Sichuan was called Bashu in ancient times. How important is Sichuan to China?
Bashu is rich in resources and has superior terrain. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.
The Qin State unified the world in one fell swoop during the Warring States Period, and we can speculate that the reason why the Qin State was able to unify the world at that time had something to do with its location. It was precisely because the Qin State had unique resources and terrain advantages in Shu that it was able to gradually become stronger during the Warring States Period. There is also another person in history who also achieved success because of the geographical location of Bashu, and that was Liu Bang.
The Chu-Han conflict between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu was a very important event in the history of our country. The main reason why Liu Bang, who was born in a lowly position at that time, was able to compete with the overlord of Chu was because Liu Bang occupied the throne at that time. Sichuan, this extremely important geomantic treasure land, has many similar historical facts. Therefore, it can be seen that the role of Sichuan in the development and prosperity of a country cannot be ignored.
Historians and geographers believe that the reason why Bashu became a battleground for military strategists is because Sichuan itself has extremely rich water and mineral resources, followed by Sichuan's topography. It is the most typical terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Therefore, in the eyes of military strategists, this land is a treasure land that must be captured. Over time, the old saying that China will not perish is as long as Sichuan is destroyed. And this is also a common saying that has gradually spread based on facts.
In general, Sichuan has been a land that our country attaches great importance to since ancient times. It has the world-famous Dujiangyan and the lovely giant panda base. When you arrive in Sichuan, you will be attracted by it. The culture and history attract it, so it is a treasure of our country.
