The Shidian Changsha Office was originally built during the Yuan Dynasty, with the current structure reconstructed in the Qing Dynasty. It is divided into upper and lower courtyards. The upper courtyard was originally the living quarters but was later converted into a Buddhist temple, featuring structures such as the mountain gate, corridor hall, and Mahavira Hall. The lower courtyard served as the administrative office, including a corridor hall, wing rooms, and the main hall. During the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, the Shidian Changsha governed a vast area west of Kajie in Changning County and across Shidian County, making it one of the important native chieftain regimes under the Yongchang Prefecture at the time. The tomb of Asulu, the deputy head of the Changsha Office during the Ming Dynasty, is located on the eastern slope of the office site.

Tomb of Asulu
The Tomb of Asulu was built in the second year of the Yongle era of the Ming Dynasty (1404 AD). Asulu, also known as Agan, was the son of A Lüya, the Pacification Commissioner of the Jinchi Office during the Yuan Dynasty. In the 17th year of the Hongwu era of the Ming Dynasty (1384 AD), when the Ming army pacified Yunnan, Asulu, then serving as the Deputy Qianhu of Yongchang, went to the capital to present local tributes and was appointed as the Deputy Head of the Shidian Changsha. During his tenure, he performed his duties diligently and achieved notable results. He passed away in 1404 AD and was granted a burial at his post. His son, Along, was permitted to succeed him, and the position was inherited by his descendants in succession.
