First, Chengdu is a city that has not changed its name from ancient times to the present, and the city site has never been moved. During the Tang Dynasty, it was already the most prosperous city in China. Chengdu's founding history is 611 BC, surpassing Suzhou, which is the longest city in China.
Second, Sichuan is the birthplace of tea in the world. The earliest local history book in China, Huayang Guozhi, records that the Emei Mountain and Mengding Mountain areas in Sichuan are the earliest tea growing areas in China. Of course, Chengdu people's love of drinking tea probably has this reason.

Fifth, Chengdu people have always been spicy and unhappy, and there are historical sites to be found. Among them, the history of eating spicy is about 200 years, and the history of eating hemp is more than 3,000 years. In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, chili peppers were introduced to Sichuan, also known as "sea peppers" in Chengdu, so when you hear Chengdu people say this word, don't feel strange anymore.
Sixth, the central point of Chengdu is neither in Tianfu Square nor on Chunxi Road. The real center is on the sidewalk at the intersection of Luoguo Lane and Xinhua Avenue.
