Chuxiong is a fascinating land fostering an age-old minority with brilliant culture, among which the Ten-month Solar Calendar is the most striking one. According to this calendar, one year was divided into ten months in five seasons. There were 36 days in a month and two months constituted a season. So, the total was 360 days. The rest 5 or 6 days were defined as annual festival. It shows that the revolution time of the earth rounding the Sun was 365.25 days, It's the most precise ancient calendar then and in the long years to come. It is not only a treasure with great scientific and humanistic value in Yi’s culture, but the intellectual crystallization of Chinese people, the cultural heritage of the whole world.
The ten-month Solar Calendar Park, constructed with the aim to show the quintessence of the world civilization, is a place combining the study of ethnic culture, the demonstration of folk custom, the exhibition of local art, and the trade and entertainment together.
