Long time ago, there was a story told about a lost army. During the Three Kingdom period(A.D. 222¨D280), the famous military counselor-Kongming, led his army to fight; one branch of the army enthralled in sleeping on the way, and was left behind. Though the branch caught up at last, it would not be accepted. In order to keep them living, Kongming donated seeds of tea towards them and urged them to plant, he also taught them to build houses according to the shape of his cap. Although, the story could not tell the history, it surely told the ancient Jino was closely to the Hanzu nationality. Jino, a particular minority nationality, lives at Jino Village, Xishuangbanna Area, in Yunnan Province.
