The battle between Huangdi, a Chinese native of Shaanxi, and Chiyou, a native of Dongyi, Shandong, was also a decisive battle between Huaxia Alliance in the Loess Plateau and Dongyi Alliance in the North China Plain and Taihu Plain. After this battle, Huangdi's reputation in China was established and Dongyi was prevented from going north and west. Tang Yao, a Chinese native from Shanxi, reached an understanding with Gao, the leader of Dongyi People's Congress from Anhui, when he was the leader of Huaxia, and Huaxia and Dongyi merged. During the Shun period, the Shandong native Dongyi defeated Sanmiao in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and Sanmiao moved south.

The Yellow Emperor is in the north of Shaanxi, and it is estimated that he often travels north to Shanxi and Hebei. Then the Chiyou tribe started in Shandong and went west, because many tribes in Henan and Shaanxi listened to Emperor Yan. Then the Huangdi tribe fought and retreated, lured the enemy into Hebei, and defeated the Chiyou tribe with the then Beidi and Yandi tribes.

The Yellow Emperor of Xia nationality wiped out the Chinese Chiyou, and the Sanmiao people were originally descendants of Dongyi people. At that time, Dongyi tribe had two tribes, Yandi tribe and Chiyou tribe, and Huangdi tribe belonged to the northern nation. The Chiyou tribe belongs to the Tai Hao clan, while the Yandi tribe belongs to the big court clan, and the Yellow Emperor belongs to the bear clan.

Yandi tribe defeated Chiyou tribe, and joined forces with Xiongzu, a nomadic people in the north, to defeat Chiyou tribe. Later, Yan and Huang fought, and the Huangdi tribe won a great victory. In order to enter the Central Plains, the Huangdi tribe and the Yandi tribe merged. So it is called Huaxia. The defeated Chiyou tribe fled south, and some of the defeated Yandi tribe fled south, so they merged with the local aborigines and were called Sanmiao.
