Known as "the second Tibetan area in China", "the only Qiang nationality gathering area in China" and "the first Yi nationality gathering area in China".

June 24th of the lunar calendar is the biggest festival of the Yi people-Torch Festival. 95% of the Tibetan population uses Tibetan and Jiarong languages, and about 40% of them also speak Chinese. 95% of Yi people use Yi language, and about 60% of them are fluent in Chinese.

70% of the Qiang people use Qiang language, and 70% also speak Chinese. All the ethnic minorities living in the world, except Hui, use their own languages. More than 85% of the ancient town of Luodai is the descendant of Hakka people from Guangdong, Jiangxi and Fujian who poured in during the immigration tide of "Huguang filling Sichuan" in the early Qing Dynasty. They still completely follow Hakka customs and speak Hakka dialect, which is known as "the living fossil of ancient Chinese".

Sichuan is a big Hakka province in the west. Since the migration of "Huguang filling Sichuan" in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, the largest Hakka dialect island in Dongshan, Chengdu, with Longquanyi District as the core, has gradually formed, with a total of 500,000 Hakkas, which has well preserved the Hakka language family and life culture.

Sichuan dialect has about1200,000 users. Today's Sichuan dialect was formed in the great migration movement of "Huguang filling Sichuan" in Kangxi period of Qing Dynasty.

It is formed by the gradual evolution and integration of the Sichuan dialect popular in Sichuan before the Ming Dynasty and the immigrant dialects in Huguang, Guangdong and Jiangxi. Chengyu dialect is the standard pronunciation of Sichuan opera and various folk arts. At the same time, due to the high degree of internal interoperability of Sichuan dialect, communication between dialect areas is barrier-free.
