Archaeological discoveries have proven that the Lantian area in Shaanxi has a history of more than 1.3 million years of human activities and is the cradle of human survival and reproduction.
Near Huaxu Town, dozens of Paleolithic sites and more than 20 Neolithic human sites have been discovered, which proves that Huaxu Town has always been an important area for human activities.
Therefore, it is credible that the legendary ruins of the ancient Huaxu Kingdom were located in Huaxu Town in 2013.
As for what the social conditions of the ancient Huaxu Kingdom were like, since there was no writing in that era, it is difficult for people today to say clearly.
The scholar Mr. Gu Shi said in "Chinese Origins" that ancient characters such as Xu, Ya, and Xia are connected, and Huaxu is Huaxia. It can be seen that Huaxu culture is extremely closely related to our thousands of years of Chinese civilization.
The most famous legends about Huaxu that have been passed down to this day include: Nuwa patching up the sky, Nuwa creating man, Fuxi drawing hexagrams, Fuxi and Nuwa brother and sister marrying to continue mankind, and the Yellow Emperor dreaming of Huaxu Kingdom, etc.
Among them, the legend that is widely spread among the people but rarely recorded in ancient books is the marriage of Fuxi and Nuwa's brother and sister.
Legend has it that the members of the Huaxu clan were wiped out in a great flood. Only two brothers and sisters, Fuxi and Nuwa, escaped death because they were sitting in a gourd and floated to a mountain between Lintong and Lantian.
When they saw that there were only two of them left in the world, they got married for the sake of the continuation of mankind.
Before they got married, they swore to God: If God allows us, brother and sister, to get married and reproduce the human race, the smoke from the four mountains will gather and roll together.
After swearing the oath, the two of them pushed the millstone down the ditch.
At this time, I saw that the smoke from the four mountains had gathered together, and the grinding fans were also tightly together, so the two became husband and wife.
In order to commemorate Fuxi and Nuwa's union and their contribution to the reproduction of human beings, later generations named the mountain where they were located Mohe Mountain and the ditch where the millstones were rolled was called Mopangou. They also built an ethnography temple on Mohe Mountain. Later, the name of the ethnography temple changed due to the different names.
Ya, it was renamed Renzong Temple.
Moreover, according to research by some experts, there are similar legends and stories in some ethnic minority areas, which shows that Hua Xu is not only the ancestor of the Han people, but also probably the ancestor of some ethnic minorities in our country.
The legend of the Yellow Emperor dreaming of the Huaxu Kingdom reveals more about the basic conditions of people's social life in the matrilineal clan era.
"Liezi" said that the Yellow Emperor dreamed of visiting the country of Huaxu. The people of Huaxu had no commanders in their country, it was natural, and their people had no hobbies.
It’s just natural; it doesn’t know how to enjoy life, it doesn’t know how to hate death, so it has no premature death; it doesn’t know about relatives and friends, it doesn’t know how to alienate things, so it doesn’t know how to love or hate, it doesn’t know how to rebel, it doesn’t know how to obey, so it has no interests or harms, which shows that in the primitive culture of the matrilineal clan
A social form of socialist society in which everyone is equal among tribe members and has no hobbies of private possession. Legend has it that after absorbing some of the governance experience of Huaxu Kingdom, the Yellow Emperor reached the level of the world after twenty-eight years of governance.
Great governance.
To this day, there is a stele in Huaxu Town that records the achievements of the three emperors. On one of the stele, there are three characters of Huaxu Kingdom in the middle. On the left is Fuxi's pregnancy and on the right is the words Huangdi's Sleepwalking.
After nearly ten years of research, demonstration and historical data collection, the authenticity of Huaxu Mausoleum has been recognized by more and more experts and scholars.
In March 2013, more than 10 units including the World Chinese Federation, China International Cultural Exchange Promotion Association, Chinese Cultural Links Project Organizing Committee, Chinese Institute of Prehistoric Culture, Huangling Foundation, and Lantian County People's Government co-sponsored the event
The first global Chinese ceremony to pay tribute to the Huaxu family was held. More than 40,000 people participated in the ceremony.
Since then, the research on the Huaxu family and the archaeological protection of Huaxu Mausoleum have been fully launched. It marks that the Huaxu family, the ancestor of China, who has been forgotten for nearly a hundred years, has regained the attention of all walks of life. From literary and historical materials, it has
real life.
According to reports, the place of participation is located in Mengyan Village, Huaxu Town, Lantian County, Xi'an City, where Huaxu Mausoleum is located.
The person in charge of the organizing committee said that after extensive solicitation of opinions from all walks of life, 10 people including Wang Xijing, Li Jihe, Xiang Bingwei, Wang Hanzhi and Ren Chao were finally selected as the officiants of the ceremony.
They come from the fields of culture, education, medical care, real estate and other fields. They not only contribute to society in their respective fields, but also strongly support the research and development of Chinese traditional culture.
According to the research of many experts and scholars in this city, large-scale worship activities at Huaxu Mausoleum continued since ancient times, but were interrupted due to war in the early years of the Republic of China.
In 2006, with the consent of the Lantian County People's Government, the 2nd day of the second lunar month was resumed to worship Hua Xu, the ancestor of humanity.
Experts and scholars believe that the Huaxu family is the ancestor of the Chinese nation, the root of China and the mother of the nation.
Huaxu's position among the Chinese ancestors is: Huaxu gave birth to Fuxi and Nuwa, Fuxi and Nuwa gave birth to Shaodian, and Shaodian gave birth to Emperors Yan and Huang.
Everyone knows the story of Nuwa patching up the sky, but few people know that Hua Xu, the biological mother of Nuwa and Fuxi, once lived near Xi'an.
