Lizhou Road is located at the junction of Shaanxi and Sichuan provinces,with a strategically vital position.It serves as a crucial passage from the Qin and Gansu regions into Sichuan,and is also an important means for the Song Dynasty to control the Shu region,as well as being a significant part of the Tea-Horse Road.Lizhou Road undertakes an important task for transporting tea from the Shu region,with routes including Chencang Road,Tangluo Road,Lizhi Road,and Yinping Road,forming a vast network for tea sales.The increase in tea production in the Lizhou Road tea-producing area enabled the Song court to obtain more war horses through the Han-Zang tea-horse trade.This trade not only met the military needs of the Northern Song Dynasty against the Western Xia,but also became a crucial link between the Song and Tubo,effectively promoting economic reciprocity and military alliances between the two sides.The operation of the Shu tea trade through Lizhou Road had played a positive role in promoting border stability and ethnic unity.
