Sichuan (Chinese: 四川; pinyin: Sìchuān, formerly Szechwan or Szechuan) is a province in southwest China. The capital is Chengdu, a key economic centre of Western China.
The name of the province is an abbreviation of Sì Chuānlù (四川路), or "Four circuits of rivers", which is itself abbreviated from Chuānxiá Sìlù (川峡四路), or "Four circuits of rivers and gorges", named after the division of the existing circuit into four during the Northern Song dynasty.
Throughout its prehistory and early history, the region and its vicinity in the Yangtze region was the cradle of unique local civilizations which can be dated back to at least the 15th century BC and coinciding with the later years of the Shang and Zhou dynasties in North China. Sichuan was referred to in ancient Chinese sources as Ba-Shu (巴蜀), an abbreviation of the kingdoms of Ba and Shu which existed within the Sichuan Basin. Ba included Chongqing and the land in eastern Sichuan along the Yangtze and some tributary streams, while Shu included today's Chengdu, its surrounding plain and adjacent territories in western Sichuan.

Do you wake up in the morning
Greet the brand new day
Can you see from your window
The ways of the world
Is ...This really conversation
Or just words that you've heard
There's a lack of understanding
In the things you say.
Searching for a home.
I saw you standing at the frontier
Piece of paper in your hand
Is the view from your window
As small as ...This man's
We try hard at conversation
But the words don't connect
I fear we speak a foreign language
In the western world
Searching for a home.
I saw you standing at the frontier
Feel lost at the frontier
I heard you shout at the frontier
