"Looking at the red and wet place at dawn, the flowers are heavy on Jinguancheng", where did the city of Jinguancheng originate?

?Jinguancheng is another name for Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province today. When I was a child, I read the Tang poem "Look at the red and wet place at dawn, and the flowers are heavy in Jinguancheng". I seemed to be able to smell the fragrance of vegetation from the poem. , see the scene of white dew touching flowers and clear dew hanging down. In particular, a city can be described by the word "brocade", which makes the colorful brocade flash in the mind.

Clusters of colorful flower clouds, as bright as red clouds, were wetted by the rain and stained, hanging casually over the city. As I read the poem, I shook my head, as if the smell, color, and humidity lingered on the tip of my tongue, under my nose, and before my eyes. I fell in love with this poem and this city.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the Shu Han Dynasty established Jingguan City in Chengdu, which was named after the city where brocade craftsmen were concentrated and managed. Historically, this was the main production area and distribution center of Shu Brocade. Li Ying of the Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties wrote in his "Yizhou Ji": "Jincheng is located in the south of Yizhou, on the south bank of the Liujiang River west of the Zhengqiao Bridge. It was the former Jinguan in the days of Shu. It was named Jinli, and the city walls are still there. "In the Tang and Song Dynasties, the hibiscus flowers in Chengdu were in full bloom, so Chengdu was also called Jincheng. Du Fu once wrote a poem: "Looking at the red and wet place at dawn, the flowers are heavy on Jinguan City."

Therefore, Chengdu is called Jinguan City, Jincheng, and Furong City. Another saying is - Jincheng: Sichuan is a sericulture producing area in China, and Shu brocade was already famous in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The ancients used the river flowing through Chengdu to paint brocade, which was bright in color. Because the people who were painting brocade continued along the river, the river water appeared It is colorful and gorgeous, so it is called Jincheng.

In the Shu Han Dynasty, there was an official in charge of brocade, and the station was called Jincheng City, so it was called Jincheng. In Du Fu's poem, "the mountains outside Jinchuan City" refer to Jincheng.

The Han Dynasty followed the Qin system, and Chengdu was still the seat of Shu County. In the 5th year of Yuanfeng (106 BC), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established Yizhou with the Bashu region as the center, and Chengdu became the seat of the Yizhou governor. For more than two thousand years, Chengdu has been the political, economic, military and cultural center of Southwest China, and this status has never changed.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the city of Chengdu was rebuilt, and the southern small city was built on the basis of the original small city. The opposite city of King Shu was called the northern small city. With the addition of Jinguan City, the three cities were connected to form a large city, which was called " New Town". During the Western Han Dynasty, Chengdu's silk weaving industry was at its peak.
