I. Central County, Shaanxi Province;

The Yellow Emperor, surnamed Gongsun and named Xuanyuan, was the humanistic founder of the Chinese nation. Legend has it that more than 5,000 years ago, he united Yan Di, defeated Chi You, unified the Central Plains tribes, integration of the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River up to the Yangtze River basin of the many tribes, the establishment of the Chinese nation's predecessor, the Huaxia tribe. The Yellow Emperor led the first people began to make clothes and crowns, make boats and cars, sericulture, create text, build medicine, fixed arithmetic, the invention of the guide car ......, thus ending the barbaric turbidity, the creation of the Chinese nation five thousand years of civilization.

The Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum is located in Huangling County, south of Yan'an, Shaanxi Province, is the location of the mausoleum of Xuan Yuan Huangdi, the founder of the Chinese nation. With its beautiful mountains and pleasant scenery, it is a famous sightseeing spot.

Legend has it that Huangdi was born in Shouqiu, Shandong Province, died in Jingshan, Henan Province, and was buried in Qiaoshan, Shaanxi Province. Qiaoshan is located 1 kilometer north of Huangling County. Mausoleum mound in the top of Qiaoshan Qiaoshan has frustrated water around the mountains, surrounded by cypresses, there is a large road to the top of the mountain until the mausoleum. The top of the mountain stood a stone monument, called dismounted stone, on the "civil and military officials to this dismounted" characters. Ancient where the mausoleum, are required to dismount here, walk to the mausoleum in front of the mausoleum, the mausoleum in front of a sacrificial pavilion, the pavilion in a tall monument, on the inscription of Guo Moruo, "the Yellow Emperor Mausoleum" in the three big words. Behind the pavilion there is a stone tablet, the book "bridge mountain dragon double" four words.

Huangdi mausoleum mound at the top of the platform in the center, the mausoleum mound height of 3.6 meters, a circumference of 48 meters, there are brick flower guards around. Surrounded by cypress forests, quiet and deep. Successive governments have attached great importance to the protection of Huangling cypress, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties have protected the Huangling instructions or orders. According to Huangling County Records, Qiaoshan Berlin about 4 square kilometers, **** 63,000 plants.

Western Han Dynasty there is a precedent for worship of the Yellow Emperor's mausoleum, but the location of the sacrifice has not been unified, Ming Taizu Hongwu four years (1371), about the Yellow Emperor's mausoleum of the ancestor of the epochal shift, this before the location of the Yellow Emperor's mausoleum of the saying is not the same, and the sacrifice is not exclusively in one place, such as is located in the city of Lingbao, 20 kilometers west of the town of Yangping, the Jing Mountain Yellow Emperor mausoleum is very well known to this day, the four years of Hongwu (1371) Hongwu four years (1371), sent in the province of pipe hook sacrifice, at this time basically determine the emperor's mausoleum in the central county Qiaoshan. In 29 years, the king of Qin sent a special official to pay tribute. Thereafter, Yongle, Xuande, Jingtai, Tianshun, Zhengde, Jiajing, Longqing, Wanli, Tianqi years, the Ming dynasty were sent to pay homage to the sacrifice of 14 times, Shaanxi Huangling County, Qiaoshan Huangdi Mausoleum has been recognized by history.

The mausoleum sealed soil height of 3,6 meters, 48 meters in circumference, surrounded by the mound to brick wall, in front of the mausoleum there is a Ming Jiajing fifteen years of inscriptions "Qiaoshan Dragon," meaning the Yellow Emperor, "harnessing the dragon to the sky," the place. In front of a sacrificial pavilion, hermetic roof, flying eaves, imposing.

Inside the pavilion there is Guo Moruo handwritten "Yellow Emperor Mausoleum" monument. Mausoleum area set around the red wall enclosure, the southeast side of the latticework door, on both sides of the imitation of the Han Dynasty stone que. The ground in the mausoleum area is paved with bricks. It looks simple and elegant. The front area of the Yellow Emperor Temple is magnificent, with an area of about 10,000 square meters of the floor of the entrance square. Selected 5,000 large river pebbles paved, symbolizing the 5,000 years of civilization of the Chinese nation

Historical evidence. The State Language of Jin ("国语? Jin language" contains: "the former ShaoDian married in the Jiao clan, born yellow emperor, YanDi. The Yellow Emperor became with Ji water, and the Yan Emperor became with Jiang water. In the past, Shaodian married the Jiao Clan and gave birth to the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor. The two emperors use the division to help each other also, the reason for the different virtues." This is the earliest record we can see of the birthplace of Emperor Yan Di and Emperor Huang Di historical materials. Bamboo Book Chronicles: "Yandi was born in the ginger water, so he took ginger as his family name." The Emperor's Century: "Yan Di Shennong, ginger surname. Mother said Ren Si, Jiao's daughter, the name of women, for the lesser Deng is consort. Swimming in the sun of Mount Hua, there is Shennong first sense of the female in Changyang, born Yan Di, human body bull head, long in the ginger water, because of the clan". "Huashan of the sun" of the "Huashan", in this case refers to the Qinling Mountains, "Yang" refers to the south of the Qinling Mountains. The Historical Records of China (史记)? Supplement to the Three Emperor's Chronicles" also contains: "grew up in Jiangshui, so I took the surname". Where is Jiangshui? Northern Wei Dynasty Li Daoyuan in the "Water Scripture? Weishui Note" said: "Qishui and east run Jiang's city south, for Jiang water." Li's clearly pointed out that Jiangshui for today's Baoji WeiShui basin of a tributary. Ming and Qing dynasties "Ming Yitongzhi", "Fengxiang Province", "Baoji County" and other records are recorded "Jiangshui" refers to today's Baoji City Weihe south of the "Qing Jiang River", "Jiang's City "refers to today's" Jiang Castle ". Mr. Xu Xusheng, a famous archaeologist, believes that: "There is good pottery art near Jiang Castle, and there were human beings living in the dawn period of China's history. There is no doubt that the ginger castle and the name of the Qing Jiang River, as well as a very special Shennong Temple ...... full like the origins of the origin, is not a later fabrication of the ...... ginger surname lived in the old place, the possibility is also large." Famous archaeologist Mr. Zou Heng said more clearly. He said: "the so-called 'Yandi to ginger water into', we can understand for the Yandi tribe's earliest activities in the ginger water. The ancient Jiangshui, according to the "Water Scripture? Weishui Note" is contained in the south of Jiang City, that is, the area of Zhouyuan in present-day Qishan County, but we do not know the definite location. However, according to the "Daming Yitong Zhi": Fengxiang Province, Baoji County, seven miles south of Jiang's City, the city also has Jiang water, this Jiang's City, now known as the Jiang Castle, to the south that is, the Yimen Fort, Fort West, there is a water name is still the name of the Qing Jiang River.

"Ji water" and "ginger water" in the end where? Academics are still in the test. Most likely in Shaanxi.

II. Henan Lingbao Jing Mountain

Huangdi Mausoleum is located in Henan Lingbao city 20 kilometers west of the town of Yangping Jing Mountain, is the first ancestor of the Chinese nation Xuanyuan Huangdi tribal this generation of the history of the prosperity of the evidence.

According to the "Historical Records. Fengxiangshu" records, here in ancient times Jingshan area serious disaster, Xuanyuan Huangdi came to Jingshan view. For the people to cure, the Yellow Emperor picked the first hole in the mountain, draw water from the lake, cast tripod in the mountain. Descendants come here to worship their ancestors, an endless stream. Three large bronze tripods symbolizing the gods of heaven, earth and ancestors have been restored. "The Yellow Emperor took copper from Shushan Mountain and cast the tripod at the bottom of Jing Mountain. When the tripod was completed, there was a dragon with a beard. The Emperor was greeted by a dragon with a beard and a beard. The Yellow Emperor on the ride, the group of ministers from the harem on more than seventy people, the dragon is up. The rest of the junior ministers are not allowed to go up, they are all holding the dragon's beard, the dragon's beard pulling down, falling into the yellow emperor's bow. The people look up to the Yellow Emperor both up in the sky, is to hold its bow and beard number, so after the name of the place called Dinghu 'its bow is said to be wu number' ." People buried the boots of the Yellow Emperor in the casting plateau, forming the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor. Later, people will establish the Yellow Emperor's clothes and crown mound in this place, and build temples for worship.

The west end of the mausoleum has a mound 6 meters high and 42.5 mains in circumference, which is said to be the Huangdi Tomb Mound. Southwest of the mausoleum there is a dragon beard ditch, legend has it that the dragon's beard fell place, this place grows a kind of dragon beard grass, said to be the dragon's beard changed, there are no around.

Huangdi Mausoleum building, history, many times destroyed by fire, but repeatedly destroyed repeatedly built. Now has been restored the main remains of the dedication of the Hall, the Hall of the First Ancestor, the promenade, the burial mound, the mountain gate, the sacrifice of the pillar of the work, the Que Lou, drive the Dragon Pavilion and other attractions, and casting a symbol of the God of Heaven, God of the Earth, ancestor of the Heaven, the Earth, the people of the large bottles of large uranium tripod.

In Henan Lingbao casting Dingyuan, there are a series of place names related to the Yellow Emperor: casting Dingyuan, Dinghu, Jingshan, Chi Mountain, Quafu Mountain, Mulberry Garden ...... "Not only the old people will point to these locations, the story of the life of the Yellow Emperor passed down from generation to generation, there are many records in ancient literature, such as the" Water Scripture Wei Land Records" said: Hongnong Lake County, there is Xuanyuan Huangdi Dengxian place. Huangdi pick the copper of the first mountain, cast tripod in the Jing Mountain below, there are dragons hanging Hu in the tripod. Yellow Emperor climbed the dragon, seventy people from the boarding, then ascended in the sky, so the name of the place for Dinghu. Jing Mountain in Fengxiang, the first mountain in Pu Ban, and Lake County connected. Jinshu Di Dao Ji", "Taikang Ji" and said Hu County also. Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty changed the name to lake. Popular cloud: the yellow emperor from here to take the dragon to heaven also. Geography," said: Jingzhao Lake County, there are Zhou Tianzi shrine two, so it is called Hu. Does not say that the Yellow Emperor ascending dragon also." XiongHuiZhen case: "now this water (PanJian water) said PanDouHe, out of wenxiang county southwest of qinshan, that is, kuafu mountain also", YangShouJing according to: "li's because of the" wei land record "yellow emperor ascended to the immortal said, detailing the yellow emperor thing. Jing Mountain, the first mountain near Lake County, and the Yellow Emperor by the dragon for the common saying, and evidence to the "Han Zhi" does not say the ascending dragon, cover the hidden said Dinghu in this "," examining the "Xijing Fu" Xue, "Note" has been cloud Dinghu in the east of Huayin, east of Huayin that is the Lake County, the Lake County, Dinghu said ancient".

Many places in China have the legend of the Yellow Emperor and related names, ancient names are often brought to the four corners of the world along with the migration of people, condensed the ancestral performance of the names of the mountains and waters into the new place of residence, into a monument to eternal immortality. However, in the Lingbao not only Dinghu said the source is very early, the underground is also buried in the same historical period of rich cultural heritage, on the ground and underground echo each other, is rare.

The Historical Records of the Yellow Emperor and the story of the tripod there are two ways to say, one for the Yellow Emperor "won the tripod, welcome the day to push pods," see "Five Emperors," and the second for the Secretary said: "I heard that the emperor of the past, the rise of God tripod one, one of a unity of heaven and earth and all things in the system of the end also. The Yellow Emperor made three tripods, like heaven and earth and man. Yu received the gold of the Nine Shepherds, cast nine tripods, all cooking in the gods and ghosts. The Saints were raised and moved to the summer and the Shang Dynasty. When Zhou's virtue declined and Song's society died, the tripods fell into oblivion and disappeared." Also contained in the Qi Gongsun Qing said: "The Yellow Emperor took the first mountain copper casting tripod under the Jing Mountain, tripod is completed, there are dragons hanging beard down to meet the Yellow Emperor", in "Xiaowu Benji", "book of Zen.

Ancient writers and writers have come to visit, Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi, Liu Yuxi and other famous poets have visited this place, writing poems and making assignments, issued a "Fan Luo to the top of the world, to see the intention of how to win" lament! Every year around the ninth day of the second month of the lunar calendar, people go to worship in an endless stream.

Famous poet He Jingzhi in the casting of the original impromptu recitation: "China five thousand years, the history of Lingbao see. Jingshan Mountain, the ancient and modern two marveled.

Three. Hebei Zhuo deer

1. Huangdi Temple site.

Huangdi Temple site, in the main peak of Qiaoshan directly south, small alum mountain village northeast of about 3 miles of loess slope, an area of about 100 acres. The base site of Huangdi Temple is nearly square, 17 meters long from east to west, 14.5 meters wide from north to south, and 8 meters high. Temple foundation surface has a large number of brick and tile accumulation, accumulation layer in the Western Han Dynasty rope pattern brick and plate tile, barrel tile, Northern Wei Dynasty brick and tile, Liao, gold brick and tile, a variety of decorative tiles, dragon-shaped brick carvings. From the temple base of the exposed section of the south: the temple base of the top plane 0.5 meters below, for the Liao, gold brick layer, 30 centimeters thick, Liao Jin brick layer for the 75-centimeter-thick layer of rammed earth, rammed earth layer under the Han, Wei brick layer, Han Wei brick layer under the layer of rammed earth layer, and then down more than 6 meters due to the accumulation of soil cover, there are a few layers is not known. Thus, it can be proved that this temple has had a number of repair. 1998 spring plowing season, small alum mountain villagers Wei Xingjiang in 12 meters from the temple base of the west unearthed a fine black stone axe, unearthed, stone axe placed in the middle of the four pieces of slate, above the cover with a stone plate. If this is the northwest corner of the Yellow Emperor Temple of the foundation stone, the temple site east-west width of more than 40 meters, the age of its inception when the Longshan culture period before. ①, ② "Ming Shi? Rites. ③ "Ming History? ①, ② "Ming History" Rites. ④ Central County Records.

Not far south of the base site of the main hall, there is a high platform building site, the base site of the east and west of about 50 meters are distributed in two large symmetrical pieces of cultural relics scattered on the ground, the ground is seen on the surface of the polished, tire wall of 3 millimeters or so of the dark black ceramic pieces, gray pottery pieces, red ceramic is rarely seen, and its ceramic pieces are wheeled, the tire wall is very thin, the firing temperature is higher. The recognizable artifacts have tripod feet, li feet, bean feet, and their decorative patterns include string patterns, rope patterns, and additional pile patterns. Mr. Zheng Guang two field observation, that its gray pottery age early for the Western Zhou Dynasty, as for the black dark pottery, because he has less contact with the northern cultural relics, in the absence of cultural relics to compare, dare not do the era to determine.

In the temple site in the north of the square stone chiseled half a stone mortar, this half of the stone mortar is very large, three people can move; in the southeast of the temple site of the Yellow Emperor ditch wall, collapsed to reveal an ancient well, the well barrel of 1 meter square, inlaid with cypress boards, the well depth of about 40 meters or so.

2, unidentified building rock site.

In the main peak of Qiaoshan Mountain to the south extends to about 100 meters, there is an unknown building rock base site: length, width of 1.5 meters square, 1.5 meters high rock base, the Department of the mountain rock chiseled, the lower part of the rock with the beams of the mountain as a single entity, I do not know if this is the "Sea of Mountains? The great wilderness west scripture" recorded "Xuanyuan platform"? Because in the distance look up at this, looks like a stone table placed on the top of the mountain, so the local people called "stone table", said for the yellow emperor and the immortal game place. Tang Li Bai "North Wind" poem: "Yanshan snowflakes as big as a mat, pieces of blowing down the Xuan Yuan platform", Yuan Xian Yu Shu "bridge mountain" poem "immortal game is not yet the end of the human world for" sentence, are all referring to this.

3, arched stone bridge and stone room.

The bridge on the south side of the mountain peak, and the main peak of the unidentified building site on the right, for the naturally occurring arched stone bridge, standing under the mountain look up, through the stone bridge holes, can see the blue sky, white clouds, fresh in the pivot of the "Bridge" poem in the beginning of the sentence "next to the sun and the moon on the stars," that is, to depict this scene. Stone bridge on the northeast side of the cliff has a man-made chamber, people can climb the rock and into it. Stone room sitting can accommodate more than ten people, sleeping can accommodate three, five people, the hole is very small, with a bundle of firewood can be blocked.

4, "tomb mound" like mountain.

In the east and west valleys south of the main peak of Qiaoshan Mountain, there are naturally occurring "burial mound"-like independent hills surrounded by peaks. East of the valley in a, in the deep valley in the towering, rocky wall, on the mountain flowers, trees, green grass, very magnificent. Peak slightly concave shape, in its depression on the ground, the mountain issued a dull "empty" sound, the lower part of the rock in the north of the mountain, the rock breaks off a doorway shape, covered with soil and rocks, faggots grow thick; due to the valley of the hill in the north, there is a beam from the east of the peak extends down the east side of the main peak cross to the south of the valley in the flow of the mountain water is led to the west, and then the west flow, and then the south flow of the mountain water is led to the west flow, and then the west flow, and then the west flow, and then the south flow, and then the south flow of the mountain water in the valley is first Was guided to the west, and then turned back to the mountain behind the close seems to be artificially cut and covered with soil under the flow, so the back of the mountain was artificially cut off, there is a clear change of water exclusion. Exit was "▽" shape, on the width of about ten meters, about ten meters deep.

Ancient emperors often chiseled the mountain for the case of the tomb, we suspect that this mound like a variety of signs embodied in the mountain, or that is the long sleep of the Yellow Emperor.

5, chiseled on the top of the mountain stone mortar.

Qiaoshan main peak of the northeast summit, found in the summit rock cut on the stone mortar a, this and the whole mountain as one stone mortar of course, no one can move it. This proves that the ancient people who chiseled the stone mortar had the idea of living on this mountain forever.

6, Jishi Mound Group.

The northern slope of the mountaintop with the stone mortar. There are a group of Jaishi mounds that cover the mountainside, totaling about thirty, about 1.5 meters in diameter and about 0.5 meters in height. At the bottom of the mountain to the north of the cluster of stone mounds are the hot springs under Qiaoshan and the Hanyu Hall on the hot springs described in the "Records of the Land of Wei," as well as the "Wei Book" and the "Emperor's Records. The Emperor's Chronicle" in the "hot springs Palace" where the site is located.

7, the remains of the ancient road at the northern foot of the bridge mountain.

Qiaoshan northern foothills now only a small alum mountain to the village of hot springs Tun intestinal tract, no one knows that in the mountain faggots among the grass hidden in the remains of an official road, which was found in a survey of the author fifteen years ago. This road intermittent preservation of the integrity of the place, are 1.5 meters wide, over the hillside leveling and stone paved road surface, the slope is relatively gentle; encounter cliffs are chiseled stone access, the road is relatively better preserved. In an uninhabited, no arable land in the barren mountains, ancient had such a wide road construction is rare. It is suspected that this is the road from the ancient "Hot Spring Palace" to Qiaoshan.

9. Emperor Temple

In accordance with the Zhuo Lu Qiaoshan Huangdi Temple site to stone axe foundation, Han Wei, Liao Jin many times repair and Longshan, Western Zhou, the Warring States cultural relics of the discovery, as well as with reference to the "hot spring palace" site found cultural relics, Zhuo Lu Qiaoshan Huangdi Temple of the construction, when the end of the Yangshao culture, the Longshan culture between the early, the Shang, Zhou, Han, Northern Wei, and the ancient "Hot Springs Palace" road on the bridge. Shang, Zhou, Han, Northern Wei, Liao, Jin many times repair, which with today's see ancient books place name records, sacrificial records, are consistent, it than the central county "bridge mountain yellow emperor mausoleum" to nearly four thousand years of history.

Lingbao, Henan Province

To be proved

Zhengning, Gansu Province, "Qiaoshan":

No site, no cultural relics can be examined.

Central Shaanxi "Bridge Mountain":

In the central county 1 miles north of the city, under the mountain for the Xuan Yuan Huangdi Temple, for the Ming Dynasty building; "Xuan Yuan Huangdi hand-planted cypress", "Han Wu Di hang armor cypress "; temple in the pavilion in the Ming and Qing dynasties sacrificed to the Yellow Emperor more than seventy tablets; mountain, there is Xuanyuan Huangdi "tomb mound", 3?6 meters high, 16 meters in diameter. "Tomb mound" in front of a pavilion, pavilion in the stone inscription for the "bridge mausoleum dragon harness" four words; and then to the front, there is the forty-first year of the Qing dynasty qianlong (1776) shaanxi governor Biyuan set up "ancient xuan yuan yuanti bridge mausoleum "a stone tablet; the south side of the mausoleum there is a stone tablet, engraved with the words "Han Wu Xiantai", rumored to be the Han Wu Emperor praying for immortality.

In addition, no monuments and cultural relics before the Ming Dynasty. This mountain was called "Qiao Shi Mountain" before the Ming Dynasty.

Firstly, Zhuo Lu Qiaoshan in Hebei Province is a site closely associated with a large number of ancient sites and relics, such as the Hot Spring Palace, Xuan Yuan's Hill, Chi You City, Hanshan Spring, Alexandria Yao, Shun's Temple, Shun's Capital Pan City, and so on, and it is by no means an isolated historical site and historical record that is not associated with the history of the Yellow Emperor. Huang Di lived a long life, and his later years were already a peaceful and prosperous time, without war and unexpected political changes, and he did not die from natural disasters such as Shun's and Yu's tours to other places, but from the Zhuo Lu earthquake. The Yellow Emperor's southern tour, his positive consort Rayon Zu died in Hengshan, the Yellow Emperor still ordered ugly women to guard the road, transported back to the capital city to be buried, after the Yellow Emperor died, but also at the time of the earthquake catastrophe after the urgent need for relief and peace of mind, what is the reason not to be buried in the northwest of the capital city of the ancient state of the dome of the bear mountain mausoleums, and to be laboriously transported to the thousands of miles away from the north of the Shaanxi Province or Gansu Province to be buried it?

The second, Chinese history in the Warring States period before the construction of bridges, so, in the history of the Warring States period before the word "bridge". Therefore, before the Han Dynasty, at least before the Warring States period, there is no "bridge mountain" such an actual historical place name, the Yellow Emperor's burial place is "穹山", "Mountains and Seas Classic" recorded as "poor mountains The "Classic of Mountains and Seas" recorded it as "Poor Mountain", and the Duke of Tai Shi "passed Zhuo Lu in the north", according to the actual natural hole of the bridge-like peak of Poor Mountain, recorded it as "Qiaoshan" according to the sound of "Poor Mountain", and the word "Qiao", which existed at that time, according to the reality of what he had seen. The word "Qiao" was recorded as "Qiaoshan". This has been recorded from the engraved words of the Huangdi Temple of the Shang Dynasty, the geographic location of the Huangdi's burial place in the Poor Mountain as recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the history of Zhuo Lu County's "Qiaoshan" and "Qiaoshan" through the ages, as well as the records of the Northern Wei emperors and kings, which are clear and precise. "There is no record of the history of the sacrifice; and Qiaoshan, central Shaanxi County, from the fourth year of the Ming Hongwu to the present, the age of the sacrifice is only six hundred and thirty years of history. Which is true and which is false, is it not clear?

Fourth, Hebei Zholu Qiaoshan Huangdi Temple's ancient building site still exists, and stone tools such as stone axes and pottery fragments from the Longshan period have been found. According to its cultural relics, the age of the temple when the end of Yangshao culture, the early Longshan culture, and then Shang, Zhou, the Warring States, Han, Northern Wei, Liao, Yuan have carried out repairs, and see in the text of the sacrificial record, so, in the Chinese land of different geographic location of the Yellow Emperor's mausoleum, which is true and which is false, has been clear.

Four. Gansu Zhengning

Chinese one of the ancestors of the Chinese nation - Xuanyuan Huangdi, died in the end buried where? Is the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor in Huangling County, Shaanxi? The Yellow Emperor Mausoleum in Shaanxi makes many Chinese children at home and abroad long for it, and they have gone to pay homage to it and search for their ancestors. This seems to prove that the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor should be in Huangling, Shaanxi.

However, Longdong College, Mr. Zhang Yaomin after 15 years of dedicated research, the evidence is conclusive, not only the "Records of the Grand Historian" of the Yellow Emperor's mausoleum is located in where there is a clear record, and Zhengning County, five hectares of loess township of the "Yellow Emperor Mound" is still in existence today. So, he wrote a book to prove: the real Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor is not in Huangling County, Shaanxi Province, but in Zhengning County, Gansu Province, Wuha Plateau Township.

What is Regulus? Mr. Guo Moruo in the study of the "dedicated Hou Ding" and other inscriptions, said: "the sky soft-shelled turtle two words, inscriptions, the old translation for the children and grandchildren, Yu said when the sky soft-shelled turtle, that is, Xuanyuan also." Therefore, he believes that "the sky soft-shelled turtle is Xuanyuan." The heavenly soft-shelled turtle is the clan name of Xuanyuan, the emblem of the clan, the totem of the clan. The soft-shelled turtle is an aquatic animal, and the fact that the Yellow Emperor used the sky soft-shelled turtle as his totem indicates that his totem was an aquatic animal.

Mr. Zhang Yaomin believes that the discovery of the "Huanjiang Pterodactyl" provides strong evidence for the soft-shelled turtle totem.

In the first half of May 1978, in the present-day Gansu province, Qingyang County, Qingyang County, thirty miles of the store, the masses in quarrying, the fossils of the pterodactyl were found in the blasted slate layer. This pterosaur is an aquatic animal with a long neck, short tail, no dorsal vertebrae, low and long skull, many teeth and more slender. Body without feathers, decent and smooth, but there are two big "wings", two wings spread up to two meters long, but can not make long-distance flight, only in the water's edge, sparse forests, gliding, to peck fishing for small fish for a living.

Zhang Yaomin will "Huanjiang pterodactyl" fossil and the "Huanhou tripod" and other sky soft-shelled turtle inscription against each other, and found that the two are not only similar in shape, and corroboration reveals the only Xuanyuan Huangdi died after the dragon ascension to heaven of the mystery of the sky soft-shelled turtle is not only a dragon, but also able to fly. The sky soft-shelled turtle is the pterodactyl, also known as Xuanyuan. Pterodactyl fossil discovery, for the existence of Xuanyuan clan tribe, provides evidence of physical totem

Historical Records of the Yellow Emperor's burial place

"Historical Records" cloud: "Yellow Emperor collapse, buried in Qiaoshan". The Historical Records of the Grand Historian (史记集解), citing Huang Lan, said, "The Yellow Emperor's grave is at Qiaoshan in Shangxian County." The shiji suo yin" cited "hanshu. Geography Zhi" cloud: "bridge mountain in Shangxian Yang Zhou County, the mountain has yellow emperor mound also". The Justice of the Historical Records" cites the "Geography" as follows: "The Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor is in Ziwu Mountain, 80 miles east of Luochuan County, Ningzhou.

Zhang Yaomin in the review of historical data found that these records are referred to a place, that is, the later so-called Ningzhou Bridge Mountain, that is, today's Qingyang District, Zhengning County, five hectares of loess township.

So, why the location of the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor appeared all kinds of claims? And why was it moved to Huangling County, Shaanxi? Zhang Yaomin believes that one of the reasons is that some historians are not clear about the geographical changes. Check the "25 History", before the Song Dynasty, the location of the Yellow Emperor's mound records, are "Ning State Luo Chuan County, eighty miles east of Ziwu Mountain", from the "Jin Shi" began to bridge the mountain from the original Yang Zhou County (i.e., today's Qingyang District, Zhengning County) moved into the central county (now Huangling County, Shaanxi). Ming Hongwu three years, Ming Taizu will be the central county of the "bridge mausoleum" a place, mistaken for Xuanyuan Huangdi "bridge mausoleum" after the "Ming Shi" will be the bridge mountain, Huangdi Mound and recorded in the north of the central county.

So it seems, before the Song Dynasty, said the Yellow Emperor's mound in Ningzhou Bridge Hill, are no objection. Just in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, especially the Ming Dynasty, the bridge mountain, Yang Zhou County, Huangdi Mound "move to move", making it difficult to distinguish between true and false, right and wrong difficult to argue, can not be said to be a historical farce. Longdong College, Department of Political Science and Law lecturer Chen Yafeng grew up in five hectares of plateau, for the Yellow Emperor Mound is very familiar with. He told reporters, the yellow emperor mound soil layer is not natural soil layer, the soil layer is rammed and become, and the number of layers clear. He also said that this ride on the name of many places have "dragon head eye", "dragon mouth" called, their names are related to Xuanyuan Huangdi, the local people called the Yellow Emperor Mound "pimple grave", The local people call the Huangdi mound "pimple grave", "immortal grave" and so on. Existing in the cultural palace of zhengning county, "ningzhou chengtian indecent monument of the song dynasty" in the inscription also mentioned "xuanqiu", that is, the yellow emperor mound. In a word, "the mausoleum of the yellow emperor in ningzhou luochuan county eighty miles east of ziwu mountain" records, finally by the original mound site to give us an unbeatable assertion.

The Twenty-Four Histories recorded the burial place of the Yellow Emperor

The Twenty-Four Histories said, "The Yellow Emperor died and was buried at Qiaoshan Mountain". The Twenty-four Histories of the Twenty-fourth Century, citing Huang Lan, said: "The Yellow Emperor's grave is at Qiaoshan in Shangxian County." Twenty-four history Suoyin" cited "Han Shu. Earth Zhi" cloud: "bridge mountain in Shangxian Yang Zhou County, the mountain has yellow emperor mound also". Twenty-four Histories of Justice" cited "Bracket Earth Zhi" cloud: "Huangdi Mausoleum in Ningzhou Luo Chuan County, eighty miles east of Ziwu Mountain". ZhangYaoPingYiJin in checking the history of history guess invented, these records are referred to as a place, that is, later said the NingZhou bridge mountain, that is, today's QingYang region zhengning county five ha loess township. Why say Xuanyuan Huangdi mound in today's Qingyang region Zhengning County five hectares of plateau? From the geographic reality, Sui Luochuan County (now Zhengning County Luochuan Town) in the bridge on the west side of the Qin Straight Road, and the bridge on the mountain (i.e., Xuanqiu) on the Qin Straight Road in Luochuan County, ninety miles east, according to the "Brackets of the land" cloud: "yellow emperor mausoleum in Ningzhou Luochuan County, eighty miles east of the Meridian Hill," to see the Luochuan County in the Qin Straight Road of the bridge on the west of the ninety miles, and the yellow emperor's mound in the Ten miles west of Qin Zhidao. This western ten miles, is now Zhengning County five hectares of loess.

Then, the location of the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor for what will present all kinds of talk? And why move to Shaanxi Huangling County? Zhang Yaoping thought, one of the reasons is that some historians for the change of public opinion is not clear. Check "25 history", before the Song Dynasty, for the Yellow Emperor mound location records, are "Ning State Luo Chuan County, eighty miles east of Ziwu Mountain", from the "Jin Shi" from the beginning of the bridge mountain from the original Yangzhou County (i.e., today's Qingyang region of Zhengning County) moved into the central county (today's Huangling County, Shaanxi). Ming Hongwu three years, Ming Taizu will be in the central county of the "bridge mausoleum" a place, mistakenly thought to be Xuanyuan Huangdi "bridge mausoleum" and then, "Ming Shi" will be the bridge mountain, Huangdi Mound, a general account of the north of the central county.

The cloud seems to be, before the Song Dynasty records say that the Yellow Emperor mound in Ningzhou bridge mountain, are not two words. Just in the Ming and Qing dynasties, especially the Ming Dynasty, will be the bridge mountain, Yang Zhou County, Huangdi mound "move to move", make it difficult to distinguish between true and false, is to refute the debate, not less than not to say that it is a historical farce.

"Huangdi Mound" remains in Zhengning County

The original "Zhengning County" cloud: Huangdi Mausoleum in the southeast of the county, Chu head of the town of northeast of the village of Qiaotou Bridge Hill, when the valley of a peak rises, the grasses and trees, on the barren mound, next to set up a monument, engraved with the words, said: "Huangdi buried at the Crown! ". This Huangdi Mound, precisely the Huangdi Mound, which was sacrificed by Emperor Wu of Han.

Huangdi mound today proudly towering high in Zhengning County five hectares of loess plateau on the loess plateau, although after thousands of years of water and soil runoff, but still very magnificent. In addition to the east side of the mound collapsed into the valley, the original mound is basically well-preserved. Mound height of 10-60 meters, the western half of the current repair level terraces 18 steps, each step 1-3 meters high, step width of 1-2 meters is not equal to the upper side of the planting can be fruit of walnut trees nearly a thousand. The top of the mound was originally rectangular "bucket" shape, at the moment for the ovoid, north-south length of about 70 meters, tool width of about 30 meters, the plane or surface of the large 1500-1800 square meters.

Huangdi shrine, temple in Hebei, Henan, Shanxi and other places have had, and some still exist, are based on the "Huangdi collapse, buried in Qiaoshan, but have not seen strong evidence, but the Huangdi Mound "in the Ningzhou Luo Chuan County, eighty miles east of the Meridian Hill", there is a root and branch.

In the spirit of great reverence for the Central Plains of all ethnic groups *** with the ancestor Xuanyuan Huangdi, and the Chinese nation to honor the feelings of the ancestors, Zhang Yaomin believes that, no matter when and where to build the worship of Xuanyuan Huangdi ancestral temple, temple are noble, indisputable, "sacrifices such as in the" well! But where exactly is the Xuan Yuan Huangdi mound? Figure out, but also the original face of history, is not unnecessary.

November 1993, Mr. Zhang Yaomin went to Huangling County, Shaanxi, paid a visit to the "Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor" and "Xuan Yuan Temple", examined many of its publicity materials and existing cultural relics, and the people concerned with the consultation, and put forward a lot of questions. The "Tomb of the Yellow Emperor" and "Xuan Yuan Temple". Such as the proposed "Yellow Emperor hand-planted cypress" with or without evidence? The other party replied: "You see, such a big cypress tree, five thousand years, not the Yellow Emperor hand-planted and then who is to?" Such jokes are clearly revealed. "Shaanxi's Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor does not have any historical evidence, only by a local Xuan Yuan Temple." Zhang Yaomin said this in a press interview. How do we treat the mausoleum site of the Yellow Emperor? Zhang Yaomin believes that we should respect history, not to joke with the history of the Chinese nation, not to forget their ancestors, to arbitrarily tamper with historical facts; the historical record, to unambiguously recognize that there can not be half a word of falsehood. The location of the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor, in addition to the "Ning State Luo Chuan County, eighty miles east of Mount Ziwu" record, the "Records of the Historical Records", and then there is no place with the actual burial site records, we only honestly admit that it may be possible to truly avoid the suspicion of Chinese and foreigners on the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor to the original face of the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor.
