We now call ourselves "descendants of the Yellow Emperor". Is there really a Yellow Emperor Yan Di in history?

Yan Di and the Yellow Emperor are just a legend. Emperor Yan was honored by Taoism as Shennong, also known as Wudao Shennong.

Legend has it that Emperor Yan is a tauren. He personally tried 100 kinds of herbs and invented the method of treating diseases with herbs. Later, he invented the slash-and-burn farming method, created two tools for turning the soil, and then taught people to reclaim wasteland and grow some food crops; He also led the tribal people to make pottery and cookers for food.

In fact, Emperor Yan was the leader of the ancient tribe named Jiang. His name is Shennong, also known as Kuikun, Lianshan and Lieshan, nicknamed Zhu Xiang. These are still controversial, and it is also said that there are three generations of leaders of Zhu Xiang tribe who are honored as Emperor Yan. He became Emperor Yan because he knew how to use fire and got the throne, so he was called Emperor Yan. Starting from Shennong, this tribe has nine Yan emperors. According to records, "Shennong gave birth to Emperor Kui, and Emperor Kui became emperor, and Ming gave birth to Emperor Zhi, and Taizu gave birth to Taizu, mourning for Emperor Ke and being born." It has been passed on to the throne for 530 years. Later, it is said that Yan Di tribe and Huangdi tribe formed an alliance and defeated Chiyou together.

The Yellow Emperor was the leader of the ancient tribal alliance in China, the co-owner of the ancient Chinese nation in China and the head of the five emperors. According to legend, the Yellow Emperor was the god in charge of thunder and lightning at first, and later developed himself and became the boss of the divine world. Because he has four faces, he can take into account the four directions of east, west, north and south. Defeated the emperor of heaven in four directions and established a kingdom of heaven with itself as the core.

In China, the Yellow Emperor is regarded as "the ancestor of mankind". It is said that his original surname was Gongsun, and later he changed his surname to Ji, also known as Ji Xuanyuan. I live in the hill of Xuanyuan, named Xuanyuan, and there are bears in the capital, also known as Xiongshi.
