Extended data:
The folk sacrificial activities to Xuanyuan Huangdi have continued since ancient times. Folk sacrifices are generally held around Tomb-Sweeping Day and during the Double Ninth Festival. Since the Northern Song Dynasty, most folk sacrifices have been held on the Double Ninth Festival in September of the lunar calendar.
Legend has it that this day is the day when Lapras, the Yellow Emperor, ascended to heaven, so the "Yi Xian Festival for the Yellow Emperor in Xuanyuan" was held. On the morning of the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, hundreds of thousands of people from Fiona Fang, Huangling, gathered at the foot of Qiao Shan, carrying tributes and sacrifices.
When the time comes, gongs and drums will be played and ancient music will be played together. People put cattle and sheep tapirs and various offerings on the altar in front of the mausoleum to pay homage to their ancestors and pray for good luck. Sacrificial activities are grand and solemn.
It is particularly worth mentioning that since the reform and opening up, more and more overseas Chinese descendants have returned to China to pay homage to the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor. They searched for their roots and ancestors for thousands of miles, and they never forgot their hometown, which reflected the childlike feelings of the descendants of the Chinese people who are connected by blood and have the same roots and ancestors.
Sacrifices to the Huangdi Mausoleum in Qiao Shan in different periods have different historical backgrounds, sacrificial concepts and sacrificial ceremonies, but they all embody the Chinese national spirit of national identity, national unity and harmonious rejuvenation, and have been passed down to this day.
