Introduction to the mysterious ancient Yelang country Where is the ancient Yelang country today?
Yelang Ancient Country (a big tribe in Southwest Yi in Han Dynasty)
A big tribe in Southwest Yi in Han Dynasty. Or Nanyi. The region is roughly Guizhou, western Hunan and northwestern Guangxi. During the Qin and early Han dynasties, Yelang had entered a settled agricultural society. The land is rainy, there are few livestock and no sericulture, and it has economic ties with Pakistan, Shu, Chu and South Vietnam. Local products such as gouache in Sichuan are often transported to South Vietnam by Yelang.
the history of yelang kingdom started from the warring States period and lasted for about 3 years from the time when the western Han dynasty became emperor in peace.
After that, the ancient Yelang Kingdom mysteriously disappeared. This ancient civilization has left a fog in historical records. The archaeological excavation of Hezhang Coke's "Southwest Yi" tombs has opened a brilliant corner for the mysterious Yelang culture. Chinese culture is a complex of multiculturalism. When the Han culture rose in the Central Plains, multi-ethnic cultures appeared in the border areas, and "Southwest Yi" was one of them. After a comprehensive study of historical records and archaeological achievements, Yelang country has become an indisputable historical fact in Guizhou, but where is the capital of Yelang country? Further archaeological excavations are needed. The excavation of the tombs of "Southwest Yi" in Kele provides an important basis for exploring the ancient Yelang ethnic group and regional culture. In order to expand the region, Yelang Wang successively established cities in Yunnan, Sichuan, Guizhou and other regions. Because Yelang Wang lived in these cities for a short time, it became the reason for future generations to compete for the ancient Yelang country. ? Guizhou's Zhangkejiang River is praised by Chinese and foreign experts as "the hometown of Yelang's capital city", and the ancient town of Langdai in Mucheng is praised as "the former palace of Yelang's capital city". Many scholars believe that it is the first city of Yelang's country. The original name of Laowang Mountain in Zhangkejiang District is Langshan Mountain, which is named after the crescent-shaped moon cave on the cliff where the Yelang Laowang and Princess are buried.
