Shennong's after the emergence of two major tribal alliances in the Central Plains. In order to fight for survival space between the tribes, in order to compete with each other, often war. Some tribal leaders, in order to satisfy their own selfish desires, "practiced the sword and saw internally, and used armor externally", and also waged wars to plunder wealth and enslave other tribes.

This war exacerbated the social division, to the normal agricultural production brings a huge threat, but the clan system to regulate the social contradictions of customary law at this time and has lost its role, which appears to be unable to do anything. In the face of increasing wars, kinship tribes with blood relations united with each other to form alliances, and then formed a wider range of associations.

Huangdi often attacked nearby tribes that were willing to join him, and his power grew. The two alliances finally came to blows when Emperor Yandi was also expanding his power. The two sides in the Hanquan (now Hebei Huailai) in three great battles, the Yellow Emperor commanded the subordinate bears, fighters, Pi, braves, tiger six clans, and the Yandi tribes killed in the dark, Yandi tribes suffered a crushing defeat, had to surrender.

Because the two tribes have blood relatives, the Yellow Emperor did not slaughter the Yandi tribe, but with them to form a tribal alliance, the Yellow Emperor became the leader of the Yanhuang tribal alliance. The Yan Huang tribal alliance developed over a long period of time, forming the prototype of the later Huaxia tribe.

5. Legends about Yandi:

Yandi was a very loving god. When he was alive, the human beings on the earth, due to the great number of births, the natural production of food is no longer enough for people to eat. So, the benevolent Yandi taught human beings how to sow the grains and harvest the grains, and to use their hard labor to get everything they needed for their lives. When he was about to teach mankind to plant the five grains, many grains fell from the sky.

He collected these seeds and sowed them on the reclaimed land. Once he saw a bird, reddish in color all over, flying through the air with a grain of nine spikes in its beak. The grains on the spikes fell to the ground, and Yan Di picked them up and planted them in the field. When these grains grew up, people ate them not only to satisfy their hunger, but also to live forever.

From then on, human beings had enough food, life was very stable. At that time, human beings *** with the labor, help each other, neither masters, nor slaves. People harvested the fruits of the average distribution of everyone, feelings like brothers and sisters generally close. In order to enable mankind to live a happier life, Yan Di and let the sun emit enough light and heat, so that the five grains nurture growth.

So that people live in the brilliant warmth of the light. From then on, human beings never worried about food and clothing. People are very grateful to Yandi's benevolence, so they honored him as "Shennong". At that time, Yandi's appearance was like a bull's head and body, which was about his contribution. Yandi was not only the god of agriculture, but also the god of medicine. Because, sunlight is the source of health. Yandi had a divine whip, known as the Ochre Whip.

He used this whip to whip a variety of herbs, herbs after the ochre whip, poisonous or non-poisonous, or containing or hot various medicinal properties will naturally appear. So he cured people according to the different medicinal properties of these herbs. In order to be more sure of the medicinal properties, he also went to taste the herbs himself. In order to taste the medicine, he had been poisoned more than seventy times in one day.

Once, he tasted a kind of highly poisonous broken intestines grass, and was actually rotted off his intestines. Yan Di saw that although human beings were rich in food and clothing, there were still many inconveniences in life. So, he let the people set up a trade market to exchange what they needed with each other. In the market, available grains for animal skins or pearls for stone axes and so on. With this kind of exchange, people's wealth is richer.

At that time, there is no clock, there is no other way to record time, by what to determine the time of exchange? People can not put down the hands of labor, all day long in the market. So, Yandi wanted to teach people a way, when the sun shines above people's heads, they will trade in the market, after this period of time, everyone will automatically leave. People implement it and feel that it is really easy and accurate.

Under his education, his descendants also made many contributions to mankind. For example, his grandson Shu made the target for archery; Drum and Ting made a musical instrument called "bell", and later, the two of them composed many songs through their efforts to popularize music on earth.

Regulus is the earliest ancestor of the Chinese ancient history of the legendary period of God, the formation of the Huaxia tribe is recognized as the ancestor of the whole tribe. In the ancient times, around the Jishui area (i.e., from the Wei Shui in the east to the Huangshui between the present Shaanxi, Gansu and Qingdao areas of the ancient Qijia culture area) the formation of the more advanced Huangdi tribe, that is, because of this outstanding ancestor and named. The Huangdi tribe and the ginger Yandi tribe living in the area of Jiangshui (near present-day Qishan and Wugong in Shaanxi Province into the Weishui) have been exchanging marriages for generations. Later, one of the descendants of the Huangdi tribe entered present-day southwestern Shanxi and created the Xia culture, which became known as the Xia tribe. The Xia tribe entered the Central Plains and established China's first dynasty, the Xia Dynasty. The first Xia dynasty was established in the central plains of China. Jin Yu (晋语), Shiben (世本), and the Di Lineage (帝系), found in the Da Dai Li Ji (大戴禮记), all say that Huang Di was the son of Shaodian. The Shiji (Records of the Grand Historian).

The Book of Changes" and "The Book of the World". The Yellow Emperor's period was characterized by many inventions in various documents, such as the "Yi" and "Shiben", and the "Zuoshu". In terms of production technology, there were wells, pestles and mortars, bows and vectors, oxen and horses, driving and boats, etc.; in terms of material life, there were clothes and crowns, etc.; in terms of spiritual culture, there were kazi, sun and moon, counting, calendars, music, psalms and yuks, medicines, writing, etc. Of course, many of these inventions were made after the Huangdi period, and many of them were made by the Huangdi Emperor. Of course, many of these inventions were made after the Yellow Emperor, but they also reflected the brilliant achievements of the Yellow Emperor's race. The "Strategies of the Warring States" (战国策? Qin策" recorded Su Qin put "Huang Di伐涿鹿而禽蚩尤" and Yao伐驩兜, Shun伐三苗, Yu伐***工, Tang伐夏, and Wuwang伐纣, indicating that this was the main achievement of Huang Di in his life. The Yellow Emperor's race went through the conflicts, interactions and integration with other races during the Xia and Zhou dynasties, and formed the unified Huaxia race during the Warring States period. Legend has it that Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi was active in the area of Yuzhou's Guci and Beji Mountain after he entered the Central Plains, leaving behind a large number of ancient monuments and touching legends. For example, he left behind a large number of monuments and moving legends, such as the military training ground in Dahongzhai, the Cave of Hidden Troops, the monastic nunnery in the area of Yiqianguan, and the village of Sanya, where he took leave of his ministers. The fiefdoms of his ministers were also located in this area. For example, Feng Hou's fiefdom was Feng Hou Ding, Li Mu's fiefdom was called Li Ranch, Fang Lei's fiefdom was Fang Shan, Yong's fiefdom was Yong Cheng, and the place where he met Da Kui and Guang Cheng Zi, etc. Therefore, the historical records also called the place where he left his ministers, the Zang Bing Cave. Therefore, the historical records also claim that Yuzhou is the hometown of the Yellow Emperor. And his descendant, Xia Yu, established the first slave dynasty in the fiefdom of Yu Xia (i.e., today's Yuzhou), therefore, Yuzhou is also known as "the first capital of Huaxia".

Therefore, if we look at its production, we will be amazed at the number of ancient saints; if we divide it into periods, we will see the ugliness of the first people.

By the time of the Yellow Emperor, all the saints were flourishing, and the palace, clothes, boats and vehicles, bows and vectors, instruments, drawings, calendars, and math began to be made.
