In the remote southwestern borderlands of China Once there was an ancient kingdom named Dian. over one thousand five hundred characters in total Records of the Grand Historian: The Biographies of the Southern and Western Regions Sima Qian actually used six hundred characters. To record the ancient Dian Kingdom Describe how it plows the field with extraordinary skill. Fertile for thousands of square miles But strangely, Shortly after Sima Qian recorded it in his historical texts The ancient Dian Kingdom gradually faded from sight. Mysterious Ancient Dian Kingdom Where exactly is it located? When did it originate? How did it create a segment? Civilizations that leave future generations in awe Today's archaeologists and historians Still working to unveil its层层 mysterious veil and continuously seeking Yunnan Province Name of the South of Colors It's Takashima's Pearl Bay. Dianchi Bay Who was the first to use the name Dian? To describe this Greater Bay Area We may never know But just like other local Bay Area residents Dianchi Bay The largest bay area in North and South China Long-term扮演 of the role of human civilization Actually Modern Religious Inventions Show ancient humans I have lived around Dianchi Bay Thousands of years ago Therefore, in the religious era 越来越多的人聚集在这里. An early ethnic group of the ancient Dian people gradually formed. common people In general It has long been believed What do you mean? Yunnan is a barren land. Vast and boundless land But from our current perspective Especially in recent years, new archaeological findings It can be seen. It reveals a highly developed one. Civilized state or the developmental stage of bronze culture However, the origin and fate of this ancient ethnic group Still shrouded in mystery Actually Research on ancient civilizations Still未能掌握其寫下的記錄 Even unable to clearly define its clues Moreover, how much more so Historical data Just mentioning Some famous figures from this country Therefore Ancient Dian people Since when has the inheritance of Dianchi Bay begun? Historical data cannot explain it. But Scientists are determined to explore the physical evidence. Continue the new excavation To the east of Dianchi Bay, three kilometers away There is a humorous and peaceful village called Gucheng. This is unlike other villages in Yunnan. People live in simplicity and harmony But one fact incriminates it Abalone from Dianchi Bay Discovered in the northern part of the village Dianchi Bay has always been full of Dianchi abalone. As for the locals, these abalones Has never attracted much attention 2019 In support of the development program Yunnan Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Religion Conducted a serious exploration These two religions are the ones being explored. A new light emerged in Gucheng Village. What they discovered It is Yunnan's traditional period. The best-preserved abalone tomb Traditional graves on the ground There are many abalones hidden here. Close-up inspection A common characteristic has been discovered. On the back of each abalone No matter which one you pick at random There are traces of having been struck like this. It was the people at that time who ate after being fed. The blood that flows out forms clots. The large site of the Qiu ruins A journey through Gucheng Village Discovered a seemingly endless ground cemetery But this is a distinctive tomb. 90,000 square meters Equivalent to 13 standard football fields All were covered with abalone. But underground Even more astonishing Abalone and the cross-layering of abalone A thickness of 6.5 meters This massive layer of abalone How is it formed? That's what people ate back then—the screw shell. After eating Then throw it away. Keep eating continuously Keep throwing endlessly Long-standing exhaustion This location formed a layer over 6 meters thick Species as large as a hill People currently residing around Dianchi Lake And even going into Dianchi Lake to fish for screws such a habit of using it We might also put it in plain terms. Live off the land you rely on. Live by the sea, eat from the sea. Such a way of life What is actually reflected behind it is Humans adapt to their environment. Actually, this is a issue concerning the relationship between humans and the land. The ancient Dian people of that time As their food source, abalone Began residing on the land of Dianchi Village Abalone-layered screw shell Can you find the answer? In one sense Screw-threaded shell Like a history book Inheriting the lifestyle of the ancient Dian people Each screw level They all conform to a certain historical period. Contains a lot of information Awaiting the religious explanation In reality All the evidence proves it. Ancient Dian people Around Dianchi Lake Just as in the last century We can see This location, the 7th to 8th floor Its shell is particularly large. Explanation of our ancestors When I was living here just now The production of screws here It is very rich. Then, starting from the sixth floor onwards The screw has also become smaller. This is a characteristic of the site. We have done quite a bit more This era dating method of visitation-style When measuring the age of the seventh and eighth layers Three thousand six hundred years ago They all belong to the Shang Dynasty period. At night Delicious food They are all on the streets of Kunming. This place is often referred to as The village of River Snake Architecture It's because the people here Still used a certain technology For the people of Dian, this It should be very familiar. Strengthen the wall of the Snake Snake Building In addition to enhancing Structural integrity of buildings Snake snake's snake snake Helped control the temperature Keeping the house warm in winter Warmth in summer White snake snake's snake snake Fixed to the yellow wall Created a warm harmony Connecting the land and the lake Present and past The Snake Tomb in Guchang Village A tombstone six hundred meters long This is the Xiang and Zhou period. The most elaborate tombstone architecture Known in Yunnan Province as The position where I'm standing is the trench. The width is between 1.5 meters and 2 meters. It continuously extends around this side. It is a complete circular trench. It is over 600 meters long. Outside the moat is a dike. As for this dam, The outside is the surface of Dianchi Lake. On this dam There might have been construction at that time as well. Higher wooden structure or a dam A defensive wall Strangely, I feel Every Snake and Every Snake's Grave All acknowledged the origin of a civilization. The gathering and separation of sand and stones The development and disappearance of plants and trees All have proven the ancient Dan people. They live on the surface of the water. If we go back to The classical period over 2,000 years ago Around this embankment pond One tribe at a time A crowd, one by one They are all inside these snail mountains. Catch pigs, fish, shrimp, and snails I smoked a cigarette tonight. Cook this snail thoroughly. Please, everyone, come here. Enjoy this snail with great joy and delight. It should be a very warm and cozy scene. Such a harmonious scene I'll go to the market then. It's time to go plow the fields. It's time to let the livestock out to graze. A wonderful life What a harmonious scene this is. In one sense The location of Guying Village Like a miniature universe Provided new materials Study of the origins of classical culture After years of research Over a hundred snail tombs Distributed around Dichi Lake Fuxing Lake Xingyun Lake and Qilu Lake Lake They have all been proven Obviously From the perspective of a classical scholar Life revolves around these lakes. Classical Kingdom Later, it was recorded in historical books. It also begins here According to the records of the great historian During the war period King of Chu Sent a man named Zhuang Qiao Lead an army to the west Arrive at Dichi Lake When the Qin army's camp Blocked the road to Qilu Lake Zhuang Qiao referred to himself as The king there Since the 1950s of the last century Archaeologists at the shores of Dianchi Lake Shizhai Mountain, Lijia Mountain Tianzi Temple, Yang Gutou, etc. Continuously unearthed Tens of thousands of ancient national cultural relics Among them, there are more than 15,000 bronze artifacts.
