Was there an earlier dynasty before the Yellow Emperor?

No, Yanhuang was the earliest dynasty. Yanhuang: 2697 BC-2599 BC.

In a large number of myths and legends, the person with the strongest ability and the most inventions is the Yellow Emperor. Legend has it that he invented cars, boats, pots, mirrors and crossbows. There is also a saying that the Yellow Emperor asked Cangjie to create characters, Linglun made music rules, made Jiazi, and Qi Bo wrote medical books.

It is said that the Huangdi and Yan Di nationalities first lived in Shaanxi. The Huangdi family finally settled near Zhuolu, Hebei. Emperor Yan finally arrived in Shandong today. Chiyou is the leader of Jiuli nationality. Jiuli people live mainly in Shandong, Henan and Anhui today. According to legend, Yan Di and Jiuli fought a war for a fertile land in the Yellow River valley. The Yan Di tribe was defeated and turned to the Huangdi tribe for help. Huang heyan merged.

According to the above myths and legends, we can see that the Yellow Emperor, Yan Di and Jiuli tribes were gradually ruled by the Yellow Emperor, who became the common ancestor of our multi-ethnic country. Later, all ethnic groups thought they were descendants of the Yellow Emperor and were called "descendants of the Yellow Emperor".
