黄帝陵

Good morning, Ladies and gentlemen. Today we are going to visit The Yellow Emperor Mausoleum, known as "the first Chinese mausoleum". The tomb places at Qiaoshan, Huang ling, Yan'an, China. The Yellow Emperor Mausoleum area was archaeologically proved to be a primitive clan settlement, for unearthing pottery and stone tools with evident Yangshao Culture Features. It is one of the Key Historical Site under State Protection of China.

In order for everyone to have a profound understanding about the Yellow Emperor Mausoleum, I will introduce Huangdi first. Huangdi is a legendary Chinese sovereign and cultural hero who is considered in Chinese mythology to be the ancestor of all Han Chinese, One of the legendary Five Emperors. According to ancient records, Huangdi was the son of Shao Dian, the grandson of Fu Xi. His name was Gongsun. Because he resided in the Xuanyuan hill, he was referred to as Xuanyuan. For advocating agricultural production, he was also known as "Huangdi". Huangdi has been credited with the invention of the principles of Traditional Chinese medicine, the Huangdi Neijing (Inner Canon of Huangdi).The legend of his victory in the war against Emperor Chi You at the Battle of Zhuolu is seen as the establishment of the Han Chinese nationality.(黄帝）

We are now in the Xuanyuan square. Here is the starting point of worshiping the mausoleum. The Xuanyuan square ground used natural pebbles from qinling range, a total of 5000 pieces which represents 5000 years long history of the Chinese nation. In front of us was Printing pool. Legend has it that the pool was Huangdi’s pen washing place. Printing pool came from river Zu which is regarded as the ancestor of the river. When night comes, there will be a beautiful landscape above the river.（印池）

Now, we are through the bridge XuanYuan. The bridge used granite stones, and it was known as the "the first modern Chinese stone bridge". The path links XuanYuan bridge and temple courtyard has 95 steps, representing Huangdi’s lofty status. Ascend the stairs, we can see a broad square. In recent years, rituals mostly are held here. Now please look back at the xuanyuan square again, I believe you can feel the grand、solemn and primitive ambience. （轩辕桥）
