The theme of this year's ceremony remains "Same Root, Same Ancestor, Same Origin; Peace, Friendship, Harmony". The main rituals include nine key elements: Ceremonial Salute, Offering of Floral Baskets, Hand Purifying and Incense Lighting, Collective Worshiping, Recitation of the Ancestral Tribute, Chanting of Praises, Worshiping by Music and Dance, Prayers for China's Prosperity, and Harmony Between Heaven, Earth, and Humanity.

今年大典主题仍为“同根同祖同源，和平和睦和谐”。大典的九项仪程分别是：盛世礼炮、敬献花篮、净手上香、共拜始祖、恭读拜文、高唱颂歌、乐舞敬拜、祈福中华、天地人和。

Xuanyuan, also known as Huangdi or the Yellow Emperor, stands as an enduring symbol of the Chinese nation. Over five millennia ago, amidst the mountains and rivers of modern-day Xinzheng in Zhengzhou, Henan, Xuanyuan ignited the spark of tribal cohesion, agricultural advancement, and societal evolution, kindling the dawn of Chinese civilization. After thousands of years of accumulation and growth, the Yellow Emperor culture has been forged into the cultural DNA of the Chinese people, embodying the collective spiritual identity. The Ancestor Worship Ceremony of the Yellow Emperor at his birthplace, as an important part of the excellent traditional Chinese culture, has become an influential and iconic cultural emblem in the global Chinese community.

轩辕黄帝是中华民族的精神象征，5000多年前，在河南郑州新郑的具茨山下、溱洧河畔，轩辕黄帝点燃了部落融合、生产发展、社会进步的火种，点亮了中华文明的曙光。黄帝文化经过数千年的积淀和发展，已深深地融入了中华民族的血脉，成为中华民族共同的精神记忆。黄帝故里拜祖大典作为中华优秀传统文化的重要组成部分，已成为全球华人世界具有影响力和标志性的重要文化名片。
