Besides tasting herbs, what glorious history did Yan Di Shennong leave?

Since ancient times, we have called ourselves descendants of the Yellow Emperor, which shows that we regard Yan Di and the Yellow Emperor as our ancestors, and they are very important in the eyes of the world. The person we are talking about today is Emperor Yan. He once tasted all kinds of herbs and invented medicine, so he is called Shennong. In ancient books, it was recorded that Emperor Yan had virtue, and followed Fuxi with fire virtue. As we all know, Emperor Yan once tasted a hundred herbs for seeking medical treatment. Apart from this great event, what merits does he have?

Emperor Yan once benefited his ancestors, so that the people of the tribe could have food and clothing, so as to stay away from the suffering of hunger and cold, and let the people of the tribe live better and better. In agriculture, Emperor Yan invented farm tools, taught people to grow grain, and promoted the development of agriculture. The invention of farm tools is conducive to the smooth progress of farming, thus solving the problem of food shortage in tribes and promoting the development of human farming civilization. Therefore, it can be seen that Emperor Yan made a certain contribution to the prosperity of agriculture.

In terms of economic development, Emperor Yan opened up a trade market. In order to solve the problem of inconvenient commodity circulation, it is stipulated that people and goods should be gathered at noon every day for market transactions, resulting in the circulation of commodities, the form of barter exchange in primitive society and the embryonic form of early market circulation. People call this way of exchanging things? Both Japan and China are cities? A clever Emperor Yan adopted it? Section of the vertical pole? To make sure Japanese and China? On the hour. Replacing goods at a fixed time is not only conducive to concentration, but also saves everyone's time. In addition, it gradually promoted the transformation from public ownership in primitive society to private ownership in slave society.

Emperor Yan also invented the bow and arrow. He takes wood as the male and animal tendons as the string. The invention of bow and arrow is helpful for people to effectively guard against the attack of wild animals, and can also be used as a powerful weapon to combat the invasion of foreign tribes, which not only achieves the effect of protecting tribal territory and materials, but also makes the embryonic form of tribal military teams gradually appear.

Emperor Yan also invented pottery, which can be used to cook and store food, greatly improving people's living standards and bringing a lot of convenience to people's lives. Changes in diet have also made great contributions to human food hygiene and further promoted the development of civilization.
