Etymology

[edit]

In 757 CE,Tang dynasty set two administrative regions known as劍南西川 (“west plain to the south ofJianmen Pass”) and劍南東川 (“east plain to the south of Jianmen Pass”) in what is now the middle part ofSichuan Province. In 10th century,Song dynasty set西川路 (“west plain province”) and峽路 (“gorge province”) in today'sChongqing City and the middle and eastern parts of Sichuan Province. In 1001 CE, Song dynasty redivided these two provinces into four, collectively known as川峽四路 (“four provinces of plains and gorges”) or abbreviated as四川 (Sìchuān), giving rise to its modern name.
