[Edit this paragraph] I. Origin of the name

As a place name, the word "Kunming" was difficult to research before the Tang Dynasty. There are different opinions about the origin of the word "Kunming". Most scholars believe that "Kunming" was originally the ethnic name of an ancient nation in southwest China. "Kunming" was written as "Kun", "Kun Mi" or "Lin Kun" in China ancient literature. The early days were not the names of cities, but the names of an ancient people living in southwest China, that is, today's western Yunnan and southwestern Sichuan.

According to records, the appearance of the word "Kunming" can be traced back to the period of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty. Sima Qian, a famous historian at that time, wrote in Historical Records Biography of Southwest Yi: "From the east of the same teacher (now Baoshan) in the west to the north, Zhang and Kun all migrated with livestock, but they were not in their usual places and could travel thousands of miles." Thus, the word "Kunming" is the ethnic name of a minority in ancient Yunnan.

"Kunming" appeared as a place name in the Tang Dynasty. "In the second year of Wude, Kunming County set up a town, and the land of Kunming was connected to the south, hence the name." Accordingly, Kunming County is not Kunming today, but Dingze Town (now Yanyuan County) in Sichuan. The reason why Dingze Town was named "Kunming" in the Tang Dynasty has been clearly written in the records, which is why it is close to Kunming. Kunming here still refers to the Kunming people. Before the Gai Han and Tang Dynasties, most ethnic groups in Kunming settled in western Yunnan. It was not until Nanzhao and Dali that Wuman and Baiman rose, and the place where Kunming people lived was occupied by Wuman and Baiman. Kunming talents moved eastward to central Yunnan and lived around Dianchi Lake. In the second year of Song Blessing (1254), Dali was destroyed in the Yuan Dynasty, and a "Thousand Houses in Kunming" was established in Shanshan. "Kunming" began to appear as a place name and has continued to this day.

As for the meaning of the word "Kunming", Jin Changju explained: "Most of the migrants grow Kunming in Japan, and a few species grow in Japan." This sentence can be interpreted as the Kunming nationality with a large population.

As for some local chronicles: "The Wang Liangshan Mountain in the north of Kunming is named Kunlun ... The name of Kunming is taken from the flood in Yunnan, and the southern foot of Kunlun Mountain has a scene of separation from (Lebanon), which is not empty ... The name of Kunming is nothing more than a symbol of Yunnan's civilized scene ... It is said that the sun and the moon push each other, and a bright life can shine on everything, covering the remote areas of Yunnan, and after opening up, Kunming was named as the provincial capital, which means that it can be on a par with the province from now on. As far as glyphs are concerned, Kun is a combination of Japan and Japan, which means that its civilization will progress day by day; Ming is the combination of the sun and the moon, which means the combination of the sun and the moon. It is said that its future will be as prosperous as the sun and the moon, and the significance of Kunming is like this ... "~

Kunming has four seasons like spring, and the temperature difference is small throughout the year. The annual average temperature in urban areas is about 15℃, the monthly average temperature in the hottest time is 19℃, and the monthly average temperature in the coldest time is 7.6℃.

Because of the suitable temperature and humidity, long sunshine and short frost period, flowers do not wither all year round and vegetation is evergreen all year round, so Kunming has the reputation of "Spring City".

The daily temperature difference in Kunming is quite large. There are four seasons in a day, and when it rains, it becomes autumn. The daily temperature difference between winter and spring can reach 12~20℃. Don't forget to bring a sweater or coat when you go. In addition, the rainy season in Kunming is mostly concentrated in May ~ 10. As long as it rains, the temperature will drop. At this time, tourists are advised to bring windbreakers.

Noodles are like belts, and pot helmets are like pot lids.

Chili pepper is a dish, a big bowl of steamed bread,

Bowls and pots are hard to separate, so Dad wears them on his head.

The house is half built and the girl is not open to the public.

Squat up without sitting, singing and shouting.

Among the forest of steles in Xi 'an, there is a monument to the Qing Dynasty, which records eight scenic spots in Guanzhong with Xi 'an as the center. They are called the Eight Scenes in Guanzhong and the Eight Scenes in Chang 'an. These eight scenes are-
