Basic introduction to the Yellow Emperor’s Mausoleum Tourist Area in Yan’an
Yan'an Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum Tourist Area is a famous tourist destination for Yan'an's cultural landscape.
The Chinese nation has a long and glorious history, with a civilization history of five thousand years. These five thousand years of civilization history mainly start from the founding of the Yellow Emperor (the founding of the country). Sun Yat-sen's poem to commemorate the Yellow Emperor's mausoleum begins with "Five thousand years since the founding of China, Xuanyuan of China has been passed down from ancient times, created the compass, quelled Chi You's chaos, and I am the first to lead the civilization of the world."
The Huangdi Mausoleum, the largest mausoleum in the world, is located in Huangling County, Yan'an City. The Yellow Emperor, surnamed Gongsun and named Xuanyuan, was born in a matrilineal clan society. The mother's name was Fu Bao. According to historical records: "On the second day of the second lunar month, the Yellow Emperor was born in the Jianglong Gorge of Juyuan Pass on the bank of the Jushui River (today's Jushui River in Huangling County). From then on, the dragon raised its head on the second day of the second lunar month." Auspicious words. Sima Qian described the Yellow Emperor like this in "Historical Records": "Born as a god, weak and eloquent, young and partisan, long and agile, mature and intelligent." It can be seen that Huangdi was not an ordinary person from his birth to his growth. He was supported by the people as the chief of Xuanyuan tribe at the age of 15, and ascended to the throne of emperor at the age of 37. The great contribution of Huangdi in his life was that after fifty-three battles, he defeated Yugong and surrendered Emperor Yan. , killed Chi, ended the war, unified the three major tribes, bid farewell to the barbaric era, established the world's first country with an emperor, and was elected as the first emperor of the Chinese nation. Human civilization began from this point on. Therefore, later generations of people respected Xuanyuan Huangdi as the "first ancestor of humanities" and "the ancestor of civilization". For this reason, Yan'an is also known as the birthplace of the Chinese nation.
The Yellow Emperor is the ancestor of the Chinese nation. He was born on the Loess Plateau in northern Shaanxi. The Huangdi tribe mainly lived on the Loess Plateau in northern Shaanxi. After his death, the Yellow Emperor was buried on the top of Qiaoshan in today's Huangling County. Since the temple was built in the fifth year of Emperor Dali of the Tang Dynasty, this place has been the place where all dynasties held national sacrifices. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, sacrificial ceremonies have been held here every year during the Qingming Festival and Double Ninth Festival. In particular, the public sacrifice during the Qingming Festival has become a traditional sacrificial ceremony of the Chinese nation. The Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor is a sacred place for the Chinese nation, and overseas Chinese hail it as the "Mecca of the East." In 1962, the State Council announced that it was one of the first batch of key cultural relics protection units in the country, and was listed as the "No. 1 Ancient Tomb" and known as the "No. 1 Mausoleum in the World." The Huangdi Mausoleum area has charming scenery. At the foot of the mountain is the Xuanyuan Temple built in the Han Dynasty. The stele gallery on the east side of the temple houses 57 sacrificial steles made by emperors of all dynasties. Now there are "Return Monuments" from Hong Kong and Macao. There are 816,000 thousand-year-old cypresses in Qiaoshan, where the mausoleum and temple are located, making it the largest group of ancient cypresses in my country. In the temple, it is said that the Yellow Emperor planted a cypress with his own hands. It is more than 20 meters high and 11 meters in diameter at breast height. It is strong and straight, with a crown that covers the sky. It is the oldest and largest cypress tree in my country.
