KUALA LUMPUR, April 6 (Bernama) -- The 2022 Qingming Festival Memorial Ceremony for the Yellow Emperor was recently held at the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor in Shaanxi Province.
The memorial ceremony was jointly organised by the Shaanxi Provincial People's Government, Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council and All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese, according to a statement.
According to the requirements of epidemic prevention and control, the number of performers for the ceremony was significantly compressed, but the ceremony rituals remained unchanged, fully highlighting the profound connotations of the traditional offering culture.
During the superb and elegant memorial music and dance performance, Cao Jianming, Vice Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, presented a flower basket to the statue of the Yellow Emperor.
Liu Guozhong, Secretary of the CPC Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee and Director of the Standing Committee of the Shaanxi Provincial People's Congress, presented the flower basket on behalf of the representatives of Shaanxi province. Zhao Yide, the governor of Shaanxi Province, delivered the memorial address.
Upon the end of the memorial address, all the attendees made three deep bows to the statue of the Yellow Emperor.
After the memorial music and dance performance, a 56-metre-long ‘Chinese dragon’ hovered and leaped from the centre of the altar, soaring to the sky. The dragon travelled through five thousand years of history, telling the story of the Yellow Emperor ascending to heaven.
As the Memorial Ceremony was completed, the attendees visited the Xuanyuan Hall and the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor; they then planted the Qiaoshan cypresses.
