This year, the event also expanded beyond an annual ceremony into an ongoing cultural initiative, encouraging broader public participation and shared cultural experiences. Through cultural education and heritage preservation, participants sought to reconnect with the roots of Chinese civilization and strengthen the collective spirit of national rejuvenation.
Solemn Rituals Honor the Ancestor of Chinese Civilization
Surrounded by lush greenery and an atmosphere of dignity and reverence, the Emperor Yan Scenic Area welcomed guests from around the world. Dressed formally and wearing yellow ceremonial scarves, participants followed the ceremonial procession from the entrance screen wall, passing landmarks including the Four Oxen Farming Sculpture, the Nine-Arch Bridge, the Gate of the Chinese Ancestors, the Sacred Fire Platform and the Seven-Step Ascension Terrace before arriving at the Ancestral Worship Square, where they stood facing the Hall of Emperor Yan.

At 8:40 a.m., the ceremony officially began.
The event consisted of nine ceremonial segments:
1. Drum and Bell Ceremony
The resonant sounds of drums and bells marked the opening of the ceremony and welcomed guests from near and far.
2. Opening of the Sacred Gate
A traditional three-offering ritual was performed, presenting silk and jade, grains and ceremonial wine in tribute to Emperor Yan.
3. Lighting of the New Sacred Flame
Youth representatives from the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and overseas Chinese communities jointly lit the new sacred flame.
As a symbolic vermilion bird adorned with colorful feathers soared across the sky, the Sacred Fire Platform was ignited simultaneously. The moment symbolized descendants of Yan and Huang around the world carrying forward the spirit of Emperor Yan and promoting Chinese civilization.
