The Yi peoples live in southwestern China in the regions of Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou. The Nuosu form the northern Yi group and live in the Liangshan Mountains (southwestern Sichuan).
The Chinese imperial regime referred to them as 玀玀 (Luóluó), which was adapted by Westerners into the form Lolo. The Chinese character was formed with the dog radical, 犭, representing a mark of contempt toward non-Chinese-speaking peoples. (Without this radical, it is written 羅羅 in Traditional Chinese and 罗罗 in Simplified Chinese in linguistic history studies.) The name was considered racist by the 20th century.
At the same time, the Chinese also used the term 夷 (yí), whose meaning is close to the term "barbarian" used in Ancient Greece to designate a non-Chinese person or a foreigner. It was also considered pejorative. Starting in the 1950s, the People's Republic of China established 56 nationalities (mínzú, 民族), the largest of which, the Han 汉, accounts for more than 90% of the Chinese population. Mao proposed using a prestigious homophone, 彝 (yí), which originally designated a ritual vessel used for ancestral offerings. In contemporary Chinese, 彝族 (yízú) refers exclusively to the Yi people (zú: people, ethnicity).
