Yuanmou Man: About 6.5438+0.7 million years ago, people in primitive people lived on the land of China. Yuanmou man in Yunnan is the earliest ape-man ever discovered in the history of China. By the Neolithic age, people living near Dianchi Lake and Erhai Lake had been able to engage in primitive agricultural production with simple production tools such as stone axes. In some places, people will also build simple wooden houses and gradually form larger villages.
Zhuang fell into Yunnan: In the 3rd century BC, Zhuang fell through Qianzhong County to attack the southwest, and "learned from its king, changed its customs and adopted its laws", and established the state of Yunnan. Zhuang Qiu and others brought advanced culture and production technology into Yunnan, which promoted the development of Yunnan and marked the beginning of political contact between Yunnan and the mainland.
Wuchi Road, Qin Kai: In 22 1 BC, Qin Shihuang unified China, established a county in Yunnan, and opened the "Wuchi Road" from Yibin, Sichuan to Qujing, Yunnan. Because this road is only five feet wide, it is called "five-foot road". The opening of Wuchi Road connected Xianyang, the capital, with eastern Yunnan via Sichuan, and appointed officials to govern Yunnan, making it a part of the Qin Empire.
Hanwu opened Yunnan: In the second year of Yuanfeng in the Western Han Dynasty (BC 109), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Guo Chang, a general, to lead the Bashu army to Yunnan and set up Yizhou County, with 24 subordinate counties. The county is located in Dianchi County (now Jinning County), and Yunnan is one of them. The county is located in Xiangyun County today, "Yunnan Post". The Han Dynasty adjusted the counties, changed the situation that tribes coexisted and did not belong to the same family, and brought in some feudal relations of production. During this period, the use of bronze tools and the appearance of Niu Geng further improved the level of agricultural cultivation. Superb smelting technology has created splendid bronze culture, and the excavation of various bronzes shows the superb skills of folk artists. A large number of cattle, horses, sheep and goats, plus livestock, pigs and dogs, mark the development of animal husbandry in Yunnan. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also sent Tang Meng to expand "Wuchi Road" and renamed it "Southwest Yi Road". The Han Dynasty also organized manpower to excavate the Bonan Ancient Road, and frequent business contacts promoted international trade and cultural exchanges between the southwest of China and Southeast Asian countries, especially Myanmar and India. This is the famous Hanwu opening Yunnan in history. Zhuge Liang governs the south: During the Three Kingdoms period, parts of Yunnan, Qianxi and Southwest Sichuan were collectively called "South China". In 225 AD, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Han Dynasty, personally levied in Yunnan and led three armies. He adopted the policy of "not using force, but taking the heart". Entering Erhai Lake (Dali area) in western Yunnan, he quickly put down the rebellion launched by the slave owners and nobles in Yunnan, surrendered the local surname Meng Huo, and made Meng Huo "seven capture and seven vertical", so that Yu Huo surrendered completely and vowed not to rebel. Therefore, Zhuge Liang quickly pacified South China, and Yunnan became a part of Shu Han.
According to the code: in 3 17 AD, the Yi people proclaimed themselves emperor and established the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In the early years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Juanjuan, who moved from the mainland to Yunnan, became stronger and ruled Dianchi Lake independently. The Cuan people have ruled for more than 400 years, calling Dianchi Lake Kunchuan (or Kun30), which is similar to Sui and Tang Dynasties.
Unification of Six Imperial Letters: During the Zhenguan period in 738 AD, the Tang Dynasty supported the Mengshe Imperial Letters to unify the six imperial letters and established the Nanzhao Kingdom based on Erhai Lake. The main royal letter Pirog was named "King of Yunnan" and Nanzhao was named 13 King, ruling for more than 200 years.
Duan established Dali Kingdom: In 937, Duan Siping destroyed Nanzhao to establish Dali Kingdom. In117, the leader of Dali Kingdom was appointed as the "Yunnan Provincial Ambassador" in the Song Dynasty. The political center was in Erhai area, with Dali as its capital. It was handed down from the 22nd century and was ruled by * * * for 3/kloc. During the reign of Dali, Shanshan City (now Kunming) gradually became the most prosperous and ideal city in central Yunnan. In the meantime, the famous story of "Peacock Gallbladder" was left.
Yuan Dynasty crossed the purse: A.D. 1253, Kublai Khan led the army to conquer Yunnan and break Dali. 1267, the fifth son, Hu Gechi, was proclaimed king of Yunnan, and his son was killed in 127 1 year. 1274, Kublai Khan sent Sayyid Shams Din 'Umar to Yunnan. In 1276, the Yuan Dynasty officially established Yunnan as one of the provinces of China 1 1, and from then on, "Yunnan" was officially named as a provincial administrative region. The political center moved from Dali to Kunming. After Saidianchi arrived in Yunnan, he formulated taxes economically, developed production and built water conservancy projects. Politically, we should change the practice of cruel slaughter in the past and replace it with policies of good ethnic relations, education and political stability. The outstanding example is Dianchi Lake, which was once flooded. Saidianchi Lake recruits migrant workers, digs Haikou and dredges the Mantis River, so that Dianchi Lake water flows from Haikou to Jinsha River via the Mantis River.
