Introduction

The Yan Emperor's Mausoleum is located on the Changyang Mountain in the Shenlong Town, Weibin District, Baoji City. It is the main place for the Yan descendants to seek their roots and pay homage to their ancestors. The Yan Emperor lived around 6000 to 5500 years ago, born on the banks of the Jiang River (now within the territory of Baoji City). As history developed, his descendants migrated southeast along the Wei River to Hubei, Hunan, Shanxi, and other places. In a broad sense, the Yan Emperor is a tribal clan with several lineages. Therefore, there are five Yan Emperor's hometowns in China. Baoji in Shaanxi, Suizhou in Hubei, Yanling County and Huitong County in Hunan, and Gaoping County in Shanxi are all considered Yan Emperor's hometowns. Among them, the first and second generations of the Yan Emperor both lived in Baoji. If we go by the first generation, the Yan Emperor only existed in Baoji. Baoji is one of the birthplaces of the Chinese nation and a hometown of the Yan Emperor.
