The ancient Shu people are indigenous tribes rising from the upper reaches of Minjiang River. Shu culture can be divided into several periods: Shushan, Can Cong, Guanbai, Yufu and Ming Kai. Shu tribe is a tribe different from Central Plains culture in the pre-Qin period.

The word "Shu" first appeared in Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Shang Dynasty. According to records, Shu people helped him during the attack. However, the history of Shu was not recorded in the pre-Qin documents, and the history and legends of Shu were not recorded until Huayang Guozhi Shuzhi in Changqu, Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Regarding the history of Shu, Li Bai wrote a most famous poem in "South of Shu Road": "Until the two rulers of this area squeezed in in the foggy years! Forty-eight thousand years have passed. Don't talk to Qin Sai. And Dabaishan, to the west, still has only one bird path, all the way to the peak of Emei. It was broken by the earthquake, and the strong men fell, and the stairs and stones were hooked. "
