There are also ancestors in life, who are not Huang Yansun.
The "History of Justice" records: "The Yellow Emperor had Xiong Guojun, the second son of the Shaodian Monarch, and his name was Xiong Shi (缃氏), also known as Jinyun (缙云氏). "After the Yellow Emperor unified the world, he took Yun as an official, and Jinyun was a Xia official, in charge of the military. Later generations referred to xia officials, that is, Jinyun clan as the Yellow Emperor.
According to legend, Jinyun is the place where the Yellow Emperor cast the Alchemy dan and the dragon ascended to heaven. The Book of History and Feng Zen records:
The Yellow Emperor mined copper from shoushan mountain and cast it under Jingshan Mountain. Ding is complete, with a dragon hanging down his beard to welcome the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor rode on, and the harem of the group of subjects went up from the upper seventy people, and the dragon went up. Yu Xiaochen was not allowed to go up, but he held the dragon's hair, and the dragon's hair was pulled out, and he fell, and fell into the bow of the Yellow Emperor. The people looked up to the Yellow Emperor and held his bow and beard, so the future generations called him Dinghu, and his bow was called Wu.
According to historical research, the Xiandu Yellow Emperor Festival has a history of more than 1600 years——
During the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, the local people worshipped Dinghu Peak as the ancestor of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan. Dinghu Peak, a lone stone standing, shaped like a spring shoot, piercing the clouds, tall and majestic, shaped like the statue of the Yellow Emperor of Xuanyuan, the Jinyun clan worshipped it as the ancestor of the Yellow Emperor of Xuanyuan.
During the Xianhe period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (326-334 AD), the "Jinyun Hall" was built under jinyun mountain as a place to worship the Yellow Emperor of Xuanyuan. This is the earliest place where the people of the south worship the Yellow Emperor of Xuanyuan since the history records.
In the first year of the Reign of Tang Dynasty (696 AD), Wu Zetian sealed Mount Chansong and established a new county in the location of Jinyun Mountain, with the name of the county named Jinyun by the name of the Yellow Emperor. Jinyun County has since become an administrative division on the map of China, which has been around for more than 1,300 years.
In the seventh year of Tang Tianbao (748 AD), Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, Li Longji, enfeoffed Jinyun Mountain as Xiandu Mountain, and changed the name of "Jinyun Hall" to "Yellow Emperor Ancestral Hall". Since then, local officials have held annual sacrifices to the Yellow Emperor of Xuanyuan, and folk sacrifices have become more prosperous.
In the second year of Tang Qianyuan (759 AD), the famous calligrapher Li Yangbing, who was then the ling of Jinyun County, gave the name of the ancestral hall "Yellow Emperor Ancestral Hall" (stele deposited in Jinyun Museum)
In the fourth year of the Song Tianxi (1020 AD), the Song Zhen Sect sent ministers to Xiandu to worship the Yellow Emperor and threw the "Golden Dragon Jade Jane" that prayed for the prosperity of the country into the Golden Dragon Cave. (This "golden dragon" was unearthed in 1997 and is now in the Jinyun Museum.)
In the second year of Song Baoyuan (1039 AD), the Song Ren Sect sent Ye Qingchen to Jinyun to sacrifice the Yellow Emperor of Xuanyuan.
In the second year of Song Zhiping (1065 AD), Emperor Yingzong of Song issued an edict to further expand the scale of the building with the Xiandu "Yellow Emperor Ancestral Hall" as the core, and gave it the name "Jade Void Palace". At this point, the Yuxu Palace became a common place for worshipping the Yellow Emperor of Xuanyuan and Taoist cultural activities.
In the first year of the Southern Song Dynasty (1260 AD), the prefect of Chuzhou, An Liu, was ordered by the Taoist priest Chen Guanding to change the direction of the palace and rebuild it a few years later.
In the seventh year of Yuan Yanyou (1320 AD), Zhao Siqi was sent by the imperial court to receive the Wupin Seal, and was appointed to the Yuxu Palace of Xiandu Mountain in Zhoulu, and was in charge of the Yuxu Palace, responsible for the annual Yellow Emperor's festival activities.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Yellow Emperor Ancestral Hall was destroyed in the war, but the people worshiped the Yellow Emperor at the old site of the Yellow Emperor Ancestral Hall.
In 1998, Jinyun rebuilt the Yellow Emperor Ancestral Hall in the style of the Tang Dynasty and resumed the ceremony of worshiping the Yellow Emperor of Xuanyuan, reproducing the historical pattern of "North Tomb South Ancestral Hall". Since the resumption of the festival, the people's festival and the public sacrifice of the Yellow Emperor have been held every year in Qingming and Chongyang, respectively, and have not stopped for 23 years.
In 2011, the "Jinyun Xuanyuan Festival" was included in the third batch of national intangible cultural heritage representative projects by the State Council.
In 2014, after deliberation by the National Leading Group for The Work of Cleaning Up and Standardizing the Celebration Seminar Forum Activities, and submitted to the Party Central Committee and the State Council for approval, the Chinese Xiandu Festival Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor Ceremony became one of the 8 festival projects in Zhejiang Province that were approved to be retained, and the organizers were the Lishui Municipal People's Government and the Jinyun County People's Government.
In 2021, with the approval of the National Leading Group for The Work of Cleaning Up and Standardizing the Celebration Seminar Forum, the organizer of the Yellow Emperor Ceremony of the Chinese Xiandu Festival was changed from the Lishui Municipal People's Government and the Jinyun County People's Government to the Zhejiang Provincial People's Government, which is held once a year.
For thousands of years, including Xie Lingyun, Li Bai, Bai Juyi, Xu Xiake and other literati and inkers, they have come to Jinyun to leave immortal poems, and there are 126 Moya stone carvings and inscriptions in Xiandu, which is the largest group of Moya stone carvings in Jiangnan, which also fully proves the far-reaching influence of Jinyun Huangdi culture in the long river of history.
In the process of fighting the flood and creating civilization, the spirit of indomitable innovation, the pioneering spirit of perseverance, the enterprising spirit of self-improvement, and the spirit of dedication to serving the people displayed by the Yellow Emperor of Xuanyuan are the source of the Chinese nation's self-respect, self-reliance, self-confidence, and self-improvement spirit.
Culture is the blood of a country and a nation, and it is the spiritual homeland of the people. The broad and profound Chinese excellent traditional culture is the foundation for us to stand firm in the turmoil of world culture, and it is also the deepest cultural soft power. Holding the Ceremony of the Yellow Emperor of Xuanyuan is precisely to activate the vitality of China's excellent traditional culture with the spirit of the times, and constantly condense the majestic power of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
