The night before, a friend suddenly told that the next morning to go to the Mausoleum of Huangdi ancestors. I've heard many stories of the Mausoleum of Huangdi, also saw some of the earlier presentations, this time to the Ching Ming Festival to pay homage, naturally very happy.
Originally said seven o'clock in the morning to eat, a collection, but I woke up early, packed up a good thing, sitting in waiting room companion. Then I have some at a loss, Shouhou the silence, can not be considered in any mood. I know very little about what the Yellow Emperor, unlike his honor, as clearly aware of the sage contribution. Now, you want to pay homage to a primitive society of the emperor, but also public memorial ceremony, and my heart is somewhat puzzled.
Ate a simple breakfast, put on that piece of "癸未years, the Yellow Emperor Xuan Yuan Ching Ming public memorial ceremony to commemorate" the gold medal, with the scheduled vehicles rushed to the tomb to embark on a journey. S tomb is located in Huangling County north of the bridge hill, located in northern Shaanxi, Xi'an and Yan'an in the middle of about 200 kilometers away from Xi'an, the journey takes two hours. The public memorial ceremony activities are generally arranged to Huangdi Mausoleum at Temple Square, so arrive early there.
The team to build a new highway along the northern Shaanxi advance. Driving north, soon after leaving Qinchuan into the mountains, while the plateau all the way up style are also increasingly thick. Vehicles in the valley, where Shui to Guaiqu, it seems like no end in sight, people feel tired. Looked from the window, where mountain not as rich Xi'an rain, dry loess fine sticky and solid. Although there is full of loess can not give soft feeling, it looks like the cliff-like slope of loess-like solid rock. At the moment, a Dao Ling, a Road slope, there is no green up, quiet mountain where a layer of fine cashmere hooded yellow, scattered with some open pear branches, to the Mountain View, Chad Tim had a bit warm Xiuse. Although this is not a classic in the Loess Plateau, but I first view, the loess style quite a profound impression.
Sat in the car, relying on light and spacious windows, flashing scenes look at the scenery along the way to go. Along the road, on a large poster hangs a lot of bridges, "Huang Ti was the human ancestor of the Chinese nation", "Cooper 1000 Cong Ying deficits, heart Xiang Ji Huangling a cone." Solemn people think this day is extraordinary.
Used to put "We are the Chinese people," often talked about, but why we are Chinese, how great the Yellow Emperor, a great and to what degree, they know much, but a parrot. Now come to pay homage to the Yellow Emperor to deal with their own ancestors to make more understanding, a probe the mind concentrated up. Fortunately, a friend sent a pre-trip book on the Yellow Emperor's book, out going over before giving the impression that their ancestors had more.
Huang Ti surname Kung-sun, No. Xuan Yuan's, specifically the age of birth and death unknown. However, the information from existing research, the Yellow Emperor Habitat bit of time passed since 4986-year history, thus can imagine the full age of the Yellow Emperor's health. Interestingly, the birth of the Yellow Emperor and God is also the same, there are many mysterious legends. A typical legend, "see the Big Dipper-axial electro-optical satellite photos around the countryside, a sense of attached-bao, pregnancy 25 months, the Health and the Yellow Emperor Yu Ting Qiu." Bao said here today that by-laws, that is, the Yellow Emperor's mother. However, there is a more objective statement, the Yellow Emperor is less dian tribe and a descendant of Qiao Shi, due to record "Code of Xi to marry in a few Qiao Shi, the Health and the Yellow Emperor."
Yan, Huang 2 Emperor's becoming through the ages have been respected figure in the development of society in its significant contribution. It is said that 5,000 years ago around the middle reaches of the Yellow River has formed a number of tribes, including inflammation, yellow two tribes. Yandi family ancestors invented the cultivation of cereals Shennong, the early start of agricultural operations. To the Yan Emperor, the further development of the mountain farming in agriculture, making pottery, weaving linen, research medicine, and become a tribal leader. At the same time, the Yellow Emperor is also developing stronger tribes, and conquered the Yan Emperor, becoming co-head of the two tribes. During the Yellow Emperor ranking position in the development of farming the same time, actively promote the civilization and progress, development of clothing, to master the use of fire, especially in cooking and barbecues, the invention of food processing, pioneered medicine, the invention of writing, logging build houses , creating a car and boat, the establishment of a religion, and wars with other tribes to occupy a large area of territory, the establishment of the Chinese civilization, the Yellow Emperor hailed as the ancestors of the Chinese nation. It is said that the Yellow Emperor lived for 110 years, died in Jingshan, buried in the bridge hill.
Nine more minutes, we arrived at Huangling County, rushed to the ceremony for the Yellow Emperor Temple Square. At this point, the entire square packed scenes are very ambitious. Who accompanied us said, whenever the time of the Ching Ming and pay homage to Huangdi the Yellow Emperor, Huangdi Mausoleum Hashiyama packed Huangling County 10000 Lane City, also were empty. Festivals and events first-governmental organizations, public memorial ceremony, and memorial activities in the private sector.
9:50 am, the ceremony officially began, stood in after the release ring 34 gun salute, which is representative of the country 34 provinces, autonomous regions and aspirations of children of the SAR. The reason why the ceremony to begin to determine the hours of the time, but also with the worship of the five in Kowloon honor guard flag streamers, like reason. Kowloon colored means that 95 Extreme, Kowloon Chaozong, is paramount. Subsequently, the Shaanxi provincial governor read癸未ceremony for years, Xuan Yuan Ching Ming tomb text, followed by representatives of all walks of life in turn-xian baskets of flowers and flower surface. Surface flowers is to use flour made from a variety of tricks, the local folk customs and foods.
Ritual is completed, enter the temple to worship the Yellow Emperor.

Bai Guo Xuan Yuan Temple, and then went to pay homage tomb. Tomb hill, the middle of the bridge, sitting north to south and 34 meters high, 200 square meters radius. From the research, the Mausoleum of Huangdi tomb fief in the Qin Dynasty, the Tang dynasty tomb has since increased, but the basic look has been maintained until today.

Yellow Emperor is a primitive era of civilization and progress, one of the fastest times on the formation of social accumulation entered a new period of development laid the economic, cultural, technological, and political base. There is now the eyes of the Yellow Emperor, is no longer a king, nor what is the creator of things, but a spirit, is to create a civilization, build a future source of strength. The Yellow Emperor called the common ancestor of the Chinese nation, not stick above the origin, but on the creation of national culture, inheritance, and development.

And pay homage to Huangdi, or should inherit and carry forward the spirit of civilization and progress continuously, as the Department of yellow silk belt at the plaque that lines the scarlet letter: Ji I ancestor, love my country, my people are rich, Hing I China.
