These six places have all built a large number of civil engineering projects to varying degrees and developed related scenic spots. But in the end, which place is the real YanDi's hometown and Yandi's mausoleum, which is still unknown.
From the period of yandi's activities recorded in historical records to the Shang dynasty in which the text appeared, there were thousands of years in between. Many of the historical materials we see now are speculations and legends of later generations, so there are many versions.
According to existing historical records, first of all, the scope of activities of Emperor Yan is relatively large; secondly, emperor Yan has nine or more generations. So now so many Yandi tombs and Yandi hometowns in the country make sense, because they may not be alone. Therefore, in the absence of basic factual basis, we cannot easily deny a place, nor can we affirm a place.
