Today we talk about the ancient Dian kingdom, the ancient Dian kingdom a while ago ghost blowing lights of Yunnan Chonggu on the Internet hit, he mainly talked about Hu Bayi, Wang Fatzi, and Sherry Yang went to The Gongshan Mountain in Yunnan To enter the tomb of the king of the ancient Dian Kingdom, looking for the adventure story of Mu Chenzhu, someone asked me, does the ancient Dian kingdom really exist in Chinese history? At what time did it exist? What kind of history and culture does it have?
Let's talk about the ancient Dian kingdom today, about the ancient Dian kingdom, the earliest record in writing comes from Sima Qian's historical records, a column of legends in the southwest, in the han wudi period, the southwest of these ethnic minority tribes collectively called the southwest Yi, these southwest Yi did not form a unified state power.
Southwest migration is composed of a large and small tribe of these southwest tribes, some of the production level is more advanced, they mainly rely on agricultural civilization, the family has grain, the heart is not panicked, so the small life is not bad, at least can solve the problem of food and clothing. The larger of these tribes was the approximate location of the Yelang Kingdom in present-day China, western Guizhou, eastern Yunnan, and northern Guangxi. Then there is Quanzhou, which is located in Xichang and Liangshan in Sichuan, as well as Chuxiong and Lijiang in Yunnan.
The last one is the ancient Dian Kingdom, which is located in the Kunming area of Yunnan in today's location, except for these large tribes, the rest are some backward tribes. Their mode of production is mainly based on animal husbandry and hunting, and they eat the last meal without eating, so the life is more difficult. In these southwestern Yi middle ancient Dian kingdoms its history is the most legendary. At that time, during the Warring States period, King Wei of Chu sent one of his generals named Zhuang Qiao, who led a large army from yuanshui south to seize most of the area west of Ba County and Qian Zhongjun.
At that time, during the Warring States period, king of Chu Wei had a general named Zhuang Qiao, and king Of Chu Wei ordered Zhuang Qiao to go south along the far water and seize a large area of land west of Ba County and Qianzhong County.
This Zhuangqiao is really not in vain, with a large army is a fight all the way, for the Chu kingdom to open up territory and expand the territory, and finally hit the Yunnan Kunming Dianchi Lake nearby, this Zhuangqiao really has the means, he pressed these natives to the ground to rub, and finally these natives were all dried up, kneeling on the ground to call Daddy, this makes Zhuangqiao very cool, these natives will provide this Zhuangqiao as a father, and then the cool days are enough, after a while this Zhuangqiao is homesick, so he packs up a little local specialties and prepares to go home to see the leader to see the old woman, But what Zhuang Qiao did not expect happened, the army of the Qin State occupied the Eighth Army and Qian Zhongjun, which blocked Zhuang Qiao's way home.
This Zhuangqiao was not a big problem of fighting ethnic minorities, but against Great Qin's iron horse, his heart was really bottomless, he touched Great Qin's army, his liver was also poor, so there was no way, he retreated to the Dianchi area. In order to gain the support of the local natives, Zhuangqiao also obeyed the customs and costumes of the local natives. His soldiers also married and had children with local sisters, the local production and culture are very backward, this Zhuangqiao is also a descendant of the king of Chuzhuang, so the eldest brother does not do two and does not build a country, this country is the Country of Dian.
Zhuang Qiao became the first king of the State of Dian, from the perspective of tracing back to the source, the ancient State of Dian was a branch of the State of Chu, and later when the State of Qin destroyed the 6 Kingdoms, Qin Shi Huang sent an emissary Chang'e to this place, opened the Five Foot Road, and set up counties in the southwest region, and since then the ancient State of Dian has become the territory of Great Qin.
But the Qin Dynasty II died, the Han Dynasty inherited the mantle of the Qin Dynasty, but the Great Han Dynasty did not look at this land at the beginning, and the big county and Shu County became the border between the Great Han Dynasty and the Southwest Yi, and such a day passed until the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, who was a famous land demon, and he was also coveting this land.
In the 6th year of Jianyuan, Emperor Wu of han sent Poyang County to order Tang Meng to send an envoy to the State of Nanyue, and on the way to the State of Nanyue it passed through the State of Yelang, and since then the State of Nanyue and the State of Yelang have become vassal states of the Great Han Dynasty.
However, these vassal states were also disobedient to the Great Han, and 8 were not angry, because they did not have a quasi-spectrum in their hearts, they did not know the strength of the Great Han, and Emperor Wudi of Han also wanted to clean up these tribes, but the road to these places was really not easy to walk, it was really eighteen bends in the mountain road, and there was flatulence everywhere, which was really not suitable for large corps combat. So Emperor Wu of Han endured this breath.
Later, in 122 BC, Zhang Qian went on a mission to the Western Regions, Zhang Qian saw the cloth of Shu County, as well as the bamboo sticks of Qiongdu in the Kingdom of Great Xia, the bamboo sticks were indeed exquisitely made, he learned that the bamboo sticks were not all made, but the deep reading state on the edge of qiongdu, the deep reading state had a road that could lead to the building, and later the road of the Great Han Dynasty and the building was blocked by the Xiongnu, so Emperor Wu of Han sent someone to find the deep reading country.
Well, from the deep reading country into the mansion, with the western region to establish contact, together to deal with the Xiongnu, but these dead did not find the Shen reading country, but to the ancient Dian country, they saw the customs and customs of the ancient Dian country, and then these envoys persuaded the king of the Dian kingdom to be a vassal of the Great Han, the King of Dian also had his own careful thoughts, because he did not know how big the Han was, he asked the emissary, who is stronger in the Han Dynasty and our Dian Kingdom?
The king of the Night Lang Kingdom also asked this question, and the envoy of the Great Han was directly encircled, so he told the King of the Kingdom of Dian in 1510, but the king of the Kingdom of Dian did not want to be a vassal, the King of Dian himself had tens of thousands of horses, and there were two large tribes next to him, one called Remember, one called Confusion, and these two countries could rely on each other to deal with the Great Han. Emperor Wu of Han was not accustomed to it, and directly destroyed these two countries. At this time, the king of the Dian Kingdom directly agreed, and then knelt on the ground to declare his subjection to the Great Han and handed over the Xiangshu Shun watch.
Emperor Wu of Han set the Kingdom of Dian as Yizhou County, but Emperor Wu of Han still gave it to the King of the Kingdom of Dian, just like the King of the Kingdom of Yelang, who still governed your deficiencies.
Later, when emperor Zhao of Han came, often during the period of Emperor Guangwu of Han, the pleasant people of Yizhou County rebelled many times, the central government did not have a crown disease, it was a severe beating to press this gang of goods to the ground, those rebellious kings were all killed, and finally these Yi people, especially the State of Dian, their people were getting fewer and fewer, and they were all integrated into China, and later they slowly disappeared into Chinese history, and there was no record of the ancient State of Dian in the literature after that.
