The king of Yunnan and the king of South Vietnam showed two extraordinary splendors of the frontier of the Han Empire.

Yunnan was a powerful vassal state in the southwest of Han Dynasty, which reached its peak from the end of Warring States to the beginning of Western Han Dynasty. During the development of the southwest by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Yunnan gradually merged into China, and fell into the Han Dynasty in 109 BC. In the late Western Han Dynasty, Yunnan declined, and by the Eastern Han Dynasty, it had disappeared from the historical records.

Wang Yin, the king of Yunnan in historical records, was given by the Han Dynasty. This record was confirmed on the seal of Yunnan King unearthed from Shizhai Mountain in Jinning in 1956, and the burial place of Yunnan King and his relatives was also confirmed. With the excavation of Lijiashan Tomb in Jiangchuan District and yangfu Head Tomb in Kunming, the outline of Yunnan culture gradually became clear. At present, scholars mostly locate Yunnan culture in the central and eastern parts of Yunnan Province with Dianchi Lake as the center.

Yunnan epic on bronze wares

The spectacular cultural relics unearthed in Yunnan, exquisite skills and civilized Gao Zhuo shocked the world. Up to now, tens of thousands of Yunnan cultural relics have been unearthed, with bronzes as the bulk. People in Yunnan are very creative. They made full use of realistic techniques and ingenious casting techniques to vividly carve scenes of Yunnan society more than 2,000 years ago on bronzes, and instantly solidified them into the history of Yunnan. Bronzes with unique shapes and exquisite patterns have typical Yunnan cultural characteristics;

Shell containers are mostly used to store shell coins, and their covers are carved with various figures, animals or large-scale scenes, with themes covering sacrifices, textiles, hunting, looting, fairs, dances and so on.

Yunnan-Vietnam culture has witnessed the diversity and unity of Chinese civilization.

The Yue people are the main ethnic group in Yunnan, and many cultures in Yunnan have distinct Baiyue cultural characteristics: the Dian people on Yunnan bronzes have inherited the tradition of "stabbing the spine" of the ancient Yue people, and the image of the house model buckle reflects that the Dian people live in the Yue-style dry fence building. The cultural relics such as "Long Live" tiles and watchcolumns unearthed by Guangzhou Taoists in the Western Han Dynasty and the ruins of Nanyue Palace reflect the absorption and integration of architectural technology in the Central Plains by Nanyue on the basis of dry columns. In addition, the features of Yue nationality such as bronze drums and feathers have been found in both places, which shows that Yunnan and Nanyue are inextricably linked in geography, nationality and culture.
