Kunming Folk Culture

The Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Dali Kingdom and established the Yunnan Province, establishing Kunming's status as a central city in the province. At the same time, under the political background of "great unification", with the gradual implantation of a large number of foreign residents of various ethnic groups and the increasingly frequent internal and external economic and cultural exchanges, Yachi City, the capital of Yunnan Province, located on the north bank of Dian Lake, has gradually shown its characteristics since the Han and Tang Dynasties. It is an unprecedented and magnificent situation of multi-ethnic groups and multi-cultural coexistence.

Among them, just in terms of religious culture, not only the Azha religion, that is, the esoteric religion of the South, which was inherited from Nanzhao and Dali, and the Zen Buddhism introduced from the Central Plains have been preserved and developed, but also the Mongolian The Tibetan Buddhism brought from the south was once introduced to the Kunming area, leaving behind the ancestors of different schools: Dade Temple in Benshan, Huating Temple in Xishan, Taihua Temple, and Panlong Temple in Jinning.

Buddhist cultural relics such as the Guandu Vajra Pagoda in the eastern suburbs of Kunming and the White Pagoda with only place names remaining in the eastern part of the city. At the same time, with the arrival of a large number of Muslims from Central Asia and the Western Regions in the Mongolian army, Islam and Islamic culture were also introduced to the Kunming area of ??Yunnan Province and major towns along the transportation lines such as Qujing, Zhaotong, Dali, and Baoshan in the province.

According to historical records, in the early Yuan Dynasty, a Confucian temple was built in Yachi "in the north of the city" to "encourage the children of scholars to learn".

This is another measure to promote Confucianism and spread Chinese culture under the auspices of the feudal government after Wang Zhui, the prefect of Yizhou in the Eastern Han Dynasty, "initiated the establishment of schools" according to historical records. The Confucian Temple and Academy built in the early Yuan Dynasty have been used in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties until now. To sum up, in the more than 2,000 years before the construction of the ancient city of Kunming in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the area on the north bank of Dianchi Lake has accumulated a very profound cultural heritage.

Especially after the long-term accumulation of the four ancient cities of Kunzhou, Tuodong, Shanchan and Yachi, especially the rapid development of the Yuan Dynasty, it not only laid a solid material foundation for the rise of the ancient city of Kunming in later generations, but also laid a solid foundation for the rise of the ancient city of Kunming. It established the basic pattern of multi-ethnic and multi-cultural society. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Kunming’s distinctive features of multiculturalism have remained unchanged and have continued to this day, with greater development.
