Shizhaishan is the cemetery of one or several generations of Yunnan kings and their families and servants. Today, Jincheng town in Jinning County is the capital of the ancient Dian state and the birthplace and center of Dian culture. In the following two thousand years, Dianchi County, a famous county in Jincheng, served as the governing seat of Yizhou County, Jinning County, ningzhou county and Jianning county. (in the period of Nanzhao and Dali in Tang and Song Dynasties, it was the land of Cuan and the castle of Yang). No wonder yuan Jiagu in Modern Times said in his Dian Yi: "the metropolis is the center of politics. From the Warring States period to the Tang Dynasty, the center of Yunnan was in Jinning, which is now Jincheng. Jincheng was the seat of ningzhou County in the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty. It was once built by the governor Liang PI, who "extended the city for seven Li and built nine gates and twelve thoroughfares". In 1486, a brick city was built in the 22nd year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty. In the southeast and northwest, a urn city and four gates of Longxiang, Nanxun, Fengzhu and Gongcheng were built. In the following hundreds of years, they were either destroyed or repaired. In 1954, when the field survey was carried out, the broken original city wall was 4100 meters long and 4 meters high. It was not completely removed until 1958. Fortunately, although the city walls have been removed, most of the houses and public buildings in the ancient city in the Ming and Qing Dynasties are still in good condition, which reminds us of the prosperous scene of the ancient city. Recently (May 20, 2003) Kunming Daily reported that the ancient city's long history, unique ancient residential courtyard, street pattern and exquisite architectural carving art have attracted great attention of experts from Zurich Cultural Relics Protection Bureau. They and their group of 20 people have visited the ancient town three times, and they are surprised by the scenes of civilization lost in the ancient capital of Yunnan.
