Historical stories about the Yellow Emperor

The leader of the Yellow Emperor's ancient Huaxia tribal alliance and the * * * Lord of the ancient Chinese nation. So what is the historical story of the Yellow Emperor? The following is a historical story about the Yellow Emperor that I shared with you. Welcome to refer to.

Huangdi is the legendary title of the ancient emperor Xuanyuan. According to legend, he had 25 sons with 12 surname, and later Tang, Yu, Xia, Shang, Zhou and Qin Dou were descendants of this 12 surname. Not only the Han people in the Central Plains say so, but also the Huns in the north, the Qiang people in the west and the Miao, Rong, Di and Mao ethnic minorities in the south all claim to be descendants of China. Therefore, the Yellow Emperor is regarded as the ancestor of the Chinese nation. Every nation has its own legendary era. The Yellow Emperor is the representative of heroes in the legendary era of China. People concentrated on him all kinds of advantages and many creations of the ancients. He led the Chinese nation from barbarism to civilization, initiated the splendid culture of the Chinese nation, and was the source of our material civilization and spiritual civilization, so he was regarded as the ancestor of mankind.

In China's historical calendar, the 5,000-year history of Chinese civilization can only be counted from the Xia Dynasty 4,000 years ago, but before the Xia Dynasty? The era of three emperors and five emperors? Because there is no archaeological data of underground cultural relics, we can only rely on legends. Among these legends, the legend of the Yellow Emperor is the most concerned. Later, after being recorded and processed by scholars, it was scattered in some documents in the pre-Qin period. Until Sima Qian wrote the masterpiece of the Western Han Dynasty? These documents have been sorted out in Historical Records, which enables us to understand the deeds of our ancestors more clearly today.

According to the research of historians, the Five Emperors era can be divided into two stages in the records of the legends of the Five Emperors in China. In the early period of the Five Emperors, the Yellow Emperor was the representative, and its main activity area was mostly in the north. When was the Yellow Emperor? Dragons fight in the wild? In the new era, the Yellow Emperor fought Chiyou in the land of Zhuolu. In today's Sanggan River basin in northern Hebei Province, the Huangdi nationality? Where is the impermanence of migration? Huangdi led the troops to crusade against Emperor Yan. Bear, cockroach, cockroach, cockroach, cockroach, tiger? It is generally believed that it is the name of the tribe with the beast as the totem in the Yellow Emperor tribe, so there is the Yellow Emperor? Is there a bear house on the date? 、? Does the Yellow Emperor think there are bears? ("Historical Records? Biography of the Five Emperors) and other records. These records have the color of nomadic and hunting peoples in the north.

However, these legends have been lacking archaeological evidence for many years. In recent years, with the deepening of archaeology in Hongshan Culture, Liaohe River Basin, archaeologists have discovered more than 20 jade slips shaped like Xiong Long. This jade carving Xiong Long is one of the most abundant types of Hongshan culture jade, and it is also the most vivid one of the four main types of Hongshan culture jade (namely horseshoe-shaped jade hoop, hook-shaped Yu Pei, square jade bi and animal-shaped jade with jade carving dragon as the main part).

This jade carving Xiong Long has been unearthed in Niuheliang, Liaoning Province and nearby Jianping County, and also in Aohan Banner, Bahrain Right Banner, Zuo Qi, Bahrain, north of Xilamulun River and Weichang County, Hebei Province, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, covering most of the distribution areas of Hongshan Culture. It can be seen that Xiong Long's jade carving plays an extraordinary role in Hongshan culture jade.

According to archaeological experts' research, Hongshan Culture and its western Liaoning are a part of Northeast China's cultural area, and also the frontier of the intersection of Northeast China's cultural area and Central Plains' cultural area. The economic life of the northeast cultural area is mainly fishing and hunting, and worshipping bears is a unique custom of fishing and hunting nationalities. Hongshan Culture takes bears as the main object of worship, which embodies the regional characteristics of fishing and hunting culture in Northeast China. And this kind of bear worship happens to be the same as that recorded in ancient times? Does the Yellow Emperor think there are bears? The legend of the game.

The confirmation of Xiong Long, a jade carving in Hongshan Culture, and the theory that Xiong Long is the God of the Beast provide important arguments for the recording and textual research of the legend of the Yellow Emperor in ancient history. Xiong Long, a magical jade carving, may be a key to solve the long-term puzzle of the Yellow Emperor and even the Five Emperors. Therefore, according to the archaeological discoveries in these years, people think that the Yellow Emperor may be a real person, a tribal alliance leader in the Central Plains in the patriarchal commune era at the end of primitive society. Through the war, he United the tribes in the Central Plains and did many good deeds, which played an important role in the oral history of the ancients.

Why is it called Huangdi? Yellow? Where's sandy? This is explained in an ancient book: Huainanzi said: The Central Tuye, its emperor Huangdi, assisted Houtu (the god in charge of the earth) and held the rope (Dharma) to make the party? . That is to say, because the Yellow Emperor is the leader of the central government and is in charge of the land, the soil is yellow, so it is named? Huangdi? . There is also a saying that the Yellow Emperor also wrote ancient books? The emperor? What does this mean? Oh, my God? ,? The emperor? what's up The emperor? Adjective, describe? The emperor? Great glory. The yellow emperor was originally? Oh, my god. The meaning of. Some ancient books? Huangdi? Are these two words written? The emperor? , showing the divinity of the Yellow Emperor. Ancient monarchs didn't call themselves emperors until the Zhou Dynasty? Wang? After Qin Shihuang unified China, he thought it was called? Wang? Not enough to start weighing? The emperor? .

According to historical records, his surname is Gongsun, and because he is longer than Ji Shui, he is also named Ji, posthumous title Bear, the son of Shaodian. Before 4856 BC, there was a dragon totem tribe in Xuanyuanqiu, now Beiguan, xinzheng city, Henan Province. The leader of this tribe is Shao Dianshi. He is the 77th direct emperor of Emperor Fuxi and Emperor Nuwa, and his wives are of two kinds: one is Ren Xian (female Deng), and the other is. They are sisters, both married daughters.

One day, Fu Bao saw a huge electric light shining around the Big Dipper, which lit up the whole universe. Suddenly, she felt pregnant. After 25 months of gestation, she gave birth to the Yellow Emperor in Qingqiu (the hill of Xuanyuan), so she was named Xuanyuan. There is another explanation for the reason why the Yellow Emperor is also called Xuanyuan: the Yellow Emperor once invented a chariot war, in which soldiers stood on the chariot; During the armistice break, the chariots were connected in a circle with the commander in the middle, leaving only one vacancy as the entrance to protect the commander. Did the ancients call chariots curtains? Xuan? , called the space between two chariots? Iron? Because the Yellow Emperor was the inventor of this vehicle tactic, later people called him Xuanyuan.

It is said that he was born a few days ago and can talk. He was witty in his youth, honest and capable in his youth, smart, persistent and brilliant in his adulthood. Legend has it that he is a four-sided Huanglong and has defeated countless enemies. Finally, he ascended to heaven in Lapras and Dinghu, sat in the middle of heaven, and became the emperor in the middle of heaven. With a rope in his hand, he is in charge of the square with his god. The other four parties are: Tai Hao in the East, which belongs to God Ju Mang; Zhu Rong, the God of Nanyan Emperor; Shao Hao in the west belongs to the God of Ru Shou; Zhuan Xu in the north belongs to the God of Xuan Ming. In this way, with the establishment of the Yellow Emperor and the Four Emperors, a complete organization chart of the kingdom of God was successfully drawn.

At the same time, hundreds of gods often come to see him, and he often sends them to do things for him. He is in charge of the thunderstorm in the sky. He can make 14 kinds of changes in the sky, so that yin and yang can be born together, shock can be thunder, stirring can be electricity, harmony can be rain, anger can be wind, chaos can be fog, condensation can be frost, dispersion can be dew, gathering can be clouds, and rainbow can be promoted. (See "Celestial Records" in volume 6 of "Tylan"). Therefore, the Yellow Emperor, as a mythical image, is strange and absurd. He has supernatural and superhuman abilities, which is the exaggeration of the creator of myth. The so-called Yellow Emperor travels in all directions, in fact, simply speaking, it pays great attention to the dynamics in all directions, so as to win every battle.

Huangdi lived in a time when tribes and clans lived together, and the class and country had not yet formed. There are different records in the local history books where the tribes of the Yellow Emperor live together. Some people say that the Huangdi clan originated in today's northern Shaanxi, then migrated to the southeast along Beiluoshui, crossed the Yellow River, developed to the northeast, and finally settled in the mountain bend near Zhuolu, Hebei Province today. What is this called in the history books? Wild of Zhuolu? . It is also said that his tribe is in Xinzheng, Henan Province today. Xuanyuanshan? . This shows that it was not completely settled at that time, and tribes often migrated. Huangdi tribes generally live along the Yellow River in Shaanxi, Henan and Hebei today. At this time, the Huangdi tribe has gradually turned from nomadism to agriculture.

The historical significance of the yellow emperor

Is the Yellow Emperor revered? China's ancestors? . Liu Yimou commented that the Yellow Emperor era was the most prosperous era before the flood: from Xiangren era to Tangyu flood era, although there is no exact number of calendar years, it is at least several thousand years. Therefore, if we watch 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. When he sacrificed to farming, he lived a simple life, although there were things like Qin, Gong, Gong and horses. In the era of the Yellow Emperor, the palace, clothes, boats, bows and arrows, documents, pictures, calendars and arithmetic began to be done. So before the flood, the Yellow Emperor was the most prosperous time. ? During the period of the Yellow Emperor and Yan Di, the Chinese people gradually formed, so they were all regarded as the same ancestor of the Chinese nation, so the Chinese people called themselves? China? .
