Yongren and Huaping lie on the south bank of the Jinsha opposite the Song's Dadu side, in Yi (Wuman) hill country that the realm record counts as claimed, not held.
The road from Yaozhou to the Jinsha ferries and to Huili runs through it. Dali's Huichuan fu at Huili is on the South China map's ground; the Qiongbu Man chiefs lie north of the Jinsha (the Sichuan records). No chief is named in any source we read. The ethnic names are modern groupings; the Tang Manshu and the Yuan texts use other names (Wuman, Baiman, Pu, Wang, Moxie, Mang) and the match is the scholars', not proved for 1200.
The sources for these hills are Tang and Yuan notices, Chinese Wikipedia pages on the counties and ethnography of much later centuries; none is dated to 1199 or 1200.
