Fuxi Source of Taihaoling Temple Fair

The Fuxi family of Taihao is the ancestor of human beings in ancient Chinese myths and legends in China. It is said that he and the mother snail family gave birth to human beings. He teaches people to engage in fishing, hunting and animal husbandry, invent characters, create gossip and so on. He is a great male ancestor god created by ancient Han ancestors after they entered the patriarchal society.

Taihao Fuxi Mausoleum is located in the north of Li Sanhuai Yang County. According to textual research, Fuxi Mausoleum of Taihao was built in the Spring and Autumn Period, and there was a shrine in front of the mausoleum of Han Dynasty. The emperors of Tang and Song Dynasties issued imperial edicts to expand cemeteries and offer sacrifices to Taihao Fuxi. The existing Fuxi Mausoleum of Taihao was built in the 13th year of Ming Dynasty, and it was rebuilt and repaired many times in Ming and Qing Dynasties. The Fuxi Mausoleum of Taihao covers an area of more than 875 mu, and its scale is grand, which is rare for cemetery buildings. The cemetery consists of two courtyards, a cemetery and a temple, both of which are surrounded by high walls, commonly known as the Forbidden City. Outside the Forbidden City are the inner city and the outer city. The whole cemetery building takes the mausoleum as the central axis, extending from south to north, followed by Zhaobi (now gone) in Kowloon: Wumaomen, Jade Belt River Stone Bridge and Daoyimen. The instrument door is a congenital door, a pavilion-style building and a brick arch. Further north is Taiji Gate, with the blue plaque of "Fuxi Mausoleum of Taihao" on the door. In front of Taiji Gate is Jade Belt Road, which connects Donghuamen and Xihuamen. The bell tower and drum tower are on both sides of the east side of Taiji Gate, and Tiantong Hall faces north. Tian Tong Temple, located in the center of the cemetery, is the largest building in the cemetery, with eaves and arches, red walls and yellow tiles, and auspicious dragons and phoenixes. The statue of Taihao Fuxi is enshrined in Tian Tong Hall. Fuxi is like a poncho, with two horns on its head, covered with leaves, hides skins around its waist and holds innate gossip in its hand. There are statues of Emperor Yan, Huangdi, Shao Hao and Zhuan Xu around Fuxi.

Behind the Temple of Heaven is the Ren Xian Hall, followed by the bedroom, and behind the bedroom is the tomb of the ancestor Taihao Fuxi. Fuxi tomb is more than 20 meters high and its circumference is 150 meters. It has the meaning of a round place under the upper circle. There is a huge bluestone tombstone in front of the mausoleum, which has been weathered and eroded for a long time, but the characters "Taihao Fuxi" are still discernible. According to legend, the inscription on the tombstone was written by Su Xiaomei, a talented woman in the Song Dynasty, who dipped a sweat towel in perfume powder. White sandalwood and cypress are planted on the mausoleum, full of green.

Behind the grave builder is Fuxi's yarrow garden. It is said that Fuxi used yarrow for divination to eliminate disasters and diseases for the people. Therefore, people later called yarrow "sacred grass". 60 yuan at ordinary times. 20 yuan during the first day, fifteenth day, February 2nd to March 3rd of the lunar calendar.
