reflections on the mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor

Sima Qian wrote in Historical Records: "The Yellow Emperor collapsed and was buried in Qiaoshan", which became strong evidence that Qiaoshan was the burial place of the Yellow Emperor in Xuanyuan, the ancestor of China. Since the Spring and Autumn Period, there has been an activity of offering sacrifices to the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor in Qiaoshan.

Huangdi Mausoleum is known as the No.1 Mausoleum in the world. It is undoubtedly exciting and exciting to visit it. Because I stubbornly believe that the Yellow Emperor is a legendary figure in my bones, I didn't have much devotion to my ancestors when I went there, but I was more interested in XuanYuanbai, which is 5, years old.

In order to go there, I got up at five o'clock in the morning, and it was nearly eleven o'clock in the morning after tossing to the Huangdi Mausoleum. The Huangdi Mausoleum consists of Xuanyuan Temple and the Mausoleum. The first place we arrived was Xuanyuan Temple.

It was stipulated after the Qin Dynasty unified China that the tombs of the sons of heaven should all be called "tombs", and "temples" must be set next to the tombs of the sons of heaven from the Han Dynasty. "The temple was built in the Han Dynasty and expanded in the Tang Dynasty, and it was moved in the Song Dynasty", which has a long history of Xuanyuan Temple. Walk through the area in front of the temple paved with 5, large river pebbles, symbolizing the 5,-year civilization history of the Chinese nation, then walk through the 66-meter-long Xuanyuan Bridge across the Juhe River, and finally walk through the 95-step Longwei Road symbolizing the supreme meaning of the Yellow Emperor's "Ninth Five-Year Plan", and finally come to the front gate of the temple. It's really an ancestral tomb. There are so many rules.

In the Huangdi Mausoleum, Qingming Festival and Chongyang Festival have two big ancestor worship activities. When we went, it happened to be the eve of Chongyang, and the scenic spot was decorated with ancestor worship activities. From the front of the temple to the mountain gate, the red carpet has been paved all the way. Red lanterns are hung on both sides of Xuanyuan Bridge, and yellow flags are fluttering on both sides of Longwei Road. Yellow hot air balloons carrying slogans are flying in mid-air. Red and yellow, two gorgeous colors form a dignified beauty.

When I walked through the mountain gate, the first thing that caught my eye was XuanYuanBai, whom I had admired for a long time. Although there are other ancient cypresses in the courtyard, you will never confuse XuanYuanBai with other ancient cypresses. The years of 5, years are not the time to flick a sword. The rings of time and the wind knives of years make XuanYuanBai different. This cypress was planted by the Yellow Emperor himself, with 19 meters high, vigorous branches and green cypress leaves, and the dry trunk reached the sky. Like a weather-beaten wise old man, he witnessed the vicissitudes of time in China, telling the stories he knows silently and soundly.

So, why did the Yellow Emperor plant such a cypress tree? Legend has it that the Yellow Emperor defeated Chiyou, established a tribal alliance, and settled in Qiaoshan. Due to long-term slash and burn, the vegetation was bare, which led to flash floods. After the Yellow Emperor discovered the problem, he took the lead in planting a small cypress tree, and his subjects would naturally follow suit. Since then, afforestation has become a fine tradition of the Chinese nation, which has been continued from generation to generation, which is also the reason why there are many cypresses in Qiaoshan.

Standing in front of XuanYuanBai, watching the light and shadow of the sun leave mottled shadows on the trunk, my thoughts drifted to ancient times. To tell the truth, I know very little about the Yellow Emperor, and I have little interest in that era of eating and drinking blood, but I will inexplicably give birth to surging emotions. It should be because the blood of the descendants of the Chinese people is flowing in our bodies ...

Continue northward, walk through Chengxin Pavilion, jump over the Monument Pavilion, and you really enter the main hall of Xuanyuan Temple, a place of sacrifice. There are inscriptions written by Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, Sun Yat-sen and Chiang Kai-shek to the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor. "No matter who sits as emperor, he will never forget his ancestors when he ascended the throne." This folk song is really in place. As the old saying goes, words are like people. In the inscriptions of these four great men, if you look carefully, it is really true.

The main hall of Xuanyuan Temple is seven rooms wide and three rooms deep, resting on the top of the mountain. At that time, there were many people who came to offer sacrifices, cigarettes curled up and ancient cypresses were deep, so they had the illusion of a fairyland.

The tall cypress on the west side is the "Hanwu Guajia cypress" whose reputation is no less than that of XuanYuanbai. According to legend, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty came to this mausoleum, the armor he unloaded was hung on this tree. Since then, the cypress tree has been covered with spots all over its body, and cypress liquid flows out from time to time, as if there were broken nails. What's even more amazing is that before Tomb-Sweeping Day every year, the cypress liquid that flows out condenses into a ball, just like it is covered with pearls and gems, which is dazzling. After the Qingming Festival, this scene will be lost. Isn't that amazing?

In the main hall, there is a relief statue of the Yellow Emperor carved by Moyu, surrounded by four spiritual statues of Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku and Xuanwu. On both sides of the hall are stele corridors, which are inscribed with inscriptions by rulers of past dynasties offering sacrifices to tombs.

After walking through the main hall, you will arrive at Xuanyuan Square, which has just been built. It was completely built in response to the ancestor worship activities of the people.

The 56 yellow flags fluttering in the wind symbolize the great unity of 56 ethnic groups, and the drums stand on both sides. The main hall of the square is supported by 36 large stone pillars, which symbolizes the unity of Kyushu. The statue of the Yellow Emperor is enshrined in the center of the hall, and the floor is paved with five colors symbolizing five colored stones. A large circular "skylight" is opened at the top of the hall, which symbolizes a round place. This place is completely a venue for the interpretation of Chinese civilization.

What I saw and heard in Xuanyuan Temple reminded me of the novels I had been searching for-Searching for the Gods and The Wild Fox under the Tree, and the stories of the ancestors of China written in fantasy. In the book, TaBaYe, the hero, swept the five families and invented the south guide car. He must be the Yellow Emperor of Xuanyuan. He should have finished writing The Wild. I wonder if he has revealed that TaBaYe is the Yellow Emperor of Xuanyuan?
