The study of stellar populations in galaxies is entering a new era with the availability of large and high-quality data bases of both observed galactic spectra and state-of-the-art evolutionary synthesis models. The Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) has a 4m primary, and a 5 degree field of view, accommodate as many as 4000 optical fibers. It can obtain the spectra of objects as faint as down to B = 20.5 mag with an exposure of 1.5 hour, promising a very high spectrum acquiring rate of ten-thousands of spectra per night. In this talk, we introduce the progress of the LAMOST project, its surveys and show the spectral synthesis code that we are developing for the LAMOST ExtraGAlactic Surveys (LEGAS).
