Baoji, the hometown of Emperor Yan, is one of the birthplaces of the Chinese nation. As early as 5,000 years ago in ancient times, the Jiang tribe headed by Shennong lived here. Located on Yangshan Mountain, Shenlong Town, Weibin District, Baoji City, Yandiling is the main place for Chinese descendants to seek roots and worship their ancestors.

Emperor Yan, named Shenlong, is the ancestor of Shenlong clan and was born in Jiang Shui. Huangdi, the ancestor of Xuanyuan, was born in Jishui. According to "Mandarin", about 5,000 years ago, there was a matriarchal clan on the land of Western Qin Dynasty-Youyou clan, and later twins Yan Di and Huangdi were born. Huangdi tribe originally lived in the lower reaches of Weihe River, and later moved to the Central Plains. Yan Di tribe lives in Baoji area and is famous for its agriculture.

In Jiangchengbao area of Baoji City, Qingjiang River flows, Jiangchengbao is backed by Qinling Mountain and faces Beishouling across Weihe River. The terrain is relatively open, which provides a vast land resource for agricultural production. Jiangshicheng site discovered in Jiangbao area covers an area of about 490,000 square meters. The largest house in the site is10.7m long,10.5m wide and covers an area of about124m, while the largest house in Beishouling site covers an area of only 88m. The unearthed production tools and pottery are similar to those in Beishouling and relatively advanced. It can be seen that the period of Jiangcheng Castle Ruins is the period of prosperity and development of the clan tribes in Beishouling, and it is the transitional period from matriarchal clan commune to paternal clan commune, which is consistent with the legendary Yan Emperor era. At present, more than 40 ancient cultural sites have been discovered in Baoji. Numerous ancient cultural sites reflect the process of the prosperity and development of Yan Di tribes.

Yan Di tribes, centering on Baoji, expanded around the Weihe River and developed westward to the Central Plains, where the land is flat and fertile, the climate is humid, and primitive agriculture has been developed for a long time. The tribe began to settle down, with its capital in Chen, then moved to Shandong and its capital in Qufu. Later, the Yan Di tribe fought against Chiyou in the south, turned to the Huangdi tribe, and defeated Chiyou in Zhuolu. Later, the alliance of Yanhuang tribes formed the main body of the Chinese nation. Later, some Yan Di tribes moved south, leaving footprints in the two lakes, and some stayed in the Yellow River valley, merged with other clan tribes, and still worshipped Yan Di as their ancestors. Now there is also Yandiling in Lingxian County, Hunan Province, and Suizhou, Hubei Province is also known as the hometown of Shenlong, but Yandiling in Baoji is the earliest.

Baoji is the birthplace of Emperor Yan. Yan Di was born in Mengyugou, Tiantai Mountain, Baoji, and grew up in Jiang Shui. He is the god of agriculture and the saint of medicine. Because he is the Fire King, he was named Yan Di and Shennong. It is recorded in The Legend of the White Tiger No.1 that ancient people all ate the meat of animals. As for Shennong, there are many people and not enough livestock, so Shennong is called Shennong because of its favorable weather, geographical location, human harmony, deification and human harmony.

There is a holy Longquan bathing in Weihe River in the urban area, and there is Tang Jian Shenlong Temple on the spring. On Changyang Mountain in Mengyukou, south of the temple, there is Yan Di's mausoleum. In recent years, many compatriots at home and abroad have visited the Jiangshuigou in Baoji many times in batches to find their roots, but the mausoleum has been damaged and disrepair. Therefore, Shenlong Temple and Yandi Mausoleum were rebuilt in the place where Yandi was born, started a business and was buried in Shennong, and Yandi Garden was built in the city center, which provided a place for Chinese descendants to worship their ancestors and pay homage to Yan Di.

Yandi Mausoleum is divided into three parts: front area, sacrificial area and tomb area.

There are many ancient archways in the area in front of the mausoleum, from Jiangcheng Castle to Yu Meng at the entrance of Tiantai Mountain, which are written with the words "Yan Di's hometown", "Shennong's hometown", "Shennong Gate" and "outstanding people".

Enter the mountain gate, that is, enter the sacrificial area, walk hundreds of steps and come to the Lingtai where the mountain gate is located. There is a stone tablet outside the door, engraved with three Chinese characters "Changyangshan", written by the famous calligrapher Wu Sanda.

Climb to the top of the mountain, and you will arrive at Yangshou Pavilion. Inside and beside the pavilion, there are steles inscribed with "Chang" and "Shanhai Town", of which the latter is the remains of the city rebuilt in Jiaqing, Qing Dynasty for three years.

There are five halls in Yan Di Temple, and the couplets on the left and right sides are written by calligrapher Ru Gui. "For thousands of years, there will be people who discriminate against Emperor Yan, and it is said that An Tian misses Shennong and shines everywhere" to express his reverence for Emperor Yan. In front of the temple is a sacrifice square, which can accommodate thousands of people to sacrifice. There are Drum Tower Pavilion and Bell Pavilion on both sides of the square. The main hall, with an area of 400 square meters and a height of12m, is a hall with A Qing style. In the center of the hall is the statue of Emperor Yan, 4.5 meters high, with bright eyes and solemn kindness. On both sides of the temple, there are large murals about Emperor Yan, which are the alliance of Changyang Imperial Beauty, Bathing Holy Kowloon, Saturnalia, Sun God, Medicine God and Emperor Yan, telling the life and achievements of Emperor Yan.

Yandi Shennong, whose mother is called An Deng. A woman swimming in Huayang, with a sense of dragon (An Deng), was born in Yandi, Yangshan. She is a bull's head, longer than Jiang Shui. After Emperor Yan bathed in Jiulongquan, the horns on his head disappeared and he became smarter. Later, he became the leader of the Chiang family. Emperor Yan taught the people to make pottery, which began with thunder, lowered cattle and taught the people to plow, making the primitive times progress from gathering and hunting to agriculture, and people respected him as "the god of agriculture".

After Emperor Yan got a bumper harvest of grain, because of the difference between Yin and Yang, it only bloomed without fruit. So Emperor Yan brought the colorful birds back to the sun from the East China Sea. Since then, the whole people have been happy. Because Emperor Yan founded "Japan and China are the city" and initiated primitive agriculture, he was praised as "God of the Sun" by the world. The place where he initiated the idea of "Japan is the city" is called "Sun City Ruins", which is now located in a valley west of Lotus Peak in Tiantai. Emperor Yan tasted all kinds of herbs and developed drugs. It is said that he encountered 70 kinds of poisons a day. 65,438+0, 40 years old, went to Tiantai Mountain to collect herbs, and accidentally tasted "Huozizi" (Herba Lysimachiae), and died for the people. Therefore, later generations compiled Shennong Baicao Jing.

Passing through the sacrificial area, you enter the tomb area. Along Longling Road, there are hundreds of statues of emperors standing on both sides, with a total number of *** 16, which are arranged in historical order: Yao, Shun, Yu, Qi,, Ban Geng,,,,, Zheng Wangzhuang, Qi Huangong, Qin Mugong, Song Xianggong and so on.

Along the road of the mausoleum, you come to the front of Yandi Mausoleum, majestic and solemn. This is a sacred place for China people to pay homage to their ancestors. The word "Yan Di Ling" is elegant and free, which was inscribed by Qi Gong, honorary chairman of the National Book Association.

Every year on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month and the anniversary of Emperor Yan's sacrifice in Tomb-Sweeping Day, people from all walks of life at home and abroad gather in the Mausoleum of Emperor Yan and the Temple of Emperor Yan to hold a grand public sacrifice ceremony in memory of Emperor Yan, the ancestor of mankind.
