China has celebrated the Spring Festival for more than 2,000 years, but when it was celebrated in different dynasties was not consistent. On the basis of actual measurement, Luo made textual research on important astronomical data of past dynasties, established the first month as the first month of each year, and clearly stipulated that the first month was beginning of spring Day (then called the first year), the day before New Year's Eve and the day after New Year's Eve as a year (Spring Festival).
At this point, the Spring Festival in China has been fixed and has been passed down to this day. It is called "the old man in the Spring Festival" because it has a very important influence on the world because of the constant Spring Festival.

As a festival for Chinese children, the Spring Festival has been passed down for thousands of years, but the origin of this important festival is little known. Where the Spring Festival comes from, we should start with the 24 solar terms. As early as 1 10 BC, paleoastronomers in Langzhong put down their poles to observe the sun, determined the summer solstice and the winter solstice according to the length of the polar shadow, and determined the vernal equinox and the autumn equinox according to the change of the length of day and night in a year.
On this basis, 24 solar terms, such as beginning of spring, Rain and Sting, were determined. Since then, the Spring Festival has appeared as a fixed festival in the history of the Chinese nation.
In view of the great historical significance of Langzhong ancient city as the birthplace of the Spring Festival, Langzhong began to declare to the relevant departments "the hometown of China Spring Festival culture" two years ago. Finally, after the evaluation of many domestic experts, it is considered that Langzhong has specimen significance in inheriting the Spring Festival and protecting the cultural resources of the Spring Festival throughout the country. Therefore, the China Association for Democracy and People's Livelihood made a special trip to Langzhong to award the license.
It is reported that Langzhong is the first place in China to be awarded the title of "Hometown of Spring Festival Culture" by the relevant state departments. After obtaining this title, the Chinese People's Association will inspect and guide Langzhong's Spring Festival culture.
