How do we know the history of the Yellow Emperor and Yan Di?

China is a vast country. Through unearthed cultural relics, present written records and myths and legends passed down from mouth to mouth, we have been proudly claiming that we have a civilization history of 5,000 years. And Chinese civilization is the only ancient civilization that continues to this day. And civilizations like ancient Egypt, ancient Babylon and ancient India, which are called the four great civilizations with us, have long been forced to be interrupted under the iron hoof of foreign countries; Including the ancient sea-loving civilization, which is regarded as one of the sources of western civilization today, is no exception.

Therefore, our Chinese culture has enough confidence to establish its own cultural confidence in today's world.

We have always called ourselves descendants of the Chinese people and said that we have a common ancestor. "Yanhuang" naturally refers to Yandi and Huangdi. So, what do we know about these two ancestors?

Nowadays, family root-seeking activities are particularly prosperous. Sophora japonica in Hong Tong, Shanxi Province will receive hundreds of thousands of tourists during the Golden Week of November. And when we dig the traces of our ancestors, we should know more about the roots of our culture-that is, the legendary story of Yanhuang.

The record of the birth of the Yellow Emperor was first found in Mandarin Today, in which it was said that both the Yellow Emperor and Yan Di were sons of Shaodian. According to general historical records and various historical legends, there are many stories about the Yellow Emperor than Yan Di.

Huangdi's surname is Gongsun and his name is Xuanyuan. In the era when Xuanyuan power was just emerging, Shennong was still the nominal leader of the vassal, but it had already begun to decline. As a result, various governors attacked each other and abused the people, but Shennong could do nothing.

XuanYuanShi really deserves to be the first of the five emperors in ancient China. In such troubled times, he soon saw the opportunity to benefit people all over the world and make a name for himself. Under the banner of "no enjoyment", he conquered the princes who didn't come to worship, and initially established his authority in this early East-West war. (Enjoy, pay tribute, contribute)

This is so familiar, it reminds me of Zhou Wenwang and Qi Huangong. Are they all imitating the Yellow Emperor?

Later, Emperor Yan wanted to invade the princes and push them to the side of the Yellow Emperor. Compared with Yan Di's unpopularity, Huangdi Xiu De went into politics, purged the military and political affairs, paid attention to farming and comforted people's livelihood, and later fought bloody battles with Yan Di in Sakamoto. After several confrontations, the Yellow Emperor defeated Yan Di, so the two tribes of Yanhuang merged, which is the origin of the Huaxia nationality, the original name of our Chinese nation.

The following short story is familiar to everyone. Chiyou disobeyed the orders of the Yellow Emperor and wanted to compete with him for the authority of the world. Naturally, the Yellow Emperor would not let such a buffoon ruin his great cause, so he fought Chiyou in Zhuolu and soon captured him.

Defeating Chiyou is the turning point for Huangdi to conquer the world. Since then, he has been cracking down on disobedient princes. According to Records of the Five Emperors in Historical Records, "If something goes wrong in the world, the Yellow Emperor will levy it, and those who are flat will go there and cross the mountain road, and there will never be peace." In other words, after the Yellow Emperor pacified one place, he rushed to the next place without stopping, and soon cleared the world.

However, don't speculate on the belly of the ancient sages with the heart of today's people. Because the legendary Yellow Emperor also took the lead in creating many benefits for the people.

In addition to conquest, the Yellow Emperor also set up official positions, established an army, made a calendar, arranged etiquette and so on, and made many attempts for the establishment of future generations. He also led the people in reeling silkworms and creating characters. Even if these things are missing, it is also a great loss for our Chinese nation.

Later, due to the serious civil disaster, the Yellow Emperor took the bronze tripod from Shoushan and built it under Jingshan Mountain. This story can be said to be a concentrated expression of our ancient working people's desire for rulers to love the people. On the day of reaching the summit, a dragon came down to welcome the Yellow Emperor to leave. Today, the Yellow Emperor in Henan casts a tripod, which is said to be the place where the Yellow Emperor ascended to heaven and became immortal.
