This book examines the changes in the expression of the image of Chengdu in ancient and modern times, so as to explore how Chengdu's lifestyle, moral values and spiritual temperament are formed, how it is perceived and recognized by external and internal people, and how Chengdu uses image capital to cope with and join the wave of globalization and carry out urban modernization transformation in the era of globalization. The first chapter starts from the original image of Chengdu, "the country of Tianfu", discusses the historical process and meaning of Chengdu given by the names "Tianfu" and "Country of Tianfu", and the principles of condensing the urban identity of Chengdu people in contemporary times. Chapter 2 explores Chengdu's marginal image in terms of culture, politics, and economy since ancient times, and provides a glimpse of Chengdu's development in the central and local state management patterns. Chapter 3 shows the changes in the image of leisure in Chengdu in the eyes of the state, elites and the people, and explores the game and collusion relationship between the three in the process of local customs governance. Chapter 4 focuses on the most direct personal experience and expression of the city, and shows how Chengdu's most distinctive living culture is formed from the three aspects of space, gender and food. Chapter 5 focuses on how contemporary Chengdu uses various heritages to recreate its image in urban transformation, and critically reflects on the practice of heritage in urban image shaping activities. Finally, the relationship between Chengdu's original appearance and image representation, the relationship between Chengdu's image expression and urban identity construction, and its human significance are discussed theoretically.（AI翻译）
