Wu Shu, a native of Yunnan, loves outdoor sports and enjoys traveling. He is willing to participate in answering this question. Wu Shu's headline series "Historical Travels of Yunnan" attempts to combine Yunnan's history with tourism, and feel the ancient and mysterious history of Yunnan in tourism. If you are interested, please pay attention to Wu Shu's travels in Yunnan.
Limited by space, this answer mainly introduces: Jumachi ancient country, ancient Dian country and Ailao country.
1. An ancient country with relatively complete inheritance and records: the ancient country of Okmachi.
During the Yin and Zhou Dynasties, Yunnan was called "the land of philosophers". To say that this "Pu" heritage and materials are relatively complete, the first one is the famous: the ancient country of Jumachi.
Jumachi is an ancient county name set by Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, and it is also an ancient country name. He was named "King of Rejecting Machi" because the death of the leader of Rejecting Machi helped quell the rebellion in Gu Jian and Yu Ye (now Dali) and enjoyed the special treatment of juxtaposing countries and counties! Its territory is very vast, including southeastern Yunnan and western Guangxi, and its "national capital" is now Liancheng in Guangnan.
The Guangnan bronze drum unearthed in Guangnan County today is the best testimony of that period of history. If you get the bronze drum, you get the world and the dominant position. The Biography of Ma Yuan in the Later Han Dynasty recorded that Ma Yuan, the first wave general of the Eastern Han Dynasty, tiptoed in the south to "take the Luoyue bronze drum", which happened in Guangnan, an ancient town.
The famous tourist attractions in Guangnan are: Bamei Scenic Spot and Babao Scenic Spot in Xanadu, and now that the high-speed train EMU has passed, it is quite convenient to travel from Guangxi!
Second, a kingdom that makes people feel a little sad and helpless: the ancient kingdom of Yunnan.
The establishment of the ancient kingdom of Yunnan is a bit sad and helpless! In 278 BC, the State of Chu sent a team of Chu generals to the Dianchi Lake area. After conquering the local people, they were separated by the Qin State because of their return, so they stayed in the Dianchi Lake area and established the Dian State, with the capital in Jincheng Town, Jinning District, Kunming.
Will go, won the battle, but the old country is unbearable, so we have to stand on our own feet as king. Fortunately or unfortunately?
To say that the best place in ancient Yunnan is not to leave us the abbreviation of today's Yunnan, but to confirm the history of China! The ancient Dian kingdom, which represents the light of ancient civilization in Yunnan, can't find any historical records to study except a few hundred words recorded by Sima Qian, the Taishi Gong, in the Historical Records.
Did the ancient Dian Kingdom ever exist? How credible is the historical records? 1955, "Wang Yin of Yunnan" was unearthed from the Han Tomb in Shizhaishan, Jinning, Yunnan, and all this was solved. A Yunnan gold seal proves the rule of the central dynasty of the Han Dynasty over Dianchi Lake, and also proves the authenticity and credibility of Sima Qian's records in Historical Records more than two thousand years ago. Cow, that's awesome!
Today's Jinning tourism, in addition to ancient Yunnan archaeological sites, there are ancient Yunnan wharf wetland park, happy park and other attractions.
