Album Info:

Descendants of Yan and Yellow Emperors or Yan Huang Zi Sun is an ancient Chinese term to refer to the Han Chinese and certain groups of minorities. Yan Emperor and Yellow Emperor are both the ancestors of the Huaxia people. Legend has it that both of them came from a same clan but later due to certain reasons they became enemies and fought each other. Eventually, Yellow emperor defeated the Yan emperor and the two peoples gradually assimilated each other's culture and became known as the Huaxia people. Centuries later, the Huaxia developed into the Han Chinese, which is the majority Chinese today. Both Yan and Yellow emperors are known as the founders of the Chinese civilization. (Wikipedia) our Henan guide told us that the statue was made off-site and put up atop the hill after completion
