As early as 1 1 century BC, that is, during the Western Zhou Dynasty, Chongqing was the core of Pakistan at that time, and Sichuan was Shu. Both belong to vassal States and have no affiliation with each other. After the Qin Dynasty unified China, Ba County and Shu County were established respectively, and it was not until the Han Dynasty that they changed for the first time.
During the Han Dynasty, Ba County and Shu County merged, and this area was called Yizhou. In the later Three Kingdoms period, Yizhou also became the main base of Liu Bei. Subsequently, the war continued, the administrative area narrowed, and Chongqing and Sichuan became independent again. In the Tang Dynasty, the administrative areas were divided by "Dao", Sichuan belonged to Jiannan Road and Chongqing belonged to Shannan Road.
It was not until the Song Dynasty that the name "Sichuan" officially appeared. In the Song Dynasty, Sichuan was divided into four roads (the Tao of the Tang Dynasty), among which Chongqing began to belong to Sichuan. After Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, Chongqing's Sichuan attribute was further strengthened.
During the Republic of China and War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Chongqing became independent as a capital or municipality directly under the Central Government. At the beginning of the founding of New China, before 1954, Chongqing was also a municipality directly under the central government. Later, it was reduced to a prefecture-level city and was under the jurisdiction of Sichuan. Until 1997, Chongqing became a municipality directly under the central government again.
It is precisely because Chongqing belongs to Sichuan for a long time that it resumed its status as a municipality directly under the central government after 1997, which led to many disputes between the two places. For example, the following brands and names are easily confused.
Laosichuan
The traditional skills of old Sichuan beef, and thus extended the brand of "old Sichuan". From this name alone, anyone will think that it comes from Sichuan. In fact, it is an out-and-out Chongqing brand and an intangible cultural heritage in Yuzhong District.
The traditional beef skills in old Sichuan mainly include three soups of beef and three meats of beef. The third soup is beef stew soup, medlar oxtail soup and Shashen bullwhip soup, and the third meat is Deng Ying beef, refined beef and spiced braised beef, which has been passed down to the fourth generation. The old Sichuan brand is no longer limited to three soups and three meats, and it has more vitality after commercial development. However, old Sichuan belongs to Chongqing, which no one can refute.
Tianfu cola
Tianfu Coke, because it has the title of "Land of Abundance", people naturally think of Chengdu first and will put it in Sichuan. In fact, the "land of abundance" did not represent Chengdu at first, but the Guanzhong Plain. It was not until the emergence of "Yizhou is in danger, fertile land is thousands of miles away, and Gaozu became emperor because of it" that Chengdu gradually became the exclusive place of the word "land of abundance".
Tianfu Coke was born in 1980s and is famous for its unique Chinese herbal medicine formula. Once the scenery was infinite, the cooperation with Pepsi disappeared for a time and finally came back on 20 16. Tianfu Coke formula was provided by Chongqing Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine (formerly Sichuan Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine). Now, they have developed a brand-new red shield cola, which replaces Chinese herbal medicine with natural fruit. Now it has been listed on a small scale. I believe we won't misunderstand this time.
Xiaolongkan hotpot
Moreover, Xiaolongkan hot pot has also been exposed to many food safety problems, whether it is the management omissions of individual stores or the common problems of the whole catering industry, which will not be discussed here. Just the name Xiaolongkan, Chongqing people have a lot to say. As a hot pot brand in Chengdu, why do you have to use a place name of Chongqing, and this brand did not exist before Chongqing was directly under the central government, but only appeared in recent years. You know, Chongqing has been directly under the jurisdiction for 2 1 year.
As mentioned above, whether it is old Sichuan or Tianfu Coke, their birth has certain historical factors and they have obtained registered trademarks. Xiaolongkan has not yet obtained a registered trademark, and the reason is believed to be understood by everyone.
Sichuan fine arts institute/Sichuan International Studies University
As two universities named after "Sichuan" in Chongqing, their names are reasonable because of the time of their establishment. But when enrolling students, it always gives people the feeling of going to Sichuan. Because of the national popularity and brand effect of "Chuanmei" and "Chuanwai", it is not appropriate to change the name now.
If it really becomes "Chongqing Academy of Fine Arts" or "Chongqing International Studies University", it is estimated that it will be mistaken for a junior college. Some netizens teased, maybe one day it will be renamed as "Southwest Academy of Fine Arts" and "Southwest International Studies University".
In any case, from the historical origin and geographical location, Chongqing and Sichuan are inseparable. Even though there is some friction between us, the phrase "Sichuan and Chongqing are closely related" is a good testimony to the relationship between Chongqing and Sichuan. Finally, to reiterate the focus of this article, I don't want to trigger an argument between the two places, but discuss it according to the facts. There are * * * connections and differences between Chongqing and Sichuan, but what should be made clear must be made clear.
