history

In 1986, Wang Renmin, who held an important position in Zhengzhou's key tourist attractions, visited Singapore and the United States to investigate tourism projects. The Chinese who came into contact with overseas agreed with the concept of the descendants of the Yellow River, so Wang Renmin came up with the idea of building a sculpture of the two emperors of the Yellow River. On October 15, 1987, Wang Renmin presided over a press conference on the construction of the two great statues of Yanhuang emperor in the Yellow River tourist area, and issued a donation proposal to Chinese people all over the world. Since then, Wang Renmin has been lobbying for five years at home and abroad. In 1988, with Zhou Gucheng as the president and Xiao Ke as the executive president, the Preparatory Committee for the two emperors of Yan and Huang was established in Beijing. On May 10, 1991, the National Society for the study of Chinese Yanhuang Culture was established in Beijing. Some important state officials attended the meeting to congratulate them. On September 12 of the same year, the foundation stone laying ceremony of Yanhuang giant sculpture was held. Three years after the foundation was laid, the foundation project of the two statues of Yanhuang emperor was started in September 1994. However, due to the frequent shortage of funds, the construction of the project was stopped and stopped. On February 13, 2004, Zhengzhou municipal government was responsible for the construction of the project, which was listed as the key construction project of Zhengzhou. Zhengzhou municipal government made the project construction progress smoothly through government investment and investment promotion. On April 18, 2007, the statue of emperor Yanhuang was inaugurated.

To sum up, the project was initiated in 1986 and completed in 20 years, which can be roughly divided into three stages: the first stage, from 1986 to 1990, is the initial design stage of the project, mainly studying the necessity, feasibility and site selection of Yanhuang giant plastic construction. The second stage, from 1991 to 1995, is the design stage of the project. It mainly studies how to build the project. During this period, 11 demonstration meetings were held for the five drafts of the design. More than 100 well-known experts and scholars in China participated in the meeting. The design and construction scheme was initially determined, and the procedures of project approval, planning, and commencement permit were handled respectively. The third stage, from 1996 to 2007, is the financing construction period. During this period, certain construction funds have been raised. 76 pile foundations and foundation layers of Yanhuang giant plastic foundation have been completed. For 18 years, this project has been in the charge of Henan Yanhuang Culture Research Association, and it has been constructed by means of private and social fund-raising. For a long time, the fund-raising effect is not very ideal, and the fund has not been implemented. However, after 18 years of planning and publicity, the giant statues of Yanhuang and Huangdi have gained considerable influence and popularity in the whole country and even in the world Thanks to the attention and strong support of Li Ruihuan, Zhou Gucheng, Xiao Ke, Cheng Siyuan, Li Zhengdao and other celebrities at home and abroad, the whole project was finally completed in 2007.
