Kuei-chou
Language: English
Part of speech: name
Pronunciation: kwāʹchouʹ
gwāʹjōʹ
Etymology: From the Wade–Giles romanization Kuei⁴-chou¹ of Mandarin 貴州 /贵州 (Guìzhōu).
Senses: examples: text: On the eastern mountain slopes of Nga-ba there is a meadow called Nga-ba tsi-mä gko, east of the trail leading to the hamlets of Nga-tz inhabited by Na-khi as well as Miao-tzu 苗子. The latter are immigrants from Kuei-chou.
ref: 1947, Joseph F. Rock, The Ancient Na-khi Kingdom of Southwest China, volume 1, Harvard University Press, page 222:
text: In addition, he was banished to Lung-chʻang in modern Kuei-chou, which was then inhabited by the barbarian Miao tribes, to become an insignificant executive in a dispatch station, whose duty it was to provide horses for rapid transportation. He started the journey in the spring of 1507 and arrived a year later, stopping over on the way to visit his father. Liu's agents pursued him and he escaped assassination only by throwing his clothing away by the Chʻien-tʻang River near Hangchow, thus suggesting suicide. Some accounts, to make the event more dramatic, have him escape by sea from Hangchow to Fukien and thence to Kuei-chou. More reliable chronicles, however, have recorded his trip overland from Hangchow to Kuei-chou. In Kuei-chou he taught the Miao aboriginals to build houses and live in them.
