Study tour background

Scope of study tour: Erhai Basin

From Huadianba at the northernmost end to Dali in the middle to Weishan at the southern end, the Erhai Basin between the southern end of Hengduan Mountain and the northern tip of Ailao Mountain is used as a study tour range. Dali and Weishan are labor camps, while Erhai Lake and Huadianba are biking and hiking camps.

Exploring the origin of civilization in the Erhai Basin:

Influence of Indian Subcontinent Civilization/Indochina Peninsula Civilization/Central Plains Civilization

Geographical corridor: Hengduan Mountain - Ailao Mountain - Beibu Gulf

From the Hengduan Mountains to the Ailao Mountains and then to Hanoi, from the northwest to the southeast to the South China Sea, there is a valley corridor that opens up the mountain-sea passage, perhaps bringing the civilization of the Indo-China Peninsula to the Erhai Basin

Kingdom Quest: Ancient Ailao Country (Jiulong) - Nanzhao Country (Mongols) - Dali Country (Duan's)

Baoshan Dam, the center of Ailao Kingdom. The Puyingtangzigou site, which is separated by a mountain from Baoshanba, is likely to be a civilization created by the ancestors of Ailao, the "Puying people" in the Stone Age; the Puying people are early Homo sapiens around 8,000 years ago.

At the beginning of the 5th century BC, the state of Ailao was built, which is said to be of the Dai people, but there is doubt;

AD 738 (26 years of Kaiyuan) -902 (Tianfu two years), Mengshe Nanzhao Kingdom

In 902 AD (Tang Zhaozong Tianfu two years), Zheng Maisi destroyed Nanzhao and built the Great Changhe Kingdom

In 929 AD (the third year of Tianying), Yang Ganzhen perished Dachang and founded the Great Yining Kingdom

In 937 AD (the seventh year of the Ming Dynasty), Duan Siping destroyed the Great Yining Kingdom and established the Dali Kingdom
