history

As early as 109 BC, the Han Dynasty spread to the Central Plains. Therefore, when Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty first granted gold seal and set up prefectures and counties in Yunnan, he set up a special "Bisu county". It is now Yunlong Nuodeng and its surrounding areas. "Bi" is the inflection of "salt" in Bai language. "Su" has the meaning of "person" in the Tibeto Burmese Language Branch of Han Tibetan, which means "salt man" or "salt producer". It can be seen that in the Han Dynasty, these "salt producers" were well-known in the Central Plains. In the vast southwest, most of them were unnamed wild lands, and "Norden" -- "Bisu" had its own name. It is very old and rare for a small mountain village. Nuodengjing was directly under the control of Duan's regime in the period of Dali state of Song Dynasty. In 1383, the Ming government established Wujing Yanke tiju division, one of the four tiju divisions in Yunnan. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it has been the axis of Yanma ancient road connecting Tengchong, Myanmar, Tibet, Dali and Baoshan. Salt once made this small mountain village prosperous. There are thirty or forty shops in a street built close to the mountain, and they have to "rush to the street" four times a month. Xiaoshan village has been brilliant for centuries, leaving behind temples, guildhalls, ancestral halls, government houses and folk houses Up to now, there is still one building in Yuan Dynasty, about 100 in Ming and Qing Dynasties, and about 50 or 60 in the Republic of China.
