在贵州，有段历史叫“夜郎”。
In Guizhou, there is a history called "Yelang".
说起贵州，你可能会想到“夜郎自大”，殊不知，这是个传了千年的误解。
那这夜郎国究竟是什么样子的呢？
Speaking of Guizhou, you may think of "Yelang Zida"(Yelang people think their country is bigger than China.), however, it turned out to be a misunderstanding for thousands of years.
So what exactly is the state of Yelang like?

历经岁月的沉淀，直到1958年，“夜郎国”这段尘封了2000多年的历史，才逐渐浮出水面。
After years of precipitation, it was not until 1958 that the history of "Yelang Kingdom" that had been covered in dust for more than 2,000 years gradually surfaced.
套头葬
战国秦汉时期的夜郎，是西南夷地区重要的交通枢纽，东向通过沅水联系荆楚，西向沟通滇国，北向直抵巴蜀，南向牂柯江而舟达南越，周边各文化特色器物汇聚于此。
Yelang from the Warring States Period to the Han dynasty was an important transportation hub in the Southwestern Barbarians area.
It connects Jingchu in the east through the Yuan River, with the Dian Kingdom in the west, reaches Bashu in the north, and Nanyue in a boat through the Zangke River in the south.
Diverse cultural implements gathered here.
因此，西汉武帝为平定南越、开通西南丝绸之路，两次出使夜郎。
于此地界先后设立犍为郡、牂柯郡，而后，夜郎与汉的经济交流日益密切，逐渐融入华夏。
Therefore, Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty set up Qianwei Prefecture and Zangke Prefecture successively in this area in order to pacify Nanyue and open the Southwest Silk Road.
Yelang and Han economic exchanges became increasingly close, and Yelang gradually integrated into China.
两千多年来，泥土虽然将它们掩埋，时光却未曾将它们遗忘。
For more than two thousand years, although the soil buried them, time has never forgotten.
如今，在考古工作者几十年的努力下，终于可以让我们，通过套头葬、青铜短剑等一件件文物，重现那段遥远又辉煌的过往。
Today, thanks to decades of hard work by archaeologists, we can finally reproduce that distant but glorious past through pieces of cultural relics such as Bury With One's Head Covered and Bronze Daggers.
