Do Yan Di and the Yellow Emperor really exist in history?

1. There really was the Yellow Emperor in history. The descendants of the Yellow Emperor refer to the descendants of the Chinese nation. We are all descendants of Huangyan, that is, descendants of Yan Di and Huangdi.

The descendants of the Chinese people are self-proclaimed by China people. "Yan" refers to Emperor Yan, with Jiang Shuicheng (now Baoji City). "Yellow" refers to the Yellow Emperor, which is made of Jishui (now Wugong Qishui River in Shaanxi Province). Emperor Yanhuang was the ancestor of China.

Legend has it that they came from the same tribe and later became the leaders of two rival tribes. Two tribes started the battle of Hanquan, and the Yellow Emperor defeated Yan Di. The two tribes gradually merged into Huaxia, which was called Han after Han and Tang after Tang. Yan Di and the Yellow Emperor are also the ancestors of China's culture and technology. It is said that they and their courtiers and descendants created almost all the important inventions in ancient times.
