Achang ethnic group is integrated with many ethnic groups in the process of development and formation. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, mainland businessmen had entered Achang nationality in Yunlong area. In the Ming dynasty, Yunnan soldiers and civilians settled in the fields, and a large number of Han Chinese moved in. Some Achang ethnic groups are integrated into the Han nationality and other ethnic groups, and some Han ethnic groups are integrated into Achang ethnic groups. For example, the descendants of the Ming army defenders were mostly transformed into Achang and other ethnic groups in the local area. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Achang ethnic group has kept close contact with Han, Bai, Dai and other ethnic groups for a long time, and there are many integrations.
