In the Sichuan province, livelihood security and social development are particularly sensitive to changes in the sloping farmland, due to the region’s large portion of hilly territory and its over-dense population. In this study, we focused on spatiotemporal change of the sloping farmland and its driving forces in the Sichuan province. Sloping farmland areas were extracted from geographic data from digital elevation model (DEM) and land use maps, and the driving forces of the spatiotemporal change were analyzed using a principal component analysis (PCA). The results indicated that, from 2000 to 2015, sloping farmland decreased by 3263 km2 in the Sichuan province. The area of gently sloping farmland (<10◦) decreased dramatically by 1467 km2, especially in the capital city, Chengdu, and its surrounding areas.

Here green hills and blue waters, cultivation in the morning and weeding in the evening, It is a quiet and peaceful southern town. In the past years, every time the festival, or when the wedding, some villagers spontaneously organize themselves, dressed in red and green, pick up a pair of small cymbals and wave them in their hands, many times there will be a small gong and drum band that play the suona alongside, if the conditions are not enough, as long as one person can also perform. The shape of this small cymbals is very similar to the dumplings that are eaten during the festival, and during the performance, both hands need to swing the rope, turn the pair of the old festival, and over the top of the head, or turn around and flip around the waist and legs, therefore, this folk dance was initially called " Fanshengjiaozi."
