Who is the ancestor of our Chinese nation?

That is the Yellow Emperor tribe and Yan Di tribe.

Emperor Yanhuang was the ancestor of China. Legend has it that they came from the same tribe and later became the leaders of two rival tribes. The two tribes launched the battle of Han Shangquan. The Yellow Emperor defeated Yan Di. The two tribes gradually merged into Huaxia nationality, which was called Han nationality after the Han Dynasty and Tang people after the Tang Dynasty.

Yan Di and the Yellow Emperor are also the ancestors of China's culture and technology. It is said that Emperor Yanhuang and his courtiers created almost all important inventions in ancient times. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Yellow Emperor and Yan Di gradually merged with the eastern tribes and some southern tribes to form China people, who were called the Han nationality after the Han Dynasty.

At that time, among all ethnic groups and tribes in the Central Plains, the Huangdi clan was a representative of the Central Plains culture because of its strong strength and high culture. Yan Di and Huangdi became the ancestors of the Han nationality. Also known as the ancestor of the Chinese nation. Therefore, people often refer to the Chinese nation as "descendants of the Chinese people" or "descendants of the Chinese people". Chinese descendants have become synonymous with the Chinese nation.
