Ba-Shu culture (Chinese: 巴蜀文化; pinyin: Bāshǔ wénhuà) refers to a regional culture centered around Sichuan province and Chongqing city, also encompassing parts of Yunnan, Guizhou and other regions that speak Southwestern Mandarin. Historically centered around the Yangtze River, it emerged as an amalgamation of the cultures of the Shu and Ba kingdoms after the conquest of both by the Qin Dynasty. The discovery of the Shu site of Sanxingdui in 1986 and Jinsha in 2001 places the Ba-Shu culture's age at over three millennia old;[2][3] consequently, it is widely considered to be one of the cradles of Chinese civilisation and culture.[4][5][6]
Pattern of the Golden Sun Bird discovered at Jinsha site, a symbol of the Ba–Shu culture and believed to be a totem of the ancient Shu people.[1] It has been designated a symbol for the Chinese culture as a whole by the Chinese government.
The continuous use of the name Shu to refer to the Sichuan region throughout history has contributed to the Ba-Shu culture's survival (even today, one of the official names of Sichuan is Shu).[7] As a result, the Ba-Shu culture continues to the present day and is famous for aspects such as its cuisine and the Sichuan opera.
