Abstract
The period of Kaiming regime, known as the late Shu culture period, is the later stage of the ancient Shu state. During the reign of Kaiming, brilliant culture was created and pushed the ancient Shu culture forward. But it was finally destroyed by the Qin State in the north. In fact, the fundamental reason why Shu was destroyed by Qin lies in the gap between them. The national strength of Qin was obviously higher than that of Shu. The “turbulence brought by tyrants” inside Shu is just an excuse for Qin to conquer the place.
