The origin of Bashu
Bashu refers to Sichuan Province and Chongqing City. Ba culture is centered on Chongqing, and Ba people established the first capital of Ba in Yicheng (now Changyang Tujia Autonomous County, Hubei Province). Later activities were held in Chongqing, western Hubei, eastern Sichuan, southwestern Shaanxi and northern Guizhou. Shu was a fusion of three ancient tribes, and later became a feudal country in the Western Zhou Dynasty, spreading Shu to the same origin as Xia and Yuxing to Xiqiang. Including western Sichuan, southern Shaanxi and northern Yunnan, Ba and Shu together are Bashu.

History of Bashu: Bashu was a regional name in the pre-Qin period, and it was also the name of a local political power. Its jurisdiction is mainly in today's Sichuan Province and Chongqing, with Pakistan in the east of Sichuan Basin (Langzhong, Sichuan) and Shu in the west (Chengdu, Sichuan).

The area around Chengdu was originally under the jurisdiction of the ancient Shu State. In the 4th century BC, Wang Mingkai V (or Ming Kai IX) of the ancient Shu kingdom moved its capital from Fan Xiang (now Huayang, Chengdu) to Chengdu.

During the reign of King Hui of Qin, the Duke of Shu, who was sealed in Hanzhong, made friends with Pakistan, while Shu made friends with Pakistan, which caused the displeasure of Shu. "Huayang Guozhi" records: "In the past, the king of Shu gave his brother Hou in Hanzhong, and he was called Meng because of his life. This was Hou He's good idea, and Ba and Shu were enemies, so they were very angry and cut Shu. Chibumba, ask Qin for help. Qin sent Zhang Yi to attack Shu from the meridian. " Qin Wanghui destroyed Shu in 3 16 BC. King Hui of Qin also destroyed Kuang and Ba.

According to legend, at the end of Yin Dynasty, Ba and Shu both took part in the war in Zhou Wuwang. Later, it was Wang Yin, and Zeng Lizong was based on Ba and gave his son a title. Probably, the country was established in the middle reaches of the Han River. Bati people started from Chenggu, Shaanxi, passed Ankang, went to Xiangyang, Hubei, and then returned to Badong and Yufu (now Fengjie). During the Spring and Autumn Period, Ba had contacts with neighboring countries such as Qiang, Deng, Shen and Chu, and had a marriage relationship with Chu. However, it was later annexed by Chu State and became Hanzhong County of Chu State. At that time, there was a kind of bitter orange in Fuling, Sichuan, which was destroyed by Chu at the end of the Warring States Period. After Qin destroyed Shu, it also destroyed Pakistan with Langzhong as its capital. Later, he took a large piece of land from the State of Chu and established Ba County. The Qin dynasty destroyed Ba and Shu, which prepared the conditions for further destroying Chu and unifying the six countries. [4]?

After the unification of the six countries in the pre-Qin period, Ba County and Shu County were the county-level administrative divisions of China's ancient regime, which governed most areas of the Sichuan Basin.
