Sichuan is a major province of Hakka people in the west. Since the migration movement of "Huguang filling Sichuan" in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, it has gradually formed the largest Hakka dialect island in Dongshan, Chengdu, with Longquanyi District as the core, with a total Hakka population of 5,, which has well preserved the Hakka language family and life culture. In Sichuan, about 7, people can speak Hakka.

More than 85% of the ancient towns in Luodai are descendants of Hakka people from Guangdong, Jiangxi and Fujian who were flooded by the immigration wave of "Huguang filling Sichuan" in the early Qing Dynasty. They still follow Hakka customs completely and speak Hakka dialects known as "living fossils of ancient Chinese".

among many festivals, "celebrating the New Year" is the most distinctive one, and only some areas retain this custom. Passing the New Year, also known as the year of hemp fiber, means that the Lunar New Year is celebrated on the 29th and the Lunar New Year is celebrated on the 28th. It is named because it is celebrated one day earlier than the Han nationality. At that time, every household will kill Nianzhu, make mung bean powder, cook rice wine or suck up wine.
