His surname is Gongsun and his first name is Xuanyuan. Five thousand years ago, he was born in Longjiang Gorge, Juyuanguan, on the Qushui River in the northwest loess plateau of China. According to Sima Qian's historical records, "born as a god, weak and eloquent, young and loyal, long and sensitive, and wise." At the age of fifteen, he was hailed as a "tribal leader" by everyone, and at the age of thirty-seven, he ascended the throne of heaven. Xuanyuan Huangdi, after 52 wars in his life, conquered Yan Di, killed Chiyou, ended the ancient war, bid farewell to the barbaric era, established the first country with a * * * Lord in China, and was elected as the first emperor of the Chinese nation. The era of Chinese civilization began. Because Huangdi Xuanyuan Huangdi has created a rich and splendid culture for the Chinese nation, later generations all respect him as "the ancestor of civilization" and "the ancestor of mankind". After the death of the Yellow Emperor, the people chose "the top of the bridge mountain" and buried him deeply in the loess, hoping that "the soul of the Yellow Emperor will ascend to heaven and its spirit will last forever". Emperors, generals and even ordinary people have come here to pay their respects. This is the Huangdi Mausoleum, the first mausoleum in China that Chinese people at home and abroad pay tribute to today.

1 Life of the Yellow Emperor

Records of the Five Emperors in Historical Records records: "The Yellow Emperor is the son of Shaodian, surnamed Gongsun and named Xuanyuan". Five thousand years ago, on the second day of the second lunar month, he was born in the Longjiang Gorge of Juyuan Pass on the Qushui River in the Loess Plateau in northwest China. Since then, there has been an auspicious saying that the dragon looked up on February 2. The loess plateau is broad, broad and thick, with rich mountains and thick soil, and the soil color is yellow. The positive color in Huang Nai symbolizes auspiciousness and happiness, which was advocated by the ancients. Earth is the respect of the five elements and the foundation of all things, and Xuanyuan takes earth virtue as the king. So Xuanyuan is called the Yellow Emperor. Ancient documents recorded three emperors and five emperors. The Yellow Emperor is one of Huang San and the first of the five emperors. In the later period of Emperor Yan, the Yellow Emperor rose up in troubled times, called on the world with virtue, defeated Emperor Yan in Hanquan, replaced Emperor Yan as the son of heaven, and later defeated Chiyou in the land of Zhuolu, which ended the ancient war, unified the Chinese nation and established the first * * * country in China. Being elected as the first emperor of the Chinese nation, the era of Chinese civilization began. The emperors of Tang Yao, Yu Shun, Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties were all descendants of the Yellow Emperor, so the Yellow Emperor was called the ancestor of the Chinese nation.

2 Xuanyuan Huangdi and China culture

The Yellow Emperor created a rich and splendid Chinese culture for the Chinese nation. The creation and invention of clothing, food, housing, transportation, agriculture, industry, mining, commerce, currency, writing, pictures, bows and arrows, music, medicine, marriage, funeral, calendars, five elements of yin and yang, umbrellas and mirrors in ancient China all began in the era of the Yellow Emperor, and are important symbols of "civilization". When the tradition of attaching importance to civilization developed to the Western Zhou Dynasty, the theory of the division of literary field appeared, and "civilization" was regarded as a virtue. The spirit of emphasizing creation and self-improvement produced during the period of the Yellow Emperor became the spiritual wealth of the Chinese nation after the Yellow Emperor. And formed an excellent cultural tradition. Today, we should carry forward these fine traditions and enhance the cohesion and centripetal force of Chinese people.

3. The Yellow Emperor and the Chinese National Spirit

The Yellow Emperor is a flag of the Chinese nation and the first founder of human beings entering civilized society. In the era of the Yellow Emperor, the problems of food, clothing, housing and transportation were solved, such as making clothes, building ships and cars, making characters, teaching sericulture to grow grain, etc., and gradually guiding people to a civilized and orderly life. The great achievements of the Yellow Emperor era condensed into the spirit of the Yellow Emperor, which was embodied in many aspects. To sum up, there are three main aspects, namely "creation", "dedication" and "unity". This is the crystallization of the precious spirit of the Yellow Emperor era, the great spiritual essence of promoting human progress and development, the spiritual pillar of the Chinese nation and the "heirloom" of hundreds of millions of Chinese people.

It is also on this basis that the Chinese nation has created "The world is public", "Who has never died since ancient times, keeping the heart of Dan in accordance with history", "Giving one's life for righteousness", "Wealth cannot be lewd, poverty cannot be moved, power cannot be bent", "Do one's best, and then die" and "Worry about the world first. These are the spirit of China that will always inspire our Chinese nation to move forward. It is the general principle that regulates our past, present and future words and deeds. It is with this spirit that the Chinese nation can always stand among the nations of the world.
