Lincang is the main basin south of Yongchang across the Lancang, in a country of Tai valley farmers ringed by Wa and Pu hill villages.
No Dali-period source we read names a lord or a fu here; it falls between the Nanzhao commands of Yongchang and Yinsheng. The name Lincang for the town is later. The Lincang chiefs record writes the people; this point marks the basin.
