The Kayo Cultural Site was discovered in 1923 in Kayo Village and Xiaxihe Village in Yunguchuan, Huangzhong County. "Kayo" is a Tibetan place name, which means the flat land in front of the mountain pass. In the past, it was included in the "Siwa Culture" system. After 1949, archaeologists separated it from the Siwa Culture and named it "Kayo Culture" (formerly known as the Kayo Culture), on the grounds that the Siwa Culture and the Kayo Culture Culture has its own distribution area and cultural characteristics in terms of geographical distribution and cultural connotation. The Kayo culture is mainly distributed in the upper reaches of the Yellow River and its tributary Huangshui in Qinghai, involving more than 10 counties in Minhe, Ledu, Ping'an, Xining, Huzhu, Datong, Haiyan, Gangcha, Tongren and Huangzhong. , city, the distribution range is quite wide, a total of more than 200 sites or cemeteries have been found, a total of more than 1,000 tombs have been excavated, and the unearthed cultural relics are extremely rich. The Cayo culture has entered the Bronze Age because of the unearthed large number of bronze tools, although stone tools are still widely used. The Kayo culture dates back about 3,000 years ago, which is equivalent to the Western Zhou period in the Central Plains of my country. According to literature records, the only ancient inhabitants who were active in the Hehuang area around 1000 BC were the Qiang people. The Kayo culture is the cultural relic of the ancient Qiang people. During the development of ancient Chinese culture, the culture of the Central Plains once had a great influence on the surrounding areas, and at the same time, various cultures in the surrounding areas also had an important influence on the culture of the Central Plains, as did the Kayo culture. During the Bronze Age, the Qiang people participated in important political and military operations many times, and they also played a major role in the later historical periods.
