Is the Yellow Emperor a historical figure or a legendary figure? If it is a legendary figure, how can there be a mausoleum?

Huangdi, the ancestor of the Chinese nation. According to records, Xuanyuan, Xiongshi and Jixing, when it comes to Gongsun, are all descendants of Shaodian, a bear. Huangdi's mother's name is Fu Bao. Ji is a tribal leader, the legendary co-owner of the ancient Chinese nation and the head of the five emperors. The Yellow Emperor is also honored as the ancestor of Taoism, and has a special position in Taoism. Historical information about the Yellow Emperor is very scarce, and it is more credible that there was a man in history. The son of Shaodian, surnamed Gongsun and named Xuanyuan, lives in Xuanyuan Mountain.

The birthplace of Huangdi

Records of the Five Emperors in Historical Records records: "Huangdi is the son of Shaodian, surnamed Gongsun, named Xuanyuan, and Huangdi lives in Xuanyuan Mountain" [see Xuanyuan Mountain for details]. China Ancient Capital Society (a non-governmental organization that confirmed the seven ancient capitals of China) believes that Xuanyuan Mountain is located in Xuanyuan Mountain in xinzheng city, Henan Province today, but this view has not been generally recognized by the academic circles. In ancient times, it was the capital of the bear country, and its father was the monarch of the bear country.

Legend 1. On the second day of the second lunar month, the Yellow Emperor was born in the Longjiang Gorge, Juyuanguan, on the loess plateau in northwest China. According to legend, the mother of the Yellow Emperor was a girl on the Loess Plateau. One evening (or night), she suddenly saw the Northern Lights, and then she got pregnant and gave birth to the Yellow Emperor.

Legend 2. Before 4856 BC, there was a dragon totem country in Xuanyuanqiu, Xinzheng, Henan Province. This monarch is called Shaodian. He was the 77th emperor in the direct line of Emperor Fuxi and Emperor Nuwa. His wife has two wives, one is Ren Xian (female Deng) and the other is Deng. They are sisters and daughters of the Xi family. In today's palace in Xuanyuanqiu, Beiguan, xinzheng city, when the baby breathed the natural gas at birth, he gave a cry of "Wow".

According to China's historical records, he unified the tribes in China after Emperor Yan. There are two versions of its capital in Xinzheng and Zhuolu. He calculated the calendar; Teach people to sow food; Xing zi; Make branches, make musical instruments and create medicine. Auspicious time: The emperor took Da-yun as Jiazi, and the ten heavenly stems and twelve earthly branches as the auspicious time of the lunar calendar (Jiazi, Ebou, Guihai, a total of 60 years as a cycle), that is, the 60th anniversary of Taoism.

Today, there are tombs of the Yellow Emperor in Qiao Shan, Shaanxi and Lingbao, Henan. According to legend, when the Yellow Emperor was old, he cast a tripod and Lapras ascended to heaven. The courtiers fired arrows to stop him, and the dragon was shot. When he flew over the bridge country, he dropped a boot and was buried here.

The Yellow Emperor and Yandi are considered as the ancestors of the Chinese nation, so China people sometimes call themselves "descendants of the Yellow Emperor".

Legend has it that the first princess of the Yellow Emperor was Lei Zu, and the second princess belonged to Lei Fang, Tong Yu and Mo Mu.

According to Records of the Historian, "There are twenty-five sons of the Yellow Emperor, and fourteen people have their surnames." The monarchs of Zhuan Xu, Di Ku, Tang Yao, Yu Shun and Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties are all descendants of the Yellow Emperor.

Later generations gradually deified the Yellow Emperor. In Zhuangzi, it is mentioned that the Yellow Emperor attained enlightenment and became immortal. The Yellow Emperor in Biography of Immortals can also exorcise immortals.

Legend about the Yellow Emperor: It is said that he can speak after being born for dozens of days. He was quick-witted as a teenager, honest and capable as a youth, and smart and decisive as an adult. When the People's Republic of China was founded (Xinzheng, Henan Province), there was a bear, also called the Bear Family. When Chiyou was tyrannical, he annexed the princes. At that time, Emperor Yan, the co-owner of the world who invented farming and medicine, had declined. The chiefs attacked each other and the war was endless. Life is ruined. Emperor Yan had no choice but to ask the Yellow Emperor for help. The Yellow Emperor resolutely assumed the responsibility of stabilizing the world. The Yellow Emperor and Chiyou fought in Zhuolu, and the soldiers of both sides fought bravely. With the help of generals Hou Feng and Li Mu, the Yellow Emperor finally caught Chiyou and punished him. His ministers respected him as the son of heaven and replaced Yan Di as the co-owner of the world. Because of its virtue, it is called the Yellow Emperor.

Soon, there was another riot in the world. The Yellow Emperor knew that Chiyou's prestige was still there, so he drew a portrait of Chiyou and hung it everywhere. People all over the world thought that Chiyou was not dead, but was surrendered by the Yellow Emperor, so more tribes came to join them. Later, Chiyou was honored as the God of War.

Although Emperor Yan was defeated by Chiyou, his strength still exists. He was dissatisfied with the fact that the Yellow Emperor became the co-owner of the world, tried to regain his lost position, and finally rose up and resisted. Yandi and Huangdi clashed, and the decisive battle was held in the wild of cold spring. After three fierce battles, the Yellow Emperor won. From then on, the position of the Yellow Emperor as the co-owner of the world was finally established, and he ruled the world. All disobedient tribes were proclaimed emperors.

The Yellow Emperor was in power for a long time, with strong national strength, political stability and cultural progress. There are many inventions and products, such as words, music, calendars, palaces, boats, clothes and compasses. According to legend, Yao, Shun, Yu and Tang Dou are his descendants, so the Yellow Emperor is regarded as the common ancestor of the Chinese nation.

The Yellow Emperor has four concubines and ten concubines. Zheng Fei, Lei Zu of Xiling, was known as the "First Silkworm", who planted mulberry and raised silkworms in person and taught people to spin. The second princess is Fang, a famous woman's day. Once again, the princess took Tong Yu as her surname. The last princess, Mo Mu, was ugly but virtuous, so she was deeply respected by the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor has twenty-five sons, fourteen of whom have surnames. These fourteen people got twelve surnames, namely: Ji, You, Qi, Ji, Teng, Xiang (the grass is salty under the head, pronounced as "true"), Ren, Xun, Nuo, Yi (pronounced as "Xuan") and Yi.
