Rongcheng is the abbreviation of Furong City and another name of Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province.
The origin of Chengdu's name, according to the record of Yuhuan in Taiping, is borrowed from the historical process of the capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty. "Zhou Wang Tai stopped at Qishan from Liangshan and became a city in one year and Chengdu in three years, hence the name Chengdu." In the Han Dynasty, Chengdu's brocade industry developed and became an important source of imperial tribute. Therefore, the imperial court set up an organization to manage Jin officials, and built the "Jinguan City" in the southwest of the city, so later generations took Jinguan City as another name of Chengdu, referred to as "Jincheng".
In the Han Dynasty, Chengdu's economy was already quite prosperous. Jin called it "beauty and admiration, real name Chengdu" in Shu Du Fu, and it was one of the five famous metropolises in the Western Han Dynasty. In the Five Dynasties, Meng Changjun, the Emperor of the Later Shu Dynasty, favored hibiscus flowers and ordered the people to plant hibiscus trees all over the city walls. In the flowering season, Chengdu is called "the city of hibiscus", so Chengdu is also called "hibiscus" for short.
