Xinzheng, Henan Province has the "hometown of the Yellow Emperor". What is the historical basis?
Henan is the hometown of Xuanyuan Huangdi, the ancestor of Chinese civilization, located in xinzheng city, Henan Province. Since ancient times, people have always regarded Henan as the central hinterland of the country, and Xinzheng is the center of this center. If Luoyang, the ancient capital of the Nine Dynasties, Kaifeng, seven dynasties and Xuchang, the capital of the Three Kingdoms, are connected into a triangle, Xinzheng is right in the middle. Facing the map of the world, we can also see that Xinzheng is located at 34-35 north latitude, which is about equivalent to the latitude where Babylon lives, slightly higher than Egypt and India.

Babylon lies in the Mesopotamian plain formed by the Tigris and Euphrates rivers and their alluvial deposits, Egypt lies in the Nile Delta, India lies in the Ganges River basin, and the Central Plains of China centered on Xinzheng is supported by the Yellow River, the mother river of the Chinese nation, and the loess plains on both sides. "One side's soil and water nurture one side's people", and one side's soil and water also nurture one side's culture. It is no accident that ancient human civilization sprouted in these places with mild climate and fertile soil and water. Xuanyuan Huangdi was born, lived and established his capital here, and fought in the north and south with this as the center, completing the great cause of China's reunification and creating 5,000 years of Chinese civilization. Huangdi, surnamed Gongsun, named Xuanyuan, has a bear. He is the second son of Shaodian, the leader of the bear tribe.

Born in the hill of Xuanyuan (now Beiguan, xinzheng city, Henan), he was named "Xuanyuan". When the Yellow Emperor was young, he was very clever. When he came of age, he was very knowledgeable. So he inherited his father's little code and was appointed as the leader of Xiong Min tribe, so he was also called Xiong. More than 5,000 years ago, there were thousands of clans and tribes in the Central Plains centered on the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. At first, Yan Di tribes were powerful and had the most prestige. All tribes obey his orders and live together. In the era of the Yellow Emperor, the tribes in Yan Di declined. Tribes are constantly generating friction, which Emperor Yan can't stop, and people's lives are restless.

Xiu De, the Yellow Emperor, organized troops to promote peace and friendship among tribes with morality, and conquered violence with force to stop aggression. In view of the prestige of the Yellow Emperor, many tribes began to understand and rely on obedience. At that time, Emperor Yan invaded the surrounding tribes, and the Yellow Emperor defeated Emperor Yan in three wars, making him surrender to himself. At this time, Chiyou made a mess. When other tribes heard that Chiyou was coming, they fled in succession. Emperor Yan fought with him and lost the game, so he led the tribe to Zhuolu and asked the Yellow Emperor for help.

Huangdi personally led the tribe and fought Chiyou nine times, but he couldn't win. So he combined six tribes with bear, black, appearance and tiger totems to make chariots in Zhuolu countryside, and used the "eight arrays of art of war" to kill and kill. Chiyou was defeated and fled to Jizhong, where he was captured and killed by Ying Long, the general of the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor pacified Chiyou and became famous. All the tribes admired him and unanimously supported him to become the leader of the tribal alliance. From then on, the two tribes of Yanhuang gradually merged into one.

After the unification of clans and tribes of all ethnic groups, leaders of all ethnic groups were convened in Busan (now Huailai East, Hebei Province) to celebrate the peace of the world and "live in the wild of Zhuolu" to rest their soldiers and raise their lives. Later, for the sake of clan safety, he led the clan back to his hometown, "Everyone has a bear" (now Xinzheng, Henan). At the same time, it toured all over the world, initially established the scale of China, and made China one of the "four ancient civilizations in the world", thus being honored as the ancestor of Chinese civilization.
