1, administrative level. Sichuan is a province, while Chongqing is a municipality directly under the central government. In other words, Chongqing is at the same level as Beijing, Shanghai and Tianjin in terms of administrative level, while Sichuan is at the same level as Hebei and Jiangsu provinces. Compared with Sichuan, Chongqing has more obvious advantages in location, politics and economy, and enjoys more preferential policies.

2. Geographical location and title. Sichuan, referred to as Sichuan or Shu for short, is mainly mountainous, with four types of landforms: mountains, hills, plains and plateaus. Because of the fertile land, rich products, rich resources and beautiful scenery, it is known as the "land of abundance". Chongqing, referred to as Chongqing or Ba for short, is located in the eastern part of the basin, with the terrain inclined from north to south to the Yangtze River valley, with hills and mountains as the main landforms, accounting for 76% of its mountains, and is known as the "mountain city". The climate is warm in winter and early in spring, hot in summer and cool in autumn. The Yangtze River traverses the territory from west to east, with a flow of 679 kilometers.

Today, they are all provincial administrative units. The source can be traced back to ancient Pakistan and Shu. But in the past few hundred years, in fact, Chongqing (Ba or Chongqing) and Sichuan (Shu or Sichuan) both belong to a concept of great Sichuan, and Chongqing is also called East Sichuan. For example, Yizhou, which we are familiar with during the Three Kingdoms period, had Ba County (Chongqing) and Shu County (Sichuan) under its jurisdiction.

Historically, Chengdu has long belonged to the "provincial capital" in the jurisdiction of Great Sichuan. For example, the "state governance" of Yizhou is Chengdu. After Liu Bei entered Shu, his capital was also in Chengdu. Only today, after Chongqing was directly under the central government, Chongqing, as a provincial administrative unit, has developed rapidly, and it has a sense of coexistence with Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan.

Extended data

An administrative unit refers to a unit that carries out state administration, organizes economic and cultural construction, and maintains social order, mainly including state power organs, administrative organs, judicial organs, and other organs and political parties that implement budget management. It is different from the administrative organs, and the concept here is mainly financial.
