Laishui Homo sapiens Fossil
Laishui Homo sapiens, Tracing back thousands of years of civilization
In 1983, Ren Zhengqing, a villager from Beiqiao, Yesanpo, discovered a fossilized skeleton while digging a vegetable cellar. According to the Archaeology Department of Peking University, this fossil represents an adult male individual, approximately 161 centimeters long and 48 centimeters wide. After being determined by accelerator mass spectrometry at the NSF Accelerator Radioisotope Analysis Laboratory at the University of Arizona in the United States, the age of the fossil was 28000 years ago. The archaeological community named the fossil "Laishui Homo sapiens" based on its excavation site.

Leading the way in implementing democratic elections and establishing independent autonomy
In the Qing Dynasty, due to the reverence of the people of Sanpo for the Ming Dynasty, the Qing court exerted pressure on the people here, prohibiting them from participating in the imperial examination and revoking their right to seek 'fame and fortune'. At this time, some foreign bandits colluded with the government to extort money in Sanpo. The people's lives were not peaceful, so they elected the 'elderly shepherd' who had a strong family background and high expectations to manage all affairs within the slope. They were forced to organize slope protection armed forces to defend the village. Zhi Zai: 'Once the police are heard, regardless of the village boundary, each family will hold a soil gun and wooden stick and gather together to bravely lead the way.' Therefore, 'the decree of Chuzhuzhou County cannot be applied to Sanpo' and 'the people of Sanpo have no obligation except to receive food.
Due to the resistance of feudal forces, the Qing government imposed a "wild" character on the people of Sanpo. From then on, Zhuozhou took charge of Sanpo and implemented the "elderly servant system" within the slope, which has been passed down. The "Zhuozhou Chronicle" refers to the elderly system as "the forefront of democratic elections and the pioneer of independent autonomy." It continued until the 18th year of the Republic of China, when Zhuozhou began to establish a district under its jurisdiction, abolishing the "elderly servant system," and Ye Sanpo was named after it.

The King of Yan asked for the cauldron, the squirrel demanded the seal, and the Ding grain was exempted
Examining the historical evolution of Yesanpo, there is a folk song that has been passed down: "Yesanpo, Yesanpo, the King of Yan did not sweep the north. He wore a wild sparrow nest tied to his head and his shoes were raised. The Qing Dynasty did not allow him to enter the examination room, and generations of blood and tears were shed
This song is a historical portrayal of Yesanpo. According to the "Zhuozhou Chronicle", "In the early Ming Dynasty, King Yan (Zhu Di) led his army to sweep north to the Sanpo realm (Nucai Ridge) and saw wild beasts (squirrels) eating pine cones in the mountains. Wang Yi thought he would bow his hand and say, “If the beasts submit, how will the people do?” Then an imperial decree was issued to exempt Ding from grain production The saying that this place has been granted an imperial title is still widely circulated today.
