三月三，拜軒轅 / 3rd day of the 3rd month, worship the Yellow Emperor

3/23, 大家跟隨 郭正傑老師 （Gerry Kuo) 及 馮思涵 （Rebecca）代表學校參加舊金山第十屆海外炎黃祭祖大典，亮相我們的展位！

黄帝故里拜祖大典是一项祭祀活动，每年农历三月初三在黄帝故里——河南省新郑市举行。大典仪程包括“盛世礼炮、敬献花篮、净手上香、行施拜礼、恭读拜文、高唱颂歌、乐舞敬拜、祈福中华、天地人和”九项内容。这一祭拜传统可追溯至春秋战国时期，当时黄帝后裔便在轩辕之丘（今河南新郑）定期举行追思活动。唐朝建立后，祭拜黄帝逐渐成为历代中国政权的官方或民间活动。近年来，该传统传播至海外，让全球炎黄子孙共襄盛举。

同學們在展位一起值班，穿著白大褂更顯專業風範──人多有氣氛！大家參與助兴，代表學校，我們對此深表感謝。所有現場治療將由郭老師親自指導。

On March 23, students, led by teachers Gerry Kuo (郭正傑) and Rebecca Feng (馮思涵), represented our school at the 10th Overseas Yan Huang Ancestral Worship Ceremony in San Francisco, showcasing our exhibition booth!

The Hometown of the Yellow Emperor Ancestor Worship Ceremony is a grand sacrificial ritual held annually on the third day of the third lunar month in the Yellow Emperor’s hometown—Xinzheng, Henan Province. The ceremony consists of nine main rituals: the grand ceremonial cannon salute, offering flower baskets, hand-cleansing and incense offering, bowing ceremony, reading the tribute text, singing the eulogy, musical and dance tribute, praying for China’s prosperity, and harmony between heaven, earth, and humanity. This tradition of worship can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, when the descendants of the Yellow Emperor regularly held memorial ceremonies at Xuanyuan Hill (present-day Xinzheng, Henan). After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, worshiping the Yellow Emperor gradually became an official or folk tradition upheld by successive Chinese dynasties. In recent years, this tradition has spread overseas, allowing descendants of the Yan and Huang Emperors around the world to participate in and celebrate this grand event.

At the event, our students staffed the booth in lab coats, embodying professionalism and teamwork. Their enthusiastic participation not only honored the school but also enlivened the atmosphere. We extend our deepest gratitude to all involved. All on-site therapeutic demonstrations were supervised by Teacher Gerry Kuo.
