Chengdu

From the Hanyu Pinyin romanization of the Mandarin 成都 (Chéngdū), supposedly bestowed upon it during its first founding by the ninth king of the Shu Kingdom's Kaiming dynasty when he removed his court there from nearby Pi County.

As the United States lashed out against the “new tyranny” of China, Beijing on Friday ordered the closure of the American consulate in Chengdu, a retaliatory move that threatens to drive the two powers into an even deeper divide.
Beijing blamed the Trump administration for the deterioration in relations, calling its own action justified after Washington told China this week to shutter its consulate in Houston and accused its diplomats of acting illegally. A Chinese official, in turn, denounced American diplomats in Chengdu, a southwestern city, for interfering in China’s affairs.

峨眉 derives from the word 蛾眉 (éméi, “the feathery feelers of a moth”), so named because the peaks of Mount Emei do in fact resemble the feelers of a moth (see pictures). The “insect” radical (虫) on the left side of the first character 蛾 (é) was later replaced with the “mountain” radical (山 (shān)). Thus, 蛾 (é) eventually became 峨 (é), so as to denote the mountain. The “mountain” radical can be optionally added to the second character 眉 (méi). Both 峨嵋 (Éméi) and 峨眉 have been used through the centuries. 山 (shān) simply means “mountain”.

The continued discovery of Jinsha Site in 2001 after Sanxingdui might provide a persuasive reference to the myth of Sanxingdui civilization.

Other smaller sites nearby have been identified as Shu kingdom sites, but Jinsha is by far the largest and has the most valuable artefacts and largest structures and so is believed to have been the capital city. It is now thought that when Sanxingdui was abandoned, the Shu capital moved to Jinsha until its mysterious decline around 600 BC.

Finally, an early Bronze Age site about four kilometers square has been discovered at Chin-sha, some thirty-eight kilometers west of San-hsing-tui.²⁶ Although the numerous artifacts and divinatory practices indicate strong Shang influence, Chin-sha has been interpreted as the center of another independent, peripheral people sufficiently powerful to challenge the Shang.

Two golden orioles sing amid the willows green;
A flock of white egrets flies into the blue sky.
My window frames the snow-crowned western mountain scene;
My door oft says to eastward-going ships “Goodbye!”.

Tang dynasty, Du Fu (杜甫), 《絕句》 (A Quatrain), translated by Xu Yuanchong

Anning

THE second day after leaving Hui-li-chou we entered the valley of the Anning Ho, a grey, fast-flowing stream whose course runs parallel with the meridian like all the others of that interesting group of rivers between Assam and eastern Szechuan, the Irrawaddy, the Sal ween, the Mekong, the Yangtse, the Yalung. The Anning, the smallest of these, lies enclosed in a wilderness of tangled ranges, and its valley forms the shortest trade route between Szechuan and the Indo-Chinese peninsula.

Regardless, Beijing was presented with a piece of material evidence that new troubles were fermenting in Tibet. At the time, a Buddhist scripture allegedly emerged from a Garzê monastery, predicting ominously: "In the Year of Pig (1959) the world will become one of the beasts, and religion will decline. In the Year of Rat (1960) the Heaven will speak, and Bodhisattvas will come from all directions."

Hiring practices in Tibet revealed state-sponsored discrimination against Tibetans as an official announcement on May 25 in Lithang barred individuals who have participated in “separatist activities” and those whose family members have “exited the country illegally”, reported rights group, International Campaign for Tibet (ICT). In one previous instance, the Chinese government issued the same criteria for recruiting police personnel by Kardze Prefecture government in 2017.[…]
In an announcement on May 2 for police recruitment in Dabpa County People’s Court in Kardze Prefecture, it said that “those who have received or are receiving subsidies from illegal overseas fund organizations” are disqualified in addition to the aforementioned clauses in the case of Lithang.

Thousands of officials in Ganzi, a Tibetan region of Sichuan Province, have been paired with families to collect information and give out gifts of rice, cooking oil and beatific portraits of Mr. Xi — all to hammer home his message of an encompassing Chinese identity, from Xinjiang in the west to the contested island of Taiwan in the east.
“In the future I’ll be a member of your family, too,” Shen Yang, the Communist Party secretary of Ganzi, called Kardze in Tibetan, told one household, according to a local newspaper.[…]
A decade ago, Ganzi was a center of protests by Tibetans who set fire to themselves, sometimes fatally, to denounce Chinese rule. The new campaign appears intended to eradicate any remnants of potential resistance.

Four Tibetans in Sichuan Province have been sentenced to prison for taking part in protests last spring, according to a Tibetan advocacy group.

As word of the bloodshed spread, demonstrations erupted across the Tibetan plateau. One day, they came to Drago county, which borders Garze on the plateau’s eastern reaches in Sichuan.[…]
Kesang Lamdark, a Tibetan artist living in Switzerland and the son of a renowned monk from Garze, said the dream of a free Tibet crashes against the reality of the Chinese police state.[…]
Jampa of the Garze county foreign affairs office said he had not heard of the demolitions, and denied any restrictions on faith. Religious freedoms are protected by the Chinese constitution, he said, “like in America.”

Mount Emei

Partial calque from Mandarin 峨眉山 (Éméi Shān).

As his most significant contribution to the vast body of art he emulated, Chang effected a synthesis of two historical modes, the austere tonal ink style of the scholar-artist painter and the brightly colored, vibrantly detailed style of the court artist. The two are joined in his depiction of Mount Emei, a Buddhist pilgrimage site that Chang visited many times.

There are, of course, a number of counties where the descendants of pre-Ch'ing natives still constitute a significant portion of the local population. Tzu-chung county, midway between Ch'eng-tu and Chungking testifies:
Tsu-chung does not have any native clans that can be traced back more than six hundred years. [Among the old clans] six- or seven- tenths came from Hupei during the early Ming period.

Qingchuan is one of Sichuan’s poorest counties. In 2010 the Development Research Center (DRC) of the State Council published a report on Qingchuan’s pre- and post-earthquake economic situation. “Qingchuan County is located in a remote mountain area, with inconvenient transportation, and is economically impoverished and backward. Before the earthquake, poverty was already substantially worse [in Qingchuan] than in other national poverty alleviation project areas.”
