Yibin sits at the confluence of the Jinsha, Min, and Yangtze Rivers, a location that has supported human settlement for thousands of years. Known historically as “Xufu,” it became an administrative center during the Han Dynasty(c.2nd century BCE-2nd century CE,China’s Han period) and served as a key military and transport post on the empire’s southwestern frontier. By the Tang and Song Dynasties(c.7th-13th century CE,China’sTang-Song period), river trade and the salt industry had turned Yibin into a regional commercial hub.
