Chieftain, also known as Tusi, was tribal leader recognized as imperial officials by the governments of Yuan (1271-1368), Ming (1368-1644), and Qing (1644-1912) dynasties. The arrangement is generally known as the Native Chieftain System.

The State Administration of Cultural Heritage has confirmed that Yongshun chieftain city relics in Central 皇冠体育app's Hunan province, Tangya chieftain city relics in Central 皇冠体育app's Hubei province and Hailongtun chieftain city relics in Southwest 皇冠体育app's Guizhou province will jointly represent Chinese chieftain heritage to apply for the world cultural heritage in 2015.
