1. Cuba Shu Kingdom

Suining has a long history. According to the preliminary analysis of human skull fossils collected in Nanshan, Ma'anshan, Renhe Town, Shehong County, there were human activities in Suining at least 10,000 BC. During the Xia and Shang Dynasties, the whole country was divided into nine states, and today Suining City is under the jurisdiction of Liangzhou. In the early Spring and Autumn Period, two slave states, Ba and Shu, emerged in Sichuan. Suining City was under the jurisdiction of Shu. After the unification of Qin, it was under the jurisdiction of Shu County. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty (220 AD), Deyang County was established, and its governance was located in the current urban area. This is where the establishment of counties within the territory began. In the late Western Jin Dynasty (about 303 years), the refugee Li Xiong rebelled and established the Han Dynasty. Deyang County was established and administered by Deyang County. The county and county seat are still in the present city area, and the establishment of counties within the territory also began.

2. The origin of the name Suining

"Suining" as a place name began in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The Eastern Jin Dynasty coexisted with the Sixteen Kingdoms, while Suining belonged to the Chenghan Kingdom among the Sixteen Kingdoms. At that time, the rulers of various countries were fighting for years, and the rulers of the Han Dynasty were also fighting for power within themselves, making the people miserable. In 347 AD, General Huan Wen of the Eastern Jin Dynasty attacked Shu, defeated Li Xiong's remaining army Li Shi, and destroyed the Han Dynasty, ending more than 50 years of melee in Sichuan. When Huan Wen returned in triumph and passed through the county, he saw a beautiful wind and sunny weather, singing and dancing, and an atmosphere of peace and tranquility. The general, who had been on the battlefield for many years, was filled with emotions, and a feeling of aversion to war and longing for peace arose spontaneously. Therefore, Suining County was established here, which means "to quell the war and achieve peace", hence the name Suining. Since then, this piece of red land in the hills of central Sichuan has had an auspicious name - "Suining".
