The main achievements of Mrs. She Xiang

First of all, when she Xiang was in power, she organized and led the people of all ethnic groups in Guizhou to dig mountains to clear the way and build postal routes, which linked the areas under the responsibility of Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan, Sichuan and Guangxi, incorporated the postal routes in China into the national postal network, and communicated with the four surrounding provinces in Guizhou.

Secondly, Mrs. She Xiang carried out effective reforms on the use and dissemination of Yi language. She liberated the Yi language from the mystery, broke the ice of traditional taboos, and made the Yi language appear on the carriers such as stones on a large scale. The use of Yi language has gradually expanded, from the traditional function of transmitting classics and recording history to daily life such as bookkeeping, contract, recording songs and letters. Its influence was not only within the jurisdiction of Xuanweisi in Guizhou at that time, but also radiated to the surrounding Yi areas, such as Wusha area (now Weining and Hezhang in Guizhou), Xuanweisi area in Yongning, Sichuan (now Gu Lin and Xuyong), Wumeng in Yunnan (now Zhaotong), Luanpan (now Dongchuan and Huize) and Medog (now Xuanwei and Xuyong).

Third, Mrs. She Xiang also set up Confucianism and professors in Guizhou. In order to learn and introduce Han culture, strengthen and promote cultural exchanges between Yi and Han, Mrs. She Xiang took the lead in sending her children to Beijing to enter imperial academy. Driven and influenced by Mrs. She Xiang, Tusi in Wusha, Wumeng, Mangbu and Yongning sent their children to Beijing to study.
