TL;DRAbstract

As suggested in Chapter 3, the Sichuan Basin has been considered a region of secondary historical importance, even by those whose research has been focused there. For example, in his 1957 synthesis of the archaeology of Sichuan, Cheng Te-k'un (1957: xix) stated, “Szechwan is fundamentally a marginal area, and the culture of this province has never been a result of independent development. It has always been under the influence of some neighboring culture.”
