Why don't Yunnan Yi people have Yi names?

First of all, we should understand that the unified national concept of the Yi people only existed after the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC). In the past, it was derogatory to call the Yi people in Yunnan Luoluo. At present, when I work in Dali, I often hear Dali people call the Yi people in the following Yi Autonomous County Luo Luo contemptuously. Therefore, the Yi people are actually the product of ethnic integration after the founding of the People's Republic of China, rather than the natural evolution of history.

Fine slaves ROM, the founder of Nanzhao political power, is generally regarded as the Yi nationality. Therefore, the Weibaoshan Earth Temple, dedicated to the Nanzhao kings, is regarded as an ancestral temple by the Yi people. At present, the Yi people hold ancestor worship activities every year in the world to increase the national identity of the Yi people, and
