Abstract
The Tusi System is a system in which certain feudal dynasties are in a unified territory, that is, mainly inhabited by ethnic minorities in the south, and adopted a system different from that of the Han area. In the implementation of the Tusi System of the Yi people, the central government vigorously promoted the “educationalization” and “culture and education” policies, and promoted the Confucian culture to the Yi people through separate Confucian education. At the same time, the social structure and culture of the Yi people are conducive to the spread of Confucianism. The spread of Confucianism and the recognition of Confucianism by the Yi people are an important guarantee for the Tusi System and a prerequisite for the stability of the Yi region during the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.
