Nong Zhigao rebellion erupts in Song south
1043
A Zhuang chieftain in what is now Guangxi raised a rebellion against Song authority, capturing the regional capital of Yongzhou and briefly threatening Guangzhou. The uprising, fueled by resentment of Han Chinese commercial dominance in the southern frontier, took over a year to suppress and revealed the fragility of Song control over its ethnically diverse southern provinces.
