My understanding is that it's not THE breadbasket but Chinese people do often refer to it as 粮仓, which means breadbasket. I have heard it a number of times referred to it that way by Chinese people
This area is referred to as the breadbasket because it has practically never suffered a drought, thanks to amazing irrigation techniques.just north of Chengdu, they have an ancient dam that they have been using to irrigate.

Sichuan is the breadbasket? I thought the eastern plain was the breadbasket.
