A story about Yan Di and the Yellow Emperor, bonus! More than 5 points

A long time ago, on the banks of Jishui River in the northwest of the earth, there lived two ancient tribes, the Bear and the Insect Joe. They took water as their surname for generations, married and merged, and continued to develop. One year, Shao Dian, the leader of the Xiong clan, married Fu Bao, a woman of the Insect Joe clan. One night, while watching the Big Dipper, Bao suddenly saw white light shining in the sky, illuminating all the fields. Fu Bao was pregnant by induced labor. Later, she gave birth to a son named Gongsun Xuanyuan in Shouqiu. Xuanyuan was born magical and supernatural. He started talking when he was very young. He reacted quickly when he was a teenager. When he grew up, he was honest and sharp-minded, and even more intelligent as an adult. After Shaodian's death, Xuanyuan became the leader of the Xiong clan and married Leizu, the daughter of the leader of Xiling tribe. Leizu teaches mulberry to raise silkworms. The place where they live is called Xuanyuan Mountain. At that time, due to the increasing population of Jishui River basin, Xuanyuan decided to lead the tribe eastward. In the process of moving eastward, they met the Yan Di tribe who had already moved, and the two sides clashed. After Osaka (b m 4 n) Spring and Drought Wars, the two tribes merged and formed an alliance, and were unified under the leadership of Xuanyuan, who was honored as the "Yellow Emperor". Emperor Yan personally went to the south to educate the people there. After this integration, the clan led by the Yellow Emperor was stronger than ever. So the Yellow Emperor decided to gather ghosts and gods on Mount Tai. Just then, the Yellow Emperor rode a treasure elephant car and was dragged to Mount Tai by six dragons. Fang Bi, a one-legged bird with a crane face, served by the car; Fengbo cleans the road, and Teacher Yu sprinkles water; Yan Di's subordinate, Chiyou, led the tiger and the wolf to walk in front of the car, and the ghosts and gods followed. Walking in the clouds, winged snakes crouch on the ground, and the phoenix flies on the roof of the treasure elephant. ......

The scene of the Taishan party was grand and magnificent, and the Yellow Emperor was deeply moved. He personally composed and played a piece of music called "Clear Corner". Seeing that the Yellow Emperor was so complacent, Yan Di's subordinate Chiyou was unconvinced. When he came back, he joined forces with tribal leaders such as Fengbo, Shi Yu and Kuafu to revolt, and no longer obeyed the orders of the Yellow Emperor. Chiyou is the leader of the Miao Man Jiuli clan. He is very aggressive and likes chaos. He has a copper head, can eat stones and is dangerous to walk. In addition, he has eighty brothers, all of whom are animals and people, with bronze heads and iron foreheads, who eat sand and stones. At the same time, they can also make sticks, knives, halberds, crossbows and other weapons, so they are very awesome all over the world. If the battle of Hanquan is not the main peace of Emperor Yan, the outcome is unpredictable.

Chiyou rose up, rebelled against the Yellow Emperor, and killed innocent people without mercy, causing all the people to suffer. People all hope that the Yellow Emperor can reorganize the world and end the war. The Yellow Emperor was kind by nature and was not easy to fight. Therefore, he was bent on persuading Chiyou to stop fighting. But Chiyou didn't listen to the advice and couldn't attack again and again. The Yellow Emperor sighed: "If I fail, Chiyou will be in charge of the world, and the people will suffer. To tolerate Chiyou is to raise bandits to make trouble. This situation can no longer be tolerated. "

Therefore, the Yellow Emperor personally led the troops to conquer Chiyou. He sent Ying Long to attack vilen in Jizhou. Ying Long has wings, can fly, and can spray water from his mouth. Ying Long sucked the water from the river into his mouth, flew into the sky and sprayed water on array Chiyou. Suddenly, the stormy waves fell from the sky and went straight to Chiyou. Chiyou sent Fengbo and Rain Master to fight. Fengbo and Rain God displayed their great power, gathering water with the wind, and beating the storm into the Yellow Emperor's array. Ying Long can't collect water. As a result, the Yellow Emperor was in chaos and returned in rout. Later, it was nine wars and nine defeats.

There was no way. The Yellow Emperor led his troops back to Mount Tai and hid in the hazy fog. He didn't eat or sleep for three days and nights, thinking hard about how to retreat from the enemy. Just then, a woman in the shape of a bird appeared in front of the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor bowed his head again with the highest courtesy, but fell to the ground and dared not get up. This woman said that she was a "nine-day Xuan Nv" and asked the Yellow Emperor what he wanted. The Yellow Emperor said that he always lost the battle and wanted to win the battle. So, in nine days, Xuan Nv taught the Yellow Emperor "Xuan Nv tactics". After the Yellow Emperor got the tactics taught by Xuan Nv for nine days, he invited Nu Wa, a drought god, to help him. Nuwa will gather clouds and rest in the rain and live in Kunlun Mountain. In order to cheer up the low morale, the Yellow Emperor sent people to Liubo Mountain, 7,000 miles away from the East China Sea, caught a foot monster "Kui" who was as strong as an ox and roared like thunder without horns, and skinned it to make a war drum. At the same time, send someone to catch Lei Shou, use the biggest bone on his body as a drumstick, and knock the real leather drum. Sound can travel five hundred miles, which is enough to shock all directions. In addition, the Yellow Emperor made dozens of battle drums with the skins of nine cows, and together with the skins drums, they formed a drum array. After everything was ready, the Yellow Emperor led his troops back to Mount Tai and launched a fierce battle with Chiyou in the wilderness of Zhuolu. Chiyou sent Chiyou (Chρ) curse and other monsters in the mountains to attack the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor asked his men to brag about their horns and made dragons to subdue them. As a result, Chiyou died. Chiyou also used magic to raise the fog all over the sky and cover the Yellow Emperor's team. Three days and three nights can't tell the direction, and the foot soldiers are full of fear and confusion. The Yellow Emperor ordered Hou Feng to follow the example of Beidou to make a compass car, identify the direction, and successfully quit the encirclement.

The Yellow Emperor ordered Ying Long to fly to spray water again. Ying Long opened his mouth and the river rushed to Chiyou's army. Chiyou sent Fengbo to fight the rain master, and the strong wind wrapped in heavy rain attacked the Yellow Emperor's army again. The Yellow Emperor immediately sent the goddess of famine and wrath into battle, and the angry woman showed her divine power. In an instant, the sun is shining and the heat wave is rolling. Wherever she goes, the wind and rain disappear. Fengbo and Rain Master were at a loss and failed in haste. Seeing this, Chiyou led eighty brothers to kill him. The Chiyou brothers are tough and brave, and almost no one can beat them. The Yellow Emperor held Lei Shou's drumstick and beat the real leather drum. Suddenly the drums blared, and eighty Chiyou brothers were scared out of their wits and died soon. Seeing this, Chiyou jumped to his feet and quickly fled from vilen, Zhuolu. The Yellow Emperor ordered his men to form a drum array. At the command, dozens of cowhide drums sounded at the same time, knocking nine times and shaking the earth. Chi You, who had flown to the middle of Jizhou, fell to the ground and could not escape. After catching Chiyou, the Yellow Emperor ordered him to be put on a cangue net and put to death on Mount Li. This place was later called "Xiezhou" and produced pool salt. Salt water is red, and locals say it is made of Chiyou's blood. For the Miaoman Jiuli clan who rebelled with Chiyou, the Yellow Emperor moved those who were willing to surrender to it to the land of Zoutu and those who were unwilling to surrender to it to the land of the north.

In order to prevent Chiyou from causing trouble after his death, the Yellow Emperor ordered Chiyou's head to be buried in the land of Shouzhang in Dongping. The tomb is 70 feet high. Every October, when local people offer sacrifices, red air goes straight into the sky, which is called "Chiyou Banner". Bury his body in the square south of Mount Tai. The cangue of Chiyou was taken down and thrown on Songshan Mountain in the wild, and later it became a maple forest. After defeating Chiyou, the Yellow Emperor sent Ying Long to kill Kuafu. At that time, the people who were eager to move were frightened and all surrendered. All tribes agree that the Yellow Emperor has replaced Yan Di Shennong as the master of the world.

From then on, if there is an uprising army in the world, the Yellow Emperor will go out in person and leave after calming down. The Yellow Emperor also sent people to use the portrait of Chiyou to show the places that are difficult to educate in all directions, warning the tribes there not to forget the lesson of Chiyou's insurrection.

The Yellow Emperor cut through thorns for the people, but he didn't live a leisurely day. He traveled to the Bohai Sea in the east, Maruyama Mountain and Mount Tai in the west, Jitou Mountain in the west, the Yangtze River in the south, Woong San and Xiangshan in the north, and together with tribal leaders, he expelled the meat porridge in Busan. He established the capital at the foot of Guangping Mountain in Zhuolu and sent troops on all sides. Use "cloud" to name the positions of officials, and set up five official positions to manage heaven, earth, god, earth and things respectively, so that all departments can perform their duties and avoid confusion. This army is called the cloud division; Set up left and right prisons to supervise tens of thousands of tribes; Personally presided over the ceremony of offering sacrifices to ghosts and mountains and the closed-door Zen ceremony; Set Baoding, use yarrow to calculate the calendar and predict the future solar terms; Appoint Hou Feng, Li Mu, Chang Xian, Da Hong and other talents to govern the country; Follow the cycle of the four seasons of heaven and earth, follow the changes of yin and yang and the five elements, and follow the truth of life and death.

The Yellow Emperor and his wife, Lei Zu, led the people to plow the fields, plant hundreds of plants, plant mulberry and raise silkworms, educate the world with morality, be thrifty, save water, fire and money, and make the people live and work in peace and contentment. Xuanyuan Huangdi has the reputation of "Tude". After his death, the earth split and people buried him in Qiao Shan. Before the death of the Yellow Emperor, all the people in the world benefited. After his death, Zebei has existed for thousands of generations, and within one hundred years, Yu Wei still exists. A hundred years later, people still follow his teachings.

Huan Long Shi Yue:

The bear tribe of the Yellow Emperor lives in the Jishui Valley, so the surname of the Yellow Emperor "Ji" is called "You Xiong"; Because the Yellow Emperor lives in Xuanyuan Mountain, it is also called "Xuanyuan". Sima Qian's Historical Records in the Western Han Dynasty recorded that the name of the Yellow Emperor was Gongsun and Xuanyuan.

Although there are still stubborn people, according to western archaeology, they deny the existence of the "Yellow Emperor". However, no one can deny the existence of the Yellow Emperor as the cornerstone of Chinese civilization. Among the "Three Emperors and Five Emperors" in ancient times, the Yellow Emperor was the first great man who was clearly recorded in the official history. Western Han Dynasty? Sima Qian in his book Historical Records? In The Biography of Five Emperors, the Yellow Emperor is the opening work. China's 5,000-year written history has begun.

The story of the Yellow Emperor pacifying Chiyou is the first earth-shattering war in ancient China with the help of ghosts and gods. This war is different from the initial melee in which humans used primitive weapons such as stones and wood. It has begun to have formation, tactics and restraint, and has begun to use new weapons and tools.

According to the book "Dragon Fish River Map", "Eighty-one Chiyou brothers spoke in animal body and human language, ate sand and stones, made soldiers' sticks, knives, halberds and crossbows, which made the world famous ..." It can be seen that Chiyou, a Jiuli clan at that time, should have mastered the production and use of bronze weapons.

What about Shan Hai Jing? "Beiye Jing" records: "Chiyou set out to attack the Yellow Emperor, and the Yellow Emperor made Ying Long attack the wilderness of Jizhou. Ying Long stores water. Chiyou asked for rain in Fengbo, and it rained heavily. The Yellow Emperor is the goddess in the sky. She said, "The rain will stop ..." Zhi Lin recorded that "The Yellow Emperor and Chiyou fought in the land of Zhuolu, and Chiyou was foggy for three days, and the soldiers were in chaos. The Yellow Emperor used the fighting machine behind the wind as a guiding car to avoid all directions and seize Chiyou. "

These descriptions show that Chiyou, who was once a vassal of Emperor Yan, didn't just set fire to smoke in the long-term slash-and-burn farming practice. Mastered the general laws of climate change. The nomadic Huangdi clan is not good at it, so at the beginning of the war, the Huangdi side is always passive. However, the Yellow Emperor was good at solving his dilemma according to the changes of the war, such as inventing the south guide car and making war drums as contact signals.

The conflict and integration between the Yellow Emperor and Yan Di, Chiyou and other tribes, as well as the assimilation of other clans, laid the foundation for the formation of the Chinese nation. Since then, China people have called themselves "descendants of the Chinese people". The Yellow Emperor became the undisputed ancestor of the Chinese nation. Although Chiyou was defeated and killed, he was still regarded as the "Lord of Warriors" by later generations, that is, the "God of War" and was widely sacrificed. Today, Miao people living in Guizhou still regard Chiyou as the ancestor of their epic.

In the eyes of future generations, Xuanyuan Huangdi, as the ancestor, is omnipotent. Therefore, the inventions and creations of various industries, the works of Huangdi's Neijing, the cultivation of immortals and other legends and stories are all attached to him.

There is the Huangdi Mausoleum in Qiaoshan, huangling county, Shaanxi. Since the Spring and Autumn Period, there has been an endless stream of admirers of Huangdi Mausoleum for more than 2,700 years. From Qin Wengong (756 BC) to the Qing Dynasty, there were 76 emperors' historical records of offering sacrifices to ancestors of tombs, and more than 30 inscriptions were erected. 1937 when War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression broke out, President Mao Zedong wrote a eulogy in calligraphy and swore to Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan: "... if you are United, you will win this battle. Give me back my rivers and mountains and defend my sovereignty. This is the ambition of this thing, you must not blame it. Tell our ancestors after the military reorganization. Is a real prison, is heaven and earth ... "

Now every year in Tomb-Sweeping Day, tens of thousands of Chinese descendants come to worship.
