Duyun is the capital city of the Qiannan Buyei and Miao Autonomous Prefecture in Guizhou province, China. The area around the city was affected by the Miao rebellion of 1735 to 1736, and the city took part in the uprising from its early stages until it was forcefully repressed the following year. The Chinese name is Duyun in pinyin, with simplified and traditional character forms. Duyun therefore combines its role as the administrative centre of a Buyei and Miao autonomous prefecture with a history of regional rebellion.
