There are different opinions about the origin of the Chinese nation. As for the descendants of the dragon, I don’t know whether there is a dragon or not, but as a descendant of the Yan and Huang Dynasties, it is certain that there is history to check. So did Yan Emperor and Huang Emperor really ever exist?
No one knows, just like the Xia Dynasty, it is the earliest feudal dynasty in China with documented history, but even so, it is not recognized by the world as really existing. This is true for a traceable civilization like the Xia Dynasty, let alone those prehistoric histories that exist in myths?
As we all know, Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang are the ancestors of the Chinese nation. Emperor Yan, as the leader of the Jiang tribe in ancient times, tasted herbs, invented slash-and-burn farming, taught people to reclaim wasteland and grow food, and made great contributions to the Chinese nation. His huge contribution was even honored as "Emperor Shennong" by Taoism. In myths and legends, Emperor Yan is the ruler of the world after Nuwa.
In people's established impressions, the stories in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" are habitually attributed to "myths and legends", and "Jingwei's Reclamation of the Sea" is actually a typical "revenge myth." The poor daughter of Emperor Yan had no enmity with Donghai, but she lost her life because of Donghai. After her death, she could only transform into a Jingwei bird to compete with Donghai with her own weak strength.
Scarlet Emperor Girl, like Yan Emperor Girl, is obsessed with cultivating immortals. After completing her studies, she came to Nanyang Sushan Mountain and built a nest in a mulberry tree with small branches. From then on, she lived in the tree and never came down again. Emperor Yan was very anxious when he saw his daughter behaving so strangely, and tried every means to lure her down, but it was all in vain.
So he had someone light a fire under the tree, hoping to use the fire to force his daughter to leave the mulberry tree, but his daughter remained stubborn and ignored. In the end, she shed her body in the fire, and like her sister "Yandi Girl", she became an immortal and flew away, leaving Yandi, the old father, alone in sorrow.
As the saying goes, "Art comes from life and is higher than life." "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" is an ancient historical book from a period when the development of human civilization was extremely slow. In the book, the tiny human beings describe more of the A classic example of God actively transforming nature for the benefit of mankind.
The story of Jingwei's reclamation of the sea reflects the loneliness, weakness and helplessness of human beings in the face of nature. Even the daughter of Emperor Yan, one of the ancestors of China, was powerless in the face of the power of the sea.
