Why was Chengdu called Chengdu or Jinguan City in ancient times?

Because during the Shu and Han Dynasties in the Three Kingdoms, Chengdu was the brocade center of China, and the exquisite Shu brocade sold well all over the country and became an important tribute source of the imperial court. The imperial court specially set up Jinguan management and built Jinguan City in the southwest of the city, so Chengdu is also called "Jinguan City" and "Jincheng City".

Sichuan is a sericulture producing area in China, and Shu brocade was famous in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The ancients used Liujiang Zhuojin, which flows through Chengdu, with bright colors, and because of the endless flow of people along the river, the river is colorful and colorful, so it is called Jincheng. When Shu Han had Guan Jinguan, the resident was called Jinguan City, so it was called Jincheng. In Du Fu's poems, "in a deep pine forest near Silk City" refers to Jincheng.
