黄帝陵

约摸算了一下 上次去黄帝陵是小学五年级 离今天再去十来年了 还记得那次上山背了好多吃的 这次直接坐电瓶车上山 岁月不饶人啊 当时还没有天圆地方

There's an old story that the Yellow Emperor, Huangdi, the ancestor of the Chinese people, was assumed into heaven on the back of a yellow dragon, leaving behind only his clothes.Those clothes are now buried at/in Huangling County, Yan'an City, Shaanxi Province, China. To mark the spot, and to celebrate the Yellow Emperor, there's a large memorial hall, with courtyard that can hold 10,000 people, primarily on "tomb-sweeping" day. Yellow flags flap in the breeze, and steps lead to the main hall where a giant statue of the emperor sits. An opening in the ceiling serves as a sun dial. Much of the symbolism and import may be lost on Westerners. There are a LOT of stairs to climb; the scale, as with many modern and ancient monuments in China, is huge, requiring a lot of walking.You can take an electric bus to the 300 stairs up to the spot where the Emperor's clothes are entombed. The stairs lead to the top of a mountain where there is a grass-covered, stone-surrounded earthen tomb. The stairs lead through a pretty cypress-forested area.The Yellow Emperor is still a major folk hero, and his mausoleum/tomb is one of the most important sites for Chinese in China, but I'm unsure whether a visit is anything I would do again (as a Westerner), because, quite honestly, it is newly built.

Ce site est de toute beauté, de ce qu'il contient autant que par sa situation avec la vue en hauteur. Très apaisant. L'histoire et les croyances s'y rattachant sont passionnantes.
