Information about Huangdi, the East Emperor Xuanyuan

The Yellow Emperor, the second son of Xiong Shaodian, was named Gongsun Xuanyuan. Some people say their surname is Ji. Born in Xuanyuanqiu, xinzheng city City, Henan Province, in today's Henan Province, with Xinzheng as the center, Xinmi, Xingyang, Dengfeng, Yuzhou and other places have established Xiong Guo. There is also a saying that he was born in Tianshui, and historical records say that he was born in Shouqiu. Now expert research shows that Shouqiu should be ruled out first. There is no clear annotation in the original Historical Records, which was imposed by Kong Anguo. Kong Anguo, a native of Han Dynasty, was the grandson of Confucius 17. At that time, everyone admired Confucius, and Kong Anguo annotated the historical records and pretended to be the original! Of course, there are many correct ones, but "the Yellow Emperor lives in Xuanyuan Mountain." The annotation points out that "being born in Shouqiu" is a big mistake outside the East Gate of Shandong Province (about 60 miles northeast of Qufu County in Shandong Province today)! It has long puzzled future generations. Later, in some unearthed cultural relics, it was also verified that this annotation was wrong! Because there was no early civilization in Shouqiu at that time, other books, such as Emperor Century, Notes on Shuijing, Mandarin and Local Records, were all named after Xuanyuan Mountain, which is Xinzheng! The palace was built in Yunyan Palace, xinmi city City, Henan Province, and Shizu Mountain [also called Juci Mountain] between Xinzheng and Yuzhou is also a frequent place for its activities. It was buried in Qiaoshan Mountain in huangling county, Shaanxi Province and lingbao city, Henan Province. His mother is the daughter of Jiao Jia, whose surname is Bao. According to legend, she closed her eyes and saw the huge lightning in the Big Dipper around Shu Tian, illuminating the countryside. Fu Bao was pregnant and gave birth to the Yellow Emperor. Huangdi ascended the throne at the age of 37, with a life span of 1 10 years. According to the Five Emperors, the wife of the Yellow Emperor is Lei Zu, the daughter of Xiling, who gave birth to Changyi and Xuantao. The second wife is Lei Fang's daughter, named Nu Wa, who gave birth to Qingyang. The third lady is the daughter of Tong Yu's family and gave birth to a swing and a drum. Mo Mu, the fourth wife, gave birth to Cang Lin and Yang Yu. The Yellow Emperor had 25 sons, and only 14 daughters got surnames. The Yellow Emperor did not let his son inherit the throne, but let the son of Changyi, Levin (Zhuan Xu), inherit the throne. After Zhuan Xu's death, Gao Xinli, Xuantao's grandson, did it for Di Ku. After Di Ku's death, his younger brother Li Xun was named Emperor Yao. Later, he abdicated to (Zhonghua) and Yu. Xiu De, the Yellow Emperor, called his troops and taught bears, donkeys, raccoons, tapirs, tigers and Yan Di to fight in Hanquan, where they competed with each other. After World War III, he won. Chiyou made an insurrection and disobeyed the emperor's orders. The Yellow Emperor was defeated by Chiyou in nine wars and nine victories, and he led his troops to retreat to Yunyan Palace in xinmi city, Henan Province, where he built a palace and studied training methods. Taking Hou Feng, Li Mu, Chang Xian and Da Hong as the phase, he developed eight arrays of the art of war with Hou Feng. Then, the Yellow Emperor became a vassal, defeated Chiyou in Zhuolu, Hebei Province, and unified the Central Plains. During the period of the Yellow Emperor, there were many inventions. Sow a hundred plants and domesticate livestock and poultry. Build a compass to tell the direction. In order to avoid flooding, the wood was cut into boats. Cut down trees to build rooms and then build palaces. His wife, Christian Lei Zu, grows mulberry and sericulture and spins silk into clothes. Heavenly stems and earthly branches was established to calculate the year, month and day, and it was later called "Yellow Emperor Calendar", commonly known as "Yellow Calendar". Rongcheng made an armillary sphere to observe the celestial phenomena. Cang Xie created hieroglyphics. Linglun playing method, Rong ape casting bell five tones. Explore doctors with Qi Bo and Lei Gong, and order Yu Yu, Qi Bo and Lei Gong to visit Tang Ming and check the pulse; Wu Peng and Scouts prescribed prescriptions to prevent and treat diseases, which was later passed down as Huangdi Neijing. The descendants of the Yellow Emperor and Yan Emperor multiplied, and gradually formed a Chinese nation with China as the main body and multi-ethnic integration. Therefore, later generations called the Yellow Emperor the ancestor of the Chinese nation, and attributed the establishment of all cultural systems to the Yellow Emperor, calling him the "early ancestor of mankind" of China.

"Mandarin Today" says: "Yan Di is made of ginger and water". There are similar records in "The Emperor's Century" and other documents. Jiang Shui's view on land is based on "Water Mirror on the Wei River": "Qishui is the east, and the south of the river is Jiang Shui." Therefore, the main activity area of clan tribes in Yan Di should be the Weishui River Basin. According to Records of the Five Emperors, Huangfu Mi said, "The Yellow Emperor has a national bear." That is, the Yellow Emperor is the bear monarch. There is a bear, which is generally believed to belong to Xinzheng, Henan. Xinzheng is located in the center of the Central Plains, and the Huangdi tribe should take the Central Plains as its main activity area. It can be seen that the main active areas during the Yanhuang period were the Weishui River Basin and the Central Plains. In this area, the earliest ploughing agriculture discovered by field archaeology is Peiligang culture, magnetic mountain culture culture and Laoguantai culture about seven or eight thousand years ago. According to the current archaeological data, the early site of Longshan culture in Henan, Xiangfen Taosi, Shanxi Province, can clearly reflect a certain ritual system from nearly a thousand tombs that have been excavated. At this time, it seems that the ritual system has not yet begun to appear, and it should be pushed to the late Yangshao culture. Many archaeologists and historians believe that the age of Taosi site belongs to the legendary Yao period. Yao was before the Yellow Emperor period, which was equivalent to the late Yangshao culture in archaeology, about 5000 years ago. In this way, the Yanhuang period lasted from about 7000 or 8000 years ago to about 5000 years ago, and lasted about 1500 to 3000 years.

The two clans and tribes of Yanhuang, that is, Huaxia Group in ancient legend. They have been operating, multiplying, inventing and creating in the Weihe River Basin and the Central Plains for a long time, and these achievements will inevitably have an impact on its surrounding areas. Records of Five Emperors: "The west reaches Kongtong (now zhenyuan county, Gansu Province), the north reaches Zhuolu (now Huailai County or Zhuolu County, Hebei Province), the east reaches the sea, the south reaches Fujiang (the Yangtze River) and Huaihe River (the Huaihe River), and the elders often call it Huangdi and Yaoshun, which is called the land of wind education. Therefore, Mr. Xu said that because of the high prestige of Huangdi and Yaoshun, people all over the world are willing to regard them as fellow villagers, which also reflects that the activities of Huangdi clan tribes are centered on the Central Plains and expanded in all directions.

There are different opinions about which clan and tribe Emperor Yan belongs to. Mr. Xu thinks it belongs to Huaxia Group, and both Mr. Xu and Mr. Meng think it belongs to South Group. More precisely, Mr Meng belongs to Jianghan ethnic group (Miao people) in the south. "Shan Hai Jing Hai Nei Jing" said: "The wife of Emperor Yan, the son of Chishui, was born with inflammation, and she had a festival and a drama. Opera was born in Zhu Rong, who fell into the river and worked together to make musical instruments. The first side of the instrument was overturned to restore the soil and place the river. Workers are born in the afterlife, and the afterlife is born in the afterlife. Two people were born at the age of ten. " Regarding the lineage of Emperor Yan, The Classic of Mountains and Seas conforms to the law of writing and offering sacrifices to oneself in Zuo Zhuan, saying that an ordinary man gave birth to the afterlife. The difference is that Li Ji Xidi in the Great Generation and Chu Shi A in Historical Records all say that Zhu Rong came from the emperor Zhuan Xu. In any case, there is no doubt that Zhu Rong is related to Miaoman Group in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. As for Zhu Rong's lineage, the legend that he belongs to a branch of Emperor Yan appeared earlier and is more likely. If this speculation is correct, then Zhu Rong became the leader of the southern clan tribe after he arrived in the south, and his descendants are still the successors of his leader status. Zhu Rong "can be said to be a symbol of the Southern Group". Zhu Rong's ancestor was Emperor Yan, with a high reputation and great influence. It is entirely possible to regard Emperor Yan as the humanistic ancestor of the Southern Group.

Some experts speculate that Emperor Yan is the orthodox leader of the Dongyi people, and Chiyou may be a "rebel" against the rule of Emperor Yan. In this case, Emperor Yan had to choose to unite one of the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou against the other. Probably due to the orthodoxy of Emperor Yan, the Yellow Emperor was finally persuaded to form an alliance with Emperor Yan to jointly fight against Chiyou, and then the second recorded war, the Battle of Zhuolu, finally started in today's Zhuolu, Hebei.

As a result of the battle of Zhuolu, the Yellow Emperor and Yan Di defeated Chiyou together.

Another result of this war was that the Xirong tribe of the Yellow Emperor and the Dongyi tribe of the Yan Emperor began to merge into one tribe, and they occupied the Central Plains, which is the border area of Henan, Hebei, Shandong and Shanxi provinces in China today. This is an early Chinese nation, which is only distributed in the Yellow River valley at this time. Chinese people also take the titles of Huangdi and Yan Di as their names, so Chinese people think they are descendants of Huangdi. This is the first great integration of China and Xia.

Xuanyuan Huangdi clan has been in charge of state affairs for about 460 years, and experienced the era of Xuanyuan Huangdi surnamed Ji. Yoshioka's surname is Lingbao, with the era of Xiong Huangdi; Ghost unitary surname Xinzheng Jinyun Di Hong Huangdi era; Yoshioka's surname is Lingbao, with the era of Xiong Huangdi; Miracle's surname is Xuangang, and the era of Xuandi in Fenjin and Huangdi created Yangshao culture in Hongshan Culture and Dahe Village, which was a battle era to unify the four sides by conquering.

There were bears in Xuanyuan country, and the land was in Xuanyuan Mountain. Before that, Xuanyuan was just a local government, not a unified central country.
