Extended data:

Miao origin:

Miao nationality can be traced back to the legend of Yanhuang five or six thousand years ago. At that time, the Jiuli Tribal Alliance, headed by Chiyou, appeared in the lower reaches of the Yellow River and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, while the other two major tribal groups, headed by Yan Di Shennong and Huangdi Xuanyuan, were formed on the Shaanxi-Gansu Loess Plateau.

Yan Di and Huangdi developed from west to east along the Yellow River, and successively fought against Chiyou in Zhuolu area. Chiyou defeated Emperor Yan first. "The human-god is chasing the emperor and fighting for the position of Zhuolu. There are nine horns. " Later, Yandi and Huangdi jointly defeated Chiyou. "When Xuanyuan was the most fierce, Chiyou could not be cut down, so the Yellow Emperor was a vassal and fought against Chiyou in the field of Zhuolu, so the birds killed Chiyou."

After the death of Chiyou, the world was in chaos, and the Yellow Emperor painted a portrait of Chiyou to deter the world and make it stable. However, after the defeat of Chiyou Jiuli Group, most of them migrated to the south and began the migration history of Miao nationality. Up to now, the legend of Chiyou has been widely circulated among the Miao people, who always believe that Chiyou is their ancestor.
