Where to travel in June?

It is a national AAAA-level scenic spot and a national key cultural relics protection unit. It is a holy place for Chinese people at home and abroad to find their roots and worship their ancestors. It is also the venue for the ancestor worship ceremony of the 18th World Hakka Congress and the ancestor worship ceremony of the Yellow Emperor’s hometown over the years. The ancestor worship ceremony in the hometown of the Yellow Emperor in Xinzheng is among the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage. Xinzheng, the hometown of the Yellow Emperor, is undisputed. Tianshui, according to legend, was the Gulu Kingdom established here by the descendants of the Yellow Emperor. Many local place names named in memory of the ancestor Huangdi are related to Huangdi, leading to misinformation. After the Lu people moved to Shandong, they brought Shouxiang and other related place names and legends here. Kong Anguo, a Han Dynasty scholar and the eleventh grandson of Confucius, took the opportunity to elevate the status of his ancestor Confucius and forged the theory of Shouqiu in Shandong, the hometown of the Yellow Emperor. . Later historians made mistakes again and again, and the misinformation continues to this day. However, through the analysis of historical materials, we can find obvious errors and contradictions: First of all, Shouqiu emerged as a place name in Shandong Province. According to "Qingyi Tongzhi": "Shoushan is located in the north of the state, with Lugu Water below." Shoushan is not high, so the locals also call it Shoushiu. It is the place where the descendants of the Yellow Emperor surnamed Lu lived. Later, the state of Lu moved to present-day Shandong, and the place name Shouqiu also came to Shandong. At the beginning of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, it was sealed here. This was the rise of the Lu State in the Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, the legend that the Yellow Emperor was born in Shouqiu should originate from the ancient Shouqiu in Tianshui. It was written by the descendants of the Yellow Emperor in memory of their ancestors after they moved to Tianshui, not Shouqiu in Shandong. Second, there are inconsistencies in ancient historical records. Huangfu Mi, the author of "Emperor Century" said: "The Yellow Emperor was born in Shouqiu and grew up in Jishui." He also said, "(Yellow Emperor) had a bear in the host country. It lived on Xuanyuan Mountain, so it was named after it and also after its name. Nicknamed. There is also Jin Xiong, Henan Xinzheng. However, Shaodian, the ancestor of the Yellow Emperor, was Xiong. How could a Shaodian who lived with Xiong give birth to the Yellow Emperor in Shouqiu, Shandong, raise him in Jishui, Shaanxi, and then return to Xinzheng to let him succeed? Third, according to ancient historical records, there was a Dongyi tribe in Shandong at the same time as the Yellow Emperor, and its leader was Shaohao. Chi You was one of the leaders of the Shaohao nation and later fought alongside the Yellow Emperor in the Wilderness of Zhuolu. How could Xiong Shaodian’s son Huang Di be born in the territory? Fourth, according to archaeological discoveries, the ancient culture of the Central Plains developed from the Peiligang Culture to the Yangshao Culture, and the ancient culture of Shandong developed from the Beixin Culture to the Dawenkou Culture. Judging from the unearthed cultural relics and their living cultural relics, the two cultural types are quite different, and each can form its own system. Therefore, it is impossible for Huangdi, who belonged to the Yangshao culture, and Shaohao, who belonged to the Dawenkou culture, to be born in Shouqiu, Shandong at the same time. Jishui in Shaanxi is also named after Zhou people (surnamed Ji) moved to Weishui. The real Guji water is the water recorded in "Shuowen" and "Shui Jing Zhu", which is the water in Xinzheng today. The theory of Kunlun is derived from the myths in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" and is not sufficient. Only Xinzheng, Henan Province, said that from historical facts to legends, from place names to ruins, and from its unique geographical location, it is beyond doubt that this place is the true hometown of the Yellow Emperor. According to a large number of historical records and cultural relics, the Yellow Emperor’s hometown scenic spot is located to the north of Xuanyuan Road in Xinzheng City, Henan Province, covering an area of ??more than 100 acres. The Huangdi Hometown Temple was first built in the Han Dynasty and has been destroyed and restored throughout the ages. In the fifty-fourth year of Emperor Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1751), Xu, the magistrate of Xinzheng County, erected a monument to Xuanyuan's hometown. In order to carry forward the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation and commemorate the merits of our ancestors. In recent years, the Xinzheng Municipal People's Government has expanded the Yellow Emperor's Hometown Scenic Area. The expanded Yellow Emperor's hometown scenic spot is divided into five areas: square area, ancestral hall area, Dingtan area, Yiyuan area and Xuanyuan Qiu area. In the square of the front temple, there are thousand-year-old jujube trees, locust trees, century-old ginkgo, pine and cypress ginseng, the "Qiankun Relief Plate" stands on the middle road, the gurgling water under the Xuanyuan Bridge, and the "Xuanyuan Huangdi Monument" stands on its right side.

The building covered with caves uses illusory techniques to show the elegance of the Yellow Emperor. Next to Xuanqiu is the Huangdi Culture and Art Park, which brings together the rich and colorful Huangdi culture and art. There are many historical records that the Xuanyuan clan, the ancestor of humanities, the Yellow Emperor, was born and founded in Xinzheng, Henan, so Xinzheng, Henan is also the hometown of the Yellow Emperor! "Da Ming Yi Tong Zhi" of the Ming Dynasty: "Xuanyuan Qiu is located in Xinzheng County. In ancient times, there was a great country, and Xuanyuan Huangdi was born." In the "Inscription of the Reconstruction of the Main Hall" of the Xuanyuan Clan Ancestral Hall in the 29th year of Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty, it says, "In ancient times, Zhengyi was the Xuanyuan Clan. There is the Xuanyuan Mountain ruins in the north of the old city. Later, it became a tourist attraction.

[Edit this paragraph] Attraction History The First Dynasty in Chinese History Around 3000 BC, tens of thousands of tribes of various sizes lived in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. These tribes, large and small, often unite to form a large tribal alliance in order to cope with the invasion or external expansion of other tribes. At that time, among these tribes, there were three most powerful tribes. One is Xiong You (now Xinzheng City, Henan Province), who lives at the eastern foot of Songshan Mountain south of the middle reaches of the Yellow River. Its leader is Ji Xuanyuan. He is an extremely intelligent and capable leader, a statesman, a military strategist and a scientist. One is the Jiuli tribe, which lives in the Jishui area on the lower reaches of the Yellow River (today's northern Hubei and southern Henan), the most powerful and combat-effective tribe. Its leader is Chi You. One is the Shennong tribe living in Qiuchen (now Huaiyang, Henan). The leader of Shennong was named Yan Di, and it had been passed down to the eighth generation of King Yu. "Guoyu·Jinyusi" says: "In the past, Shaodian married the Jiao family and gave birth to Huangdi. They were born with different virtues. Huangdi was born in Jishui City, and his surname was Ji. Emperor Yan was born in Jiangshui City, and his surname was Jiang." It seems that Huangdi and Emperor Yan is still a brother. It is said that in the Shennong era, Emperor Yan was the emperor, and all clans, tribes or tribal alliances had to obey the emperor's orders. However, the Shennong tribe had declined at this time, and the clans and tribes were attacking each other, especially the Jiuli tribe, who were robbing and plundering everywhere. The people suffered greatly, but Shennong Yandi was unable to stop it. At this time, the bear tribe is rising. Its leader Ji Xuanyuan often mediates tribal disputes, convinces people with reason, and conquers those who do not listen to advice with force. In this way, many tribes no longer obey Yan Emperor's orders. In fact, Ji Xuanyuan has replaced Yan Emperor as emperor. In order to keep his position as emperor, Emperor Yan sent troops to attack the tribes that obeyed Ji Xuanyuan. In this way, the more you attack, the more those tribes will return to Ji Xuanyuan. So Ji Xuanyuan led his six or seven tribes to fight against Emperor Yan at Hanquan (in today's Fugou, Henan, and Zhuolu County, Hebei). After three major battles, Emperor Yan was defeated and surrendered to Ji Xuanyuan. In this way, the two tribal alliances joined forces again and took advantage of the victory to conquer the Chiyou tribe that was killing the people. Ji Xuan used wooden sticks, stone axes, and bone clusters to fight Chi You, but Chi You had already used bronze weapons, so he failed in the first battle. Seeing that he could not win for a while, Xuanyuan adopted the strategy of luring the enemy deeper and lured Chi You to Zhuolu Mountain (now Zhuolu County, Hebei Province, or Jie County, Shanxi Province) with a unique geographical environment, so that Chi You's soldiers were deprived of food and exhausted. Then, riding in the heavy fog, knowing nothing, they rushed into Chi You's military camp with a compass and captured Chi You alive. Xinzheng was first called "Xiong". Xinzheng City, Henan Province, was called "Xiong" in ancient times, and there are clear records in history books. The earliest record is the "Chronicle" in the bamboo book of the Warring States Period: "The Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, the first emperor came to the throne, and lived with the bear." Where is the bear? "Historical Records·The Chronicles of the Five Emperors·Jijie" says: "Qiao Zhou said, "(Yellow Emperor) had Xiong Guojun, the son of Shaodian. Huangfu Mi said: "There is a bear, so it is in Xinzheng, Henan Province." Li Daoyuan of the Northern Wei Dynasty's "Shui Jing Zhu" said: "It may be Xinzheng County, so there is a city of powerful troops and the capital of the Yellow Emperor." "Du You's "Tong Zhou Dian Jun Dian 7" said: "Xinzheng County, the old county of Han Dynasty, has two rivers and the ruins of Zhurong. The Yellow Emperor has bears here, which is the land of Zheng State. "The 1931 edition of the Dictionary of Ancient and Modern Chinese Place Names said: "There is a bear, the capital of the Yellow Emperor, which is now Xinzheng County, Henan Province. "The 1986-1993 edition of "Chinese Dictionary" said: "There is a bear, an ancient place name, which is said to be the capital built by the Yellow Emperor.

So the current address is Xinzheng County, Henan Province. "This is not only recorded in the history books of the past dynasties. From the Ming Dynasty to the Republic of China, "Da Ming Yitong Zhi", "Da Qing Zhi", "Henan Tongzhi Zhi", "Kaifeng Prefecture", "Xinzheng County Chronicle", etc. all recorded that there were bears in Xinzheng in ancient times. . In addition, as an inscription, Liu Wenrao of the Jin Dynasty’s "Inscriptions on the View of Virtue" said, "Zheng, in ancient times, was the country of bears and the capital of the Yellow Emperor. "Records of the Reconstruction of Taiqing Taoist Temples" in the twelfth year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty "Xinzheng, Henan, was a powerful country in ancient times. "The above documents, local chronicles, and inscriptions tell us that from the bamboo chronicles of the Warring States Period to the present, ancient Xinzheng has been consistently described as "bears." Li Xueqin, a famous contemporary historian, delivered a speech at the founding meeting of the Shizushan Chinese Holy Land Construction Promotion Association Zhong said: "People often ask this question: How credible is the legend of Xinzheng? I said that from a literary point of view, there is no problem with Xinzheng as a "majority of the market" and as a "shaodian style of the country". In the history of our country, there are records in books such as "Historical Records" and "Historical Records of Three Families". It should be said that no one has come up with any strong evidence to doubt this for about two thousand years. "As for why and when Xinzheng was called "Bear", many experts and scholars have made many high evaluations. The unanimous view is that Xinzheng probably had many bears in the Neolithic Age. The Shaodian clan uses bears as their totem, so it is called " There are bears." Many scholars believe that the era when the Shaodian clan lived was in the Peiligan Cultural Period. For example, archaeologist Xu Shunzhan said in the preface of "Xinzheng County Cultural Relics Chronicles": "According to ancient historical documents, if we compare the Xinzheng County Cultural Relics Chronicles, We will know more clearly that the Peiligang Cultural Site around 8,000 years ago is the remnant of the stage of the Shaodian clan and the Yangshao Cultural Site from 5,000 to 7,000 years ago. Archaeologists Li Youmou and Ma Shizhi both hold the same view. As for when "Youxiong" was called, Sima Qian's "Hanshu·Historical Records·Zhou Benji IV" said: "The Emperor of Zhou was imprisoned in Bali by Xibo. Among the immigrants were beauties from the Xin family, literary horses from Li Rong, and Jiu Xiong. "Historical Records of Zhengyi Biography": "Guo Zhi" says: "There is a Xiong City in Xinzheng County, Zhengzhou." Therefore, at the end of the Shang Dynasty, Xinzheng was also called "Xiong". Mr. Tan Qixiang, a famous contemporary historical geographer, compiled the "Atlas of Chinese Historical Shang Dynasty" in 1982. In the Shang Dynasty, Xinzheng was still called Xiong. Where is Xuanqiu? Since Huangdi was named after living or being born in Xuanyuan Qiu, where is Xuanyuan Qiu? There are three theories in ancient historical documents: 1. Li Daoyuan's "Shuijing Zhuweishui" says: "The Yellow Emperor was born in Tianshui, in Xuanyuan Valley, seventy miles east of Shangyuan City." This is hard to say. Because Huangdi Shaodian's father had Xiong Guojun and Xiong Guojun in Xinzheng, Henan, how could he go to Xuanyuan Valley in Tianshui, Gansu to give birth to Huangdi? Moreover, there is no record of Shaodian's activities in the history books. Second, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas·Three Classics of Western Ci" says that Xuanyuan Qiu is 480 miles west of Yushan where the Queen Mother of the West lives. Where is Yushan? Near Kunlun Mountain, that is, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau with an altitude of 4-5 kilometers. Could there be a tribe as powerful as the Yellow Emperor? Third, Xuanyuan Qiu is in Xinzheng, Henan. Huangfu Mi's "Jin Emperor Century" said: "(Yellow Emperor) has a bear in the country, which lives on the hill of Xuanyuan, so it is known by its name and posthumous title. There is also Jin Xiong in Xinzheng, Henan." Wang Qinruo's "Yuangui Imperial Department, Bookstore" said: "The Yellow Emperor first took over the country and named it after Xiong Xuanyuan Mountain." "Famous Places in the World" said: "There is Xuanyuan Hill in Xinzheng County." "Tongming Zhi" said: "Xuanyuan Mountain is located in Xinzheng County, and there was a powerful country in ancient times. Xuanyuan was named after the Yellow Emperor. "In the 29th year of Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty, the inscription on Xuanyuan's hometown says: "The ancient city of Zhengyi was the old city of Xuanyuan, and there was the ruins of Xuanyuan Qiu in the north, which was the old site." "Mi County Chronicles" in the 22nd year of Jiaqing's reign in the Qing Dynasty and the 19th year of the Republic of China. "Zhongzhou Miscellaneous" is quoted as saying: "There is the 'Qisheng Temple' three miles south of Dahuang Town in Mi County... and more than forty miles away from Xuanyuan Mountain in Xinzheng." In other words, Xuanyuan Hill is located in the central area of ??Xinzheng where Xiongguo is now. Xuanyuan Hometown Temple was built next to Xuanyuan Mountain in the Han Dynasty and still exists today.
