Sichuan has a long history, vast territory and rich resources, and has enjoyed the reputation of "Land of Abundance" since ancient times. Sichuan is a typical immigrant society. Immigrants come from all over the country, and the customs of each place are infiltrated and integrated, eventually forming unique cultural characteristics.

The collision of Central Plains culture, South Guangdong culture, Wu Yue culture, Chu culture and Bashu culture formed in the pre-Qin period is long-lasting and intense. However, the process of collision is also a process of integration, resulting in the birth of a new culture different from the original ancient Shu culture.

In 759 AD (the second year of Gan Yuan, Tang Suzong), poet Du Fu fled the war-torn Central Plains and came to Chengdu from Huazhou via Qin Zhou and Tonggu. He was very surprised. This strong sense of surprise even overshadowed his feelings during the difficult journey. He even forgot to complain about the difficulty of Shu Dao in the poem "Chengdufu" and just exclaimed loudly: "I walked between different mountains and rivers, and suddenly I came to the same side. But seeing new people, I don't know my hometown. "
