The name of an ethnic minority official in Tibet.

Tusi, also known as Tuguan and Sheik is an ancient Chinese frontier official position, which was first set up in the Yuan Dynasty.

It was used to grant awards to the heads of ethnic minority tribes in the northwest and southwest regions.

Toji has a broad and narrow sense. In the broader sense, it refers to both the independent and legally permissible government offices of the indigenous people of the minority areas within their sphere of influence, as well as to the native officials who "have their own land, manage their own people, control their own soldiers, inherit their own positions, rule their own places, enter their own streams and receive their own fiefs".

Toji in the narrow sense refers exclusively to those who "have their own land, control their own people, control their own soldiers, inherit their own position, rule their own place, enter their own stream, and receive their own fief".

Burma is connected to western Yunnan Province by mountains and rivers. During the past 600 years, there have been great changes in the Sino-Burmese boundaries. There were several wars between the feudal dynasties of the two countries, which brought disasters to the people of the two countries, but continuous friendly exchanges were the mainstream, and the traditional friendship between the two peoples continued to develop.

In the mid-13th century, Burma was ruled by the Bagan dynasty. The capital was the city of Bagan in present-day central Burma, and its territory had not yet reached the areas inhabited by the Kachin and Shan ethnic groups in the upper reaches of the Irrawaddy River and the Salween River.

At this time, China was in the midst of Kublai's establishment of the great unification of the Yuan Dynasty feudal empire. The boundaries of the Yunnan Province of the Yuan Dynasty basically followed those of the "Dali" era, with a number of roads and prefectures set up in the areas inhabited by the Kachin and Shan in the upper reaches of the Ayeyarwaddy River and the Salween River under the jurisdiction of the local local native officials. The conflict between the King of Bagan and the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty became more and more intense.

In 1271 and 1273, Kublai Lie twice sent envoys to Burma, Bagan King Narathiwat Hobo detained the Yuan Dynasty's second envoys to Burma, the Yuan-Burma conflict intensified. 1277, the Bagan King opposes the Golden Tooth (today's Dehong) governor A Wo to submit to the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, raised troops to attack. The Burmese army gathered soldiers "40,000 to 50,000, eight hundred elephants, 10,000 horses", attacked the dry cliffs (present-day Yingjiang), Nandian (present-day Lianghe), and the Golden Tooth soldiers and the Yuan Dynasty garrison in fierce battles.
