The Historical Origin and Development of Tunpu Culture

Tunpu culture originated from Zhu Yuanzhang's expedition to the south and its subsequent transfer from north to south. In the 13th year of Ming Hongwu, Valmy was stabbed to death by Bazaar, the king of Liang in Yunnan, to revolt. In the second year, Zhu Yuanzhang sent generals Fu Youde and Mu Ying to lead 300,000 troops south. After three months of war, the rebellion in Liang Wang was put down. After this incident, Zhu Yuanzhang realized the importance of stability in the southwest, so he ordered 300 thousand troops to station troops on the spot. What was unearthed this time is a 600-year-old "living fossil of Ming history". "Anshun County Records and Customs Records" contains: "Tunjunbaozi were all sent to the north by Hongwu ... scattered in Tunbao Township, and their families followed them to Guizhou". "Tunpu people are descendants of the Ming Dynasty Tunjun." In Anshun today, the genealogy and records of many large families are the same as historical materials. "Ye's Genealogy" said: "Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor, was sent to the south in the early years of Hongwu. After the rebellion ... make the chariot army for the people and farm for a living. " In the long years, the troops who conquered the south and their families brought their own culture into harmony with the local culture. After more than 600 years of inheritance, development and evolution, "Tunpu culture" has been formed.

After the Ming army conquered the south, in order to rule the south, it ordered the army to settle in other places, and also forcibly moved some craftsmen, civilians and criminals from the Central Plains, Huguang and Liangjiang areas to live in Anshun, Guizhou. With the changes of history, these people have thrived in the process of fighting for the people, not only constantly absorbing local advanced production methods, but also adhering to the cultural and life customs handed down from generation to generation. Formed such a unique phenomenon of Han culture, which we now call Tunpu culture. He not only persistently preserved the cultural individuality of his ancestors, but also created his own regional civilization in his long-term farming and reading life.

Tunpu culture not only has its own course of independent development and continuous enrichment, but also has the remains of Central Plains culture and Jiangnan culture, with both regional cultural characteristics and the connotation of China traditional culture. On the one hand, they insist on preserving the cultural individuality of their ancestors. On the other hand, they created their own regional culture in their long-term farming and reading life: Tunpu people's language has not been assimilated by the surrounding languages after hundreds of years of changes; Women's clothing in Tunpu follows the characteristics of Han nationality's clothing in the south of the Yangtze River in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Tunpu food is easy to store and collect for a long time, which is convenient for long-term campaign and feeding; The religious beliefs of Tunpu people are in the same strain as the polytheism of Han people in China. Tunpu people's lantern tunes also have the charm of Jiangnan ditty; Tunpu people's local operas are primitive and rough, and their reflections on war are vivid, so they are known as "living fossils of drama". Tunpu people's elegant, beautiful and unique defensive residential buildings, mainly stone and wood, constitute Anshun's unique local residential style. ...

Tunpu Cultural Village in Qiyanqiao Town, Anshun is listed as the largest cultural village in the world. 200 1 the State Council will still preserve the relatively intact Yunshan Tun and Benzhai in Tun Bu Village, and announce them as national key cultural relics protection units.
