Sichuan and Chongqing residents are descendants of those who lived in the Ba and Shu Kingdoms, hence they are established in the “Bashu Culture” (巴蜀文化, Bāshǔ Wénhuà). This is also known as Chongqing-Sichuan culture, and it relates not just to Chongqing and Sichuan, but also to sections of the bordering provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou, where Han Chinese people now largely speak Southwestern Mandarin. It has a 3000+ year history and is widely considered as one of the cradles of modern Chinese culture.
