Taiwha (太華) temple was constructed officially at west Kunming (昆明), Yunnan(雲南) in Yuan dynasty (A.D. 1306) and had a profound connection with the Empire. Into the Ming dynasty, Mu's (沐氏) family civilized the local people by the religious power of the stated temple, and the temple therefore inherited the ample financial support and political resource. In 1455 A.D., Taiwha temple began to worship Mu ancestors to intensify the political connection and to ensure the official support. The unusual relationship between Taiwha temple and Mu's family was reconsidered and debated during Chenglong (乾隆) period, Ching dynasty. Finally, the government made the decision; Mu's ancestors were then continuously worshiped by Taiwha temple. The judgment revealed the irreplaceable and unchangeable impact of Mu's family on Yunnan district.
