Proper noun

- Alternative form of Chengdu
- 1919, John C. Ferguson, Outlines of Chinese Art[1], Chicago: University of Chicago Press, →OCLC, page 116:
- There is a portrait of Confucius at Ch’ü-fu attributed to Wu and another striking picture representing the struggle of a tortoise with a serpent, kuei she t’u, which is in the Prefect's official residence at Ch’êng-tu, Sze-ch’uan.
- 1971, Albert Richard Davis, Tu Fu[2], Twayne Publishers, →LCCN, →OCLC, page 131:
- In many poems whose titles suggest that travel is their subject, it proves to be only a minor theme. An exception, however, is the series of poems which Tu Fu wrote during the journey in 759 from Chʻin-chou to Tʻung-ku and on to Chʻeng-tu. This long journey carried out in a short period over strange and extremely difficult terrain powerfully engaged the poet's mind and moved him to commemorate it in a continuing series of immediate impressions. Read together, these poems may be seen as a poetical yu-chi. There are more than twenty poems in all. With the exception of the first, the following come from the second stage from Tʻung-ku to Chʻeng-tu.
