The land of ancient Yunnan - Yunnan
More than 2,000 years ago, there was an ancient kingdom along the Dianchi Lake, which Sima Qian called in the "Historical Records".
"Yunnan". However, not long after Sima Qian entered her into the classics, the Dian Kingdom disappeared, there was no trace, no legend, no one knew where its subjects went, like an eternal mystery, and no one mentioned this splendor in the ancient history of Yunnan.
However, it once reached its peak artistic achievement, and even after more than two thousand years, it has never been revived.
In the second year of the Yuanfeng of the Western Han Dynasty of the ancient Dian Kingdom (109 BC), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came to the Dian Kingdom, and the King of Dian surrendered the whole country, and invited the officials to enter the court.
So Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave the seal of the king of Dian and made him regain his people (this seal of the king of Dian made of pure gold was unearthed in Shizhai Mountain two thousand years later).
After that, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up Yizhou County in Yunnan, and the rights of the King of Dian were replaced by the county guards, and from then on they were subject to the county system of the Han Dynasty.
Sima Qian has a crucial record of this history. Around 339 BC, the state of Chu wanted to expand its sphere of influence to the southwest, and sent the Chu general Zhuang into Yunnan.
Soon, the Qin State destroyed the Ba State and the Shu State, and Zhuang Ji lost contact with the Chu State itself.
"With its kings and clouds, change and obey its customs to grow." This is a generation of Dian kings clearly recorded in historical materials, and it is impossible to verify whether there was a Dian king before him.
However, in the years before Zhuang entered Yunnan, the bronze culture of the Yunnan people had entered its heyday. Archaeologist Professor Li Kunsheng said that aside from the factors of artistic achievement, the Chu culture at this time should be more advanced than the Yunnan culture, at least, the Chu people wore shoes, and the Dian people played barefoot, but the Dian tomb does not seem to have left much trace of the Chu culture he brought into Yunnan, and some scholars question this record.
Around the 1st century BC, this isolated kingdom finally came to an end. A king of Dian, who dominated Dianchi Lake, asked a serious question to the envoy of the Han Dynasty.
He asked: Who is bigger between the Han Dynasty and me? In his eyes, the world will not be much larger than the territory of the Dian Kingdom.
However, it was not long before the beloved King of Dian and his paradise disappeared from history.
The world was far bigger and more complex than he could have imagined. In the second year of the Yuanfeng of the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came to the Dian Kingdom, and the King of Dian surrendered the whole country, and invited the officials to enter the court.
So Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave the King of Dian this pure gold cast Dian King seal, which was unearthed in Shizhai Mountain two thousand years later.
After that, the migration of the Han people brought the inland culture into Yunnan on a large scale, and in just 100 years, the culture of the Yunnan people underwent drastic changes, and by the first century AD, the glorious bronze culture of Yunnan was completely integrated into the iron culture.
Time has passed, the traces of ancient Dian have long disappeared, and the bronze culture and many unknown mysteries left behind have also disappeared in the long river of time, and now it is in the position of the original ancient Yunnan, called Yunnan, Yunnan is
"South of the Clouds"
"Colorful Yunnan", another saying is because it is located
"South of Yunling". It is adjacent to Sichuan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Tibet, Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam.
The uniqueness of the region, the richness of the physical appearance, and the longevity of the humanities have made this beautiful land and magical land.
From ancient times to the present, there are many strange things that have been handed down on this plateau, Gu poison, insects, lichs, ghosts, etc., many tourists come to see the scenery and beautiful scenery, but they don't know how many unknown secrets are hidden behind this beauty.
