The first entry is always the pin's source. Overall confidence is a weighted average of how firmly each reference supports the start and end times used above; a reference counts half as much for every 180 days older than the newest.
Estimated: filming wrapped on 25 May 2026 and neither CCTV-8 nor Tencent Video has announced a date. Director Yang Yang's A Dream of Splendor premiered about 11 months after wrapping (July 2021 to 2 June 2022), and Ou Hao's CCTV-8 drama This Thriving Land 12 months after (5 August 2024 to 13 August 2025); the shorter gap puts this around 25 April 2027. Weibo reports of a 2027 winter-holiday slot are unconfirmed. Re-date once the broadcasters announce the date.
Director Yang Yang's Tencent Video hit: filming began in February 2021 and wrapped in July 2021, and it premiered on 2 June 2022. This roughly 11-month gap is the basis for the estimate.[1]
Ou Hao's CCTV-8 period drama: it wrapped on 5 August 2024 and premiered on CCTV-8 prime time on 13 August 2025, a 12-month gap that backs the estimate.[1]
A Weibo[1] post dating the wrap to 25 May 2026, with Yang Zi's 45-year age span as Dong Zhujun, the rebuilt Republican-era street set and 4.96 million Tencent reservations.

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most. A picture that shows something else, or shows it badly, is looked at too, and moved down or replaced.
