The story about the Yellow Emperor Yan Di and Yao Shunyu is very short. Please pay attention to it, but it can be made clear.

To put it simply, the Yellow Emperor was the first tribal leader in ancient China, that is, the Huaxia tribe (basically active in the early Yellow River basin), also known as the Youxiong.

Then came Emperor Yan, the leader of this tribe called Jiang, also known as Shennong.

We are now called descendants of the Chinese people because of these two people.

Only information about the descendants of the Chinese people.

descendants of the Yan and Huang Emperors

According to legend, in ancient times, many scattered people lived in the Yellow River valley in China. They formed clans according to their blood relationship, and many clans United to form tribes. Huangdi and Yan Di are the leaders of two big tribes.

At that time, people's ability to resist natural disasters was very low, and they had to move in case of floods and droughts. Once, when the Yan Di tribe moved, they came to the place occupied by the Yellow Emperor tribe. They saw the good conditions there and decided to stay for a long time.

However, the people of Huangdi tribe are unwilling. As a result, the two sides fought and refused to give way to each other. After three battles, the Yan Di tribe was defeated. Yan Di surrendered to the Yellow Emperor, expressing his willingness to obey his orders. The Yellow Emperor agreed to the request of the Yan Di tribe to stay.

The wife of the Yellow Emperor personally taught the people of Yan Di tribe to raise silkworms and reeling silk, and the Yellow Emperor taught them the skills of making cars and ships. Yan Di also gave him a wooden plow and herbs. They get along well.

Later, they joined forces to form the Yanhuang Tribal Alliance, and the Yellow Emperor became the leader of this alliance. The history of the Chinese nation began. Therefore, China people regard the Yellow Emperor as the ancestor of the Chinese nation and call themselves "descendants of the Chinese people".

Huangdi Mausoleum is located on a hill of pines and cypresses in huangling county, Shaanxi Province, China. Now, every year in Tomb-Sweeping Day, many Chinese people at home and abroad go there to worship their ancestors.
