Tujia School Education Flourishes in Ming and Qing Dynasties in Hubei.
Regular school education for the Tujia ethnic group in the west of Hubei province was lacking for a long time. However, during the Ming and Qing dynasties, the central government's stronger influence and the Tusi system led to a rapid development of school education for the Tujia people in that region. This development significantly contributed to the progress of society and culture in Tujia ethnic group areas.
