Who is Emperor Yanhuang and what is their relationship?

brief introduction

Huang Yandi: Yan Di and Huangdi, who are outstanding leaders of two different tribes in primitive society of China. It is also the ancestor of China culture.

"Mandarin": "In the past, the young Dian family married the Yougao family and gave birth to the Yellow Emperor and Yan Di. The Yellow Emperor was made of water, and the Yan Emperor was made of Jiang Shui. Success is different from virtue, so the Yellow Emperor is the discipline and the Yan Emperor is the ginger. " Interpretation of Putonghua: Shaodian is the ancestor of Huangdi and Yan Di, not Huangdi and Yan Di. Historical Records: "At the time of Xuanyuan, Shennong declined". Interpretation: "Chi Di was born after Emperor Shen Yannong". Red, the unification of Emperor Yan, from Shennong to Xuanyuan, from Emperor Yan to now has been 500 years. Yan Di in the Yellow Emperor is really the last generation of Yan Di. Shennong and Shaodian are the first of the Chinese people. Yi zhuan: "Bao Jia didn't write it, Shen Nong Jia wrote it", "Shen Nong Jia didn't write it, Huang Shun Jia wrote it." The two tribes, Yan and Huang, jointly formed the Chinese nation headed by the Yellow Emperor, which laid the foundation of Chinese civilization.

Yan Di

Yan Di is the legendary name of the ancient Shennong tribe leader in China. From Shennong to his descendants, Yan Di is also the world leader elected by various tribal alliances. Because of the virtue of fire, it is called Yan Di.

The last leader of Shennong tribe, surnamed Jiang, was born in Lieshan (now Lieshan in Suixian County, Hubei Province) more than 3,000 years ago. Later, two tribes, Yan Di and Huangdi, merged to form the Chinese nation. Sun, the father of Lei Zu, the wife of the Yellow Emperor, is the eleventh grandson of Shennong (named as the Hou of Liuhe Fangshan, which is now Liuhe Fangshan in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, renamed after the mountain).

Yellow Emperor

The Yellow Emperor is the first of the five emperors in Historical Records, and is a mythical figure in ancient China. Many emperors in China built temples to worship the mausoleum for the Yellow Emperor in order to gain the legitimacy of symbolic rule. He is an important symbol of China culture and is called the ancestor of the Chinese nation. According to the documentary evidence, some scholars believe that the intellectuals who started in the late Qing Dynasty stood out from Huang San and the Five Emperors in the legendary era of China and became the ancestors of the Han nationality and even the Chinese nation.

Emperor Yan and Huangdi were in-laws, after Shennong. According to the report, "Shaodian married Yougao and gave birth to Huangdi and Yan Di. The Yellow Emperor was made of water, and Yan Di was made of Jiang Shui. Yan Di tribes developed in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. At that time, at the junction of Shaanxi and Henan today, there lived the Jiuli nationality headed by Chiyou (an independent Miao nationality). The two sides had a long-term conflict over tribal development, and Yan Di was defeated.

It is said that "Emperor Yan wanted to invade the princes", and then he had three fierce battles with Xuanyuan Huangdi, whose surname was Ji. This is the first large-scale war recorded in the history of China, and it is called Sakamoto War. Facing the commander-in-chief, bear, tiger, raccoon, Tiger is a powerful rival of totem tribe, but Emperor Yan finally lost, allied with it and surrendered to it, and the Yellow Emperor became the son of heaven on behalf of Emperor Yan.

With the continuous expansion of the Yanhuang Alliance, more and more tribes surrendered to it, but Chiyou refused to accept it all the time, and both sides died together. Chiyou led Jiu Li to fight against the alliance in Zhuolu (now Zhuolu Village, Hebei Province), which was the second war in the legendary era and was called the Battle of Zhuolu. Finally, Chiyou was defeated. Since then, the surname Jiang and the Yellow Emperor have settled in the Central Plains. The word "descendants of the Yellow Emperor" is the trace and reverence of China literati to the ancestors of Chinese civilization, Emperor Yan and Huangdi.

According to legend, Yandi's surname is Jiang, which may indicate that he used to eat sheep as his main meat (it is said that he was born in), and he still relied on the tradition of matriarchal society, and sheep and women became one (in addition, Ji, Yi, Yao and Ying also had this feature). Emperor Yan is one of the founders of Chinese humanity. "Emperor Century" says:' Shennong's surname is Jiang, her mother is Renyi, and she has a tall daughter and a famous daughter. As a young woman, I swam in Huayang, having a leading role and feeling like Emperor Yan. As an ox head, he is longer than Jiang Shui. With virtue, fire wins the king, so it is called Emperor Yan. My name was Chen, and I was a disciple of Lu. Also known as Kuikun, Lianshan and Lieshan. "As you can see, the Yan Di tribe regards cattle as a totem worship.

According to "Shan Hai Jing Hai Nei Jing", "Yan Di's wife, son of Chishui, heard Yan Jusheng Yanju, Yan Jusheng festival, festival opera, opera Zhu Rong. Zhu Rong fell into the river and gave birth to * * *. * * * industrial surgical instruments, surgical instruments are born with potholes, which is to restore soil to rivers. * * * Workers will snore in the afterlife. Two people were born at the age of ten. " Emperor Yan is the god of agriculture. He began to teach the world to sow and taste whole grains. This is the origin of Emperor Yan and Shennong. Emperor Yan is also a Vulcan and a Kitchen God. He first taught people to make a fire with friction, eat hot food and cast metal utensils with fire. So the descendants of Emperor Yan became Vulcan just like Zhu Rong.

According to Shan Hai Jing Bei Shan Jing, Jingwei bird with white mouth and barefoot was changed by Yan Di's youngest daughter, Nu Wa. According to The History of Keith, Chiyou is also a descendant of Emperor Yan. He expelled Emperor Yan and his descendant Wan Yu and fought against the Yellow Emperor in Zhuolu. Xingtian, a giant with an immortal image of God of War, is a subordinate of Emperor Yan.
