Kunming Sauce Garden Legend
About This Novel
A brief history of city building in Kunming. Kunming, a dam surrounded by mountains, had a city built in the Han Dynasty. It was called Guochang City at that time because that distant ancient city was built by a general named Guo Chang in the Western Han Dynasty. The Western Han Dynasty was the dynasty that made the greatest achievements in expanding China's territory. Today's vast territory of China was roughly formed during the Han generals' eastward and westward expeditions. According to "Historical Records: Biography of General Wei's Hussars", Guo Chang followed the Han Dynasty general Wei Qing to attack the Xiongnu. In the fourth year of Yuanfeng (107 BC), he became General Bahu as a Taizhong doctor and stationed in Shuofang. Later, he led troops to attack Kunming, but returned without success. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty seized his seal and dismissed him from office. At that time, Kunming was a wasteland with crisscrossed rivers by the Dian Lake. Guo Chang led his troops on horseback and came from afar. Although he was tired, he had a large number of people and powerful force, and it was easy to plunder land and seize territory. Because of this, he led his troops to build the city.
