Creative background

Cuan Longyan stele was established by the surname Cuan in Tongle County, Jianning county (now Luliang, Yunnan Province) in 458 A.D. According to the inscriptions, the third grandson of Long Yan once successively served as the prefect of Jianning county and the governor of ningzhou in the Jin Dynasty, which indicates that when the central government lost its direct control over ningzhou in the late Eastern Jin Dynasty, Long Yan once ruled ningzhou in the name of the governor.

Cuan Longyan was once a scholar in the 10th year of Yixi reign (AD 414). He returned to the palace twice and became an official of the Central Plains court. Longyan was also loyal to the Liu and Song dynasties. According to the inscription, Longyan was "loyal to the emperor, simple in his heart and fragrant in Tianyi". It can be seen that in the era when the central plains were divided and the Han Dynasty was weak and the barbarians were strong, the Jin and Song Dynasties adopted the policy of gentle control over the Cuan family, and received the actual political effect. It not only brought peace between Han and Yi, but also used the power of Cuan to maintain the rule of the Jin and Song dynasties. In 432 ad, the Zhaoguang uprising took place in Yizhou, and the people of all ethnic groups in nanzhong responded one after another. The so-called "old in Renshen, hundred and six quarrels, state land disturbance, East and West territory, fierce uprising and wolf violence, Burma became a bandit field". In this great upheaval, Long Yan "gathered five thousand people, joined the sword and stone, smashed thousands of plans, and cleared the cauldron.". Long Yan was greatly rewarded for his contribution in fighting the people's uprising. According to the inscription, when he first became an official in the imperial court, he was chosen as a candidate to guard the southwest frontier because of his talent. So he "moved to nanmanfu to join the army, in addition to trying to guard Jianning Prefecture.". After taking control of his hometown's political power, he began to rectify the administration of officials. On the one hand, he enabled the various branches of the Cuan family to share the political power. On the other hand, he also concealed the rule of the Central Plains royal family and the Cuan family. After his death, people engraved his deeds on the tombstone to commemorate him.
