San Zu Tang

Located to the east of Xuanyuan lake and 200 meters north of Huangdi spring, the three ancestral halls of China is the central scenic spot of the cultural tourism area of Huangdi city in China. Sanzutang is a Tang style building with double eaves and flying corners. It is magnificent and has all wooden structures. The hall covers an area of 104 Mu and is composed of a plane altar, a three patriarchal hall and a back hall.

brief introduction

Standing in Zhuolu County, Hebei Province, the three ancestral halls of the Chinese nation were built on the basis of the original Huangdi ancestral hall and donated by 320000 Chinese people at home and abroad. They officially opened on July 25, 1998.

Sanzutang is built on the mountain and beam. It is high and independent, with no palace beside it. It gives people a kind of awe. Around her, there are huangdiquan, huangdicheng and Xuanyuan lake, which show her majesty.

The construction of Zhonghua SANZU hall started in August 1994 and was officially completed on October 4, 1997. The whole project covers an area of 104 mu, which is composed of the gate, the plane altar and the three ancestral hall. The main project of the three ancestral hall is modeled on the earliest and best preserved Tang Dynasty building Foguang temple. The whole hall has seven rooms and three deep rooms. The roof has a gentle slope, far-reaching eaves, large size and proportion of bucket arches, thick columns, and the doors and windows are plate doors and straight lattice windows. The style is simple, solemn and magnificent. The statues of the three ancestors in the hall are different and lifelike. The Yellow Emperor in the middle is dignified, the Yan Emperor on the right is wise and elegant, and Chi Youyong on the left is fierce. The statues are 6 meters high and are all made of clay. Four large murals are painted on the four walls of the main hall, which are "battle of Zhuolu", "battle of Heshan", "battle of Zhuolu as the capital" and "battle of sakizumi". The three ancestral halls of China have become an ideal place to carry out patriotic education for future generations and enhance national cohesion. At the same time, it is also a holy land for Chinese people, people of all nationalities and patriots at home and abroad to worship their ancestors, offer sacrifices and cherish the past.

Architectural features

In SANZU hall, 12 towering columns support the huge wooden roof, expanding 780 square meters of solemn space. The statues of Huangdi, Yandi and Chiyou, which are simple and lifelike, 5.5 meters high and 4 meters wide, are sitting upright in the memorial hall. Each of the three statues has its own place. The Yellow Emperor sat in the middle, slightly higher than the others, gazing at the front, solemn and serene. Emperor Yan lived on the right side, dressed in grain, raised his left hand and meditated with his eyes. Chiyou's right hand is akimbo, left hand clenches fist, dressed in animal skin, eyes wide open.

Why is Chiyou the ancestor? This is inseparable from the history of the integration of the Chinese nation.

About 4700 years ago, the Yellow Emperor, Yan Emperor and Chiyou fought a fierce war in Zhuolu, Hebei Province. After the integration of the three tribes, they developed southward from Zhuolu and Hebei Province and settled down in the Yellow River Basin, forming the ancient residents of the Central Plains of China, which laid the historical foundation for the later Chinese people. In the process of the integration of the Chinese people, a large family of pluralism and unity has been formed, and no one can tell who is the descendant of the ancestor. So, since we recognize Emperor Huang and Emperor Yan as our ancestors, why not recognize Chiyou as our ancestors? Huangdi, Yandi and Chiyou are the three roots of the life of the Chinese nation, and the three ancestors are the three monuments in the formation of Chinese civilization.

There are vivid murals in sanzutang, which vividly show the brilliant achievements of the three forefathers who founded Chinese civilization about 4700 years ago.

On the west side of sanzutang, there is a stele Pavilion. On the black marble stele, there is an inscription of Zhou Yingnan, a Singaporean Chinese, who donated 1 million yuan for the construction of sanzutang. On the east side of the three ancestral halls, there are "steles of returning to roots of Hong Kong soil" and three returning to roots pines. On the eve of Hong Kong's return to China in 1997, three young people from Jilin Province, full of patriotic enthusiasm, went all the way to Hong Kong to collect soil. On the east side of sanzutang, they planted three regressive pines with the soil they collected from Hong Kong. Before the regressive pines, a 1997 cm high granite "Hong Kong Soil returning monument" was erected. Three verdant pine trees and three ancestral halls have become the symbol of the unity of the Chinese nation.
