在湘西绵延八百多年的土司统治时代,曾经出现过一位声誉卓著的女土司——白氏夫人。从明嘉靖三十九年至隆庆六年(1560～1672),在管抚保靖州的12年里,白氏夫人推行仁政,体恤民生,训导幼孙,保固地方。她以女性特有的睿智与仁爱,为湘西漫长的土司史增添了一道亮丽的风景。 During the eight years and a half of the chieftain’s rule in western Hunan, there was a reputable female chieftain, Mrs. White. From Ming Jiajing thirty-nine years to Longqing six years (1560 ~ 1672), in the 12 years of the governor’s care and maintenance of Jingzhou, Mrs. White implemented benevolent government, sympathizing with the people’s livelihood, training youngsters and securing places. Her unique wisdom and benevolence add a beautiful landscape to the long history of Western Hunan.
