Records of the Five Emperors in Historical Records records: "The Huangdi was the son of Shaodian, surnamed Gongsun and named Xuanyuan, and Huangdi lived in the hill of Xuanyuan". China Ancient Capital Society (the confirmation organization of the seven ancient capitals in China) thinks that Xuanyuan Hill is located in Xuanyuan Hill, Zhengzhou City, Henan Province today, and it was the capital of Xiongguo in ancient times, and its father Shaodian was the monarch of Xiongguo. The Yellow Emperor was born in Jianglong Gorge, Juyuanguan, northwest of China, on the second day of the second lunar month (see February 2). According to legend, the mother of the Yellow Emperor was a girl on the Loess Plateau. One evening (or night), she suddenly saw the Northern Lights, and then she got pregnant and gave birth to the Yellow Emperor. According to China's historical records, he unified the tribes in China after Emperor Yan. Its capital is Zhuolu. He calculated the calendar; Teach the people to sow grain; Invent the compass and build the bow and arrow of the boat; Xing characters; Work as a dry branch, make musical instruments and create medicine. Today, there is the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor in Qiaoshan, Shaanxi Province. According to legend, when the Yellow Emperor was old, he cast a tripod and Lapras ascended to heaven. The courtiers put an arrow to stop him, and the dragon was shot and wounded. When he flew over the bridge country, he dropped a boot and was buried here. Both Huangdi and Yandi are regarded as the ancestors of the Chinese nation, so China people sometimes call themselves "descendants of the Yellow Emperor". Legend has it that the first princess of the Yellow Emperor is Lei Zu, and the second princess is Fang Lei's, Tong Yu's and Mo Mu's. According to "Historical Records", "Twenty-five sons of the Yellow Emperor, fourteen people got their surnames." Zhuan Xu, Di Ku, Tang Yao, Yu Shun, and the monarchs of Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties are all descendants of the Yellow Emperor. Later generations deified the Yellow Emperor gradually. In Zhuangzi, it is mentioned that the Yellow Emperor attained enlightenment and became immortal. The Yellow Emperor in Liexian Biography can also drive the immortals. Lei Zu
Lei Zu is a figure in the myths and legends of China. Historical Records mentioned that the Yellow Emperor married Lei Zu, the daughter of Xiling family, who invented sericulture as "the first sericulture in Lei Zu". Lei Zu is the yuan princess of Xuanyuan clan of Huangdi, the legendary northern tribal leader. She gave birth to the Xuanqi, the second son of Changyi. Changyi married Shushan's daughter, gave birth to Levin, and inherited the world. This is the "Zhuan Xu Emperor" among the five emperors. According to the Records of Sui Shu Etiquette, Lei Zu was honored as the "first silkworm" in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. "The History of Tong Jian Wai Ji" records: "Lei Zu, the daughter of Xiling's family, was the princess of the emperor. She began to teach the people to raise silkworms and cure silkworms for clothes." According to the current research, Lei Zu was born in Yanting County, Sichuan Province, and was buried in Qinglong Mountain, Jinji Town, Yanting County after his death. Yandi
Yandi, the name of the tribal leader of Shennong (said to be a descendant of Shennong), surnamed Jiang, was called Yandi because he ruled the king with fire. It was a legendary time in China (or ancient times), about three or four thousand BC, and was the * * * owner of the Jiang clan tribe in Shaanxi and Hubei today. It is said that he was born in the fierce mountain, so he was also called Shanshi Lie after Yandi. Biography
Jiang clan is a branch of Xirong, originally a nomadic people, and entered the Central Plains from the west at an early stage. At that time, at the junction of Shaanxi and Henan, there lived the Jiuli nationality headed by Chiyou (the Miao nationality with independence). The two sides had a long-term conflict because of tribal development, and Emperor Yan retreated to Hebei Province. It is said that because "Emperor Yan wanted to invade the princes", he fought three fierce battles with the Yellow Emperor of Xuanyuan clan Ji, which was considered as the first large-scale war of the Chinese nation, and it was called the Battle of Banquan (Banquan, referring to Banquan Village in Yanqing, Beijing). Facing the commander-in-chief, bear, tiger, raccoon,? Tiger is a powerful rival of totem tribe, but Emperor Yan finally lost, formed an alliance with it and submitted to it, and the Yellow Emperor ended the war with victory. The Yanhuang alliance has been expanding, and more and more tribes have submitted to it, but Chiyou has always refused to accept it, and a big war is inevitable. Chiyou led Jiu Li to fight with the alliance in Zhuolu (now Zhuolu Village, Hebei Province), which was the second war in the legendary era, called the Battle of Zhuolu. Finally, Chiyou was defeated. Since then, the ginger clan and the Yellow Emperor have settled down in the Central Plains. The word "descendants of the Yellow Emperor" refers to people's tracing back and respect for the ancestors of Chinese civilization, Emperor Yan and Huangdi. Emperor Yan is one of the ancestors of the Chinese nation and the legendary leader of the tribe named Jiang in ancient times, also known as Chi Di and Shanshi Lie. According to legend, his mother's name was Ren You. One day when she visited Huashan Mountain, she saw a dragon, and her body reacted immediately. When she came back, she gave birth to Emperor Yan. Emperor Yan was born in a stone chamber in a fierce mountain, and grew up in Jiang Shui. He was virtuous and respected by fire, so he was named Emperor Yan. Emperor Yan is few and intelligent. He can talk in three days, walk in five days, and know about crops in three years. He has done many good things for the people in his life: teaching the people to farm, so that the people can have plenty of food and clothing; In order to protect the people from diseases, he tasted all kinds of medicinal materials, so that he was poisoned 7 times a day. He also made musical instruments to make people understand etiquette, which was praised by later generations. The original activity area of its people was in the south of Shaanxi today, and later it developed eastward along the Yellow River, which clashed with the Yellow Emperor. In the Battle of Banquan, Yandi was defeated by the Yellow Emperor, and the Yandi tribe and the Yellow Emperor tribe merged to form the Huaxia nationality, so today China people call themselves "descendants of Yanhuang". In historical legends, Emperor Yan is a great figure, who developed primitive agriculture in China and was the founder of farming culture. Legend has it that he created wooden plows, taught people to farm and increased the yield of crops. Legend has it that he tasted all kinds of herbs, treated human diseases, and was the first discoverer and user of Chinese herbal medicine. Not only that, but it is also said that he used fire to benefit mankind, made musical instruments, and advocated material exchange ... In short, Yan Di Yan Di is a god who is inseparable from inventions in agriculture, industry, commerce, medicine, literature and other fields in historical legends, and has been greatly admired and sacrificed by the descendants of the Chinese people throughout the ages. Legends are mostly legends passed down from mouth to mouth because there were no complete words in the Yanhuang era. There are also many legends about Emperor Yan. However, some ancient books mentioned some things about Emperor Yan in a mythical way. Book of Changes? The copula "Shen Nong's work, the wood is the coffin, the wood is the coffin, and the benefit of the coffin is to teach the world. "White Tiger Pass" "People in ancient times all ate animals and animals. As for Shennong, there are many people and there are not enough animals. It is because of the time when Shennong divides the land, controls the land and teaches the people to farm. " Taiping Yu Lan quoted Zhou Shu as saying "God cultivates and makes pottery". Historical Records? Supplement san huang's Biography "Shennong began to taste herbs, and there was medicine". Shi Ben, Shen Nong and medicine help people. Huainanzi "tastes a hundred herbs, and the water springs are sweet and bitter ... and seventy poisons are encountered in one day". The following legends are all the deeds of Emperor Yan (or his ancestors): Teaching the people to farm is a method invented by Emperor Yan, and he ordered the people to collect grain seeds and sow them on the reclaimed land, and then the people planted grains in this way, hence the name Shennong. The invention of Lei Di Yan Di pioneered the wooden Lei Di, which is considered as the beginning of agricultural invention. Emperor Zheyan had a magic whip named Zhebian, which was used to whip all kinds of flowers and plants, so that the characteristics of medicine, poison, cold and heat of flowers and plants could be revealed. According to legend, in order to distinguish all kinds of herbs, Emperor Yan tried it himself, and finally tried a highly toxic herb, which was insoluble and eventually sacrificed his life. Inventing Pottery Emperor Yan also invented pottery, which appeared at the same time as farming and was hailed as another great pioneering work after the use of fire. According to the ancient records of the ancestors of Emperor Yan, Shennong lived for 5 years before the Yellow Emperor. Modern scholars generally believe that Shennong is a clan. Before the merger with the Yellow Emperor, an agricultural nation had developed and lived in the Yellow River basin for 5 years. They had entered the end of primitive society and had a relatively high cultural level. The so-called Suiren clan, Fu Xishi clan, Youchao clan and Shennong clan actually refer to four different evolutionary stages in the process of human development. Shennong's family name is Jiang, which may show that it used to take sheep as its main meat (it is said that it was born in Jiang Shui), and it also shows that it still depends on the tradition of matriarchal society, and sheep and women are combined into one (another Ji, Yi, Yao and Ying all have this feature). After the defeat of Emperor Yan, the tribes dispersed, some were driven out of Middle-earth, and some were ruled by the Yellow Emperor. The cultural level of the driven Shennong tribe was originally higher than that of the Huangdi tribe, but after a long time, the culture did not progress, suppressed and degenerated, but became a foreigner. There are Miao people living in Hubei, Hunan and Guizhou. Because their ancestors used to farm, they are called Miao people. Therefore, some people think that they are the descendants of the Shennong tribe. In the mountainous area of western Hubei, there is also a place called Shennongjia, which may also be related to this. It is said that Shennong was called Emperor Yan because it burned forests and opened up land. In ancient times, it was called "burning on fierce mountains", and Shennong's people were also called "Shanshi Lie" and "* * * Gongshi", and were regarded as the gods of millet and Du by later generations. According to legend, Yandi was born in Lieshan Mountain, and "Yandi Shennong Former Residence" was "built" in lishan town Lieshan Shennong Cave, 4 kilometers north of Suizhou, Hubei Province, in order to comply with the wishes of Chinese people at home and abroad. "Yandi Shennong's Former Residence" has two Shennong caves (one for grain medicine village storage and the other for residence), and there are more than a dozen Shennong pavilions, Shennong Pagoda, Shennong Temple, Shennong Tea Room in Shannan, Shennong Flowers, Jiulong Pavilion, Shennong Mother's Andeng Bath in Shanbei and Baicaoyuan. Shennong Cave and Shennong Monument are located on the fierce mountain 55 kilometers away from Suizhou city. There are original stone tables, benches, stone bowls and stone couches in the cave, which are said to be used by Shennong. Lieshan also has ancient buildings such as Shennongjing, Shennong House, Shennong Temple and Yandi Temple. In the north of Lishan Town, there is a monument of "Yandi Shennong", which has been preserved to this day. Chiyou
Chiyou, the leader of the Jiuli nationality in the ancient East (the other is the South) in China legend. There are eighty-one brothers (another said seventy-two), who are brave and powerful. Later, in the tribal war, he was defeated by the tribal alliance led by Huangdi in the battle of Zhuolu, and he was killed. Because Chiyou is a five-soldier, Chiyou is traditionally regarded as the god of weapons (the master of soldiers) and is worshipped. Chiyou is the legendary leader of the Jiuli nationality in the East (belonging to Dongyi Group). Chiyou has eighty-one brothers (that is, eighty-one clans), with a copper head and iron forehead. He is omnipotent and can call the wind and rain, making weapons out of metal. In the battle with the Yellow Emperor in the field of Zhuolu, Chiyou's practice made clouds everywhere, and the sergeant of the Yellow Emperor could not tell the direction clearly. Later, the Yellow Emperor made a compass to indicate the direction, which caused Chiyou to be defeated and captured. The battle of Zhuolu ended in the victory of the Yellow Emperor. After Huangdi defeated Yandi, many governors wanted to support him. However, the descendants of Emperor Yan were unwilling to submit to the Yellow Emperor, and repeatedly provoked wars, especially Chiyou. Chiyou is the grandson of Emperor Yan. It is said that Chiyou is brutal and belligerent by nature. He has eighty-one brothers, all of whom are talking beasts, each with a bronze head and iron forehead, who eat with stones and iron blocks. Chiyou originally belonged to the Yellow Emperor, but after the defeat of Emperor Yan, Chiyou discovered copper mines at the foot of Lushan Mountain. They made these copper weapons into swords, spears, halberds, shields and other weapons, which greatly boosted their military power and made them ambitious to avenge Emperor Yan. Chiyou joined forces with people from Fengbo, Yushi and Kuafu tribe to challenge the Yellow Emperor angrily. The Yellow Emperor loved the people by nature and didn't want to fight. He always wanted to persuade Chiyou to call a truce. However, Chiyou did not listen to advice and repeatedly violated the border. The Yellow Emperor had no choice but to sigh: "If I lose the world and Chiyou is in charge of the world, my subjects will suffer. If I tolerate Chiyou, it's a tiger. Now he can't do righteousness and blindly infringe, and I only have to punish injustice! " So the Yellow Emperor personally led troops to fight against Chiyou. The Yellow Emperor sent general Ying Long to battle first. Ying Long can fly and spray water from his mouth. As soon as he goes into battle, he flies into the sky and sprays water on the array of Chiyou from a commanding height. In an instant, the water surged and the waves rushed straight to Chiyou. Busy life Fengbo rain division human-god. Fengbo and Rain Master, one blew the wind all over the sky, and the other collected the water sprayed by Ying Long. In turn, they showed their great power, and it rained and blew the storm into the Yellow Emperor's array. should do
