A launching ceremony marking the 27th anniversary of Hong Kong's
return to the motherland was held in Victoria Park of Hong Kong on
June 29, kicking off a series of celebration activities organized
by the Hong Kong Celebrations Association.
The exhibition on the culture of the Mausoleum of
Huangdi attracted a large number of Hong Kong citizens, which
offers them a glimpse into the northwest China's Shaanxi Province,
where the mausoleum is located, and enables them to feel the charm
of excellent traditional Chinese culture. The administrative
committee of Huangdi Mausoleum cultural park and the government of
Huangling County organized a cultural promotion event on June 30 at
the Grand Center in Hong Kong.
Huangdi, also known as the Yellow Emperor, blazed
the trail and laid the foundation of the splendid civilization of
the Chinese nation. He is considered the progenitor of Chinese
culture. According to "Records of the Grand Historian," after
Huangdi's passing, he was buried in Qiaoshan Mountain. The
Mausoleum of Huangdi is located at the peak of Qiaoshan Mountain in
Huangling County, Shaanxi Province.
The Mausoleum of Huangdi is a spiritual symbol of
Chinese civilization, revered by Chinese both at home and abroad.
It serves as a sacred place for the Chinese diaspora worldwide to
reconnect with their roots and honor their ancestors.
The cultural exhibition covers an area of over 200
square meters. The exhibition focuses on the theme of Huangdi and
the culture surrounding his mausoleum. It includes various sections
such as thematic displays with pictures and texts, exhibitions of
inscriptions and stone carvings, and showcases of black pottery
artworks.
The exhibition aims to introduce the remarkable
achievements of Huangdi, showcase the historical rituals and
ceremonies dedicated to him throughout different periods, and
tell the story of the inheritance of Chinese civilization.
Furthermore, it seeks to promote cultural tourism related to the
Mausoleum of Huangdi.
In the exhibition, many precious cultural
elements of the Mausoleum of Huangdi, such as the replicas of the
Xuanyuan Hall, the statue of Huangdi, the cypress tree planted by
Huangdi himself, and the inscriptions in the mausoleum, appear in
Victoria Park. With the main focus on inheriting the Huangdi
culture and keeping the Chinese roots culture alive, this immersive
exhibition offers visitors an opportunity to experience Chinese
culture and trace their cultural heritage.
The exhibition hall also features a variety of
interactive experiences, allowing visitors to participate in
activities such as seeking blessing, tracing the origins of family
names, hanging wishing plaques on the cypress tree planted by
Huangdi, ink rubbings, and collecting stamps.
Calligraphy artists and intangible cultural
heritage inheritors from Huangling County are invited to write
calligraphy on site and create traditional Huangling paper-cutting
and dough flower artworks, allowing Hong Kong citizens to

sense of cultural kinship.
In a bid to showcase China in various perspectives,
this year's celebration campaign has featured the participation of
various provinces and cities in China, as well as relevant
organizations and enterprises, which will present a panoramic
display of the beautiful vision of China's modernization and to
celebrate the joy of the return to the motherland. The exhibition
will run for four days until July 2.
Through exhibitions, interactive experiences of
intangible cultural heritage, and cultural promotions, the event

splendid image of Shaanxi, aiming to enhance cultural exchanges and
tourism partnership between Hong Kong and Shaanxi, and further
