"Lush fields, Prosperous people... vast fertile area, rich and plentiful, a heavenly place” 2000 years ago during the Han Dynasty writer Liu Xiang in his "war policy" had this description of Sichuan. Since then, Sichuan had the exclusive title: "Land of Abundance."To live in this beautiful and richly endowed land, Sichuanese created a splendid long lasting Ba-Shu culture. This culture and China’s other regional cultures are all important parts to form China’s culture. In year 1986 Guanghan in Sichuan discovered the Tristar piles ruins which proved to be more than 4,000 years old. The Ba-Shu culture has been gradually formed on a considerable scale over the long course of history.
Countless number of scenic spots, various local customs and styles, the beautiful Kangding love songs, the endless local special flavors and colors... “Land of abundance” the meaning extends here for infinity.
