The Southern Silk Road ran through Sichuan, Yunnan, and other provinces of China. It was a vital transport artery that linked the region of the southwestern Yi (barbarian tribes) to the Central Plains and influenced politics, economy, and culture in the region of the southwestern Yi in ancient times. The imperial governments of the Qin and Han dynasties kept developing regions along the Southern Silk Road. Their relentless efforts brought about social development in the region of the southwestern Yi in three aspects. Politically, they established the county system and step by step integrated the southwestern frontier and the inland into an administrative whole; economically, they implemented "presenting generous gifts and tax exemption," spread the advanced production technology from the Central Plains, and promoted local economic growth; ideologically, they spread Confucianism and culture, and promoted cultural exchange and development.
