And Zhengzhou is also famous for it’s long history. Zhengzhou was the capital city of middle Shang Dynasty 3500 years ago. And the oldest city wall so far existing in the world is located in the city of Zhengzhou. Long history has left us many historical sites.
The Native Place of the Yellow Emperor is just one of them. It located 38 kilometers south of the Zhengzhou urban area in Xinzheng city. This small city is part of Zhengzhou and is also famous for its long history. Our ancestor started to live here about 8000 years ago. And Xinzheng is also famous for one thing—Chinese date. The Chinese dates here can supply people with richer vitamin C than oranges and taste sweeter than suger cane. The native place of Emperor Huangdi is the sacred place where Emperor Huangdi, the ancestor of the Chinese nation was born and his capital founded, hence the root of the Chinese all over the world. And the annual Memorial Ceremony to Ancestor that is held in the Native Place of the Yellow Emperor, also attracts Chinese people from all over the world to cmon here and find their roots.

Here we are, the Native Place of the Yellow Emperor.
The first memorial gate was built under the Hong Kong Chinese Nation International Friendship Association in 2000.
This square built in the end of 1998.It covers an area of 15000 square meters,of which 7900 square meters are covered with trees and flowers.The trees represent Chinese nationalities, and the flowers are Chinese people.This is the reason of building the square.
Well, ladies and gentlemen , Let's go to visit the Main Hall. This statue is the Yellow Emperor----the first ancestor of Chinese civilization.Look!Are they beautiful? The eight murals painting on the wall vividly describe the great achievements of the Yellow Emperor. Now I'd like to introduce several famous murals of them to you.
The third mural is Setting up an Alliance by the Yellow Emperor and Emperor Yandi.5000 years old in the territory of china centered with the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River,there used to live hundreds of thousands of clans.One led by Emperor Yandi at Chenqiu was so powerful that all clans around obeyed him.Emperor Yandi invaded the clans nearby.The Yellow Emperor led the troops of Youxiong Clan and launched three fierce battles against Yandi at Banquan and defeated Yandi.Since then,they founded an alliance and laid a foundation of the Chinese nation.
The fourth mural is Crusading Against Chiyou.While Yandi and the Yellow Emperor were entering into an alliance,the Jiuli Clan rose in the east.Chiyou, the tribe leader was more like a devil and swept away all obstacles.The Yellow Emperor fought against Chiyou for nine times but could not defeat him.In the battles,Chiyou could spray fog by himself,and made people lose their bearings.In order to defeat Chiyou,the Yellow Emperor ordered Fenghou to make compass chariots to guide the directions,and broke through the fog made by Chiyou and set 8 arrays,and defeated Chiyou after 52 fights.Chiyou ran to Zhongji,but was captured and killed by Yinglong,a general of the Yellow Emperor.
Aright,please follow me.This is Making Youxiong the Capital.When the Yellow Emperor defeated Chiyou,he became renowned far and wide.Every tribe admired him so much,and elected him the head of all tribes.Then,the Yellow Emperor led his tribe to go back to his native place and issued an imperial edict to all the tribes that making Youxiong his capital,present Xinzheng City,Henan, the first capital in Chinese history.
So until now,the visit in the Native Palace of the Yellow Emperor is almost over.I think you may have some questions about the scenic spot,or you want to take some photos,so,please do remember,you will have an hour.After an hour we will gather at the gate,and make sure you'll be there on time.Then we are going to the next place.Thank you for your attention!
