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.

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.
