Known as the "ancestor of humanity" in China. According to legend, Shaodian and his son, whose real name was Gongsun, later changed their surname to Ji, so they were called Ji Xuanyuan. I live in the hill of Xuanyuan, named Xuanyuan, and all of them have bears, also known as Xiongshi. Others call it "Di Hong's disease". ?

History shows that Huangdi was named Huangdi because of its virtue. The great achievements of the Yellow Emperor in unifying Chinese tribes and conquering Dongyi and Jiuli nationalities have gone down in history. During the reign of the Yellow Emperor, he planted hundreds of crops and plants, vigorously developed production, and began to make clothes, build ships and cars, make music and create medicines.

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.

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.

The Yellow Emperor established an ancient national system: dividing the border, eight households as one well, three wells as one neighbor, three neighbors as one friend, three friends as one mile, five miles as one city, ten cities as the capital, ten divisions as one division and ten divisions as states. The whole country is divided into Kyushu; There are 120 official posts in managing the country, including three public posts, three junior posts, four auxiliary posts, four histories, six phases and nine virtues (official names). Six prohibitions are put forward for officials at all levels, and "heavy" means excessive, that is, "heavy sound, heavy color, heavy clothes, heavy fragrance, heavy taste and heavy room", which requires officials to be simple and simple and oppose extravagance and waste. It puts forward that "Xiu De inspires soldiers", applies virtue to the world, cooperates with Xiu De, is kind to others and cultivates morality and justice. In particular, the "Minister of Nine Virtues" was set up to educate the people in nine ways, namely, to serve as judges and prison officials, to sentence those who committed serious crimes to losses and to sentence those who committed serious crimes to beheading.

Huaxia formation

Huaxia is the collective name of tribes in the Central Plains of ancient China and its eastern region, namely "Zhu Hua" and "Zhu Xia". According to the research of some historians, during the Yanhuang period, the ancient tribes around the Central Plains can be divided into Yanhuang Group, Dongyi Group and Miaoman Group. After Yanhuang Group defeated Chiyou in the battle of Zhuolu, Miaoman Group retreated to the south, while Yanhuang Group moved eastward and merged with Dongyi Group, forming the original Huaxia tribal alliance, which was basically assimilated with the southern Miaoman Group in the Spring and Autumn Period and became the three main sources of so-called "China people" in Qin and Han Dynasties.

Huaxia nationality is dominated by the alliance between Yanhuang nationality and Dongyi tribe. Yanhuang tribe originally lived in Shaanxi, and gradually moved eastward after integration. Huangdi clan went south along Beiluoshui, crossed the Yellow River to the east, and developed to the northeast along Zhongtiao Mountain and Taihang Mountain. Many Huangdi clans were formed along the Yellow River in southern Shanxi. Some ethnic groups in Yan Di also developed eastward along the Weihe River and the south bank of the Yellow River, forming more ethnic groups in Yan Di. In the process of eastward advancement, they merged with the Dongyi Tribal Alliance and expanded their power.

The Battle of Hanquan was a battle between Huangdi and Yan Di for the leader of the Chinese tribal alliance. Yan Di was defeated and merged with the Yellow Emperor, and the power of Yanhuang grew stronger and stronger. Later, in the battle of Zhuolu, the Yellow Emperor defeated Chiyou, the leader of the Jiuli nationality of Miaoman Group, and his influence expanded to today's Shandong Province, blending with Dongyi Group, which was originally in Shandong Province. The ancient Great Huaxia Tribal Alliance was finally formed, and China entered the Huaxia era. It is reported that Zai Yu, Xia, Shang and Zhou are all descendants of the Yellow Emperor. After thousands of years of historical development, China's position in the history of China has been gradually established.

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".
