Origin of the name of the province

Sichuan was established as a Shu county in the Qin Dynasty. Han belongs to Yizhou. During the Three Kingdoms period at the end of Han Dynasty, it was the territory of Shu. Most of the Tang Dynasty belonged to Jiannan Road, Shandong East Road and Shannan West Road. Sichuan is named after Yizi Likui Fourth Road. Chuanxia Road was established in the early Song Dynasty, and later it was divided into Xichuan Road and Xiaxi Road, collectively known as "Chuanxia Road". Xichuan Road was further divided into Yizhou Road and Zizhou Road, and Xiaxi Road was divided into Lizhou Road and Kuizhou Road. Collectively known as "Sichuan Gorge Four Roads", referred to as "Sichuan Road", the Sichuan system was set up during the period, which was the beginning of Sichuan's name. Later, Yizhou Road was changed to Chengdufu Road, Zizhou Road was changed to Tongchuanfu Road, and it was divided into Lizhou Road is Lizhou East and West Road. In the Yuan Dynasty, Sichuan Province and Sichuan Province and the Sichuan Road of Western Shu were established; in the Ming Dynasty, the Sichuan Chief Envoy Department was established; in the Qing Dynasty, Sichuan Province was reorganized; in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was divided into four administrative offices: Eastern Sichuan, Southern Sichuan, Western Sichuan, and Northern Sichuan, and later merged to restore Sichuan Province.

Ancient Shu Civilization

According to archaeological discoveries, human activities began in Sichuan more than 2 million years ago during the Early Paleolithic Age. There are four named Paleolithic cultural sites in Sichuan. Between 7 and 8 thousand years ago, the Sichuan region gradually entered the Neolithic Age. Neolithic age sites are widely distributed, and more than 200 sites have been discovered so far. The most representative ones include the Sanxingdui site in Guanghan, the Panliang site in Guangyuan, and the Lizhou site in Xichang.

About 4 to 5 thousand years ago, the Sichuan area entered the ancient legend period, which was roughly equivalent to the Xia, Shang and Zhou periods in the Central Plains. The ancient history legends at this time mainly related to the lineage and activities of the ancient kings of Sichuan. The more famous ones include Dayu Daojiang, Du Yu Huajuan, etc.

Although there are no historical records, archaeological excavations and oral traditions at Sanxingdui, Jinsha, Twelve Bridges and other sites prove that the Chengdu Plain had entered a slave society as late as the Shang Dynasty.

About the Xia and Shang dynasties, Shu tribes migrated from the area around Mao County to the Chengdu Plain. After the "Three Generations of Shu Kings", roughly equivalent to the Western Zhou Dynasty in the Central Plains, the Du Yu Dynasty was established. During this period, the capital of the Shu Kingdom was moved to Piyi (today's Pixian County). The Du Yu Dynasty adopted a hereditary monarchy system and was powerful. Its power basically covered the entire Sichuan Basin. Approximately equivalent to the early Spring and Autumn Period, Du Yu's Zen was located in Shu Ling, the Prime Minister of Shu who had made great achievements in controlling floods. Bieling established the Enlightenment Dynasty.

Warring States to Three Kingdoms

The Kaiming Dynasty established its capital in Guangdu (today's Shuangliu). At first, the country was strong. Around the 4th century BC, Kaiming Ninth Dynasty began to imitate the Chinese ritual and music system. He also moved the capital from Guangdu to Chengdu, which gave rise to the legend of Chang Honghua Bi. In the ninth year of Gengyuan (316 BC) of King Qin Huiwen, Qin prepared to unify the world and attacked Shu from the Shiniu Road.

After Qin captured Shu, it established Shu and Hanzhong counties. The Sichuan area gradually implemented the system of the Qin State and began to enter a feudal society. From King Zhaoxiang of Qin to King Zhuangxiang of Qin (227 BC to 247 BC), Li Bing served as the prefect of Shu County and took many major measures to develop Shu, such as building Dujiangyan, dredging the Jian and Pier rivers (today's Nanhe and Jinjiang), making the The Chengdu Plain became increasingly fertile, providing important material guarantee for Qin Shi Huang to unify China.

After the Western Han Dynasty, the society, economy, and culture of Sichuan area developed rapidly, and its prosperity exceeded that of Guanzhong area, so it was known as the "Land of Abundance", and the reputation continues to this day. During the reign of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, Weng Weng served as the prefect of Shu County and established China's first government-run school "Wen Weng Stone Room" in Chengdu. From then on, the academic style in Shu flourished, comparable to that in Qilu. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Gongsun Shu occupied Yizhou, named his country "Chengjia", and established his capital in Chengdu.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yizhou was divided again by Liu Yan and Liu Zhang's father and son (189-214 years). Later, Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor in Chengdu and was known as "Shu Han" in history (221~263). The Shuhan territory included today's Chongqing City, most of Sichuan Province, Yunnan Province, all of Guizhou Province, and small parts of Shaanxi Province and Gansu Province. This formed a situation in which the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu were in a state of coexistence. Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of the Shu Han Dynasty, worked hard to govern the country and made great social and economic development in Shu.

From the Jin Dynasty to the Sui and Tang Dynasties

In the first year of Yanxing (263 years), the queen of the Shu Han Dynasty, the Kingdom of Shu was destroyed by the Kingdom of Wei. Soon, Sima Yan established the Jin Dynasty.

In the late Western Jin Dynasty, in the third year of Yongxing (306), Li Xiong proclaimed himself emperor in Chengdu, and his country was named "Dacheng". In the fourth year of Xiankang in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (338), Li Xiong's nephew Li Shou changed the country's name to "Han", and it was collectively called "Cheng Han" in history. Chenghan was the earliest country established among the "Sixteen Kingdoms". In its heyday, its territory covered the Sichuan Basin and parts of the surrounding areas.

From the third year of Yonghe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (347) to the first year of Kaihuang in the Sui Dynasty (581), Sichuan was incorporated into the territory of the Sui Dynasty. Liang was the ruler of eight regimes in the Northern Dynasties: the Western Wei Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Due to political turmoil and frequent wars, the social economy is basically at a standstill.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the society in Sichuan was stable and the economy entered its heyday. There was a saying that "Yang (today's Jiangnan area) has one benefit and two benefits". During the Anshi Rebellion, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty took refuge in Shu. Later, many Tang Dynasty monarchs took refuge in Shu, such as Tang Dezong to avoid Zhu Pi's rebellion, and Tang Xizong to avoid Huangchao's uprising.

In the fourth year of Tang Tianyou (907), the Tang Dynasty was overthrown. Wang Jian and Meng Zhixiang established the Former Shu and Later Shu regimes in Sichuan, which lasted 18 and 31 years respectively. Both the former Shu and the later Shu adopted a policy of recuperation and recuperation. Since they were not involved in the battles in the Central Plains, Sichuan once became the most prosperous region in the country. In the third year of Qiande in the Northern Song Dynasty (965), the Song army destroyed Hou Shu.

Song and Yuan Dynasties to Ming and Qing Dynasties

There were many large-scale peasant uprisings in Sichuan during the Song and Yuan Dynasties, such as the Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun uprisings. Despite this, compared with other areas of the country, Sichuan was still relatively stable, allowing the social economy to continue to develop and becoming the rear area of ??the Song Dynasty to resist the Jin and Mongolia. The half-century-long war in Sichuan in the early Yuan Dynasty caused great damage to the economy.

In the fourth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1371), the Ming Dynasty sent troops to incorporate the Sichuan area into the territory of the Ming Dynasty. In addition to the current Chongqing City and Sichuan Province, the jurisdiction also included Zunyi, Guizhou Province, and northeastern Yunnan. Northwest Guizhou. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Xianzhong's peasant uprising army entered Sichuan and established the "Daxi" regime in Sichuan (1644-1646), with Chengdu as the Xijing. For more than 30 years in the early Qing Dynasty, Sichuan had been in war until the 20th year of Kangxi (1681) ) has entered a stable period. In the 24th year of Kangxi's reign, Huguang occupied Sichuan. In the first year of Jiaqing (1796), the Sichuan-Chu-Shaanxi White Lotus Sect uprising broke out in Sichuan. It took the Qing government nine years to suppress the uprising.

From the late Song Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty, the Sichuan region suffered from unprecedented wars, a sharp decline in population and economic restructuring. As a result, the imperial court launched two large-scale immigration movements in the early Ming and early Qing dynasties, which were historically known as "Huguang filled Sichuan". The two immigration movements enabled Sichuan, which lacked a population, to obtain a large number of laborers, and the social economy was rapidly restored.

Modern Civilization

In 1840, the Opium War opened the prelude to China’s modern history, but it was not until 1895 that Li Hongzhang and Japanese government representative Ito Hirobumi signed the Treaty of Shimonoseki, which stipulated Only by opening Chongqing, the gateway to Sichuan, as a treaty port could we truly enter the modern era. Sichuan's social and natural economy gradually collapsed and became semi-colonial, and national capitalism began to sprout in Sichuan.

In the 1860s, Shida entered Sichuan, and then the Chengdu Missionary Incident and the Boxer Uprising broke out. The road protection movement that broke out in Sichuan became the trigger for the Revolution of 1911. In 1911, Chengdu established an independent military government; in the first year of the Republic of China (1912), the road-level establishment was abolished and replaced by provincial governments, prefectures, departments, and counties. In 1913, Yuan Shikai attempted to restore the monarchy and implemented "military-civilian separation". He abolished provinces and changed routes, dividing Sichuan into 7 provinces: Western Sichuan, Upper Sichuan South, Lower Sichuan South, Northern Sichuan, Eastern Sichuan, and Biandong and Bianxi. Later, the name of Basin 5 was changed. They are Xichuan, Jianchang, Yongning, Jialing and Dongchuan. At the same time, the government, states, and offices were abolished and established, and the county was placed under the direct control of the road. In 1914, the Biandong and Bianxi roads were cut off, and the 30 counties west of Kangding County were designated as the Sichuan-bian special area (including the Qamdo area west of the Jinsha River), which was controlled by Sichuan Province.

During the Republic of China, warlords fought in Sichuan. From 1912 to 1933, there were no less than 480 major and minor wars. Sichuan's large and small warlords each dominate one side and govern their own affairs. In 1935, the Central Army of the Kuomintang entered Sichuan. In order to "suppress the Communist Party" and closely monitor local revolutionary activities, they followed the method of reducing administrative districts in Hubei, Henan, Anhui and other provinces, and divided Sichuan into 18 administrative inspection districts and Xikang administrative districts. The Supervisory Area (formerly Sichuanbian Special Area) was divided into Chongqing City (which later became the wartime capital and was promoted to a municipality directly under the Central Government) and Chengdu City. In 1939, the new county system was implemented, Baojia was organized, and townships were divided. In the same year, the original Xikang Administrative Supervision District and the 17th and 18th Administrative Supervision Districts of Sichuan were merged to establish Xikang Province and implement the separation of Sichuan and Kangxi. In the same year, Zigong City was added.

During the Second Civil Revolutionary War, the First, Second and Fourth Front Armies of the Chinese Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army entered Sichuan on a long march. From December 1932 to April 1935, the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army established the Sichuan-Shaanxi Revolutionary Base Area in northeastern Sichuan and the areas bordering Shaanxi, covering an area of ??more than 42,000 square kilometers and a population of 7 million. It was the second largest revolutionary base in the country at that time. base area.

With the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, various industrial and mining enterprises, universities and cultural groups along China's coast and rivers also moved inland to Sichuan, and Sichuan once again became China's rear area. At the same time, 3 million Sichuan troops came out of Sichuan to fight against Japan and made outstanding contributions to the Anti-Japanese War.
