There is also a "Yandi Mausoleum" in Baoji, Shaanxi Province, which is located at the top of Changyang Mountain and few tourists know it.

Baoji, a tourist city with a long history, profound cultural heritage and beautiful natural scenery, has a history of more than 2,7 years, with cultural relics and historical sites all over the territory. Four national treasures in the late Qing Dynasty, namely four bronze treasures in the Western Zhou Dynasty, have been unearthed, and it is known as the "hometown of bronze wares". In addition, many people may not know that Baoji also has the reputation of "the hometown of Emperor Yan".

When it comes to Yandi's hometown, I have to mention the Yandi Mausoleum in Baoji, which is one of the famous tourist attractions in Baoji.

Yandi Mausoleum, located on Changyang Mountain in Shenlong Town, Weibin District, Baoji City, Shaanxi Province, can be reached by bus No.4 or No.6 from the urban area. As a key cultural relic protection unit in Shaanxi Province, Yandi Mausoleum with profound historical and cultural heritage is well worth visiting, and the mountain scenery is also very beautiful.

As mentioned earlier, Baoji is the hometown of Yandi, whose name is Shennong, and it is the leader of the tribe named Jiang in ancient times. According to legend, its birthplace is located in Mengyugou, Tiantai Mountain, Baoji City. It can be seen that Yandi and its Qiang tribe lived here as early as 5, years ago in ancient times. Today, Yandi Mausoleum is the main place for the descendants of the Yellow Emperor to seek roots and worship their ancestors. In recent years, many compatriots at home and abroad have come here to seek roots and worship their ancestors.

The Yandi Mausoleum is mainly composed of three parts: the front area, the sacrificial area and the tomb area. After entering the Yandi Mausoleum, you can see many ancient archways and antique buildings. The buildings are classical and dignified, and you can see many totem signs along the way, which are hundreds of surnames. Perhaps because it is remote, there are not many tourists here, and the scenic area seems a little deserted.

Emperor Yan first lived on the Qiang River, which is now in Baoji City. Later, with the continuous development of history, his descendants gradually migrated to Hunan, Hubei, Shanxi and other places. Therefore, Emperor Yan's hometown is not one place. There are five Yandi Mausoleums in the whole country. According to Emperor Yan I, it is only in today's Baoji City, but the most famous one in China is Yandi Mausoleum in Yanling County, Zhuzhou City, Hunan Province.

The architectural layout here is well-behaved, simple and elegant, with carved beams and painted buildings. It is built along the central axis according to the mountain trend. It is a typical national feature and architectural style in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In front of the temple, there are incense burners for offering sacrifices. If there is a grand festival, people who come to burn incense are in an endless stream, which is particularly lively.

After passing through these ancient buildings imitating the Ming and Qing Dynasties, we came to Lingqian District, where the view is very wide, and we can see the sculpture of Emperor Yan and the sacrificial area in the high place. On both sides of the statue of Emperor Yan, there are eight characters inscribed "hometown of Emperor Yan and hometown of Chinese". It is said that it has been rebuilt now, so we should enjoy it when we go again next time.

Behind the sculpture is an extraordinarily tall hall. In the center of the hall stands the statue of Emperor Yan. It looks extraordinarily tall and burly, with a stalwart figure and bright eyes, as if watching everything. The dome-shaped design on the top of the head gives people a radiant feeling. As a descendant of the Chinese people, this situation is full of admiration.

Through the main hall, you can see a long staircase stretching to the top of the mountain. It is reported that there are 999 steps. After reaching the top of the mountain, you will come to the mausoleum of Emperor Yan, and you can also overlook the magnificent scenery of the whole mausoleum of Emperor Yan.

I don't know. Have you ever been to or heard of the "Yandi Mausoleum" in Baoji, Shaanxi? What's your impression of the scenery here? If you had the chance, would you come here to seek roots and worship your ancestors? Welcome to leave a comment.
