Where is the Yandi Mausoleum scenic spot? In which province is the Yandi Mausoleum located? To which city does the Yandi Mausoleum belong?

The original area of ??activity of Emperor Yan's tribe was in the southern part of today's Shaanxi Province. Later, they developed eastward along the Yellow River and clashed with the Yellow Emperor. In the Battle of Banquan, Emperor Yan was defeated by Huang Emperor, and the tribes of Emperor Yan and Huang Emperor merged to form the Huaxia tribe. Emperor Yan's activity range is very wide, with traces in the Yellow River Basin in the north and the Yangtze River Basin in the south. Such a wide range of activities also determined the dispute between the north and the south of Emperor Yan's Mausoleum. There are four mausoleums of Emperor Yan, and there are three in the Yellow River Basin: the first one is located in Chamen Township (Shennong Township), Weibin District, Baoji City, Shaanxi Province (referred to as the Mausoleum of Emperor Yan in Baoji); the second one is located in Guguan Village, Gaoping City, Shanxi Province (referred to as Gaoping Mausoleum of Emperor Yan); the third place is Zhu Xiang Mausoleum (referred to as Zhu Xiang Mausoleum) located in Shangqiu City, Henan Province. There is one place in the Yangtze River Basin, Yanling County, Hunan Province (referred to as Yanling Tomb of Emperor Yan).

1. Yanling Mausoleum in Yanling County, Hunan Province

Yandi Mausoleum Scenic Area is located in Luyuanpi, 19 kilometers west of Yanling County, Hunan Province. The mausoleum area covers an area of ??5 square kilometers. It is now a national key cultural relics protection unit and a national patriotism education demonstration base. According to historical records, there were imperial mausoleums before the Han Dynasty, and Yichang was enshrined in the Tang Dynasty. In the fifth year of Qiande in the Song Dynasty (967), "a temple was erected in front of the mausoleum, and portraits were worshiped." Since the Northern Song Dynasty, sacrifices have been carried out continuously in the past dynasties and there has been no loss of repairs. There are historical records of repairs: once in the Song Dynasty, three times in the Ming Dynasty, nine times in the Qing Dynasty, and four times in the Republic of China. A restoration was carried out in 1954. Renovation began in August 1986, and the restoration of the mausoleum was completed in October 1988.

2. Mausoleum of Emperor Yan, Baoji City, Shaanxi Province

In the south of Weihe River in Baoji City, there is Jiulong Spring, the Holy Bath, and on the spring there is the Shenlong Temple built in the Tang Dynasty. There is the Mausoleum of Emperor Yan on Changyang Mountain at the entrance of Mengyu in the south of the temple. In recent years, many compatriots at home and abroad have come to the Jiangshui Basin in Baoji many times to search for the roots and worship the group. However, the temple has been damaged and fell into disrepair. As a result, the local government rebuilt the Shenlong Temple and the Yandi Mausoleum at the place where Shennong Yandi was born, started his business, and was buried. They also built the Yandi Garden in the city center, providing a place for the descendants of Yan and Huang to pay their respects to their ancestors and pay homage to the Yandi Mausoleum.

3. The Mausoleum of Emperor Yan in Gaoping City, Shanxi Province

The Mausoleum of Emperor Yan is located in Zhuangli Village, 17 kilometers northeast of Gaoping City, Jincheng, Shanxi Province. It is commonly known as the "Emperor's Tomb". The Five Grains Temple behind the mausoleum was originally a large building, but now only five main halls and more than a dozen east and west wing rooms remain. It was built in the Yuan Dynasty and is a municipal cultural relic protection unit. The Gaoping Emperor Yan Mausoleum contains the earliest stone stele discovered so far in the Yan Emperor Mausoleum. The stele was inscribed in "Mengxia Jidan, the 39th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1611)" and was signed "Shen Yuan Shen Daotong Li".

4. Mausoleum of Emperor Yan in Shangqiu City, Henan Province

The cemetery originally had a mound with a stone tablet in front of it, with the inscription: "The Tomb of Zhu Xiang". In the early days of liberation, due to poor protection, people accumulated manure and dug soil, and the tomb was gradually reduced in size. The temple in front of the tomb was also destroyed in the early days of liberation, and its materials were used to build a primary school. The three existing main halls were originally primary school buildings, and their roofs are all made of temple building materials. The ancient-style stamped beams have carved beams and painted tiles, which are exquisitely crafted; the large bricks and small tiles are antique. After the primary school was relocated, only a mound about 1 meter high, three main halls and a saponaria tree in the courtyard remained. In 2001, in order to develop tourism, the Zhecheng County People's Government allocated 300,000 yuan to raise the height of the mausoleum to 10.9 meters, and built a 1.5-meter-high bluestone wall around it, with a circumference of 158 meters and a diameter of 50 meters. The mausoleum is surrounded by bluestone steps with a height of 50 meters, which means "the sky is round and the place is round". In front of the mausoleum, there is a stele inscription "Ling of Emperor Yan Zhu Xiang", an incense pond and four stele towers. In 2003, after the site was approved as a municipal cultural relic protection unit by the Shangqiu Municipal People's Government, funds were allocated to repair the mountain gate, build walls for the temple, set up protection signs, and delineate the scope of protection.
