What are the prominent positions of Yan Di and Huangdi in history? Why?

Yan Di, the leader of ancient Jiang tribe in China, was honored as Shennong, Kuikui, Lianshan and Lieshan, nicknamed Zhu Xiang (it is still controversial, it is said that three generations of leaders of Zhu Xiang tribe were honored as Yan Di).

Legend has it that the leader of the tribe named Jiang got the throne because he knew how to use fire, so he was called Emperor Yan. Since Shennong, there have been nine generations of Yan emperors in the Jiang family. Shennong gave birth to Emperor Kui, and Emperor Kui gave birth to Emperor Kui. Ming Di gave birth to Emperor Zhi, Emperor Zhi gave birth to Emperor Mao, and Emperor Mao gave birth to Emperor Ai, and Emperor Ai gave birth to Emperor Ke and Emperor Ke, which lasted for 530 years.

Yan Di lived in the Neolithic Age. At present, there are six disputes about Yan Di's hometown: Baoji in Shaanxi, Lianshan in Huitong, Hunan, Yanling in Zhuzhou, Suizhou in Hubei, Gaoping in Shanxi and zhecheng county in Henan. The range of activities of Yan Di tribe is Jiang Shui in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River (now Qingjiang in Weibin District of Baoji City, now Qishan County of Baoji City). ) Tribes began to prosper in this area. At first, their capital was Chen Di, and later they moved to Qufu.

According to legend, Emperor Yan is a cow. He personally tasted one hundred kinds of herbs and developed them to treat diseases. He invented slash-and-burn cultivation and created two kinds of agricultural tools to teach people to reclaim land and grow food crops; He also led the tribal people to make pottery and cookers for food.

Legend has it that Yan Di Tribe later formed an alliance with Huangdi Tribe and defeated Chiyou together.

China people (not only Han people) call themselves descendants of the Yellow Emperor, and regard Yan Di and Huangdi as the earliest ancestors of the Chinese people's humanities, which has become the spiritual driving force for the unity and struggle of the Chinese nation.

Emperor Yan is revered by Taoism as Shennong Emperor, also known as Wuyi Shennong Emperor.

The Yellow Emperor is honored as the "ancestor of China". Liu Yimou commented that the era of the Yellow Emperor was the most prosperous before the flood: "From the era when people felt ashamed to the era of the Tang Dynasty and the flood, although there is no exact year, it has at least several thousand years. Therefore, if we look at its production together, we will be surprised by the number of ancient saints; According to its period, we can see the ugliness of early people. Although there were things like a harp, a gong, a gong and a horse during sacrifice and farming, his life was very simple. In the era of the Yellow Emperor, all saints flourished, and palaces, clothes, boats, bows and arrows, documents, pictures, calendars and arithmetic began to be used by people. Therefore, before the flood, the Yellow Emperor was the most prosperous era. " During the period of the Yellow Emperor and Yan Di, the Huaxia nationality was gradually formed, so they were all regarded as the common ancestor of the Chinese nation, so China people called themselves "descendants of the Yellow Emperor". Every year, the Huangdi Mausoleum in Shaanxi has a ritual activity, and Xinzheng in Henan has a ritual activity.

The Yellow Emperor was in power for a long time, with strong national strength, political stability and cultural progress. There are many inventions and products, such as words, music, calendars, palaces, boats, clothes and compasses.

According to legend, Yao, Shun, Yu, Bo Yi and Tang Dou are his descendants, so the Yellow Emperor is regarded as the common ancestor of the Chinese nation.

According to China's historical records, he unified the tribes in China after Emperor Yan.

He calculated the calendar; Teach people to sow food; Xing zi; Make branches, make musical instruments and create medicine.

Auspicious time: The emperor took Da-yun as Jiazi, and the ten heavenly stems and twelve earthly branches as the auspicious time of the lunar calendar (Jiazi, Ebou, Guihai, a total of 60 years as a cycle), that is, the 60th anniversary of Taoism.

Huangdi established an ancient system;

Huangdi made many inventions in agricultural production, among which farmland system was the main invention.
