Chiefdom of Tsanlha (Tibetan: བཙན་ལྷ་, Wylie: btsan lha; Chinese: 贊拉土司; pinyin: Zànlā Tǔsī), also known as Chiefdom of Lesser Jinchuan (Chinese: 小金川土司; pinyin: Xiǎo Jīnchuān Tǔsī; Tibetan: གསོའུ་ཀྱིན་ཆྭན་གཡེན་ཧྭ་ཐོའུ་སི), was an autonomous Gyalrong chiefdom that ruled Lesser Jinchuan (present day Xiaojin County, Sichuan) during Qing dynasty. The rulers of Tsanlha used the royal title Tsanlha Gyalpo (Tibetan: བཙན་ལྷ་རྒྱལ་པོ, Wylie: btsan lha rgyal po).[1]
The chieftains of Tsanla were descendants of a Bon lama. He established the chiefdom in the end of the Ming dynasty. By the time of the Ming-Qing transition, he swore allegiance to Qing emperor, and was appointed Native Chieftain (Tusi).[2][3]
Later, Tsanla came into conflict with Chiefdom of Chuchen (Greater Jinchuan). After Jinchuan campaigns, it was annexed by the Qing dynasty.[2][4]
