The market invented by Shennong, which takes Japan and China as the market and barters things, is the origin and cornerstone of China's currency and commercial development.

Huangdi:
Huangdi has been in power for a long time, with strong national power, political stability and cultural progress, and many inventions and productions, such as writing, music, calendar, palace, boat, clothes and compass. According to legend, Yao, Shun, Yu and Tang are all his descendants, so the Yellow Emperor is regarded as the same ancestor of the Chinese nation.
the yellow emperor has four concubines and ten concubines. Zheng Fei, named Lei Zu from Xiling, personally planted mulberry and raised silkworms, and taught people to spin, calling her "the first silkworm". The second princess is Fang Leishi, a famous woman's day. Once again, the princess was the surname of Tongyu. The last princess, Mo Mu, was ugly, but virtuous, and was deeply respected by the Yellow Emperor.
Listener friends, we often say that we are all descendants of the Yellow Emperor, but there is still no archaeological evidence about the historical authenticity of the Emperor Yan and the Yellow Emperor. Generally speaking, "Yanhuang" refers to the leaders of two different tribes in the primitive society of China.
It is said that the Huangdi clan and Yandi clan first lived in Shaanxi Province in the west of China. This is the area where the Yellow River, the mother river of China, flows. At this point, this is consistent with the fact that world civilization began along the river basin. Later, the Huangdi family finally settled near Zhuolu in northern China, and the Yandi family finally arrived in Shandong in eastern China.
After many migrations, wars and mergers, Huangdi and Yandi ethnic groups gradually merged with Yi ethnic groups living in the east, Li ethnic groups and Miao ethnic groups living in the south, forming the original "Chinese ethnic group".
among the nationalities and tribes in the central plains at that time, the Huangdi clan was stronger and had a higher level of civilization, so the Huangdi clan became the representative of the central plains culture. Emperor Yanhuang became the ancestor of the Han nationality and was later called the ancestor of the Chinese nation.
about the second century BC, "Chinese" was called "Han". Therefore, people often call the Chinese nation "descendants of the Yellow Emperor" or descendants of the Yellow Emperor. There are many myths and legends about the Yellow Emperor, some of which even contradict each other because of the records of different characters in different periods.
It is said that the birth of the Yellow Emperor is extremely extraordinary. He was born by the daughter of the God of the Earth. He was able to speak as a baby, and he was clever and brilliant since childhood. As an adult, the Yellow Emperor had 25 sons and 1, princes, among whom 7, were gods in charge of different affairs. The wind, thunder, rain and electricity in nature are all in the charge of the Yellow Emperor, who can make 14 changes in the sky. The Yellow Emperor has four faces, which enables him to know and master the trends in all directions in time without turning his neck. In order to benefit his subjects, Huangdi taught people to sow grains and domesticate birds, animals and insects. Huangdi also invented cloth and silk to teach people to mine ores and make iron and bronze wares. Furthermore, the Yellow Emperor asked Cang Xie to create writing, Ling Lun made music rules and made calendars, and Qi Bo wrote medical books, which greatly facilitated people's life, production and entertainment.
