Introduction to Huangdi Mausoleum:
Huangdi Mausoleum, located in Beiqiao Mountain, huangling county, Yan 'an City, Shaanxi Province, is the mausoleum of Xuanyuan, the ancestor of the Chinese nation, and the only one in historical records. In ancient times, it was called "Qiaoling", which was the place where emperors and celebrities in China offered sacrifices to the Yellow Emperor. According to historical records, the earliest sacrifice to the Yellow Emperor began in the fourth year of Zhou Weilie (422 BC), and Qin Linggong "served as an official of Wuyang in the temple and devoted himself to the Yellow Emperor". Since the first year of Emperor Yuan Feng of the Han Dynasty (1 10 years ago), Qiao Shan has always been the place where great national sacrifices were held.
There is a cypress planted by the Yellow Emperor in front of the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor, which is said to have been planted by the Yellow Emperor in Xuanyuan for more than 5,000 years. It is the oldest cypress in the world, and is known as "the father of cypress in the world" and "the crown of cypress in the world".

In May 2002, it was listed as a national scenic spot, and in May 2007, it was listed as the first batch of national AAAAA-level tourist attractions.

Geographical environment of Huangdi Mausoleum:
Qiao Shan, where the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor is located, is located one kilometer north of huangling county, Shaanxi Province, which is the east extension of Ziwuling in Shaanxi and Gansu. Ziwuling runs from north to south, with sons in the north and Wu in the south, so it is called Ziwuling. Qiaoshan Mountain, with a total area of 566.7 hectares, is magnificent and surrounded by meandering water on three sides. There are more than 80,000 ancient cypresses on the mountain, which are evergreen all year round.
The music history of Taiping Yuhuan in the Northern Song Dynasty contains: "Qiao Shan's Classic of Mountains and Seas says:" The source of Pugu is at the foot of the mountain, and the water circulates, so it is called Qiao Shan. Gu Zuyu, a Qing Dynasty man, said in "Reading History": "Qushui crosses the north, so it is named because of the bridge. "
He Ju River encircles Qiao Shan in a U-shape from west to east. Standing on the mountain and looking down, there is a river in the east and a river in the west, just like water flowing from the foot of the mountain. Therefore, Qiaoshan Mountain and Huangdi Mausoleum are named after the mountains.
On July 1992, 1 1 day, People's Daily published an article entitled "Geomantic Axis of Huangdi Mausoleum". The article said: "The Feng Shui Axis of Huangdi Mausoleum is the main ridge from Qiaoshan Mountain to Huangdi Mausoleum, which is connected with the peak of Yintai Mountain. All kinds of buildings in Huangdi Mausoleum are built on this axis, and the direction of the tomb is just on this line. This line runs from northwest to southeast, that is to say, the direction of the mausoleum of Huangdi Mausoleum is different from that of later emperors, that is, it faces south due to the north (facing south due to the north) or east due to the west (facing east due to the west), but according to geography, it faces southeast with its back to the northwest, which is completely consistent with the direction of Qiaoshan Mountain, Ziwuling Mountain and Kunlun Mountain, that is, the basic form of China's geography-it leans northwest and is dissatisfied with the southeast.
