Why did Chongqing separate from Sichuan and become a municipality directly under the central government?

1. Give full play to Chongqing's regional advantages, radiate southwest and promote the development of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

Chongqing's regional position has obvious geographical advantages and economic and political advantages, and its economy can radiate the development of regional economy after it is directly under the central government.

2. It is conducive to solving the difficulties caused by the overpopulation and excessive administrative divisions in Sichuan.

Sichuan province is too big and has too many people, and its jurisdiction is not in place to some extent. The rational planning and jurisdiction of the city directly affects the development of the city. The population of Chongqing is the largest city in the region, and the population density is the basis of economic development, and the population is also a hard standard for the division of municipalities directly under the central government.

3. It is conducive to the construction of the Three Gorges Project and the completion of the resettlement task.

For the resettlement project in the Three Gorges reservoir area, it is very difficult to re-establish the management system if the Three Gorges Province is established separately, and it is also very limited for the development of new cities.

4. At that time, Chongqing was a non-capital city in Sichuan Province, but its comprehensive strength, population size, economy and volume were ahead. Chongqing was directly under the jurisdiction of the central government, which did not affect Chengdu's responsibility as a capital city.

Extended data:

In the history of China, Chongqing belonged to Sichuan for a long time, but not all of this area belonged to Sichuan. In some historical stages, Chongqing and Sichuan can be said to have a parallel relationship, or they used to be brothers, but now they are just brothers again. Specifically, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, today's Sichuan Province mainly belongs to Shu, a vassal state.

Now the surrounding areas of Chongqing mainly belong to Pakistan, a vassal state. For Shu and Pakistan, there is no affiliation, that is, they are both vassal States under the Zhou royal family. On the basis of Shu and Ba, Shu culture and Ba culture were born in these two regions respectively. In short, Sichuan Province is called "Sichuan or Shu" and Chongqing is called "Chongqing or Ba".

In the middle and late Warring States, the State of Qin destroyed Bashu, and now Sichuan and Chongqing have become the territory of the State of Qin. Under the county system, Qin established Shu County in today's Sichuan Province and Ba County in today's Chongqing. Since then, many dynasties have established other counties in these two areas. During the reign of Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty.

Today, Shu County and Ba County gradually share the same name, namely "Yizhou". In the historical stage of the Three Kingdoms, the Shu Han established by Liu Bei mainly occupied Yizhou, which mainly included Sichuan Province and Chongqing City. At this historical stage of the Tang Dynasty, there is Yuzhou in Chongqing today, which belongs to Shannan West Road. For today's Sichuan Province.

Because Li Shimin changed Yizhou to Jiannan Road, and it is located in Chengdufu, this area mainly belongs to Jiannan Road. Thus, in the Tang Dynasty, Chongqing did not belong to Sichuan in organizational division. In the fourth year of Xianping (100 1), four roads, Yizhou (now Chengdu), Zizhou (now Santai), Lizhou (now Guangyuan) and Kuizhou (now Fengjie), were established in Sichuan and Chongqing in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Together, it is called "Xia Chuan No.4 Road". Sichuan got its name from this, which includes the area of Chongqing today. Of course, strictly speaking, Sichuan at that time was not an organizational division, but mainly a regional concept. Under the background of the provincial system, the Yuan Dynasty formally established Sichuan Province, which was under the jurisdiction of the General Political Office of Chongqing Road. As a result, Chongqing at that time belonged to Sichuan. In the historical stage of Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Chongqing government was established in today's Chongqing area, under the Sichuan Chengxuan Bureau and Sichuan Province. In other words, in the historical stage of Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, Chongqing belonged to Sichuan. 1954, Chongqing and Sichuan merged, and Chongqing was reduced from a municipality directly under the central government to a sub-provincial city. 1June, 1997 18, Chongqing municipality was formally established and no longer belongs to Sichuan province.
