Historical evolution
Chengdu has a long and unique historical origin and extremely profound cultural accumulation. As early as about 4,500 to 3,700 years ago, a series of settlement centers of ancient Shu ancestors, known as the "Baodun Culture" in later generations, had appeared in the Chengdu Plain. City walls have been built in these settlement centers, and places for worship and gatherings have been built. Based on the large number of historical relics unearthed at the "Jinsha Site", it can be basically inferred that from the late Yin Shang Dynasty to the early Western Zhou Dynasty, the Chengdu area had become the central city of the ancient Shu Kingdom. ?
The origin of "Chengdu", according to the records of "Taiping Huanyu Ji", is borrowed from the historical process of the establishment of the capital in the Western Zhou Dynasty. It is based on the fact that the king of Zhou moved to Qi, where he settled in Ju in one year, a town in two years, and a city in three years. Chengdu was named the capital of Shu. The pronunciation of the word Chengdu in Shu language is the capital of Shu. Chengdu means the end of the Shu Kingdom, or the final city.
