At the beginning of the 10th century, Nima, a descendant of the Tubo royal family, fled to Xiangxiong to avoid the slave uprising army, occupied its territory, and became a vassal of the Tubo royal family branch, so it was renamed Ali (meaning vassal). The ancient Chinese transliteration of Xiangxiong is Yangtong or Yangtong, while the modern transliteration is Xiangxiong, which is closer to the Tibetan pronunciation. Xiangxiong is indeed the source of Bon culture. Xiangxiong was a great country on the ancient Qinghai Tibet Plateau and the birthplace of Bon religion in Yongzhong. According to Chinese historical records such as "Tongdian", "Cefu Yuangui", "Tang Huiyao", etc., "Dayang is connected to Tubo to the east, Xiaoyangtong to the west, and Yutian to the north, covering a distance of over a thousand miles from east to west, surpassing 80000 to 90000."
