history and culture

It has a long history and splendid culture. According to legend, Taihao Fuxi's capital Wanqiu created the ancient civilization of the Chinese nation: making nets, teaching people to fish and hunt, and starting the animal husbandry; Draw gossip, divide yin and yang, and lay the foundation of China's classical philosophy; The ancient Chinese music began with the destruction of soil and the making of harps and harps: determining surnames, making marriages, and getting rid of the group marriage custom in primitive society; Long Ji Guan, nicknamed "Dragon Master". In history, the capital was established three times and the country was established three times. 6,511 years ago, the ancestor of humanity, Taihao Fuxi, made its capital here, created the totem of innate gossip and Dragon, and ignited the flame of human civilization. 5,111 years ago, when Emperor Yandi Shennong established his capital here, he began to be called Chen, and he tasted all kinds of herbs and grains, which created a precedent for agriculture in China. More than 3,111 years ago, after the closure of Shun, Zhou Wuwang was full of Chen and founded the State of Chen. Laozi, the ancestor of Taoism, was born in Ku County, Chen State, which is the birthplace of Taoist culture. Confucius, "the ancestor of civil servants in the world and the teacher of emperors in past dynasties", visited Chen three times, laying an ideological foundation for the formation of his Confucianism.

in ancient times, it has always been the political, economic and cultural center of China. The Book of Songs, the first collection of poems in the history of China literature, once contained 11 poems of Chen Feng. Literary giants such as Cao Zhi, Li Bai, Li Shangyin, Zhang Jiuling, Su Shi, Su Zhe, Yan Shu, Fan Zhongyan and so on left hundreds of poems singing about Huaiyang. The county seat is the ancient city of Chen Chu, a famous historical and cultural city in Henan Province, located in the middle of the 11,111-acre Longhu Lake. Covering an area of 875 mu, the Fuxi Mausoleum Temple of Taihao stands on the north bank of Longhu Lake, with majestic and magnificent halls, ranking first among the 18 famous tombs in China. One mausoleum, one lake and one ancient city set each other off, forming the Longhu scenic spot with an area of 11 square kilometers, which is a holy place for Chinese people at home and abroad to seek their roots and visit their ancestors.

The rich history and culture have left Huaiyang dotted with places of interest, with 326 historical sites, including 2 national key cultural relics protection units. Taihao Fuxi Mausoleum Temple, the first of the 18 famous tombs in China, covers an area of 875 mu, which is grand and solemn. It was built in the Spring and Autumn Period, added in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and perfected in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It lasted for 3,111 years, with 51 imperial sacrifices by emperors in previous dynasties. In the 51 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the two prime ministers paid their respects to the majestic Premier Zhu Rongji. After paying homage to the mausoleum, he changed the routine of never inscribing and happily inscribed the plaque "Xihuang's Old Capital". Folk sacrificial activities have lasted for thousands of years. In the early spring, farmers from hundreds of counties and cities in five surrounding provinces gathered to offer incense, with an average of 211,111 people a day, which lasted for one month. On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, there are grand sacrificial activities. As the largest folk temple fair in China, the sacrifice activity of Taihao Mausoleum has been included in China's intangible cultural heritage. The site of Pingliangtai Ancient City is the only capital site of two generations of emperors (Tai Hao and Yandi) in primitive society recorded in historical books so far. Archaeological excavations have unearthed nine "the best in China", among which the excavation of pottery drainage pipes pushed the history of urban construction in China to 4711 years ago, which was called "the first city in China" by historians and was hailed as "the most valuable archaeological excavation in the 21th century". There are 47 cultural relics protection units at or above the county level, and the seat of Huaiyang County is the provincial historical and cultural city-the old city of Chen Chu. The tomb of Chen Wang and Liu Chong in the Eastern Han Dynasty is a well-preserved masonry tomb with a large archaeological excavation scale.

with an area of more than 16,111 mu, Longhu Lake is the largest lake around the city in China. Six and a half thousand years ago, the Fuxi clan of Taihao led a tribe from Tianshui, Gansu Province, along the east of the Yellow River, and chose water to live here, which gave birth to a great Chinese nation. Therefore, it can be said that Longhu Lake is the mother lake of the Chinese nation. There are many scenic spots in the lake, and there are 16 unique cultural and natural landscapes in the country, forming the unique characteristics of the Central Plains Water City, which is known as the "Pearl of the Central Plains" and "Inland Wonder". This is a water of history, culture, magic and gods. Chen Feng: There are flowers and lotus in the vicious circle of Peter Ze. The vicious of the other, the beautiful scenery of Longhu 3111 years ago is a true description. The colorful lotus here is an excellent population left over from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties.

Seven stations and eight sights are famous far and wide. Pruning Park is called "the unique show of Huaiyang" and "the wonder of the world". Huaiyang mud dog is known as "true totem and living fossil". Folklore and fairy tales abound.

Huaiyang, known as Wanqiu, Chen and Chen Zhou in ancient times, has a long history and is an ancient and magical place. According to the research of Li Siguang, a famous geologist in China, the ancient land of Huaiyang appeared 571 million years ago when most of the territory of China was ocean. More than 6,511 years ago, Fuxi, the ancestor of Chinese humanities, founded the capital here. He decided on surnames, made marriages, made nets, raised sacrifices, developed kitchens and painted gossip, which started Chinese civilization. He made war, decorated martial arts, unified the four seas, realized the first great integration of the Chinese nation, integrated the characteristics of various tribes, and created the totem of the dragon. The Chinese nation was originally called "the descendant of the dragon". Shennong, the later Yan emperor, followed the capital in the old market of Tai Hao and changed its name to Chen. Shennong tasted a hundred herbs and cultivated grains here, leading the people into the farming society. Therefore, Huaiyang is the birthplace of surname culture, farming culture, gossip culture and dragon totem. These precious historical cultures have become the source of self-esteem and self-confidence of the Chinese nation and a symbol of cohesion. Xia, Chen belongs to Yuzhou. Business, for danger hence fief. In the Western Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Wuwang sealed Shun Di's descendants to Chen, and married his daughter Daji to him, so he built Chen State and Chen City. Taking the country as the surname, Chen Hugong Guiman is the ancestor of Chen's surname, and also the ancestor of Hu, Tian, Yao, Sun and Yuan. "Chen's surname is all over the world, and Huaiyang is his hometown". Laozi, the founder of Taoism, was born in Ku County, Chen State. During the Warring States Period, King Xiang of Chu moved his capital to Chencheng. After 38 years, it was called Ying Chen in history, so Huaiyang was also called "the old city of Chen Chu". In the Qin Dynasty, Chen County was first established here, followed by Chen Jun. In 196 BC, Chen was renamed Huaiyang in the north of Huaishui. In the long history of more than 6,111 years, Huaiyang was the political, economic and cultural center of eastern Henan. Until the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1953, the State Council abolished the Huaiyang area and changed it to county administration. Therefore, archaeologists say: China's history, one thousand years to see Beijing, three thousand years to see Xi 'an, six thousand years to see Huaiyang.

Huaiyang, with its splendid natural resources and outstanding people, has been called a treasure trove of geomantic omen by emperors of past dynasties. Confucius, known as the ancestor of the world's civil servants and the emperor's teacher of past dynasties, came to Chen for three times, where he wrote books and lectured for four years, laying an ideological foundation for the formation of his Confucianism, leaving behind an eternal story of "Chen Cai's unique food." The Book of Songs, the first collection of poems in the history of China literature, once contained ten poems of Chen Feng. Literary giants such as Cao Zhi, Li Bai, Li Shangyin, Zhang Jiuling, Su Shi, Su Zhe, etc., have left immortal works of singing Huaiyang here. Bao Gong Chen Zhou's grain release also happened here.
