What is the origin of the affair in Yunnan?
The wind, flowers, snow and moon in Yunnan refer to the four major scenic spots in Dali: Xiaguan Wind, Shangguan Flower, Cangshan Snow and Erhai Moon. ?

The so-called "Xiaguan Wind" is because Xiaguan is located at the pass. In the windy season, strong winds roar through the streets and sweep the alleys. Out of Shimonoseki, there is little wind and little smoke, and there is no rice wave. As for "Shangguanhua", according to Dali Prefecture Records, "Camellia sinensis is six feet high, and its quality is like osmanthus, which is grayish white. Each flower has twelve petals, and one petal should be added after the leap month in December. This custom is passed down from ancestors. In Dali Prefecture and at the foot of the mountain, the natives were named after the place names. "

Cangshan Mountain is magnificent, 42 kilometers long from north to south, with 19 peaks and 18 streams on it. The snow on the top of the mountain does not melt all the year round, and it is wrapped in silver and dazzling. This is Cangshan Snow; Erhai Lake is as clear as a mirror, suitable for boating. Whenever the bright moon is in the sky, Cangshan silver peak shines, silver light and moonlight complement each other, and Bai fishermen haunt the sparkling trees. This is "Erhai Moon".

In the second year of Yuanfeng in the Western Han Dynasty (before 109), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened west to south, and set up 24 counties, of which Yunnan was one. There are three ways to name Yunnan county. First, according to legend, when the county was founded, colorful clouds appeared in Longxing Mountain in the north of Yunnan Village, and the county seat was called "Yunnan" in the south of Cai Yun? ; Second, "Cloud Shan Zhinan" said that Yunshan is (now Binchuan Jizu Mountain, often with clouds several feet high, and the county seat is called Yunnan in YunShan Zhinan; Third, the theory of "Emperor Wu pursues dreams". According to legend, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dreamed of colorful clouds at night and sent envoys to pursue dreams. He is chasing colorful clouds in Xiangyun County today because he is located in Yunnan County.

In the Tang Dynasty, luo feng, the envoy of Nanzhao Wang Ge, went to Chang 'an to pay his respects to the Tang King. The king asked: where is your majesty? The remote guide said: Under the clouds in the south. Therefore, in the eyes of the imperial court, "Yunnan" is synonymous with the southwest frontier of the motherland. In the 16th year of Kaiyuan (728), the Tang King named Ge Luofeng as the "King of Yunnan".

In the 11th year of Yuan Dynasty (1274), China established Yunnan and other provinces, and "Yunnan" was officially defined as the name of Yunnan. Yunnan county used to have Yunnan county, Yunnan yellow and Yunnan government, and the word "Yunnan" has always been used. ?

From the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, Yunnan County was often called "Little Yunnan" because of the use of provincial names. In the seventh year of the Republic of China (19 18), Yunnan county was renamed Xiangyun county, avoiding the same name.

Yunnan's climate basically belongs to subtropical plateau monsoon type, with obvious three-dimensional climate characteristics, many types, small annual temperature difference, large daily temperature difference, clear dry and wet seasons, and abnormal vertical temperature change with terrain height. Northwest Yunnan has a cold climate, long winter without summer and short spring and autumn. The eastern and central parts of Yunnan belong to temperate climate, with four seasons such as spring and winter when it rains; The south and southwest of Yunnan belong to the low-heat valley area, and some of them enter the tropical area south of the Tropic of Cancer, with long summer without winter and rainy to autumn. In a province, there are three climatic zones: cold, warm and hot (including subtropical zone). Generally, the average temperature drops by 0.6℃~ 0.7℃ every time the altitude rises 100 m. There is a saying that "one mountain is divided into four seasons, and ten miles are different", and the scene is unique.
