Allusions

Among the large number of myths and legends, the man with the greatest ability and the most inventions was the Yellow Emperor. Legend has it that he invented cars, boats, pots, mirrors, and made crossbows. It is also said that the Yellow Emperor asked Cangjie to create characters, Linglun to make music, Daluo to formulate Jiazi, and Qibo to write medical books.

It is said that the Huangdi tribe and the Yandi tribe first lived in Shaanxi. The Huangdi tribe finally settled near Zhuolu, Hebei. Emperor Yan finally arrived in today's Shandong area. Chi You is the leader of the Jiuli tribe. The areas where the Jiuli people live are mainly in present-day Shandong, Henan and Anhui. According to legend, a war broke out between the Yandi tribe and the Jiuli tribe to compete for a fertile land in the Yellow River Basin. The Yandi tribe was defeated and asked for help from the Huangdi tribe. The Huang and Yan tribes merged.

According to the above myths and legends, it can be seen that the three tribes of Huangdi, Yandi and Jiuli gradually merged with each other, with Huangdi as the main tribe, and Huangdi became the leader of our multi-ethnic country. *Same ancestor. Later, all ethnic groups believed that they were descendants of the Yellow Emperor and were called "descendants of Yan and Huang".

Demons and Demons

About four thousand years ago, the two emperors Yan and Huang fought for the world. After the Yan Emperor's son Chi You was captured, he became a follower of the Yellow Emperor and later found an opportunity to escape. Return to Emperor Yan and urge Emperor Yan to restart the war and wash away the shame of Xue Banquan. However, Emperor Yan was already old and weak, and he could not bear to bring disaster to the people by starting a war on his own, so he did not listen to Chi You's advice. Chi You had no choice but to mobilize his brothers, and summoned the Miao people in the south, as well as the demons and monsters in the mountains, forests and swamps, and led the army to challenge the Yellow Emperor under the banner of Emperor Yan. Huang Di couldn't help being shocked when he heard that Chi You had launched an army. He wanted to use his kindness and righteousness to influence Chi You, but Chi You was not influenced, and the two sides started a battle in Zhulu. Chi You used magic to create a poisonous fog array and surrounded Huang Di's army. However, Huang Di drove the compass invented by his counselor Feng Hou and commanded the army to break out of the poisonous fog array. Chi You sent demons and monsters to fight again, and Huang Di asked the soldiers to use horn horns to blow the dragon's sound to scare away these ghosts and monsters.

It can be seen that both in ancient times and now, demons and demons refer to some miscellaneous little demons. It is said that demons and demons specialize in eating beautiful women. Most of their appearance are characterized by tallness, red bodies, pointed ears, and long horns on their heads. Among the people, Legend has it that deep in the wilderness and uninhabited mountains, there are many ancient forests in the surrounding fields below the mountains. People who walk long distances, especially those who walk at night, often encounter mandrills, ghosts, demons, and monsters, all of which are transformed from wood, stone, birds, and beasts.

⑵ Legends about Emperor Yan and Huang

1. Legends about Huang Emperor:

According to legend, when the Yellow Emperor came to the throne, Chi You had 81 brothers, who were known as gods. Descendants of the Belt. These 81 people all have animal bodies and human faces, with bronze heads and iron foreheads. They do not contain grain and only eat river stones. They disobeyed the Yellow Emperor's orders, brutalized the common people, and killed innocent people. He also made military staffs, swords, and large crossbows to fight against the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor obeyed the will of the people and summoned soldiers and horses from various princes to attack Chiyou.

However, after 15 years, they still failed to defeat Chi You and had to retreat. For this reason, Huangdi was worried about Zhongzhong and hoped day and night for a sage to assist him in destroying Chiyou. One night, he dreamed of a strong wind blowing away the dirt in the world, and then he dreamed of a man holding a powerful crossbow and driving tens of thousands of sheep. After waking up, I felt strange. I thought to myself, the wind is responsible for giving orders; dirt is the soil that dissolves and becomes clear.

Is there anyone in the world with the surname Feng? The crossbow is a crossbow that can reach far distances, drives tens of thousands of sheep, and is a good shepherd. Isn't it possible for a person with the last name to be powerful and famous as a shepherd? So Huangdi sent his subordinates to search for these two people everywhere in the world. They found Fenghou in Haiyu and Limu by Zebian. Huangdi took Fenghou as his prime minister and Limu as his general, and began to attack Chiyou on a large scale. In the suburbs of Zhuolu, the two armies formed a battle formation.

During the battle, Chi You laid down a hundred miles of fog that lasted for three days and three nights, making it difficult for the soldiers to see the direction. The Yellow Emperor ordered Fenghou to build a compass. At the same time, the Queen Mother of the West also sent Xuannv. He came to teach him the secrets of the three palaces and the five-note strategy. Fenghou used it and evolved the method of Dunjia. After that, the two sides started fighting again in Jizhou.

Chiyou led the demons and demons, and asked Feng Bo and Yu Master to make wind and rain, and ordered Yinglong to store water to attack Huangdi. The Yellow Emperor invited the female tycoons from all over the world to stop the rain in the Eastern Wilderness, and Li Shiqiang soldiers from the mountains in the north drove Yinglong to the South Pole. Finally, Chi You was killed, but because Chi You was immortal, his body was divided and buried in various places, so that his body could not be completed.

After that, Yugang, the queen of Shennong, competed with the Yellow Emperor for the world. Huang Di used the Zhou birds osprey and trembling eagle as flags, and used bears, black tigers and leopards as the vanguard, and fought with Yugang in the wilderness of Banquan. After three battles, Yugang was defeated. Later, he personally led troops and horses to conquer the princes on all sides who refused to surrender. After 52 battles before and after, the world was finally unified.

2. Legends about Emperor Yan:

The Jiang clan is a branch of the Xirong clan. They were originally nomadic people and entered the Central Plains from the West very early. At that time, at the junction of today's Shaanxi and Henan, there lived the Jiuli ethnic group (some say it was the Miao ethnic group) headed by Chi You. The two sides had a long-term conflict due to the development of the tribe. Emperor Yan was defeated and retreated to Hebei Province.

It is said that because "Emperor Yan wanted to invade the princes", he later fought three fierce battles with the Yellow Emperor named Ji of the Xuanyuan clan. This is considered the first large-scale war of the Chinese nation and is called Banquan. Battle (Banquan, Banquan Village in Yanqing, a suburb of Beijing today).

The Yanhuang Alliance continued to expand, and more and more tribes submitted to it, but Chi You always refused to accept it, and a war was inevitable. Chi You led Jiuli and fought against the alliance in Zhuolu (today's Zhuolu Village, Hebei Province). This was the second war in the legendary era, called the Battle of Zhuolu. The so-called Zhuolu Central Plains originated from this.

In the end Chi You was defeated. From then on, the Jiang clan and Huangdi settled down in the Central Plains.

3. Legends about the Yellow Emperor:

It is said that he could speak dozens of days after he was born. He was quick-thinking as a boy, honest and capable as a youth, and smart and perseverant as an adult. The country was founded in Youxiong (Xinzheng, Henan), also known as the Youxiong family. At that time, Chiyou was tyrannical and unruly, annexing the princes. Emperor Yan, who invented farming and medicine and was the leader of the world at that time, had declined. Chiefs attacked each other, wars continued, and people were in ruins. Emperor Yan had no choice but to turn to Huangdi for help.

The Yellow Emperor resolutely shouldered the responsibility of stabilizing the world. The Yellow Emperor and Chi You fought in Zhuolu. The warriors on both sides fought bravely and fearlessly, and the battle was fierce. With the assistance of generals Fenghou and Limu, Huangdi finally captured Chiyou and executed him. The princes respected him as the Son of Heaven, replacing Emperor Yan and becoming the emperor of the world. Because of his auspiciousness, he was called the Yellow Emperor.

4. Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang: Battle of Banquan

After the Shennong clan, two major tribal alliances appeared in the Central Plains. In order to compete for living space and dominance among tribes, wars often occurred. In order to satisfy their own selfish desires, some tribal leaders "skilled themselves with swords and saws, and used armor and soldiers externally", and also launched wars to plunder wealth and enslave other clans and tribes.

This kind of war intensified social differentiation and posed a huge threat to normal agricultural production. However, the customary law of the clan system to regulate social conflicts had lost its effect at this time, and it seemed powerless to do so. Faced with the increasing number of wars, kinship tribes united with each other, formed alliances, and then formed larger coalitions.

The Yellow Emperor often attacked nearby tribes that were willing to surrender, and his power continued to expand. Emperor Yan also continued to expand his power, and the two major alliances finally broke out in conflict.

The two sides fought three battles in Banquan (today's Huailai, Hebei Province). The Yellow Emperor commanded the six clans of Xiong, Pi, Pi, Xiu and Hu to fight fiercely with the Yandi tribe. The Yandi tribe suffered a disastrous defeat and had to surrender.

Since the two tribes were related by blood, Huangdi did not massacre the Yandi tribe, but formed a tribal alliance with them, and Huangdi became the leader of the Yanhuang tribe alliance. After a long period of development, the Yanhuang tribal alliance formed the prototype of the Huaxia tribe in the future.

5. Legends about Emperor Yan:

Emperor Yan is a very loving god. When he was alive, the human population on the earth was proliferating, and the food produced by nature was no longer enough for people to eat. Therefore, the benevolent Emperor Yan taught humans how to sow grains, harvest grains, and use their hard work to exchange for everything they need in life. When he wanted to teach humans how to grow grains, many grain seeds fell from the sky.

He collected these grain seeds and sowed them on the reclaimed land. Once, he saw a red bird flying through the air with a nine-tasseled grass seedling in its beak. The grains on the ears fell to the ground, and Emperor Yan picked them up and planted them in the fields. After these grains grew, people ate them not only to satisfy their hunger, but also to live forever.

Since then, humans have had enough food, and their lives have been very stable. At that time, human beings worked together and helped each other. There were neither masters nor slaves. The fruits of people's harvest are distributed equally among everyone, and their relationship is as close as brothers and sisters. In order to allow mankind to live a happier life, Emperor Yan made the sun emit enough light and heat to make the grains grow.

Let people live in a bright and warm light. From then on, humans no longer had to worry about food and clothing. People were very grateful for Emperor Yan's kindness and respectfully called him "Shennong". At that time, Emperor Yan looked like a bull-headed man, which is probably inseparable from his contribution. Emperor Yan is not only the god of agriculture, but also the god of medicine. Because sunlight is the source of health. Emperor Yan had a divine whip, which was called the Zhe Whip.

He used this whip to whip various medicinal herbs. After the medicinal herbs were whipped with the ocher whip, various medicinal properties, whether poisonous or non-toxic, containing or containing heat, were naturally revealed. So, he treated people based on the different medicinal properties of these herbs. In order to be more sure of the medicinal properties, he personally tasted the herbs. In order to taste the medicine, he was poisoned more than 70 times in one day.

Once, he tasted a highly poisonous guttaste, and his intestines were broken. Emperor Yan saw that although humans had abundant food and clothing, they still had many inconveniences in life. So, he asked people to set up a trade market and exchange the things they needed with each other in the market. In the market, grains can be exchanged for animal skins or pearls can be exchanged for stone axes, etc. With this exchange, people's wealth becomes richer.

There were no clocks or other methods of recording time at that time, so how could we determine the time of exchange? People cannot put down their work and stay in the market all day long. Therefore, Emperor Yan wanted to teach people a method. When the sun shines on people's heads, they can trade in the market. After this period of time, everyone will leave automatically. When people implement it, they feel it is really simple and accurate.

Under his education, his descendants also made many contributions to mankind. For example, his great-grandson Chu made a target for archery; Gu and Ting made an instrument called a "bell". Later, through their efforts, the two of them composed many songs, which popularized music in the world.

⑶ The legend of the Yellow Emperor

Xuanyuan Huangdi is the earliest ancestor god in the legendary period of ancient Chinese history. After the formation of the Huaxia clan, he was recognized as the ancestor of the entire clan. In ancient times, the more advanced Huangdi tribe was formed in the Jishui area (i.e., the ancient Qijia cultural area between the Wei River in the east and the Huang River in the west to the present-day Shaanxi-Gansu-Qinghai territory). They were named after this outstanding ancestor. The Huangdi tribe and the Yandi tribe of the Jiang surname living in the Jiangshui area (which flows into the Weishui River near Qishan and Wugong in present-day Shaanxi Province) have intermarried with each other for generations. Later, one of the descendants of the Huangdi tribe entered the southwestern part of today's Shanxi Province and created the Xia culture, so they were called the Xia tribe. The Xia people entered the Central Plains and established the Xia Dynasty, the first dynasty in China.

The "Emperor Lineage" in "Guoyu·Jinyu" and "Shiben" and "Dadai Liji" all say that Huangdi was the son of Shaodian. "Historical Records: Anthology of the Five Emperors" says that the Yellow Emperor's "surname was Gongsun, his given name was Xuanyuan", and his country's name was "Youxiong". Various documents such as "Yi Xi Ci" and "Shi Ben Zuo Pian" all praise that there were many inventions and creations during the Yellow Emperor's period. Those related to production technology include drilling wells, making pestles and mortars, making bows and arrows, riding oxen and horses, driving, and making boats; those related to material life include making clothes, crowns, etc.; and those related to spiritual culture include making armor, Divination of the sun and moon, arithmetic, adjusting the calendar, making laws and instruments, playing the sheng and Yu, medicine, writing, etc. Of course, many of them are inventions created after the Yellow Emperor, but they also reflect the brilliant achievements of the Huangdi clan. "Warring States Policy? Qin Policy" records that Su Qin combined "Yellow Emperor defeated Zhuolu and poultry Chiyou" with Yao's defeat of Huandou, Shun's defeat of Sanmiao, Yu's defeat of Jianggong, Tang's defeat of Xia, and King Wu's defeat of Zhou, indicating that this was Huang Di's main achievements in his life. After conflicts, interactions and integration with other ethnic groups during the Xia and Zhou dynasties, the Huangdi tribe formed a unified Huaxia tribe during the Warring States period. Legend has it that Emperor Xuanyuan moved around the Juci and Qishan areas of Yuzhou after he entered the Central Plains, leaving behind a large number of monuments and touching legends here. For example, at the military training ground in Dahongzhai, the Cangbing Cave, the Xiudao Temple in Xiaoyaoguan area, and the Sanjia Village where he bid farewell to his ministers. And most of his ministers' fiefdoms were in this area. For example, Fenghou's fiefdom was Fenghouding, Limu's fiefdom was called Li Ranch, Fang Lei's fiefdom was called Dishan, Yong's fiefdom was Yongcheng, and the place where he met Da Kui and Guang Chengzi, etc. Therefore, Yuzhou is also called the hometown of the Yellow Emperor in historical records. The first slavery dynasty established by his descendant Xia Yu was in Xia (now Yuzhou), the fiefdom of Dayu. Therefore, Yuzhou is also known as the "First Capital of China".

⑷ The story of Yellow Emperor is short

Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, the head of the Five Emperors, the leader of the ancient Chinese tribal alliance, and the leader of the Chinese nation in ancient China. According to legend, Huangdi was the son of Shaodian and Fubao. His original surname was Gongsun, but he later changed his surname to Ji, so he was called Ji Xuanyuan.

He lived on the hill of Xuanyuan, named Xuanyuan clan, and established his capital in Youxiong. In history, the Yellow Emperor had the great achievement of "unifying the Chinese tribes and conquering the Dongyi and Jiuli tribes to unify China". During his reign, he "sowed hundreds of grains and vegetation, vigorously developed production, and began to make clothes and hats, build boats and chariots, make music and music, and create medicine." Waiting for political achievements.

It is said that Huangdi created the "Huangdi Neijing", also known as the "Inner Canon", which is one of the earliest classics in China and the first of the four classics of traditional Chinese medicine. According to legend, it was written by the Yellow Emperor, hence its name.

(4) Extended reading of the story of the Yellow Emperor:

The Yellow Emperor is revered as the "ancestral ancestor of China".

Liu Yimou commented that the Huangdi era was the most prosperous era before the flood: "From the time of the Sui people to the Tang and Yu floods, although there is no exact number of years, it can be measured by imagination, at least it should not be counted. Thousands of years ago. Therefore, if you look at their production together, you will be surprised by the number of ancient saints; if you divide them according to their periods, you will see the crudeness of the early people. It can be imagined simply.

By the time of the Yellow Emperor, the sages flourished, and palaces, clothes, boats and chariots, bows and arrows, documents, pictures, laws and calendars, and arithmetic were all created together before the flood. It was the most prosperous time. "The Huaxia tribe gradually formed during the Huangdi and Yandi periods, so they are both regarded as the common ancestors of the Chinese nation, so the Chinese call themselves "descendants of Yan and Huang"

We are descendants of Yan and Huang. , the Yellow Emperor’s contribution to our Chinese nation is undeniable. This also fully reflects that as descendants of Yan and Huang, we respect and admire our ancestors! I will share with you the culture and legends of the Yellow Emperor in the four places!

⑸ The Story of the Yellow Emperor

It is said that one spring, a girl met the Yellow Emperor while raising silkworms in the mulberry garden. Huang Di saw that she was wearing a golden dress, shining with a soft and gentle yellow light, and there were a pile of silkworm cocoons on the ground. Huangdi asked the girl what she was wearing, and the girl told her how to plant mulberry, raise silkworms, and draw silk to weave silk. After Huangdi heard this, he remembered that people were still living a life of wearing leaves in summer and animal skins in winter, with no clothes on all year round. He felt that this was a great invention that could allow people to wear clothes to keep out the cold. He married the girl and asked her to teach the officials and people the techniques of raising mulberry trees and raising silkworms.

This girl was Leizu, Huangdi's official concubine. Huangdi was already in his thirties at that time.

After the Yellow Emperor made Leizu his concubine, Leizu organized a large number of women to go to the mountains to raise mulberry trees, raise silkworms and weave silk. But soon we encountered a big problem. We raised a lot of silkworms and produced a lot of cocoons, but we had difficulties in drawing silk and weaving silk. At this time, a short, dark-skinned, and ugly woman among the group of girls invented the spinning wheel for winding silk and the loom for weaving silk. When Huangdi learned about it, he greatly appreciated the invention and asked her to teach her skills to everyone. Later, with the help of Lei Zu, Huang Di married this ugly girl as his second concubine. This second concubine was respectfully called Mom by future generations.

⑹ About the story of Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang

The great contribution of Huang Emperor in his life was that after fifty-three battles, he defeated Yu Zeng, surrendered Emperor Yan, killed Chi You, ended the war, and unified He defeated the three major tribes, bid farewell to the barbaric era, and established the first country in the world with an independent ruler. Human civilization began from then on, so later generations of people respectfully call Emperor Xuanyuan the "first ancestor of humanities" and "the ancestor of civilization." . When he died in 2599 BC, the throne was passed to his grandson Emperor Zhuanxu, followed by Emperors Ku, Yao, and Shun. These four people and the Yellow Emperor are called the Five Emperors, so the Yellow Emperor is the head of the Five Emperors.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and until now, we all call ourselves the descendants of Yan and Huang. Whether it is the Yan Emperor or the Yellow Emperor, they are equally worthy of our gratitude and respect. The Emperor tribe and the Yellow Emperor tribe continue to Developed and slowly formed the Huaxia clan. Therefore, Chinese people often call themselves descendants of Yan and Huang.

⑺ The deeds and legends of the Yellow Emperor

1. The legend of the God of War

One night, he dreamed that the strong wind blew away the dirt in the world. Then I dreamed of a man holding a powerful crossbow and driving tens of thousands of sheep.

The Yellow Emperor is revered as the "ancestor of China"

Liu Yimou commented that the Yellow Emperor's era was the most prosperous era before the flood: "From the Sui people to the Tang and Yu floods, its Although there is no exact number of years, it should be at least several thousand years old. Therefore, if you look at their production together, you will be surprised by the number of ancient sages; if you divide them according to their periods, you will see the crudeness of the early people.

By the time of the Yellow Emperor, saints flourished, and palaces, clothes, boats and chariots, bows and arrows, documents, pictures, etc. Laws, calendars, and arithmetic began to be combined. Therefore, before the flood, the time of the Yellow Emperor was actually the most prosperous."
