Where is the location of Huangdi City Cultural Tourism Area?

Huangdi City Cultural Tourism Area is located 2 kilometers west of Fanshan Town, Zhuolu County. It is 120 kilometers away from Beijing in the east and 80 kilometers away from Zhangjiakou in the west. "Eternal civilization began in Zhuolu". Five thousand years ago, the three great humanistic ancestors of the Chinese nation, Huangdi, Yandi, and Chiyou, lived and worked here, fought, integrated, and established capitals, creating a five-thousand-year history of Chinese civilization. According to legend, this was the first capital city built by the Yellow Emperor after defeating Chi You and Emperor Yan. A number of scenic spots such as the Chinese Three Ancestors Hall, Huangdi Spring, Huangdi City Ancient City Ruins, and Xuanyuan Lake have been developed and constructed.

According to "Historical Records", it is said that the Yandi and Huangdi tribes who lived in Shaanxi 5,000 years ago lived next to each other and were both relatively powerful. The Yellow Emperor lived in Jishui, and the Yan Emperor lived in Jiangshui. In order to find open and fertile land for settlement, the Huangdi tribe migrated eastward, crossed the Yellow River, and trekked thousands of miles along the Taihang Mountains to the Zhuolu area on the lower reaches of the Sanggan River. At the same time, the Yandi tribe also moved eastward one after another. The Yandi tribe marched eastward along the south bank of the Yellow River and reached the area of ??present-day Shandong, where they had a war with the Chiyou tribe. Emperor Yan could not defeat Chi You, so he ran to Zhuolu to ask Huang Emperor for help. The Yellow Emperor was unwilling to participate in the war, so the two tribes fought three battles in Banquan. The Yandi tribe was defeated, which was known as the "Battle of Banquan" in history. After the Battle of Banquan, Emperor Yan surrendered to Huang Emperor and formed a tribal alliance headed by Huang Emperor. At this time, Chi You also chased Zhuolu and built a camp, known as Chi You Village, preparing to compete with the Yanhuang Alliance.

The Yellow Emperor Yandi tribe alliance launched a protracted war with the Chiyou tribe in the wilderness of Zhuolu. The Battle of Zhuolu, which has been mythologized by later generations, ended with the Yellow Emperor's victory. After Chi You's death, part of his tribe surrendered to the Yellow Emperor, and part of it went south to merge with the indigenous Miao tribe. After the war, the three tribes of Yan, Huang and Chi united and settled in the Sangqian Basin. They became increasingly powerful and formed the prototype of the Chinese nation in line with Busan. When Hu Zeng, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, visited Zhuolu, he expressed the following emotion about this war: "Zhuolu has vast white grass in autumn, and Xuanyuan once defeated Chiyou. The red clouds reflect the water in front of the temple, which is suspected to be the blood flowing in Chengchuan." ”

Now there is a highland in the Zhuolu Wilderness, which is said to be the parking platform for the Yellow Emperor’s compass. The Battle of Banquan between Huangdi and Yandi in the wilderness of Zhuolu, and the Battle of Zhuolu between Huangdi, Yandi and Chi You are wars of real significance in the history of our country. They are not only important symbols of the origin of ancient wars in our country. , and it is also an important symbol of the formation of our country's military culture. The "China Millennium Monument" in Beijing has recorded the historically decisive "Three Ancestors and Two Wars" on the 262-meter bronze corridor to serve as a reminder to future generations.
