whole southeast Guizhou. They cooperated with the "religious army" and the "first army" with the Han nationality as the main part, and closely linked with the peasant insurgents of Dong, Shui, Buyi and Yao nationalities to fight together. Later, he got in touch with the troops of Shi Dakai of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which directly or indirectly attacked the rule of the Qing Dynasty. The uprising lasted 18 years (1855-1873), which was the longest and most influential struggle in Miao history. The hymns of the Miao people to commemorate the outstanding leader Zhang Xiumei in this movement have been handed down to this day.

The Miao Uprising in Guizhou led by Zhang Xiumei is closely related to the People's Uprising of all ethnic groups in Yunnan led by Du Wenxiu and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Revolution. When the Taiping revolution flourished, the Qing rulers mainly suppressed the Taiping revolution first, but could not send troops south to suppress the uprisings in Guizhou and Yunnan. After the Taiping revolution was brutally suppressed, the reactionary rulers immediately dispatched troops and turned to suppress the Yunnan-Guizhou uprising. So is the relationship between Guizhou and Yunnan rebels. Shortly after the suppression of the Miao uprising in Guizhou, the Dali regime was brutally suppressed by the rulers.
