Zhengzhou Garden Expo
1132***82The first National Day after the epidemic, I was afraid of the crowds when traveling far away, so I found a scenic spot near my home, and I was surprised. In fact, the Garden Expo Park has been open for a long time, and I have wanted to go there for a long time, but for various reasons I have never made the trip. Today I decided to visit it and fell in love with the beautiful scenery and the holy place for taking photos and checking in.
Huang Di's Hometown
郭郭润龙浪迹天涯20240411 PM:
1. The hometown of Huangdi is the place of worship for Huangdi, the ancestor of Chinese humanities, in Xinzheng City. The Xuanyuan hometown temple, which was built in the Han and Wei dynasties, has been repaired many times in successive dynasties. The current building is mainly the result of two major expansions in 2002 and 2007. Xinzheng City is the residence of the Youxiong clan recorded in the history books of the Han Dynasty, also known as the ruins of the Youxiong Kingdom, and Huangdi was the leader of the Youxiong Kingdom. The scenic area is long from north to south, covering an area of 70,000 square meters. It consists of three major areas: the ancestor worship square, the hometown temple area, and the Chinese surname square. It is a good place for humanities learning and worshipping gods. Every year on the third day of the third lunar month (said to be the birthday of Huangdi), the Shangsi Festival will hold the "Huangdi Hometown Ancestor Worship Ceremony", which is a national intangible cultural heritage, but tourists are prohibited from entering and can only watch it from the live broadcast on the Internet.

It is 8 meters wide, 7 meters deep, 10 meters high, covers an area of 56 square meters, and has a base height of 1.2 meters.

The two had a close relationship. Emperor Longqing often asked Gao Gong for advice. Gao Gong had to walk from his home to this building to receive the emperor's order, so this building was also called "receiving the order pavilion"

Shizu Mountain
苦苦海无边,望不到岸Xinzheng Shizu Mountain was originally named Juci Mountain, with the main peak at an altitude of 1,050 meters. Du Fu once left a poem "No need to accompany Xuanpu, stand tall and wait for Juci". The cultural relics of Huangdi are scattered throughout the mountains and fields, making it a characteristic area for displaying Huangdi culture.
"Historical Records" records that Huangdi once climbed this mountain: Huangdi climbed Juci, visited Dayu, and ordered his carriage to Xiang's wilderness. The seven saints were all confused and had no way to ask.
