Why does this stone tablet in Dali Ancient City lag far behind other stone tablets?

Many people travel because of the beautiful scenery, and some people travel because of culture. The former is the driving force for many travelers, while the latter, like Mr. Wang, is the driving force for exploring culture. Really, because of the different purposes and realms, they have different tour feelings. The former will probably only produce a large number of scenic photos and selfies, while the latter will be expressed in the form of words, including praise of beautiful scenery, statements of local historical and cultural stories, and in-depth torture and thinking. These combine to produce such a masterpiece as "Cultural Journey".

Hexi Corridor

Of course, not everyone is a master of culture like Yu, and not everyone likes to explore those dilapidated cultural sites. However, by learning from Mr. Wang's way of traveling, we can improve our way of traveling and make the cultural relics of the tourist destination one of our destinations.

There are many amazing stories in its subtleties, which are attached to the cultural relics of the ancient city. Therefore, you must visit some cultural relics in the ancient city of go to dali, because they are the most literary and humanistic carriers in this land. What we are going to talk about today is a stone tablet full of stories. Perhaps in the eyes of many people, the stone tablet is a very common historical relic, and there is nothing to make a fuss about. However, this stone tablet is not an ordinary stone tablet.

In the ancient city of Dali, there are some cultural relics that you must know about, because what is hidden behind them is a great event of the integration of the Chinese nation and a historical step of the gradual merger and formation of China's present territory. Entering the ancient city, we should not only appreciate its beauty, but also feel its history and humanity. No matter how good the scenery is, it only gives people the feeling that a cold photographic work is three-dimensional, but those historical and cultural landscapes with "fireworks" are different. In the wonderful memory system of human beings, even the most beautiful scenery will fade away after you travel for a period of time, but the warm historical and cultural landscape will not. It will be stored in your mind in the form of historical allusions. Because of this, travel has a new form of "cultural travel" and "study tour"!

Yunnan Province

Outside the ancient city of Dali, at the foot of Longquan Peak in Cangshan Mountain, on the famous March Street, a towering and quaint stone tablet stands on this old street that has gone through several dynasties. Whenever dusk falls, the ancient monument looks vicissitudes and majestic in the pale smoke. This stone tablet is the famous "Yuan Shizu Yunping Monument". Now the stone tablet has obviously been repaired from the middle fracture, but it will not affect its overall simple and exquisite stone body decoration, vigorous and elegant calligraphy, still can not hide its historical significance and mission.

Genghis Khan, the founder of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties.

Why is the author unwilling to use so many praises for this monument? This is because this monument is too heavy in history. It recorded and witnessed that the "Liu Zhao" area officially belongs to the central government. Why do you say that? For a long time, Yunnan has been in a wild land, and local ethnic minorities have their own policies. The political power of these ethnic minorities sometimes surrendered to the central dynasty and sometimes left one side, so Yunnan has always been in a very free state. By the time of the Tang Dynasty, many ethnic tribes distributed in Erhai Lake merged with each other and finally formed six tribes, namely, the imperial edict of Mongolia, the imperial edict of Moon Rock, the imperial edict of Langqiong, the imperial edict of Shi Lang and the imperial edict of Mengshe. Although on the surface, Liu Zhao surrendered to the Central Plains Dynasty, in fact, Liu Zhao, like Zongnan (present-day Vietnam), Korea (present-day Korean Peninsula) and other vassal States, was not substantially incorporated into the national territory sequence until the Yuan Dynasty.

As we all know, the Yuan Dynasty made two great contributions to our country. One is the establishment of the provincial system, which is still in use today. Secondly, the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties once expanded the territory, which laid the cornerstone of China's existing territory. Two of the most important things in the numerous territorial expansion are: First, the "Liangzhou Meng Hui" held by Kuo Duan and Sakya Pandit in Wuwei today (marking the formal incorporation of Tibet into Chinese territory); Second, Emperor Kublai Khan made Yunnan a province of the central government.

Although Yuan Shizu's emperor Kublai Khan was not as famous as his father Genghis Khan, his achievements should not be underestimated. Throughout his life, Kublai Khan, an ancestor, fought in the south and the north, and traveled to the east from the west, learning China's advanced culture and making great contributions to consolidating and establishing the Mongolian and Yuan regimes.

Jingzhi on the Jianghu

When Emperor Kublai Khan of Yuan Shizu went south to destroy the Song Dynasty, he first leveled Yunnan in the south and then bypassed the Southern Song Dynasty in the north. In the meantime, when trying to level Yunnan, the marching route was roughly from Ningxia to Gansu, crossing Liupanshan, from Gansu to Songpan, Sichuan, and then the soldiers entered Yunnan in three ways. Kublai Khan pro-unified the Central Army and crossed the river, pushing the people of six imperial edicts all the way from today's Lijiang area to the Erhai Lake. Dali was instantly wiped out under the strong attack of the Mongolian and Yuan armies.

Kublai Khan, the emperor of Yuan Shizu, passed through Wan Li, often went deep into the barren land, crossed the natural barrier and crossed the great river. Under such harsh conditions, it was a feat that no one dared to destroy the six imperial edicts that the Central Plains Dynasty had been helpless for thousands of years.
