Shèhóng

Shehong lies in the Fu River basin of central Sichuan, where valleys and hills provide a setting for agriculture and regional exchange. Rice and other crops supply households and markets, while river transport and paths connect villages, landings and nearby towns.

Under the Yuan, Ming and Qing, county institutions in Sichuan handled taxation, legal affairs and communication with higher authorities. Schools, temples and markets also shaped local life. Warfare during the Ming-Qing transition disrupted much of Sichuan; subsequent reconstruction and migration changed rural society. The Fu River and its tributaries provided routes for people and goods.
