The reason why the birthplace of the Spring Festival is Langzhong is because Luo Hong always celebrates the Spring Festival, which has had an extremely important impact on the world, and is therefore known as the "Spring Festival Old Man".
Celebrating the Spring Festival has a history of more than 2,000 years in China, but the date on which the Spring Festival is celebrated has not been consistent throughout the dynasties. On the basis of actual measurements, Luo Xiahong reviewed the major astronomical data of the past dynasties and established that the first month of Mengchun is the first month of each year. He clearly stipulated that the first day of the first lunar month of Mengchun is the day of spring (then called the first day of the Yin month), and the day before is New Year's Eve. , the day after New Year's Eve is the New Year (Spring Festival).
At this point, the time period of the Chinese Spring Festival was fixed and has been continued to this day. Because the fall of Hong is the Spring Festival, it has a very important impact on the world, so it is also called the "Spring Festival Old Man".
In September 2004, the National Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Langzhong Municipal People's Government jointly held a naming ceremony for the "Luoxia Hong Asteroid"; in 2017, Sichuan took the lead in launching the Sichuan Historical Celebrities Cultural Inheritance Innovation Project, and Langzhong Luoxia Hong as the The only astronomer was successfully selected into the first batch of historical celebrities in Sichuan.
Extended information:
The Spring Festival has been passed down for thousands of years as a unique festival for all Chinese people, but the origin of this important festival is rarely known. Where the Spring Festival comes from, we have to start with the twenty-four solar terms. As early as 110 BC, ancient astronomers in Langzhong lowered their poles to observe the sun, and determined the "summer solstice" and "winter solstice" based on the length of the pole's shadow. The changes in the length of day and night in a year determine the "Spring Equinox" and "Autumnal Equinox".
On this basis, twenty-four solar terms were determined, including the beginning of spring, rain, and the awakening of insects. Since then, the "Spring Festival" has appeared in the history of the Chinese nation as a fixed festival.
In view of the great historical significance of the ancient city of Langzhong as the birthplace of the Spring Festival, Langzhong began to declare to the relevant departments as the "Hometown of Chinese Spring Festival Culture" as early as two years ago. Finally, after evaluation by many domestic experts, Langzhong was considered to be inheriting the Spring Festival. The Spring Festival and the protection of Spring Festival cultural resources are of great significance across the country. To this end, the China National People's Association was appointed by relevant departments to make a special trip to Langzhong to award the license plate.
It is reported that Langzhong is the first country in the country to be awarded the "Hometown of Spring Festival Culture" by relevant national departments. After receiving this title, the China National People's Association will inspect and guide the Spring Festival culture in Langzhong.
