Culture

The Li Bai Memorial, located at Zhongba Town of northern Jiangyou County
in Sichuan Province, is a museum in memory of Li Bai, a Chinese poet in
the Tang Dynasty (618-907), at the place where he grew up. It was
prepared in 1962 on the occasion of 1,200th anniversary of his death,
completed in 1981 and opened to the public in October 1982. The memorial
is built in the style of the classic garden of the Tang Dynasty.Languages
The most widely used variety of Chinese spoken in Sichuan is Sichuanese, which is the lingua franca in Sichuan, Chongqing and part of Tibet. Although Sichuanese is generally classified as a dialect of Mandarin, it is highly divergent in phonology, vocabulary, and even grammar from the standard language.[30]Minjiang dialect is especially difficult for speakers of other Mandarin dialects to understand.[31][32][33][34]
The prefectures of Garzê and Ngawa (Aba) in western Sichuan are populated by Tibetan and Qiang people. Tibetans speak the Kham and Amdo dialects of Tibetan, as well as various Qiangic languages. Qiangic languages is also spoken by the Qiang and other related ethnicities. The Yi of Liangshan prefecture in southern Sichuan speak the Yi language, which is more closely related to Burmese; Yi is written using the Yi script, a syllabary
standardized in 1974. Like in all of mainland China, regional languages
are being supplanted by the mandatory instruction of Mandarin Chinese
in nearly all schools regardless of the ethnicity of the students.
However, certain accommodations to non-Chinese speakers are made in the
minority inhabited regions of Sichuan, including some bi-lingual signage
and public school instruction in non-Mandarin minority languages.
Tibetan exile communities have claimed the Chinese government practices
both implicit and explicit language discrimination in these areas.Cuisine
The Sichuanese are proud of their cuisine, known as one of the Four Great Traditions of Chinese cuisine.
The cuisine here is of "one dish, one shape, hundreds of dishes,
hundreds of tastes", as the saying goes, to describe its acclaimed
diversity. The most prominent traits of Sichuanese cuisine are described
by four words: spicy, hot, fresh and fragrant.[35] Sichuan cuisine is popular in the whole nation of China, so are Sichuan chefs. Two famous Sichuan chefs are Chen Kenmin and his son Chen Kenichi, who was Iron Chef Chinese on the Japanese television series "Iron Chef".
都江堰
Dujiangyan (Chinese: 都江堰; pinyin: Dūjiāngyàn) is an irrigation infrastructure built in 256 BC during the Warring States Period of China by the Kingdom of Qin. It is located in the Min River (Chinese: 岷江; pinyin: Mínjiāng) in Sichuan province, China, near the capital Chengdu. It is still in use today to irrigate over 5,300 square kilometers of land in the region.[1] The Dujiangyan along with the Zhengguo Canal in Shaanxi Province and the Lingqu Canal in Guangxi Province are known as “The three great hydraulic engineering projects of the Qin Dynasty”.[2]
Planning
During the Warring States period (406–221 BC), people who lived along the banks of the Min River were plagued by annual flooding. Qin governor Li Bing
investigated the problem and discovered that the river was swelled by
fast flowing spring melt-water from the local mountains that burst the
banks when it reached the slow moving and heavily silted stretch below.[3]
One solution would have been to build a dam but Li Bing had also been charged with keeping the waterway open for military vessels to supply troops on the frontier,[4]
so instead he proposed to construct an artificial levee to redirect a
portion of the river's flow and then to cut a channel through Mount
Yulei to discharge the excess water upon the dry Chengdu Plain beyond.[5]Construction
Li Bing received 100,000 taels of silver for the project from King Zhao of Qin and set to work with a team said to number tens of thousands. The levee was constructed from long sausage-shaped baskets of woven bamboo filled with stones known as Zhulong[6] held in place by wooden tripods known as Macha.[7] The massive construction took four years to complete.[8]
Cutting the channel proved to be a far greater problem as the tools available to Li Bing at the time, prior to the invention of gunpowder,
were unable to penetrate the hard rock of the mountain so he used a
combination of fire and water to heat and cool the rocks until they
cracked and could be removed.[9] After eight years of work a 20 metres (66 ft) wide channel had been gouged through the mountain.[10]Legacy
Dujiangyan
After the system was finished, no more floods occurred. The irrigation made Sichuan the most productive agricultural place in China. On the east side of Dujiangyan, people built a shrine in remembrance of Li Bing.
Li Bing’s construction is also credited with giving the people of the region a laid-back attitude to life;[11] by eliminating disaster and ensuring a regular and bountiful harvest, it has left them with plenty of free time.[12]
Today, Dujiangyan has become a major tourist attraction. It is also
admired by scientists from around the world, because of one feature.
Unlike contemporary dams where the water is blocked with a huge wall, Dujiangyan still lets water go through naturally. Modern dams
do not let fish go through very well, since each dam is a wall and the water levels are different. In 2000, Dujiangyan became a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
