Chengdu Plain and Minjiang River Basin are rich in water resources, pleasant climate and abundant products, which provide good conditions for people of all ethnic groups in ancient Shu to thrive, collect, plant, fish, hunt and raise, and thus create a unique cultural model and civilization type.

As far as people, the main body of culture, are concerned, ancient Shu has a large population. Since ancient times, there have been more than ten nationalities such as Han, Tibetan and Qiang in Chengdu Plain and Minjiang River Basin. The creators and enjoyment of these cultures have their own unique customs, religious beliefs, traditional festivals, costumes and unique festival songs, which have injected rich and colorful contents into Shu culture.

Shu culture is essentially an inland agricultural culture, and its origin and development are closely related to water control. In ancient Shu, there were not only agricultural civilizations famous for controlling water by Dayu and Li Bing, but also early industrial and commercial development.
