Researchers discovered several human bones and burial groups from the Neolithic Age near the Niyang River in the 1970s, suggesting that humans in Nyingchi were engaged in slash-and-burn agriculture and led a relatively sedentary lifestyle as early as 4,000-5,000 years ago. Unearthed artifacts, including net pendants and arrowheads, indicate that the inhabitants of this region, along the ancient Niyang River, Yarlung Zangbo River, and ancient lakes, were involved in both cultivation and fishing activities along the riverbanks. Initially, Linzhi was under the dominion of the King of Kongpo. In the Sakya and Patrul epochs (13th-16th centuries), Nyingc ...
