According to literature, Chengdu was built in the ancient Shu period, and Chengdu experienced nearly 3,000 years of history in this region. After the city was founded in the Qin Dynasty, there were never any natural disasters such as floods in Chengdu for more than 2,000 years. Although there were no natural disasters, due to its central location in the southwest of China, wars were frequent. Thus, how to effectively suppress the rebellion in the southwest and how to rebuild the city after the wars became the top attention of the governments of Chengdu in the successive dynasties. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the government followed the Yuan and Ming systems, and the layout and architectural style of the city was similar to the previous dynasties. With the gradual recovery of the economy, Chengdu became a military center in southwest China and a military base was built in the city. Since then, Chengdu has gradually broken the original city style. Therefore, in this study, through archeological and literature sources, we analyzed the spatial structural evolution of Chengdu city in the historical background, focusing on the urban space and major building structures of Chengdu during the Qing Dynasty, which was relatively rich in information.
