When did the expression "children of the Yellow Emperor" come into being? What is the basis for this?

China has 5,000 years of cultural tradition, a long history, is the only existing civilization in history, the culture of this thing has been passed on for more than 5,000 years is the Chinese people are most proud of things.

Yanhuangzi

So, many countries mentioned the discovery of paintings tens of thousands of years ago, and there are some places where even rough symbolic writing appeared, but those things are not inherited in sets, so they can't be called culture, and there's a reason why Chinese people are proud of this aspect of their culture, which has been inherited for 5,000 years, and that's very rare. And Chinese people usually like to call themselves the children of Yanhuang, Yanhuang is the beginning of the Chinese cultural heritage.

The so-called Yanhuang, in fact, Yanhuang refers to the five thousand years ago, the Yan Emperor and the Yellow Emperor, the two appeared in the time before the Xia Dynasty, when China has not had a unified dynasty, there were still a lot of tribes in the struggle for supremacy, and finally the Yan Emperor and the Yellow Emperor became the largest tribal leader, and initiated the last war for supremacy to defeat the biggest rival, Chi You.

This history is China's earliest record of emperors and kings, so these two are also known as the ancestors of many ethnic groups, including the Han, Miao and many other ethnic groups.

Huaxia origin

Besides the children of Yan Huang, many people also say that they are Huaxia people, the Huaxia nation, and the Huaxia nation refers to not only the Han Chinese, but many people who live in this part of China. So how did the Huaxia people come about? There is actually a story behind the origin of the two words Hua Xia, we can split the two words Hua and Xia, which need to be understood separately.

After the story, there weren't as many words as there are today, and although we all know that the number of words from ancient times to the present day is not less than a few hundred thousand, for the sake of convenience, the words that are really commonly used are not that many no matter which era they are in. For a country and a tribe, they usually use as few characters as possible. Hua is homophonic with flower, so many people think it's a generic character, Hua = flower.

And extrapolating on the premise that the character Hua is equivalent to flower, the character Xia would mean big, and Hua Xia would be a big flower.

Cultural inheritance and invasion

In fact, it is not only the invasion of the Eight-Power Allied Forces in modern history, China has been invaded by more invasions in history, such as the Huns, the Turks, the Mongols, and so on, but none of the invasions made our culture extinct, and even we were able to pass our culture on to other ethnic groups when we were in a downtrodden state, which indirectly strengthened the Han culture.

This is because with the concept of Huaxia and Yanhuang y rooted in people's hearts, the Han culture not only became stronger and stronger, but also the inheritance of the toughness has become higher, in addition to their own generations, but also fused a lot of other tribes and ethnic groups. Compatible and acceptance of Chinese culture is also enduring in the end, there are four major ancient civilizations on the earth, this everyone should know, but can be inherited to today, and the culture continues to be the only one we.

The so-called world is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, here the world refers to our culture.

Flower

Saying that they are flowers is a reason, because the Central Plains is indeed rich in water and grass, and the most fertile farmland, and many surrounding areas are poor, poor water, we look down on the small tribes to elevate their own deserved.

And the big and the evolution of the latter, with the expansion of civilization, the Chinese nation became bigger and bigger, and even call themselves China, for the center of the world, the vast territory of the country is naturally qualified to be called big, so we can understand the Huaxia as a big fragrant flower.
