The Spring Festival is coming. According to historical records, China has celebrated the Spring Festival for 2 124 years. As the most solemn traditional festival in China, the Spring Festival has a profound historical origin with Sichuan.

In the Western Han Dynasty, Langzhong people in Ba County compiled taichu calendar. Only when the Spring Festival remains unchanged, people in China have the custom of the Spring Festival, which has become the oldest cultural birthmark and the biggest traditional festival in China. Therefore, sunset red is called "the old man of the Spring Festival" and Langzhong is called the birthplace of the Spring Festival in China.

The traditional calendar began in Xia Dynasty, which celebrated the Spring Festival on the first day of the first month, the first day of December in Shang Dynasty, the first day of November in Zhou Dynasty and the first day of October in Qin Dynasty.

Due to the frequent changes in the first month, the long-term seasonal phenological sequence in farming society is chaotic. Langzhongren inherited the past and set things right. His taichu calendar laid the foundation for today's Spring Festival.
