In 1958, a survey by a museum in G Province found that there were a large number of rope-patterned tiles, tiles, pottery fragments and other cultural relics scattered on the Yelang site.

In the 1960s, archaeologists excavated 7 Han tombs here and unearthed more than 300 cultural relics, which caused a sensation in the archaeological and historical circles.

In April 1988, the G Provincial Museum conducted a rescue cleaning trial excavation on the south side of the front of the site.

In October 1992, 200 square meters were officially excavated in the northwest section, with a thickness of 0.6 to 4.1 meters. A large number of plate, tile, tile, tile, pottery fragments such as bowls, plates, beans, jars, copper arrowheads, copper cervix and other weapons were unearthed. A "Yixiang" copper seal was found in the ash pit below the 7th floor of the Fangdong Dividing beam in t183. The remains include ash pits, cellars, ditches, etc.

From September to October 2000, researchers excavated 108 Yelang tombs in Kolohem, G Province and unearthed 547 cultural relics.

As of 2012, nine excavations have been carried out on the Yelang site, and more than 2,400 cultural relics of various types from the Warring States Period to the Qin and Han Dynasties were unearthed, accounting for more than 2/3 of similar cultural relics in G Province.

This is one of the reasons why I studied archaeology, because my hometown is there, and another reason, because of the mysterious family genealogy of the family. The genealogy says that we are an ancient family who guarded the tomb for that god for generations. In fact, no one has seen that god before. I like those ancient and mysterious cultures, and I also want to explore some legends that seem true or false.

Di people, Yu and Bit Kingdom, etc.

Yelang is a country established by ethnic minorities in the southwest during the Qin and Han Dynasties in my country. Before the Western Han Dynasty, there was no document to be found. The name of Yelang was first published around the Warring States Period. King Xiang of Chu (298 BC 262 BC) sent "General Zhuang to leapt down to sink water and came out of Qilan to defeat the Yelang King". "Jinglan defeated, Yelang surrendered again." (Chang Qiong's "Huayang Guozhi·Nanzhongzhi") At this time, people knew that there was a Yelang Kingdom in the southwest.

The history of Yelang Kingdom recorded by the Central Plains regime roughly began in the Warring States Period. During the Heping Period of Emperor Cheng of the Western Han Dynasty, Yelang Wang Xing forced 22 surrounding cities to rebel against the Han Dynasty and was killed by the Han envoy Chen Li. Yelang was also destroyed, about 300 years ago. After that, the mysterious disappearance of the ancient Yelang Kingdom. This ancient civilization left a fog in the historical records of the Central Plains.

According to historical materials of the Yi people, Yelang rose in the Xia Dynasty, and went through four dynasties: Wumi Yelang, Luoju Yelang, scolding Yelang, and Jinzhu Yelang. It ended in the dynasty in the Later Han Dynasty, which lasted about two thousand years.

The historical period of Wumi is divided into four historical stages: Yelang, Caimo, Duotong, Xing and Suanna. During the Yelang period, Yelang was just a relatively powerful slave king. Since the ascension of the king Caimo, the surrounding small countries established alliances and established connections with the Zhou Dynasty. The alliance ruled by Caimo Yelang had 5 member states; the alliance ruled by Duotong Yelang had 6 member states; the alliance ruled by Xingyelang had 10 member states, of which 7 were directly ruled by them; the alliance ruled by Suanna Yelang had 9 member states

;After Suana, the leader of the Yelang League moved to the Zuoluoju tribe, which was for Luoju Yelang. Luoju Yelang once ruled 10 countries. However, this generation of Yelang dynasty cut off the incense after the death of the leader of the leader, Zuoluoju. The swearing Yelang was once very powerful, but frequent wars consumed the strength of this dynasty. The Mupa Rushemo tribe of the Jumachi tribe gradually became stronger, and the leader Jinzhu then took over the military and political power of Yelang, became the leader of the Yelang alliance, and established Jinzhu Yelang.

The rule of Jinzhu Yelang was the most powerful period in the history of Yelang, and it may also be the transition period of Yelang to feudal society. Unfortunately, the last king of Jinzhu Yelang unwisely angered the Han Dynasty and caused a disaster of the destruction of the country and the family. Yelang was roughly present for more than 300 years and was destroyed in the late Western Han Dynasty.

This is some of the narratives of Yelang in the archaeological world, but this mystery is still a mystery after all. Because there are debates about Yelang's location, historical circles and many places in society, we will only talk about the mysterious legends in the genealogy.

In early 2017, teachers from the Department of Archaeology prepared an extracurricular activity, which was to go to the Kolohem site to inspect.
