In addition to the Qinghai Tibet Plateau, southwest China mainly has two historical physical geographical units, Sichuan Basin and the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, which were called "Bashu" and "Bashu" during the Han and Jin Dynasties.
Sichuan Basin acquired bronze making techniques from people of Erlitou culture in the Central Plains in the late Xia Dynasty. In the middle of the Shang Dynasty, due to the introduction of new and green techniques of local types of business culture in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, it gradually formed its own bronze artistic characteristics and traditions, which were not integrated into the Han cultural system until the Qin and Han Dynasties.
The the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau was influenced by the Sichuan Basin and the Northwest Sichuan Plateau in the middle of the Shang Dynasty. The early bronze technology appeared, and it has been developing slowly since then. Until the late Warring States Period, the bronze culture suddenly flourished, becoming the final glory of Chinese bronze culture and art. With the Han Dynasty's management of the "Ba Shu Wai" region, the scope of the Han cultural area gradually expanded from eastern Yunnan and western Guizhou to southwestern Yunnan. The formation, development, and transformation process of southwest bronze culture is one of the best examples of ancient China's transition from diversity to unity.
