The ceremony will take place on March 31st(the third day of the third lunar month) at the Yellow Emperor's birthplace in Xinzheng, Zhengzhou, Henan, China.3月18日，乙巳年黄帝故里拜祖大典新闻发布会在郑州召开。乙巳年黄帝故里拜祖大典将于3月31日（农历三月初三）在黄帝故里——中国河南·郑州新郑举行。
The ceremony's theme remains "Same Root, Same Ancestor, Same Origin; Peace, Friendship, Harmony". The main rituals, recognized as national intangible cultural heritage by the State Council, 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.

Notably, the Ancestor Worship Ceremony of the Yellow Emperor in the Year of Yisi will integrate new technologies to enhance the online worship platform for Chinese people around the world. A "Legends of the Yellow Emperor" section has been developed, bringing 26 reliefs on both sides of the corridor to life and vividly narrating the stories of the Yellow Emperor. The worship module will feature 3D modeling, thereby offering an immersive and interactive experience. Additionally, the on-site VR audio experience will be enhanced. This upgrade will improve the guided tour features of the Home of the Yellow Emperor and offer a more premium and immersive experience for Chinese descendants worldwide.

Honoring ancestors and cherishing our roots is the core of the Chinese nation's spiritual heritage and a cherished tradition. "On the third day of the third lunar month, we pay homage to Xuanyuan," a practice dating back to the Spring and Autumn Period and enduring to this day. The annual Ancestor Worship Ceremony of the Yellow Emperor resonates deeply with the hearts of the Chinese people. The "ancestral home" stands prepared, welcoming its descendants to reunite and partake in this "soulful gathering".
慎终追远，恭拜先祖，是中华民族精神信仰的主脉，是中华民族的优良传统。“三月三，拜轩辕”，肇始春秋，绵延至今。一年一度的黄帝故里拜祖大典，牵动着中华儿女的悠悠情丝。“老家”准备就绪，静待亲人归乡，共赴“心灵之约”。
