[HIGHLIGHTS] Dongxiwen·Spring Festival of the Year of the Dragon｜Yang Xiaoping: Why does the Taichu Calendar fixate the first month of Mengchun as the "beginning of the Yuan Dynasty"?

China News Service's "East-West Question" has launched a series of "Spring Festival of the Year of the Dragon" planning series since February 6. The reason why the "Taichu Calendar" can always use the first month of Mengchun as the beginning of the year is because Chinese civilization is rooted in agricultural civilization.

Yang Xiaoping, vice president of the Sichuan Luoxiahong Research Association and professor at West China Normal University, recently accepted an exclusive interview with China News Service.
