This paper reviews the progresses made and the problems remaining in the past half century concerning the timing of the import of feicui into China proper, hence setting forth the necessity of the study about the folklores regarding this issue. 1784 is the year that was universally accepted by the western academics as the early age for import of feicui into China proper, but the itinerary recorded by the Ming scholar XU Xiake have undoubtedly extended the date to an even earlier time. The folklores concerning the timing of feicui's import were prevalent among the Sino-Burmese border region and have been told by both Yunnanese and Kachin people for several hundred years, their different versions were recorded in detail by both western and Chinese scholars. Although folklores cannot be generally accepted as scientific evidence, they contain lots of information about the studied issue,and they were analyzed in a scientific way. Finally, suggestions regarding further study about the project were also proposed.
