Ba–Shu culture

Ba–Shu culture (Chinese: 巴蜀文化; pinyin: Bāshǔ wénhuà; Wade–Giles: Pa-Shu wên-hua), sometimes also named Chongqing–Sichuan culture, refers to the culture of Sichuan province and Chongqing city, China and the surrounding areas, including parts of the neighboring provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou, since the Han Chinese subgroups in these two provinces also primarily speak Southwestern Mandarin nowadays. It has a long history of over 3000 years, claimed to be one of the cradles of modern Chinese civilization.[1][2][3]
