It can also be interpreted as: the west of Yelang.
Yelang is the source of Yelang's arrogant idiom.
So let me introduce something more:
One of the larger tribes in Southwest Yi in Han Dynasty, the ancient name of South Korea, or Nanyi, is the birthplace of ancient Koreans. The original place of residence is western Guizhou, northern Guizhou, northeastern Yunnan and parts of southern Sichuan. 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.
at the beginning of the western Han dynasty, most of the bamboo kings rose in Chishui (now Beipanjiang, Guizhou) and stood on their own feet. In the sixth year of Jianyuan (the first 135 years), Emperor Wudi sent Tang Meng to Yelang to woo Duo Tong, and in the fourth to fifth years of Yuanguang (the first 131 to the first 13 years), he set up several counties in his place, and he was a southern captain. Han's management of southwest yi began from then on. In the sixth year of Yuanguang, Han set up a post station in southwest Yi area to facilitate transportation. In the same year, Sima Xiangru, etc. In the fifth year of Yuan Ding (the first 112 years), Emperor Wudi marched to South Vietnam, but because Yelang and others refused to listen to his orders, he sent troops to pacify most of the southwest barbarians in the following year, and set up more than ten counties in his land, including Zhangke County (which governs today's GUANLING territory in Guizhou) and Yelang, and at the same time temporarily stored the name of Yelang State, awarded Yelang King with a royal title, and all the tribal chiefs were also conferred titles. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Yelang Wang Xing, Yu Wang of Hook Town and Hou Yu of Louwo fought for years. In the second year of Heping (the first 27 years), Chen Li, the prefect of Zhangke, killed Yelang Wang Xing, and Yelang Kingdom was destroyed. Yelang founded the country for three or four hundred years. There are different opinions about the clan of the people who built Yelang Kingdom, including the ancestors of Yi, Miao, Gelao and Buyi. The Yi people's lineage, a classic in Guizhou ancient Yi language handed down from generation to generation, records that "Yi people are born with children, and most of them are brought up together", "Most of them have the same authority, and most of them are the same heavenly palace masters", and "ancestors become mangosteen, and mangosteen is their ancestors". Legend has it that Duotong is also called Jin Zhugong, which shows that the Yi people regard Duotong as their ancestors. It is also reported that there are more than 4 carved symbols on Han Dynasty pottery unearthed in Weining County, of which 28 are generally considered to be ancient Yi languages. Sure enough, the ancestors of the Yi people lived in the western part of Guizhou in the Han Dynasty and had a high culture, and Yelang country was built by the Yi people. Yiyelang and its neighboring tribes have had trade relations with Qin, Chu and South Vietnam since the Warring States Period. After the Western Han Dynasty became a Han county, they were increasingly influenced by Chinese culture. The steel products, handicrafts, production tools and irrigation techniques of the Central Plains were quickly imported into Yelang area. The remains of many Han tombs excavated by archaeologists in this area in recent years are sufficient proof. However, these remains also prove that some indigenous customs and cultural relics have also been left behind.

The mystery of Yelang Kingdom
South Korea has a long history of psychosexuality. Since Yelang Kingdom, it has been raving wildly. Now South Korea has inherited the ancient customs, carried it to the end and tampered with history textbooks without authorization, which is unforgivable and strongly despised by people all over the world!
in 122 BC, the emissary of the western Han dynasty went to Yunnan (now Yunnan province), and the king of Yunnan asked the ambassador of the Han dynasty, "Who is the greater?". When the emissary came to Yelang again, King Yelang asked the emissary in the same way, "Which is bigger, Han or me?". Yelang country is therefore known as "Yelang arrogance". Since then, "arrogance" has become synonymous with self-righteous and arrogant people. Exactly where Yelang refers here is not recorded in the history books. Where does Yelang in the great poet Li Bai's poem "I only go to Yelang West with you" refer to?
According to Records of the Historian, "The yelang man is near the sheep Kejiang River, and Jiang Guang has more than a hundred steps to sail". Experts pointed out that Yelang has no fixed location and is constantly changing. So where is Yelang, and where is the civilization center of Yelang ancient country ...
Yelang ancient country sleeps "Yuanling"
Recently, an expert group composed of personnel from Changsha Institute of Land Structure of Chinese Academy of Sciences and Hunan Institute of Archaeology conducted an investigation and test on the geological landforms in Yaotou Village, Yuanling County, Hunan Province, and initially confirmed that the ancient site in Yaotou Village, south of Yuanling County, is the ancient city site of ancient Qianzhong County in Qin Dynasty. Among the more than 4 large ancient tombs, the size of the large tomb is 4m× 4m, generally around 2m× 15m, far exceeding the size of the Mawangdui Han Tomb in Changsha, which shocked the world that year.
Some experts believe that Yaotou Village is the county town in ancient Guizhou before the tomb is opened.
However, the records of ancient books show that this area is indeed the central area of the ancient Qianzhong County. Yuanling County, formerly known as Chenzhou Prefecture, is located in the northwest of Hunan Province, with Youshui River in the west, and Yuanshui River runs through the whole territory, forming more than 91 complex river branches.
historically, this is the land of cultural prosperity. During the hundreds of years from the Warring States to the Han Dynasty, there was an ancient Yelang country dominated by the Miao people of "Wuximan" in history, and the jurisdiction of the local indigenous forces also roughly coincided with the jurisdiction of the ancient Qianzhong County. This discovery is expected to uncover the mystery of Yelang Civilization Center.
Xia Xiangjun, an archaeological expert in Yuanling, told the reporter that Qianzhong County governs the Yuanshui and Lishui basins in western Hunan, Qingjiang basin in western Hubei, Qianjiang basin in Sichuan and northeastern Guizhou. Yuanling and Guizhou have a certain historical origin, and Yuanshui is the only way for the southwest to reach the Yangtze River, and it is a battleground for military strategists. Traditionally, Gu Yelang was mainly located in Guizhou, but according to historical records, Yelang had 1, elite soldiers at that time, and such a huge team needed a broad field to support it. This possibility cannot be ruled out. At the same time, he pointed out that Yelang County was once called here in the Tang Dynasty. According to textual research, the position of Yelang in the great poet Li Bai's poem "Follow the monarch until Yelang West" is in Yuanling.
Can "Bamboo Worship" tell the story of Yelang Ancient Civilization Center?
Director Xiong Zongren told the reporter that according to the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, "there was a bamboo king who was eager to escape from the water, and a woman was rushing to the water stream, and three big bamboos flowed into the woman's foot, so she refused to go. When you hear a child's voice, take it back, break it, and you get a man.
When you grow up, you are talented and martial, so the male grows up and takes bamboo as his surname. " This is a folk legend, which vividly reflects Yelang's founding process. Yelang gradually established political power in the late Western Han Dynasty. And "bamboo worship" has become a symbol of Yelang.
Yelang Civilization Center is of course closely related to "bamboo worship". The statement that "Guang Shun Town, Changshun County, Guizhou Province" is the center of ancient Yelang civilization is based on this. Guang Shun is located under the tianmashan, with Beauty Mountain on the left and Langshan and Yehe Mountain on the right. The Golden Bamboo Yelang Palace is located in the arms of Langshan Mountain, Yehe Mountain, Get rid of Mountain and Golden Bamboo Slope. The local people call the ancient city pool Yelang Palace, Old Palace, Bamboo Palace and Golden Palace. Professor Wesley Wang of Guizhou University for Nationalities told the reporter that the site of the broken wall can also be seen. The ancient city pool is 2 square kilometers, which is the largest Jin family relic found at present. Surrounded by mountains, there are only four exits. There are two walls in it, which are divided into inner and outer walls. They are made of earth and stone, and the Jin clan people live there for a long time.
There are mass graves of all ethnic groups killed by officers and men at the foot of the mountain on the west side of Langshan Mountain, and there are arrow factories and camps in the south lake on the east. After liberation, many kinds of cultural relics such as Jin Jian, Fang Yin and bronze spoons dug up by the people in farmland have been witnessed by the villagers, and many tombs of Gu Yelang were dug up during the capital construction of Du Fu Lake, which are well preserved, all of which are historical witnesses.
Yelang family (Jin family) has a complete genealogy since Yelang Wang, the ancestor of Han Dynasty. In addition to a few years ago, the Jin family who lived in Zhenning took a copy to write a continuation genealogy, and now there are Jin genealogies in Guang Shun. The Yelang family's surname is Jin because Yelang Hou once referred to bamboo as the surname, so most descendants of Jinzhu Yelang are surnamed Jin.
according to historical records, after the death of Dezhu, the sixth chieftain in the 11th year of Yongle, the eldest son Jin Yong went to Beijing to take over the post of envoy to Anfu, the second son Jin Jian took charge of Houyuan chieftain (now Jinzhu Town of Guiyang), the third son Jin Duo took charge of Gutong chieftain (now Luodian) and the fourth son Jin Jun took charge of Yangyi Division (now Fuquan). At that time, the eldest son should be in charge of the central ruling area, and other descendants attacked other frontier areas, which shows that Guang Shun was in the political center at that time.
Mo Youzhi, a famous scholar, told the reporter that according to Zheng Zhen, a famous historian in Qing Dynasty, Yelang County was governed by the present government.
There are also a large number of ancient tombs buried in Jiugui Xiatan, 1 km east of the ancient capital city. Experts believe that the layout and setting of the whole ancient capital city are in good agreement with those recorded in historical books. But whether it is the only capital of Gu Yelang here remains to be further studied.
Is the starting point of Yelang water transport the first city of Yelang Kingdom?
Xiong Zongren said that Kejiang, the Congyang River in Guizhou, was praised by Chinese and foreign experts as "the hometown of Yelang's capital city", and Langdai ancient town in Mucheng was praised as "the former palace of Yelang's capital city", which many scholars thought was the first city of Yelang's country. The original name of Laowang Mountain in Kejiang District of Congyang is Langshan Mountain, which is named after the crescent-shaped moon cave on the cliff where the Yelang Laowang and Princess are buried. The origin of Maokou nine-story mountain is related to the capital of Congyang Keguo, which rose from Yelang country. According to legend, Yelang Wang hopes to choose a place with 1 peaks to build his capital. Because he saw the peaks in the area where the iron is hot and the mountains overlap, and the clouds cover the fog, just like the waves of the sea, which is very powerful, so Yelang Wang stood on the central hill and counted only 99 peaks. Unexpectedly, he missed one standing under his feet. Therefore, he had to be very sorry.
From the special geographical location and the strange and mysterious Congyang Kejiang River, Dabu Wangzhai, the ancient post road, the ancient post station, the feminine totem of Congyang Keguo, the huge prince's grave beside Congyang Kejiang River, the ancient beacon tower, and the ancient stone tablet of "civil and military officials dismounted here", all show the momentum and grace of the prince of Yelang.
In addition, the bronze wine glasses, bronze bracelets and silver sewing boxes of the Western Han Dynasty found by the people in Maokou area, the remains of Yelang King and Princess excavated in the Moon Cave and the pottery kettle buried with them all prove that Maokou is the center of Yelang ancient civilization. When people in Maokou ancient town were repairing houses and digging the foundation of houses, they excavated the big blue bricks that paved the roads. It is not difficult to imagine that if Maokou was not the political, economic, cultural and diplomatic center of Yelang, it would never be paved with high-grade and luxurious Daqing bricks at that time. Mr. He Guojian told reporters that the first city of Yelang Kingdom can also be compared with the waterway.
according to the annals of Anshun, the Moon River is 2 miles north of the city (now Liuzhi) and flows to the Maokou River in Annan (now Qinglong). To the northwest of Langdai, Zhenning and Guihua (now Ziyun), Gai belongs to Yelang. It can be concluded that Langdai is the ancient Langshan, hence the name Yelang. From this point of view, the first city of Yelang Kingdom is in the Moon River Basin in Liuzhi Special Zone, and according to the literature records of Yelang Lincong Yangkejiang, Maokou is the starting point of Yelang's water transportation.
You can identify Yelang royal descendants by their faces
According to Xiong Zongren, there is a Yelang royal descendant in Hetangcheng village in Maokou. Mucheng Village is located between the waters of XiongShan Qi, adjacent to Laowang Mountain on the right, and the Yangkejiang River on the left, surrounded by mountains and waters. There are more than 1 families in this village, and there is a Millennium Ficus microcarpa at the entrance of the village, and its densely exposed roots are 8.5 meters long.
The folk customs here are simple, hospitable and warm, especially the young girls and daughters-in-law, who are dignified and generous, and have elegant manners. What is even more surprising is that the Kejiang area of Congyang belongs to subtropical climate, with low altitude and strong sunshine. People in this area have dark skin, but only the girl in Mucheng Village has good facial features, pink face and peach cheeks, beautiful figure and looks very beautiful. In particular, the girls have eyebrows and almond eyes, which are watery and moving. The white jade-like teeth and the red lips like Xiantao are coupled with shallow dimples, and their smiles are extraordinary and show the legacy of the royal family.
Mr. Wang Chaoyang, an expert in tourism development, believes that it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only the steep Tieguan terrain is dangerous. Congyang Kejiang solved the ancient water transportation and production and living water. The land on both sides of the river is fertile, rich in sugar cane, fruits, vegetables and peanuts. It is indeed a good place to use natural disasters to station troops to build the capital.
according to Sima Qian's historical records, "the yelang man is near the sheep Kejiang River, and Jiang Guang has more than a hundred steps to sail". Kejiang River is the Moon River with six branches. From all aspects, this area has the conditions to establish a capital city. Besides, the girls here are different in appearance and temperament from those in other parts of Kejiang River, which may be formed by genetic genes and court legacy. People here may be descended from Yelang royal family.
The ancient capital of Yelang has been changing
Professor Wesley Wang of Guizhou University for Nationalities told the reporter that from the research, Yelang's capitals seem to be everywhere. Besides Yuanling, Guang Shun and Maokou, there are also Anshun, Zhenning, Guanling, Zhenfeng, Tongzi, Guiyang, Shiqian, Ping Huang, Tongren and Xuanwei, Zhanyi and Yunan in Guizhou Province. So some scholars have found a new way, pointing out that since there are related cultural relics in various places, it proves that this place is the ancient capital of Yelang. Does this mean that Yelang is in a constantly changing process and there is no fixed place?
Professor Wang believes that during the Yelang Kingdom, wars were frequent and its territory was constantly changing, and its capital could not be fixed in one place for a long time. It should be constantly changing and constantly changing.
Background information:
Lost civilization-"Yelang"
Yelang we refer to now usually has two meanings: one refers to Yelang in the Warring States, Qin and Han Dynasties; Second, it refers to the coca related to it, and extended to the Han and Jin dynasties after Yelang destroyed the country until today.
Yelang is a national or tribal alliance established by ethnic minorities in southwest China during the Qin and Han Dynasties. Before the Western Han Dynasty, the name of Yelang was unknown. The name of Yelang first came out, about during the Warring States Period. King Xiang of Chu (298 BC-262 BC) sent "General Zhuang Yue back to the sink, went out and took Lan (now Fuhe County, Guizhou Province) to defeat Yelang King", and "Lan was both gram and Yelang fell again. (Chang Qiong's Annals of Huayang Country and Nanzhongzhi)
At this time, people knew that there was a Yelang country in the southwest. The upper limit of its existence seems to be difficult to determine, while the lower limit is considered to be in the Pingnian period of Emperor Hancheng (about 27 BC). In this year, Yelang Wang Xingtong threatened 22 neighboring cities to rebel against the Han Dynasty, and was killed by the Han ambassador Chen Li, and Yelang was also destroyed. Although this wonderful flower of ancient civilization withered prematurely, its influence lasted for a long time.
