There has been many immigration movement throughout the ancient history of Sichuan, which includes today's Sichuan province and Chongqing municipality. Despite being geographically isolated and surrounded by mountains, Sichuan has experienced waves of immigration since ancient times, most notably the "Huguang filling Sichuan" (Chinese: 湖广填四川) during 17th to 18th century, which shaped the modern population and ethnicity makeup[1].

History

Pre Qin dynasty

The exact origins of Sichuan's early inhabitants remain uncertain, but it is thought that some migrated through the mountainous areas around the basin, while others might have already lived there for a period before settling in Sichuan. This mainly consist of two routes, one from the edge of Tibetan Plateau[2] through western mountains, and the other from the plains of downstream of the Yangtze River via the Three Gorges[3]. Their settlement in these mountain areas could date back approximately 5000 to 7000 years ago[4]. Cancong (Chinese: 蚕丛), one of the earliest legendary figures in Sichuan mythology, was thought to have hailed from the mountains west of the Chengdu Plain[5].

Qin occupied Sichuan and overthrew the governance of local regimes, including Ba and Shu.
