Chongqing is located at the junction of central and western China, with rapid development of railway, waterway, highway, aviation and pipeline. Chongqing is the only mega-city in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in China, which gathers land, sea and air transportation resources and is a comprehensive transportation hub in southwest China. Main railways: lanzhou-chongqing railway, chengdu-chongqing railway, suining-chongqing railway, Chongqing-Lichuan Railway, Huai Yu Railway, Xiangyu Railway, Dawan Railway, Chongqing-Guizhou Railway and Chengdu-Chongqing High-speed Railway.
Railway stations: Chongqing Railway Station (Caiyuanba), Chongqing North Station (Longtou Temple), Chongqing West Station (Shangqiao), Shapingba Station (Shapingba) and Chongqing East Station (Tea Garden). Bayu culture is one of the most distinctive national cultures in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Bayu culture originated from Ba culture and refers to the regional culture formed by Ba people and Ba country in the historical development. Ba people have always lived between mountains and rivers. Influenced by the natural and sinister environment, they have developed a tenacious, tenacious and brave character, so the Ba people are famous for their bravery and good fighting. When the Pakistani army took part in the crusade against the Shang (Yin) war, it always sang the ballad of marching and danced with the charge, and went forward bravely, just as the ancient book said, "The king of Wu attacked Zhou and danced before the Song Dynasty."
In ancient times, Ba people were good at singing and dancing, and their song and dance content mainly evolved from "war dance" to Bayu dance, and later gradually became a court dance dedicated to performance. Bayu dance is a group dance, vigorous and powerful, full of momentum. In the Han Dynasty, Bayu Dance was listed as a court banquet and performed at court celebrations.
There are various types of labor songs in Chongqing folk songs. The trackers in the Three Gorges struggled with dangerous water and sang "Chuanjiang Song", while those who beat stones were "Masons Song" and those who carried sliding poles were "Road Song". Since ancient times, Ba people like to tell stories, and folk oral literature has a broad mass base. To this day, liking "telling stories" is still a major feature of Chongqing folk literature. In a narrow sense, Chongqing dialect refers to the "chuanhua" of Chongqing people, that is, two-part allegorical sayings or sleepy words. Seeing wisdom in humor is a special phenomenon in Chongqing dialect.
In the Ming Dynasty, a large number of Hunan and Guangdong residents entered Chongqing, which once accounted for more than 40% of the urban population in Chongqing. There are still immigrant dialect islands in the suburbs of Chongqing, and there are a large number of Hakka dialect areas and old Xiang dialect areas in western Chongqing, so Chongqing dialect is harder, straighter and flatter than other dialects of Southwest Mandarin.

In the Song Dynasty, "Tu Jing" said: "At the foot of the Tushan Mountain, there is a tree with a plum blossom, and there is a plum blossom crossing under it." . 1986 designated Castanopsis fissa as Chongqing tree.
