People's understanding of the history of Guizhou seems to stem from the misreading of the two idioms of "night lang arrogance" and "poor donkey skills". In fact, Guizhou is also one of the important birthplaces of ancient Chinese civilization, with a long history and a long history of culture. In the long geological age has experienced complex paleogeography and paleoenvironment changes, Guizhou this hot land left paleovertebrate fossils "Guizhou dragon", Jurassic era dinosaur fossils and other paleontological fossils, in Guizhou's ancient sites, Paleolithic cultural sites are the most precious, of which, "Guanyin River culture" of the Guanyin Cave Paleolithic site and "Tongzi people", "Water City people", "Xingyi people" and other human fossils, can be said to occupy an indispensable and important position in the history of Chinese archaeology.

First, "night lang arrogance" is not arrogance
The idiom of "night lang arrogance" is to describe those who are shallow in knowledge and arrogant. The name Yelang first appeared around the Time of the Warring States period, when King Xiang of Chu (298 BC – 262 BC) sent "general Zhuang Yueshui to sink out of the waters and out of The City of Fuquan, Guizhou) to cut down the Night Lang King", "and Lan Iske, And Night Lang also descended". (Chang Qiong's "Huayang Guozhi NanzhongZhi") At this time, people knew that there was a night lang kingdom in the southwest. Most of Guizhou belongs to the "Ancient Night Lang Kingdom". "Night Lang arrogance" has also become the world's impression of Guizhou, in essence, this is a great misunderstanding of Guizhou.
Night Lang Valley
The Chronicle of the Southwest Yi Lie is the earliest record of "Yelang's arrogance", which records: "The King of Dian and the envoys of Han said: 'Han and I are great?'" And the same goes for The Night Lang Hou. Since the Tao is not clear, each thinks that he is the lord of a state, but he does not know the vastness of Han."
In the third year of Yuan Shuo (126 BC), the Han Dynasty set up Yelang County in the Yelang area, which is now the Anshun area of Guizhou. In 122 BC, Emperor Wu of han sent Wang Ranyu and Lü Yue to send envoys to the southwestern Dian kingdom and Yelang. The King of Dian did not know much about the Han Dynasty, so he asked the emissary: "Which Han is greater than me?" Han made a dumb. When it came to the Night Lang's mission, the Night Lang King also asked the same question, and the Han Envoy laughed.
Night King's Day
The story recorded in the Chronicle of History involves two locations, one is the Dian Kingdom located on the bank of Dianchi Lake, and the other is the Night Lang located at the throat of Qian. The State of Dian and the State of Yelang belong to the regime established by the ethnic minorities in the southwest, and the period of existence of the State of Dian is equivalent to the Warring States and the Qin and Han Dynasties, and its main inhabitants are a branch of the ancient Chinese Yue ethnic group, which historians call the Dian. The period of Yelang's existence was roughly from the Spring and Autumn Warring States to the Qin and Han Dynasties, and in the late Warring States period until the Western Han Dynasty, Yelang was the strongest local separatist regime in the southwest region.
Ancient Dian culture in Jinning County
Those who can become kings are wise, and it is reasonable that such a thought should not appear. This explanation is made in the "Chronicle of History": The tao does not work. The southwest region is a typical plateau mountainous area, with high mountains and deep valleys, steep roads, little communication between the southwest and the Central Plains, and not much understanding, it is difficult to perceive the vastness of Han; secondly, the first question is "Han and I are big" is actually the King of Dian, and the Night King is only "the same". Objectively speaking, subject to the ancient geographical environment and less understanding of the outside world, does this show that the ancestors of Southwest Yunnan and Guizhou were arrogant and arrogant? So much so that many people in the world still hold such prejudices, which is actually a misunderstanding of historical cognition.
Second, "poor donkey skills" is not a donkey
The donkeys in "Poor Donkey Skills" are not native to Guizhou. This idiom story is a fable created by Liu Zongyuan, the original text is: "There is no donkey, and there are good deeds that are carried by the ship." Then there is no use, put it down the mountain. The tiger saw it, and the behemoth also thought it was a god, and it peeked into the forest. A little closer, should be the same, do not know. On his day, the donkey roared, and the tiger was terrified and far away; he thought that he had devoured himself, and he was very afraid. However, when they look at each other, the party has no special ability; they learn from it, and they are close to the front and back, and they finally dare not fight. A little closer, yi fox, swing rushing. The donkey is angry, hooves. Tiger Inxi, Ji Zhizhi said: "Stop this ear!" For he jumped and shouted, cut off his throat, and did his flesh, but went.
This language story tells: In Guizhou a long time ago, there was no such creature as a donkey. A good man brought the donkey in by boat, but it was of no use when the donkey came, so he herded the donkey to the foot of the mountain. This is a tiger who saw the donkey and thought that the donkey was sacred, so he hid in the forest and quietly observed, and then quietly touched out, carefully approaching the donkey, not knowing what the donkey had. When the donkey found the tiger, he screamed in fright, and the tiger was also shocked and avoided, thinking that the donkey was going to eat himself, and the tiger was very frightened. However, after repeated observation, the tiger found that the donkey had no skills, and the tiger itself became more and more familiar with the donkey's call. Later, the tiger began to walk to the front and back of the donkey, turning around, but still did not dare to attack the donkey. Slowly, the tiger became more and more arrogant, constantly offending the donkey, and the donkey was very angry and kicked the tiger with his feet. Tiger thought to himself: Your ability is no more than that. So he flew into the air and pounced on the donkey, bit off the donkey's neck, ate the donkey's flesh, and then left satisfied.
The idiom describing the inferior skills of the villains and the inability to get out of difficult situations comes from the Great Tang Dynasty poet Liu Zongyuan's "Three Precepts - The Donkey of Qian", which is intended to warn people not to bluff and dance their teeth and claws if they do not have any real talent and practical learning. Life is good and good, but it can sometimes be cruel and ruthless. One day, the false diorama will be debunked by the relentless life. No matter how gorgeous and majestic the mask is, it is only a mask after all, not its true face. And once the mask slips off, it will expose the original face of dry and ugly, and at that time it will truly understand whether it is life or oneself who tastes the bitter fruit.
Whether it is "night lang arrogance" or "poor donkey skills", it has its own meaning, although it is related to Guizhou, but its original intention is not to describe Guizhou people or things, but more is the truth revealed by its meaning, with the use of partiality, excessive paranoia, and eventually laugh generously.
Pay attention to the sheep. Take you through the charm of geography.
