In the Three Kingdoms period, Shu Han set up Jinguan City in Chengdu, which was named after the concentration of brocade craftsmen and the management of brocade. Historically, it was the main producing area and distribution center of Shu brocade.

Mars, Liang of the Southern Dynasties, wrote in Yizhou Ji: "Jincheng is in the south of Yizhou, and the bridge is on the south bank of Tongjiang. He used to be a famous minister of Shu. Its land is Jinli, and the city is still there. " During the Tang and Song Dynasties, Chengdu was full of hibiscus flowers, so it was also called Jincheng. Du Fu once wrote a poem: "Look at the red and wet place, the flowers in Jinguancheng are heavy."

Chengdu, referred to as Rongcheng and Jincheng for short, is the capital of Sichuan Province, the only sub-provincial city in southwest China, a mega-city, an important national high-tech industrial base, commercial logistics center and comprehensive transportation hub, and an important central city in western China.

In 20 17, the city administered 20 districts (cities) and counties, high-tech zones and Tianfu New District directly under Chengdu, with an area of14,600 square kilometers, a permanent population of16 million, a GDP of130 billion yuan and an urbanization rate of 70.6%.
