KUALA LUMPUR, June 17 (Bernama) -- The 2nd Culture and Tourism Festival of Yaodu took root at the Yao Temple square of Yaodu district in Linfen, China recently.
Themed, ‘Finding roots of Yaodu, fulfilling dreams of China’, the festival saw more than 100 overseas Chinese and representatives from 28 countries and regions converging to feel the vitality of the ancient place.
The Yaodu district is located in south central of Shanxi. It was where Emperor Yao reigned supreme, having been the civilisation’s ancestor. Yao had built his capital here, created calendars and spread it to the entire country.
He delimited nine states, harmonised nations, dug wells to promote farming, established suggestion boxes and governed the country democratically, abdicating and handing over the crown to another person.
Over thousands of years, Yao left precious resources of culture and tourism, including the Yao Temple, Yao Mausoleum, Xian dong gou and the ancient residence of Emperor Yao.
