Ok, ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention please? Well, I see, everyone of you is in pretty good shape today, right? I guess maybe you had sweet dreams last night. And now, let me tell you a good news, that is today we are going to visit a famous tourist attraction which you have been expecting for a long time. That is The Native Place of the Yellow Emperor---the place where he was born,started his career and founded his capital. Today,we will take you to Xinzheng, the birthplace of Huangdi for a closer look.
　　Xinzheng City lies in the center of Henan Province in central China. It is a satellite city of Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan Province. Huangdi made Xinzheng his capital and initiated the fabulous Chinese culture.
　　Dating back our civilized history to 5000 years ago, we are known as the descendents of Yanhuang. Both Yandi and Huangdi were tribal chiefs in their time. With their combined forces, they defeated Chiyou, another tribal leader and Huangdi united China after 52 battles. All Chinese, despite nationalities, regard Huangdi as our ancestor. Huangdi, the initiator of Chinese civilization, was hence worshipped by his descendents.
　　Every year on March 3 of the lunar calendar, the day when the first emperor in China established the first nation in Chinese history, people of Chinese origin from home and abroad gather in Xinzheng, the birthplace of Xuanyuan Huangdi, or the Yellow Emperor, to offer sacrifices and worship this legendary ancestor of the Chinese nation. Legend holds that the emperor united different tribes on March 3 and held a ceremony with an impressive display of power and influence.
　　To respect this great Emperor, his descendants have held large ceremonies of worship since the epoch of Spring and Autumn (770-446 BC). In 1992, the Henan provincial government authorized Xinzheng city to begin to hold the Yanhuang Cultural Festival, which has been attracting descendents of Yanhuang from America, Japan, Korea, Canada and other nations and areas each year. They come back to worship, seeking their roots here in China. Grand ceremonies and various activities are arranged to memorialize this great emperor. The children are singing a eulogy for him:
　　Many overseas Chinese are present at the ceremony. Fast economic development and a stable social environment in China over the past two decades endow China with a strengthened image in the international community and at the same time are attracting many returnees to start their businesses in their home country. They are proud of their Chinese origins. They are proud that they are Huangdi′s descendents. They come back to make investment with a strong will for China to become stronger and more prosperous.
　　Well, OK. Here we are, the Native Place of the Yellow Emperor. Please get ready your stuff and then dismount the bus. We’ll begin our terrific visiting. I’m sure you’ll enjoy a splendid experience here. Have a good time. Thank you!
