A Brief History of Sichuan
by Duan Yu
About This Novel
Sichuan was called Bashu in ancient times, or Shu for short. Sichuan is located in the hinterland of southwest China and at the hub of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. It has a vast territory and numerous ethnic groups. It has been known as "a natural treasure with abundant resources and outstanding people" since ancient times. Although it is far away from the Central Plains, its historical evolution pace is generally consistent with that of the Central Plains. In most historical periods, Sichuan has enjoyed political clarity, economic development, and cultural prosperity, and has always been regarded as the strategic rear area of the motherland. Therefore, the fertile fields of Shu are thousands of miles away, and they are called land and sea. When there is a drought, water will be diverted to infiltrate it, and when it rains, the water gates will be blocked. Therefore, it is recorded that "floods and droughts follow people, and they don't know about famine." There are no famine years, and the world calls it Tianfu.
