In the Tang Dynasty (6 18-907), Chengdu was known as "Yang (Yangzhou) first, and Yi (Chengdu) second"; At that time, it had become the economic center after Yangzhou. During the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-8 AD), brocade produced in Chengdu was very popular in China. So Chengdu is also called Chengdu. During the Five Kingdoms period (907-960), Meng Changjun, the king of the late Shu Dynasty, ordered the planting of hibiscus on the protective wall of the city, so Chengdu was also called Hibiscus City. As one of the famous historical and cultural cities in China, Chengdu is rich in tourism resources. 15,500 years ago, Zuo Si, a famous poet in the State of Jin, praised the sublimity and beauty of Chengdu.
