Historical development

The central town of the ancient city is located on Dagui mountain, which is the best preserved ancient city in Tibet. It is a castle built here by Tubo in Tang Yifeng and diaolu years. It is called "dukezong", translated as blue moonlight city. During the Hongzhi period of Ming Dynasty, Mu's Chieftain built moonlight Village (xianggewa Village) here, which echoes the sunlight city (Danian Yuwa Village) on the Bank of the milk river. During the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, Zhongdian city was established, and it flourished for a time. After several large-scale repairs from 1724 to 1921, the city was gradually expanded and improved.

The shape of the ancient city is not square or round, and its outline is similar to that of Shambhala Mandala in Tibetan Buddhism. The streets in the city are built around the mountains. The buildings are all of Diqing's unique wall and plank style. The roads are paved with rough and durable stones. The city is divided into three streets, Jinlong, cangfang and Beimen, with a total of 33 lanes,

In the center, there are Sifang street for market trading, and 23 ethnic minorities live together. Since the 1950s, new towns have been built on both sides of Xiangde highway between the foot of Jila mountain in the north of the city and the ancient city to move the city northward. By the 1990s, the county has reached a considerable scale.

In the early Tang Dynasty, Tubo went south and built an iron bridge on the Jinsha River in Zhongdian, which opened up the channel between Yunnan and Tibet. Tubo introduced the relatively developed plateau animal husbandry, water conservancy and smelting technology to Zhongdian and Northwest Yunnan. The traditional crafts and tea of Nanmu were loved by Tubo people. Shenchuan iron bridge became the hub of the trade of animal products and tea, which was the trade of tea horse and silk horse between Yunnan and Tibet ”The beginning of the new era. During the song and Yuan Dynasties, the main market of tea horse market shifted to the southwest.

In Ming Dynasty, Lijiang Mu's chieftains occupied Zhongdian. Every year, Yunnan merchants brought tea, sugar, bronze ware, grain and non-staple food from Lijiang, Heqing, Dali and Pu'er to Zhongdian, Kangnan, jiangka and Yanjing for sale. From these areas, they also transported wool, butter, Tibetan incense, cudgel, Cordyceps sinensis, musk and other mountain products. In 1688, the local government of Tibet requested to exchange markets in Zhongdian, which was approved by the emperor of Qing Dynasty. Zhongdian was officially established. The trade names, Lama Tibetan merchants, and guzong piggyback troops appeared one after another. The mining industry and handicraft industry developed in Zhongdian, and the number of foreign merchants increased. Zhongdian became the main market and commodity distribution center of Yunnan Tibet trade.

During the reign of emperor Xiantong, because of the chaos of war and the obstruction of trade routes, it was restored in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. In 1942, the Japanese imperialists occupied Myanmar and cut off the communication line between Yunnan and Myanmar. Since then, the aid materials for China could only be transported from the south of Himalayas to Kunming via the domestic trade routes in Northwest Yunnan, and the trade between Yunnan and Tibet became busy. On the Yunnan Tibet transportation line, there are more than 10000 horse gangs passing through Zhongdian every year, and the two-way transportation volume is more than 1000 tons every year. The annual total value of Finance and trade in and out of Zhongdian is nearly 10 million yuan (half opened). After 1957, the state built Yunnan Tibet and Zhongxiang highways, and various materials and necessities, such as cigarettes, tea, sugar and cloth, were continuously transported to Tibet and Ganzi region through Zhongdian.
