Historical evolution

Historical evolution
Original name
In the fourth year of Xianping in the Northern Song Dynasty (1001), Sichuan Xialu, located in the Sichuan Basin, was divided into Yizhou Road, Zizhou Road, Lizhou road and Kuizhou Road, which were collectively referred to as "Sichuan Xia Fourth Road" or "Sichuan Road". In the meantime, Sichuan pacification system was set up to set up the official posts, such as Sichuan Xuanfu envoy, which was later referred to as "Sichuan", which was named Sichuan.
Evolution of organizational system
Sichuan began to develop human civilization 25000 years ago, and formed a highly developed ancient Shu civilization in the late Neolithic period, which represented by Baodun culture, Sanxingdui site and Jinsha site. Ancient Shu civilization, Chinese civilization and Liangzhu civilization are also called the three civilizations of the ancient China.
In summer, it was Baipu, and the records of Huayang state contained that "will Yuexian county (now Huili County in Sichuan Province) be the residence of PU, and there are Pu people's graves". In the Shang and Zhou dynasties, Sichuan established Shu state centered by ancient Shu nationality; therefore, Sichuan area was called Shu in ancient times.
In the Xia and Shang Dynasties, the Shu tribe migrated down the Minjiang River from Maoxian to Chengdu Plain.
After the "three generations of Shu king", it was about the same as the early Western Zhou Dynasty (1045 BC), the Duyu Dynasty of ancient Shu was established, and was settled in Yufu (Wenjiang District of Chengdu today), and then moved to Pixi (Pidu District of Chengdu). The Duyu Dynasty adopted the hereditary monarchy system, and its influence basically covered the whole Sichuan Basin.
In the early spring and Autumn period (666 years ago), Duyu Zen was located in the soft turtle Ling in Shu phase. The turtle Ling established the Kaiming Dynasty, and was settled in Guangdu (now Huayang, Chengdu). During the reign of Dushan in Kaiming Dynasty, it was moved to Chengdu (367 years ago).
During the Warring States period (the first 316 years), Qin merged Shu and Ba States, and now set up Shu county (governing Chengdu) in the west of Sichuan and Bashan in East Sichuan (Jiangzhou, that is, Jiangbei District of Chongqing). In the fifty ninth year of King Nan of Zhou Dynasty (256 BC), Li Bing, the head of the state of Shu, took advantage of the previous experience in water control and presided over the construction of a famous Dujiangyan water conservancy project.
In the five years of the first six years of the first six years of the first five years of the first Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty established 13 State Department of assassination history and Yizhou provincial history department in the whole country. The jurisdiction of Yizhou was roughly equivalent to the whole Sichuan Basin and Hanzhong area, forming the rudiment of Sichuan. In Han Dynasty, Sichuan was first known as "land of abundance".
In the five years (24 years) of the new emperor Mang, Gongsun said that he occupied Yizhou and became emperor in Chengdu. He took the meaning of Chengdu and became a family.
In the 12th year of the Eastern Han Dynasty (36 years), Yizhou was under the jurisdiction of the Han government. After the uprising of yellow scarf, Liuyan, the animal husbandry in Yizhou, and Liu Zhang, were separated from Sichuan and then destroyed by Liu Bei.
In the first year of Yankang in the Eastern Han Dynasty (220), Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty. The following year (221), Liu Bei became emperor in Chengdu, and continued the Han Dynasty, with the national name of Han Dynasty, and the history of Shu Han. In the heyday of Shu and Han Dynasties, Jingzhou and Yizhou were occupied. However, after Guan Yu lost Jingzhou and Liu Bei defeated Yiling, he was greatly injured. After that, he managed the country by Zhugeliang to restore production, which made it possible to fight against Wei and Wu.
In the fourth year of weijingyuan (263), the Han Dynasty in Shu was defeated and divided into Yiliang Prefecture and lianger Prefecture, respectively, eight counties.
In the late Western Jin Dynasty, Li te led the exiles to gain benefits and liangerzhou. In the third year of Yongxing (306), Li Xiong, the son of Li te, was named emperor in Chengdu and was named "Dacheng". In the four years of Xiankang (338), Li Shou, nephew of Li Xiong, changed his national name to Han, and was called "Chenghan". The Han Dynasty was the first country in the sixteen countries, and its territory covered Sichuan Basin and some surrounding areas during its full prosperity. In the third year of Yonghe (347), Dacheng was destroyed by the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
From the north to the south to the Sui Dynasty, it was under the rule of Liu Song, Nanqi, Nanliang, Western Wei, Northern Zhou and Sui dynasties.
After the establishment of Tang Dynasty in the first year of Wude (618), Sichuan was located in Jiannan Road, Shannan East and West Road. Yizhou was changed to Jiannan Road, Liangzhou was Shannan West Road, and nearly 300 counties were built. In the Western Sichuan Plateau, many Jiju Prefecture and county have been set up to strengthen the management of minority areas. Today, Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture is under the regime of Nanzhao.
In Sui and Tang Dynasties, Sichuan was stable in society and economy entered a full period, which was said to "promote one benefit and two". In the chaos of Anshi, Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty took refuge in Shu. Fortunately, Qingyang palace was promoted to Chengdu Prefecture. Then there were two emperors of Tang Dynasty who took refuge in Shu, namely, the Tang Dezong evaded the chaos of Zhu arsenic (Dezong fled to Liangzhou, the Western way in the south of the mountain, and was then Shu), and the Tang Dynasty shied away from the Yellow nest uprising.
During the Five Dynasties, Wang Jian and mengzhixiang successively established the former and post Shu regimes in Sichuan, which lasted 18 years and 31 years respectively.
The three years of Qiande (965) were under the rule of the Song Dynasty. In the fourth year of Xianping in the Northern Song Dynasty (1001), Sichuan is divided into four roads: Yizhou (now Chengdu), Zizhou (today's Santai), Lizhou (now Guangyuan), Kuizhou (Fengjie, Chongqing today), which is collectively called "Sichuan Xia Fourth Road" or "Sichuan Road". In the meantime, Sichuan was established as a envoy, and Sichuan was named accordingly.
In the late Southern Song Dynasty, song and Mongolia fought for half a century (1227-1279) around Sichuan. Due to the tenacious resistance of the military and the people in Sichuan, the population was reduced and the economy was depressed.
From the Yuan Dynasty to the 23rd year of the Yuan Dynasty (1286), Sichuan Xiasi road was merged, and "Sichuan Province" was set up, which was referred to as "Sichuan Province", and the name of "Sichuan Province" was born since then. It was the beginning of the construction of the province for "Sichuan", and the provincial yamen was stationed in Chengdu Fu Lu. Sichuan Province includes the Middle East of Sichuan, Chongqing, southern Gansu and southern Shaanxi. Meanwhile, the distribution pattern of the counties has been basically formed. At that time, the northern Sichuan Plateau and Hanzhong Basin were changed to "Shaanxi Province and other places in the Bank of China". Today, Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture is a "Yunnan Province and other branches of the Bank of China".
In Ming Dynasty, in the fourth year of Hongwu (1371), Zhu Yuanzhang destroyed the great Xia state. Sichuan is one of the 13 government envoys in China. Besides Sichuan and Chongqing, Sichuan Province includes Zunyi City, Northeast Yunnan Province and Northwest Guizhou Province. It has reached the plateau and Liangshan area of Western Sichuan Province. The government of the political secretary is stationed in Chengdu government.

In the late Ming Dynasty, Zhang Xianzhong established the "Daxi" regime, which ruled most of Sichuan Basin. At the end of Ming and early Qing Dynasty, Sichuan experienced years of war and chaos, with a sharp decrease in population and devastation. "Sichuan Tongzhi" reads: "since the Han and Tang Dynasties, Sichuan has had a lot of teeth, smoke and fire, and after the war in the late Ming Dynasty, Dingkou is rare as the morning star."
In the early Qing Dynasty, 18 provinces were divided into the mainland of China, and Sichuan Province was the first. The provincial boundaries of Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou were greatly adjusted. Zunyi was changed to Guizhou and Eastern Sichuan was transformed into Yunnan. The southern province of Sichuan was basically determined. And through the lake wide filling Sichuan movement to restore productivity. In the middle of Qing Dynasty, five roads were added on the government, state, hall and county, namely: chengmian longmao Road, Jianchang Shangnan Road, Yongning road in South Sichuan, North Sichuan Road and East Sichuan Road, which governed the prefecture, state, hall and county in the region. From the beginning of Qing Dynasty to the end of Qing Dynasty, the local minorities inhabited in Western Sichuan Plateau were "changed to return to the flow".
In 1911, the campaign of road protection broke out in Sichuan, which opened the prelude of the 1911 Revolution, and then established the "Sichuan army government of the Han Dynasty" in Chengdu, declaring that it was separated from the Qing Dynasty.
In the first year of the Republic of China (1912), the Sichuan military government was reorganized into the governor of Sichuan Province of the Republic of China, and the first level construction of the road was revoked, and the provincial government, state, department and county was changed to the provincial government, state, department and county, with the capital located in Chengdu government.

It is divided into 18 administrative supervision areas and Xicang administrative supervision areas (original Sichuan special area). In early March, Chiang took the opportunity to visit Sichuan, which was the first time in his life to step on the land of Sichuan. Jiang Jieshi vigorously reorganized the military, financial and transportation facilities in Sichuan, effectively strengthening the influence of the national government in Sichuan.
In September, in 26 years of the Republic of China (1937), Sichuan Army soldiers held a general meeting of the oath of war of resistance against Japanese in Shaocheng Park (today's people's Park) in Chengdu. During the Anti Japanese War, about 3.5 million Sichuan people went out to fight against Japan and kept their families and defend the country, leaving a good saying that "the Sichuan people never took the country".
