When it comes to the night lang country, I believe that the first thing that comes to mind is the idiom "night lang arrogance".
According to the literature, during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, because the emperor of Yelang asked the Han envoys, "Who is bigger between the Han Dynasty and Yelang?" "And perish.
Sima Qian's "History of Southwest Yi Lie" records that the Southwest YiJun is counted in numbers, and the night lang ZUI is large;
So the Night King had a reason to be proud of the crowd.
When King Yelang decided to submit to Emperor Wu of Han and learn the rules that should be observed in Chang'an, the Han army still swept away the small southwestern states in one fell swoop, and the Yelang kingdom was only under the authority of the Han Dynasty emperor, and extended until 27 BC.
For the night king at that time, "Who is bigger between the Han Dynasty and the night lang", whether it was out of arrogance or unintentional words, it was also impossible to verify, who could understand the intention of the night king at that time?
The history of the Yelang Kingdom, roughly from the Warring States, to the Western Han Dynasty Inton emperor and peace years, about 300 years before and after, in the Qin and Han Dynasties, among the many feudal states in the southwest region, the Yelang Kingdom has a large area of ZUI, a large population of ZUI, and a strong power, and there are records of the Yelang Kingdom, the Household 109419, and the mouth 489486 in the Book of Han And Geography, but the Yelang Kingdom quickly disappeared after experiencing dazzling splendor.
The discovery of the Yelangguo ruins was in 1958, a farmer in The Cola NationalIty Township of Hezhang County excavated the first batch of Yelangguo cultural relics when planting land, and since then the archaeological department has carried out 9 excavations, excavated a total of 396 ancient tombs, and unearthed more than 2,000 cultural relics, of which nearly 50 are national first-class cultural relics alone.
ZUI's influence is the archaeological excavations in 2000, which covered more than 3.5 square kilometers and excavated more than 80 tombs, including tombs from different periods stacked together.
A large number of cultural relics appeared in the Warring States, Western Han And Eastern Han Dynasties, and a large number of cultural relics such as agricultural tools, daily necessities, combat weapons, ornaments, farming portrait bricks, and Legongtu portrait bricks reflected the unique Yelang national culture from the Warring States to the Qin and Han dynasties, as well as the characteristics of the integration of Han culture and Yelang national culture in the Qin and Han dynasties.
According to the "Chronicle of History", the characteristics of Yelang are "ploughing the fields and gathering", which has been concretely confirmed in archaeological excavations.
In Weining, Guizhou, the carbonized rice accumulation layer found in The Great River Bay of Zhongshui and the rice remains in the tomb of Hezhang Cola are all direct evidence, and in the tomb of Xingyi Han, the model of pond pond and rice field, as well as the remains of cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs excavated from Pu'an Tonggu Mountain and Weining Zhongshui, and the pottery pigs, pottery sheep and pottery roosters excavated from the tombs of the Han Dynasty in Qianxi Han, all of which show that "ploughing the field" is indeed a thing.
And in Pu'an Tonggu Mountain and Bijie Qingchang found house ruins, in the Hezhang Cola tomb excavated dry column architectural model, as well as a variety of pottery supplies and pottery spinning wheels, derrick models, these are the products of settlement, of which, in Weining Zhongshui excavated pottery on a variety of carved symbols, experts and Xi'an Banpo village excavation of pottery patterns for comparison, this is the embryonic form of the text, although no one has yet understood its pronunciation and meaning, but it shows that the Yelang script is in the embryonic period, and, Today, some ethnic minorities in Guizhou still preserve and use ancient scripts, such as Yi and Shuishu, whether this is related to these carved symbols or a mystery for eternity.
In the Coke site in Hezhang County, Guizhou also found a large number of Warring States to Western Han Dynasty earth pit tombs, the density of the cemetery is very large, in about 300 square meters of place found 81 tombs, and the burial chamber is very peculiar, is the copper kettle or iron kettle on the head and feet of the deceased, or put the kettle at the feet of the deceased, called "head burial", the cemetery also found two cases of copper wash covered on the face of the burial method.
Such a funeral, not only in China, but also in the world, has not been found, what kind of consciousness it originates from, whether it is a symbol of wealth, a show of status, or a reaction to religious belief.
According to research, the copper drum commonly used by the southern peoples is now evolved from the copper axe, the copper axe may have been used for cooking at first, and later became a musical instrument, a sacrificial instrument and a ceremonial instrument, the shape of the copper drum, the face is flat and hollow, the waist is contracted, the drum wall is thin and patterned, the percussion is sonorous, and the casting technology has not been fully revealed.
The study of the night lang culture has been carried out for decades, but there is still no major breakthrough, so some scholars boldly speculate that the night lang country may be an illusory world, a castle in the air, or, the night lang culture, ZUI is characterized by no characteristics, as far as the current research status of the night lang country is concerned, the night lang country does have four mysteries.
One of the mysteries, the territory of Gu Yelang, where is the central area? This issue is a large and controversial topic among scholars on ZUI.
It is generally believed that as a country it should have its own scope of rule and have political, economic, and cultural centers, but there are currently more than 10 kinds of such centers, and in Guizhou Province alone, there are Anshun, Tongzi, Liuzhi, Wangmo, Huishui, Changshun, and Sandu, and these places all believe that Gu Yelang's center is within their administrative divisions today, and Xuanwei, Guangxi, and Hunan in Yunnan also believe that in their own regions, the center theories put forward by various parties have a certain basis, and they can even find out the academic treatises of the specialty.
Mystery two, what is the main ethnic group of Yelang? Who is the ruling nation of The Night Lang, or the people with a large population of ZUI? There are four main views on this issue, the Miao, the Yi, the Buyi, and the Mulao, and the four nationalities have also set up their own ethnic societies, and in order to strive for their own nationality to be the ancestors of Guizhou, they have extensively sought verification.
Mystery no. 3, what is the social nature of Night Lang? According to the different understandings and evaluations of the economic development of Yelang and the understanding of the nature of Yelang society, it can be roughly summarized into four views: one is the early stage of slave society, the second is the late stage of primitive society, the third is the early stage of feudal society, and the fourth is the dual economic system, that is, the political and economic factors of feudal society, which have had a greater impact on Yelang, and gradually changed the social state at that time, and are in a transitional stage.
Mystery four, how long the Yelang kingdom existed, the academic definition of the time of the yelang is very different, due to the events of the demise of the yelang kingdom, there are clear records in the history books, so a more common view is that the yelang kingdom existed for about 300 years, but when it was built, where its upper limit is, still has not been unified understanding.
Because the relevant literature and the records of the Yelang Kingdom are very few words, and there are differences between them, the study of the Yelang can only gradually get closer to the truth and cannot be restored, can not be accurately presented, perhaps, this is the charm of history.
