Yanyue Park in Nanjian County is one of the Best Tourist Attractions and Top Things to Do when travel to Dali, it introduces the main scenic spots, address, entrance tickets booking, The best time to visit, How to Get there, the highlights, facts, history, photos, visiting routes, travel tips, tour maps of Yanyue Park in Nanjian County(南涧县偃月公园).

Chinese Name: 南涧县偃月公园
English Name: Yanyue Park in Nanjian County, Dali
Location: Nanjian County, Dali

南涧彝族自治县地处东经100°06′~100°41′，北纬24°39′~25°10′，位于大理白族自治州南端。东与弥渡县接壤，南与景东县以澜沧江为界，西至黑潓江与凤庆县隔水相望，北与巍山县山水相连。全县东西最大横距55千米。

南涧西汉时属益州郡，东汉时属永昌郡，蜀汉时属云南郡，唐初属阳瓜州，南诏时属蒙舍赕，宋时属天水郡。元忽必烈至元二十年（1275年）始建县，称名定边县，属镇南州。至元二十四年（1287年）定边县改为乡，仍属镇南州。明洪武十七年（1384年）复置定边县，属楚雄府。清雍正七年（1729年）裁定边县，归蒙化府。民国属蒙化县。

偃月公园月牙山，又名马鞍山，位于南涧县城北边。据康熙《定边县志》记载：“北山偃月，县北有山，两峰相加，高出云表，望之形似偃月。”山峰方圆近万米，海拔1591米，“北山偃月”，是月牙山胜景的嘉喻。秋天昼夜相交时，此地往往出现日月落于同时，晨夕之辉相映若隐虹。

南涧偃月公园坐落于南涧县城北面月牙山上。月牙山是南涧县古往今来的风景名胜，而且也是古代的文化遗址，月牙山上曾出土过新石器时代的石斧、石刀、陶片等文物。因地势险要独特，风景优美，月牙山属古定边（南涧旧称）“八景”之一。1982年，南涧县在月牙山原有风景的基础上建成“偃月公园”。经过30年的不断绿化美化，如今的偃月公园已成为绿树成荫，鸟语花香的绿色公园，成了南涧当地群众休闲娱乐、锻炼身体，外地游人观景游乐的好去处。

记得上世纪八十年代初，我第一次逛南涧偃月公园时，月牙山上树木稀少，除了不多的几株树和山坡上的仙人掌外，植物不多，还能看到黄土裸露的山坡。然而今年中秋节期间当我和朋友又一次来到偃月公园时，月牙山已全部掩映在绿色之中，山坡上的几个小亭子也只露出一点尖顶，通往山顶的石阶小径全部隐没在绿色之中，从山顶“观景台”远眺，南涧县城尽收眼底，往山脚看“偃月公园”尽在绿色之中。而在月牙山脚的公园广场上，高大的榕树、棕榈树下有人跳健身舞、有人遛鸟、有人打球、有人看书……偃月公园已成了南涧群众休闲娱乐的绿色公园。

古人有诗赞赏此景曰：

崔嵬不可喻，伫望接辰居。

日出霞光灿，风高淑景余。

半湾悬海角，全曲到天衡。

云表浮丹气，彤弓带紫鱼。

月牙山不仅是南涧古往今来的名胜名山，而且也是古代文化遗址，曾出土新石器时代的化石，如石斧、石刀、陶器等文物，还有一些地下文物有待发掘考证。http://www.sohu.com/a/152490038_99901123

The golden seal of the Dian King was unearthed in the tomb of the Dian King Changqiang at Shizhaishan Hill on December 28, 1956. 

It was a sensational archeological discovery in Yunnan Province for it strongly proved that the Dian Kingdom in the legend really existed in the Dianchi Lake area 2000 year ago and politically related with the Han Dynasty because the golden seal was presented to the Dian King by Emperor Hanwudi in the West Han Dynasty (109BC).

The archeological discovery of the Dian Bronze wares are of many kinds: cowry containers (bronze drums), musical instruments, ritual vessels, weapons, farming tools, textile tools, articles for daily use, decorative appliances and so on, which were of Dian cultural ecstasy or essence and strong Yunnan ethnic styles. Showing the masterful casting technique of modeling, filling model casting, dewaxing model casting and artistry and the skilled use of the bronze alloy as well as the successful experience, Dian Bronze gained high position in the four bronze cultures of the world including the Greek bronze culture, Central China bronze culture, Dian bronze culture and North China prairie culture.

The archaeological circles traditionally refer to the bronze culture which appeared in the Dianchi Lake area from the Warring States period to the Eastern Han Dynasty as “Dian Culture” and named it “the Culture of Shizhaishan Type” because it was discovered first at the Shizhaishan Hill in Jinning County. The bronze exhibits in Kunming City Museum are just the the bronze culture in the Dianchi Lake area, an excellent art among the splendid Chinese bronze cultures of the profound historical and cultural background.

With Dianchi Lake area as the centre, the Dian bronze cultures are widely distributed in central Yunnan including Qujing to the east, Yuanjiang to the south, Jinshajiang River to the north, and Lufeng to the west, and Kunming, Jinning, Chenggong, Jiangchuan, Anning, Lufeng, Shilin, Luliang and Qujing etc are all involved. There are in all 14 counties and over 60 spots included, and the most important spots are the Shizhaishan Hill of Jinning County, Lijiashan Hill of Jiangchuan County, Batatai Terrace of Qujing, Tianzimiao of Chenggong, Shibeicun Village of Chenggong and Taijishan Hill of Anning. 

The bronze wares excavated
Cowry containers, cowry are the ringed sea shells from the tropical coast of the Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean, which means that the Dian ethnics in the inland Yunnan had already exchanged with the peoples along the coasts and they took the sea shells as media currency and especially the ruling class made the bronze container to store the cowries as the plus values. We can say the bronze cowry containers are the forefather of China’s banks and also the forefather of the world’s banks!

The containers
The containers are of different shapes, some are drum-shaped, some are tubular, and some are irregular. 

Three containers, excavated from Tomb 41# at Tianzimiao Temple, had no ornamentations on the bodies, and the shape is tubular, the lids had octagonal radiation patterns intaglio carved in the middle and 600 pieces of cowries inside when excavated.

The lids with five cattle, one is relatively big and other four are standing around the edge with tails and heads linked. The bodies have feather men boating patterns and water birds and cattle carved. The cattle were the sign of the property, which displayed the chase and desire of the owners for wealth. There are cast 7 figurines on the body with high air bun, bare feet, with the gong touching the ground and spears on the shoulders–which means there was a well-armed and well-trained army in the Dian Kingdom. 

The lids of the cowry containers had different patterns cast, sculptured or carved such as the battle scenes, textile scenes, oath-taking scene, and human sacrifice etc. In addition, there were patterns of “storing” and “grazing”, revivifying and reproducing the real society of the Dian Kingdom. The ancient Dians vividly and intuitively cast their own social and historical life on the bronze wares with no written records, which we can say is a great creation of the Dians and a unique way of the historic record. Therefore, the containers were not only the bronze containers storing the cowry currency but also the important state implements of the Dian Kingdom authority. These patterns cast on the lids also showed the prominent status, position or the glorious experience of the host in the tombs. The war scene pattern on the containers unearthed in Shizhaishan Hill exposed an astonishing war.

The drums
The drums usually used as the cooking pots first and then used as drums when battles drumming for fight.

Yunnan is the province where the bronze drums were widely discovered. The bronze drums were not only the musical instruments, but also the ritual vessels and valuable devices, only the royal families and the higher-ups could possess. The 1,400 bronze drums collected in China are classified into eight types of different drums such as “Wanjiaba Type”, “Shizhaishan Hill Type”, “Lengshuichong Type”, and “Majiang Type” etc. The common characteristics of these bronze drums are bronze-made, flat tops and curve bodies, empty inside and no bottom, 4 hangers on the sides. 

The drums unearthed at Tianzimiao Temple of Chenggong were the relics of the Warring States period and one of the two, the surfaces had the sun patterns and the main halo were four flying herons around the sun pattern (this is the evidence that there were ever since lots of herons in the Dianchi Lake area), there were round point patterns and triangle tooth veins with round points on the outer halo and this drum was unearthed from the biggest tomb in the central part of the site, and this implied the preciousness of the bronze drum during the Warring State period, the prominent social status and the high nobility of the host. It is noticeable that the plain drums without patterns were the relics of the Spring-Autumn period. 

The buckle ornaments
The buckle ornaments were the characteristic artifacts among the Dian bronze wares and usually used as ornaments. They are, by their shapes, rectangular, circular and irregular; while by the casting technology, they are hollowed carvings，mosaic and relief and so on. But any shape or any technology, there must be a hook welded on the back to buckle it on the clothes or on other things. 

The bronze buckles are usually classified into two kinds: one is the animal patterns, such as frogs, snails, tigers, eagles, and monkeys etc. There were over 40 kinds of animals taken by the Dians to make their buckle patterns; the other one is the architecture or houses or sacrificial columns. Some buckles had the roof patterns and some had the sacrificial columns human or animal sacrifices.

The weapons
The weapons are the bronze wares mostly unearthed in the Dianchi Lake area, more than 70 pieces were unearthed in Tomb 71#, which are dagger-axes, spears, swords, battle-axes, axes, arrowheads, crossbows, maces and so on. 

The bronze wares unearthed in Dianchi Lake area shows a complete society of the Dian Kingdom:

The golden seal of Dian King shows the political status of Dian in the West Han Dynasty;
The cowry containers show the economy of Dian Kingdom;
The bronze reed pipe shows the musical history so long and ancient;
The bronze horn pillow with massage function shows the medical science of the time;
The cattle and tiger table shows the ritual ceremony of Dian society;
The bronze cattle heads show natural religion and worship of the time;
The model house shows the architecture of Dian Kingdom;
The bronze figurines show the clothes style and the head ornament of Dian people which we still can see among the local ethnic people.

Well, with a lot of information of Shaizhaishan Hill and Dian Kingdom, I hope a visit to the Shizhaishan Hill will be fruitful.
