Why do the Chinese choose to worship Xuanyuan on the third day of the third lunar month?
为什么选择在“三月三”这一天拜轩辕呢？
This day is said to mark the birth of the Yellow Emperor. In addition to this, it carries rich cultural significance, closely linked to ancient sacrificial traditions, the spring season, and folk customs. For example, the third day of the third lunar month coincides with spring, when the weather is warm and everything comes to life. It is a day full of vitality and hope, symbolizing new beginnings. In Chinese culture, spring is an important season for ancestor worship and praying for blessings.
因为相传这一天是黄帝的诞辰。除此之外，这个日子还承载着丰富的文化内涵，与古代祭祀传统、春季节气和民俗文化密切相关。比如，三月初三正值春季，气候温暖、万物复苏，这一天充满了活力和希望，象征着新的开始。在中华文化中，春季本就是重要的拜祖、祈福季节。
Therefore, to commemorate the Yellow Emperor, every year on the third day of the third lunar month, Xinzheng holds a grand ancestor worship ceremony, symbolizing the Chinese nation's deep remembrance of the "ancestor of human civilization" and its tracing of the nation's roots.
因此，为了纪念黄帝，每年农历三月初三，新郑都会举行盛大的“黄帝故里拜祖大典”，象征着中华民族对“人文初祖”的深切怀念和对民族根源的追溯。
Although the Yellow Emperor is a legendary figure, Xinzheng's recognition as his birthplace has already become deeply rooted in Chinese culture. Xinzheng not only has the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor Memorial Hall but also the Yellow Emperor's Hometown Scenic Area. It can be said that Xinzheng's cultural status plays an important role in uniting national feelings and strengthening cultural identity.
虽然黄帝属于传说中的人物，但新郑作为黄帝诞生地的认同已经根植于中华文化之中。新郑不仅有轩辕黄帝纪念堂，还有黄帝故里景区。可以说，新郑这一文化地位，在凝聚民族情感、强化文化认同方面也起着重要作用。（杨佳欣）
