Introduction

Since the fifth year of the Song Qian De dynasty (967 AD), the Yan Emperor's mausoleum has a history of more than a thousand years. With the replacement of dynasties throughout history, the Yan Emperor's temple has been destroyed and rebuilt many times. The Yan Emperor's mausoleum is the resting place of the ancestor of the Chinese nation, the Yan Emperor Shennong, and is known as the "first mausoleum in the Divine Land". The Yan Emperor's mausoleum has three major functional areas: the sacrificial area, the worship area, and the commemorative area. It consists of more than 80 natural and cultural landscapes, including the Yan Emperor's mausoleum hall, the Shennong Grand Hall, the Shennong Garden, the Quemen Gate, the Huaxia Square, the Fulin, the Shengdelin, the Huangshan Monument Forest, and the Yan Emperor's mausoleum archway. The "Yan Emperor's Mausoleum Festival" is one of the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage, and has been successfully selected as one of the "top ten most influential root and kinship cultural events in the world".
