Zigong, which is located in the west of China, between Bashu and Sichuan, and in the south of Sichuan, is neither a capital of a dynasty, nor a fortress for military strategists, nor a hub for water and land transportation among the types of Chinese cities that are conceived, conceived, and formed. It is not a port for foreign trade, but a resource-exploiting industrial city that has gradually gathered people into Chengyi due to the development of salt mine resources and the development of salt industry. The long evolution and development of Zigong salt industry in the past two thousand years has made it a regional handicraft and economic center. The gift of nature, the magic of creation, and the development of generations of people have driven the formation of cities, and have gone through the road of setting up towns, counties, and cities because of salt. The development of salt industry has become the main driving force for the formation of Zigong city. In a fairly long historical period, this city, which was shaped with salt, was based on salt wells, salt stoves, and production areas. The population was mainly engaged in well salt production and operators directly and indirectly. For the network, commodity exchange also revolves around salt production, and its historical relics, urban architecture, and folk customs all leave a projection of salt culture.

In 1964, the Zigong Municipal People's Government organized the first Lantern Festival since the founding of New China. Since then, the scale of the lantern festival has changed from small to large, and the craftsmanship has changed from rough to refined. Except for the interruption during the Cultural Revolution, by 2002, the Zigong Lantern Festival had been held locally for fifteen times. Since the first Zigong International Dinosaur Lantern Festival was held in 1987, until 2002, many Zigong International Dinosaur Lantern Festivals have been held.
