The famous copper hot pot is clearly from the north. You can occasionally hear common expressions in Nanjing dialect when talking to people who will be in charge. Among the ancestors of Huili people, there were Kublai Khan's descendants, Shanxi merchants and Huizhou merchants who came to Huili to do business, immigrants from Huguang to fill Sichuan, and soldiers brought by Zhu Yuanzhang's ministry from Nanjing. Because of the military settlement policy, many of them married local Yi girls and stayed here. In Huili, more than 20 ethnic groups live and work in peace and contentment, most of them are good at singing and dancing.
