Shu Road is the road from Chang 'an to Shu in ancient times. Shu Dao is difficult to walk because it passes through Bashan Mountain in Qinling Mountains. Therefore, Shu Dao is often synonymous with walking difficulties. Li Bai, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once wrote a poem "Difficult to Shu Dao", which is said to be difficult to Shu Dao. Shu Dao is a big concept with extremely rich connotations, which includes roads leading to ancient Shu in all directions, including waterways upstream from the Three Gorges, Bo Dao from Yunnan, Yin Ping Dao from Gansu, Jinniu Dao, Micang Dao and Litchi Dao from Hanzhong. And the roads within the scope of Shudu. This is the broad sense of Shu Dao. The "Shu Dao" usually referred to in academic research refers to the narrow concept, that is, the Xiexie Dao, Meridian Dao, Ancient Road, Luoluo Dao (Tang Guangdao) from Guanzhong to Hanzhong, Jinniu Dao and Micang Dao from Hanzhong to Sichuan.

In the Tang Dynasty, "Twenty-two Rhymes of Crossing Huaqing Palace": "In the early days, I am worried about the Shu Road, and the trees are separated." Song Hongshi explained Xu Li and Han Jianping's Pixian Monument: "Right" Jianping Pixian Monument "is 29 words." Jianping was the year of emperor's mourning, and his five years were changed to Yuan Shou ... It is almost impossible to change Shu Dao to Yuan Er. "The 60th chapter of Romance of the Three Kingdoms:" Xiu said Song Yue,' The Shu Road is rugged, and it is hard to work. "Sacrifice to the Teacher, Yuan Xianxian" Ming Dynasty: "Heroes split the title of Shu Dao, and the public (sons) made the mistakes of their ancestors. "Chen Yi Three Gorges Fu": "The Shu Road is really like the sky, and the river flows through Chung Shan Man."

In a broad sense, Shu Dao includes roads leading to ancient Shu places all over the country and roads inside Shu places. From Chengdu as the origin, from Chengdu to the north, from Shaanxi to Sichuan, there are Chencang Road, Xiexie Road, Road and Woods Road (Hanzhong is an ancient Shu) that cross Qinling to Hanzhong, and Jinniu Road, Micang Road and Litchi Road (also known as Yangba Road) that cross Daba Mountain from Hanzhong to Sichuan, and from Gansu to Sichuan. From Chengdu to the west, there is an ancient tea-horse road connecting Tibet and the western regions; To the south of Chengdu, there is Wuchi Road from Yunnan to Sichuan, and on this basis, the Southwest Silk Road leading to South Asia has been developed. To the east of Chengdu, there is a waterway from the Three Gorges to the Yangtze River.

Status:
The ancient Shu Road has a long history of more than 3,000 years. It is one of the earliest large-scale traffic relics preserved by human beings, and it has a longer history than the ancient Roman Avenue. Some experts pointed out that the ancient Shu Road is not only unique to China, but also unique to the world.
Whether in ancient times or in modern times, Shu Dao has played an important role in the economic and cultural development of China. During the long historical period of Zhou, Qin, Han and Southern and Northern Dynasties, when the maritime traffic was underdeveloped, Shu Road was the political center of all previous dynasties-the main road from Kyoto to the southwest and even its neighboring countries. It is as important as the Silk Road connecting things.
The Shu Road itself has played an important role in China's economic development, national unity, cultural exchange and political consolidation in history, and the historical relics along the Shu Road are national treasures.
As the main transportation network connecting northwest and southwest areas in China's history, Shu Road is not only famous for its dangerous plank road, but also has a long and rich historical and cultural heritage, strange and precious natural landscape and rare wildlife resources. In addition, Li Qian Shu Road is an important industrial science and technology corridor in China's contemporary western development, and its ancient Shu and folk culture along the way are also unique, with important tourism culture and geographical value, which provides rich resources for the sustainable development of Shu Road tourism.
Application value:
The ancient Shu Dao not only has high scientific value, but also has special application value. On May 12, 2008, the Wenchuan earthquake, whether the ancient Shu Road in Guangyuan will be destroyed, has aroused great concern and anxiety of experts and professors. On June 5438+ 10, 2009, a joint research group composed of experts and professors from more than ten universities, including Peking University, Fudan University and Tongji University, rushed to Guangyuan and was divided into six research groups for in-depth investigation. In March of the same year, the proposal of joint application for heritage along the ancient Shu Road was immediately recognized and responded by Guangyuan and other cities. On July 28th of the same year, nine experts, including Zheng, Luo, Ruan, Liu, Xie, Ge, Zheng Shiling and Wang Jinghui, jointly issued the Open Letter on the Overall Protection and Joint Application of the Cultural Line Heritage of Sichuan Road in China.
Experts believe that the ancient Shu Road in China has extremely special world heritage value and should be well protected as a world cultural route heritage.
In order to apply for the heritage of ancient Shu Dao, "2009 China Shu Dao Guangyuan International Forum" was held in Sichuan Guangyuan International Hotel on June 5438+065438+ 10/. It is reported that the theme of the forum is "China Shudao Cultural Route Protection and Heritage Declaration", and it revolves around the themes of "World Heritage and China Cultural Route, Shudao Cultural Heritage Value, Shudao Cultural Heritage Protection and Utilization, Cultural Route Protection Planning, Shudao Cultural Route and Cultural Inheritance, and Overall Research Report on Shudao Cultural Route". At the meeting, Chinese and foreign experts and scholars spoke in support of the application for the ancient Shu Road. The ancient Shu Road may be included in the third batch of world cultural route heritage preparation list. Experts believe that the ancient Shu Road is fully qualified to enter the World Cultural Route Heritage Protection List. "Like the Grand Canal, other countries may have it, but the ancient Shu Road is the only one in the world." The meeting also launched an initiative to apply for World Heritage, resulting in the Guangyuan Declaration on China's Application for World Heritage. From then on, the prelude of China Shu Dao's application for World Heritage was opened.
