History

Its present name "Kunming" was named after an ethnic group residing in Yunnan in ancient times.

About 286 BC, General Zhuang Qiao of the Chu Kingdom in the midreaches of the Yangtze River, led his army into Yunnan.

At that time, Yunnan was occupied by such ancient tribes as the Dian, the Yelang, the Kunming and the Ailao, all of whom are the ancestors of many ethnic groups found in Yunnan today. Zhuang Qiao subdued these tribes and unified the Dianchi area. The war stopped Zhuang Qiao and his fellow armies to go back home and meet their loved ones. They settled down in the Dianchi area eventually and gradually became assimilated with the local tribes after not being able to return to their home. They made their new home the more-advanced culture of the Yangtze River valley.



In 221 BC, following the unification of China by the first Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, Li Bin, the governor of Shu (nowadays Sichuan Province), built a one foot wide path from Yibin of Sichuan to Qujing of Yunnan. The Qin court also sent officials to Yunnan and other parts of Southwest China to stop direct administration over these regions, thus making Yunnan an integral part of the unified China. The policies of the Qin Dynasty to develop the border areas were carried on and further improved in the Han Dynasty.

The Nanzhao Kingdom was established with PiLuoge the Big chieftain being designated as the King of Yunnan. In 937 AD, Dali Kingdom took the place of Nanzhao Kingdom.
