Abstract The Song Dynasty enjoyed a splendid culture. Meishan, a small county in Southwest Sichuan, was one of the most developed cultural areas. This is closely related to a large-scale immigration after the collapse of the Tang Dynasty and the Jingkang defeat in the Song Dynasty. Meishan was an area receiving more immigrants than other regions. A great number of distinguished families from North China brought with them the advanced culture of the Yellow River areas to Meishan, which combined with native culture, and produced many cultural clans from this clan culture. Some of these people became elites in various areas through education and the Civil Service Examinations. The so-called Meishan Phenomenon was a result of cultural melting.
