han chinese male soldiers who fought against the miao rebellions during the qing and ming dynasties were known to have married with non-han women such as the miao because han women were less desirable. the wang clan, founded among the hmong in gongxian county of sichuan's yibin district, is one such clan and can trace its origins to several such marriages around the time of the ming dynasty suppression of the ah rebels. nicholas tapp wrote that, according to "the story of the ha kings" in the village, one such han ancestor was wang wu. it is also noted that the wang typically sided with the chinese, being what tapp calls "cooked" as opposed to the "raw" peoples who rebelled against the chinese.
