History of Sichuan Province

The history of human activities in Sichuan can be traced back to 2 million years ago.

About 10,000 years ago, Sichuan entered the Neolithic Age. More than 200 ruins have been discovered so far, the most important of which is the Sanxingdui ruins in Guanghan.

About 4,000 years ago, an early city appeared in the hometown of Sanxing in Guanghan. An ancient civilization center was born in Sichuan at that time, which was the early Kingdom of Shu.

The Sichuan area has a written history of more than 3,000 years.

According to various documents handed down from ancient China, around the 30th century BC, the Yellow Emperor, the ancestor of China, married a daughter of the Shushan clan for his son Changyi. The daughter of the Shushan clan had a son named Gao Yang. Emperor Zhuanxu was famous in China and traveled all over the world.

Ancient documents also record that Xia Yu controlled floods in the Minshan area of ??the western Sichuan Plateau and in Chongqing in eastern Sichuan.

There are also documents saying that Dayu was born in Shiniu, Xichuan, in today's Beichuan County.

During the Yin and Zhou dynasties, two states were established in Sichuan: one was the Shu Kingdom in today's western Sichuan, centered on the ancient Shu people; the other was in today's eastern Sichuan (including today's Chongqing City) ), a country of Ba founded by the ancient Ba people as the center.

Therefore, the Sichuan area was called "Bashu" in ancient times.

In the 9th year of Queen Qin Huiwen’s reign (316 BC), after the two countries Ba and Shu were destroyed by Qin, Qin established Bajun and Shujun in the hometown of Bashu.

Since then, the Sichuan area has become an area under the jurisdiction of various dynasties in China.

In the fourth year of Xianping (1001) of Emperor Zhenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Sichuan-Shaanxi Road was divided into four roads: Yizhou, Zizhou, Lizhou and Kuizhou, referred to as Sichuan Road. From then on, the name "Sichuan" began , exactly 1,000 years ago.

In the 23rd year of the Yuan Dynasty (1286), the "Sichuan Province" was established, referred to as "Sichuan Province", which was the beginning of the establishment of the province of "Sichuan".

At the same time, a large number of prefectures and counties were added, subtracted and merged, basically forming the current county distribution pattern.

In the Ming Dynasty, Sichuan was one of the 13 provinces in the country. In addition to the current Sichuan and Chongqing, its jurisdiction also included Zunyi in present-day Guizhou Province, northeastern Yunnan and northwest Guizhou.

In the early Qing Dynasty, the country was divided into 18 provinces, and major adjustments were made to the provincial boundaries of Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou provinces, and the current southern provincial boundaries of Sichuan were basically determined.

During the Republic of China, warlords in Sichuan were fighting.

In 1935, the Central Army of the Communist Party of China entered Sichuan and divided Sichuan into 18 administrative inspection districts and the Xikang Administrative Supervision District (formerly the Sichuan Special District). Chengdu City (1928) and Chongqing City (1929 ).

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the administrative divisions of Sichuan were divided into Chongqing City, which was under the jurisdiction of the Southwest Military and Political Commission, and the four administrative regions of eastern Sichuan, southern Sichuan, western Sichuan, and northern Sichuan, as well as parts of Xikang Province.

In July 1952, the four administrative regions of eastern Sichuan, southern Sichuan, western Sichuan and northern Sichuan were merged to form Sichuan Province.

In June 1954, Chongqing City was changed to a municipality under the jurisdiction of Sichuan Province.

In October 1955, Xikang Province was abolished and most of its areas were placed under Sichuan Province.

From the same year to 1974, the border jurisdictions between Sichuan and Guizhou, Hubei, Shaanxi, Yunnan and other provinces were slightly adjusted.

In March 1997, Chongqing, Wanxian, Fuling, and Qianjiang cities were placed under the direct jurisdiction of the central government.

In 1998, Sichuan had 12 cities, 6 regions, 3 ethnic autonomous prefectures, and 180 counties (cities, districts) within its jurisdiction.

Currently, Sichuan Province governs 18 cities and 3 ethnic autonomous prefectures.
