Chiefdom of Chuchen (Chinese: 促侵土司; pinyin: cù qīn tǔ sī) also known as Chiefdom of Greater Jinchuan (Chinese: 大金川土司; pinyin: dà jīn chuān tǔ sī), was an autonomous Tusi chiefdom ruled Greater Jinchuan (present day Jinchuan County) during Qing dynasty. The rulers of Chuchen used the royal title Namkha Gyalpo (Tibetan: ནམ་མཁའ་རྒྱལ་པོ, Wylie: nam mkhav rgyal po ).[1]

Chieftains of Chuchen had family relationship with chieftains of Tsanlha (Lesser Jinchuan). The first Chuchen chieftain was Slob Dpon, he was appointed by Qing China in 1723. Slob Dpon married a daughter to Tsewang, the chieftain of Tsanlha. Tsewang was cowardly. Slob Dpon deposed Tsewang and annexed Tsanlha in 1746; then, he invaded neighbouring chiefdoms. In 1747, Qing China launched the First Jinchuan campaign. Slob Dpon had to abdicated to his son Lang Kashi.[2]

The Second Jinchuan campaign broke out in 1771. Two years later, chief Sonom surrendered. The Chiefdom of Chuchen was abolished, Qing China started to rule this area directly.[3][4]
