20 Cold Knowledge About Sichuan

Sichuan is a beautiful place, the scenery is as beautiful as people. Sichuan cuisine is well-known both at home and abroad. There are many things that people don’t know about Sichuan. Here are 20 cold knowledge about Sichuan.

1. Mala Tang is rarely seen on the streets of Sichuan, but there are many dishes, chicken, skewers and hot pot. It is said that outsiders are stupid and confused.
2. Sichuan cuisine is not all spicy. For example, the famous boiled water cabbage and chickpeas, as well as white oil loofah, white oil tofu and shaobai.
3. Neijiang and Zigong were rated as the most spicy regions in China by “Chinese National Geographic”. This area is dominated by Xiaohebang cuisine, famous dishes such as cold rabbit and boiled beef.
4. Sichuan’s economy is actually not backward. The provincial GDP is sixth in the country, and the GDP of Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture is even higher than that of many cities in Anhui (Note: This is mainly a stalk. Some people who like to compare like like to say “You are not as good as an autonomous prefecture in Sichuan”. In fact, Liangshan Prefecture’s GDP is already high) .
5. Sichuan dialect belongs to the northern dialect. In addition, “Sichuan dialect is one vote to become Mandarin” is false.
6. In Chengdu, North Railway Station refers to Chengdu Station. The real Chengdu North Station is Xindu and does not handle passenger transportation.
7. A large number of Sichuanese claim to be from Xiaogan Township, Macheng County, Hubei Province. In fact, it is just an immigrant legend similar to the big locust tree in Shanxi. It does not mean that basically all Sichuan people come from this place.
8. Sichuan International Studies University and Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts, these two schools are not in Sichuan! But in Chongqing.
9. Sichuan has a huge span from east to south, and the Aba Ganzi Prefecture in the northwest is even bordered by the Yellow River and Qinghai. To the south is Yunnan, and Lugu Lake is mostly in Sichuan. There are several ethnic minority areas in Sichuan. There are many Yi people in Liangshan, Tibetans in Ganzi Prefecture, Tibetans and Qiangs in Aba Prefecture, and Jiuzhaigou County where the local Han people speak Gansu dialect.
10. West China Hospital can be said to be the pride of Sichuan people. It ranks second among hospitals in the country, after Peking Union Medical College Hospital (the PLA General Hospital is ranked third). The Department of Stomatology opened by West China Hospital in Sichuan University has the highest score in Sichuan University, which is higher than many specialties in Peking University and Tsinghua University, and is also a leader in the field of oral cavity in Asia. The status of such a hospital in Sichuan can be imagined. It can be said that the first thing that Sichuanese people think of getting a serious illness is to visit West China.
11. Wang Jianlin’s hometown is Cangxi County, Guangyuan City. For this reason, Guangyuan, whose economy ranks relatively low in Sichuan, has become the third prefecture-level city in Sichuan with Wanda. Many districts and counties in Guangyuan once belonged to Mianyang Prefecture. Wang Jianlin was born and raised in Mianyang, so he regarded Mianyang as his hometown. The first prefecture-level city in Sichuan with Wanda was Mianyang.
12. Four of the ten marshals were born in Sichuan. Among them, Zhu De and Liu Bocheng fought each other in Sichuan as the generals of the Dian army and the generals of the Sichuan army during the warlord melee. Jun was taught by Liu Shuai to be a man.
13. Panzhihua is the only prefecture-level city named after a flower in China, but the name is not consistent. It was once renamed Dukou. Panzhihua is also the prefecture-level city with the highest GDP per capita in Sichuan, with the longest sunshine hours and the highest average annual temperature. The part of Panzhihua south of the Jinsha River was exchanged between Sichuan Shuifu County and Yunnan. Many friends who don’t know the details thought that Sichuan had picked up a big deal. In fact, Panzhihua’s mineral deposits are basically on the north bank of the Jinsha River.
14. There is no license plate number of Sichuan G, Sichuan N, Sichuan P. Before Chongqing became a municipality directly under the Central Government, Sichuan B was Chongqing City, Sichuan G was Mianyang, Sichuan N was Fuling District (now Chongqing Fuling District), and Chuan P was Qianjiang District (now Qianjiang District, Chongqing). After Chongqing became a municipality directly under the central government, Sichuan B was given to Mianyang, and G, N, and P were vacated. Another: Chuan M was originally Wanxian, but later it was given to Ziyang.
15. There is a special virus in Sichuan that infects the trunk of trees. The infected tree will grow a black and white granulation, which gradually covers the entire tree, which is very scary.
16. Anyue County, Ziyang City is a good place. Anyue County is the second most populous county in Sichuan (1.594 million, second only to Renshou) and the largest agricultural county in Sichuan. Anyue’s lemon production accounts for more than 80% of the country’s total production, and most of the lemons that everyone eats come from Anyue. In addition, Anyue’s annual output of pigs for slaughter is the first in the country (2 million heads), the output of vermicelli is the first in the southwest, and the output of rice is the first in the province.
17. Pingwu is the county with the largest number of wild giant pandas in Mianyang and is worthy of the name “the first county in the world for giant pandas.”
