Abstract

Abstract: An analysis of The historical narrative of "Du Guangting's Sojourn in Nanzhao" reveals that this narrative was formed
through the renowned Tang Daoist figure Du Guangting by constructing, grafting, and appropriation. During the Nanzhao period, this
narrative served as a discouerse text through which Nanzhao sought to construct an identity aligned with Tang Dynasty, while also
functioning as a tool for internal ideological governance. Subsequently, this narrative underwent continuous "layered accumulation",
eventually forming a localized discourse. The narrative gradually evolved into a form of Benzhu worship, which has been preserved and
continues to exert influence to now. Du Guangting Benzhu worship represents a vibrant local historical narrative, embodying a historical
microcosm of how local ruler and local people actively aligned themselves with central monarchy and central plains culture. It stands as
a testament to forging of a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation.

Key words: historical narrative, Nanzhao royal power, Du Guangting, identification
