Changsha City has a subtropical monsoon climate with distinct four seasons. Spring temperatures vary greatly, with more rainfall in early summer, high temperatures in late autumn, and less severe cold in winter. In the Paleolithic era, there were primitive human activities in the Changsha area. During the Qin Dynasty, Changsha Commandery was established, and the Changsha region was included in the unified national vision. During the Southern Dynasty, Changsha was once known as the 'Xiongjun County within the Sea'. Changsha is one of the first national historical and cultural cities, which has condensed the Hunan culture of "practical and inclusive". It is not only one of the birthplaces of the late Qing Dynasty's Reform Movement and the old democratic revolution, but also one of the birthplaces of new democracy.
