Abstract: Constructing China's independent Yanhuang Studies knowledge system is based on the practical and strategic needs of the country and the nation, and it is a research and application of traditional Chinese culture. Building China's independent Yanhuang Studies knowledge system plays a crucial role in enhancing national cohesion and improving the country's cultural soft power. Its essential characteristics are reflected in cultural subjectivity, the inheritance of the times, and cultural innovation. The generative motivations include the needs of cultural inheritance and innovation, the requirement for enhancing national soft power, and the internal demands of academic development. The practical paths should be based on the development of local cultural resources, promote theoretical construction and academic innovation, strengthen academic exchanges and talent cultivation, and utilize modern communication means to promote Yanhuang culture.
