Does Chiyou really exist in the history of China? Look, I'm serious!

Chiyou is real. In ancient times, Chiyou led Jiuli clan tribe to develop agriculture, smelt copper and iron, train five ways, create all kinds of skills, learn from foreigners and rationally educate in this central plains area, which made outstanding contributions to the formation of early Chinese civilization. The border area between Henan, Shandong and Hebei is called "the capital of nine miles".

In Zhuolu County, Hebei Province, there are relics such as Chiyou Tomb, Huangdi Spring (Hanquan), Chiyou Sanzhai, Chiyou Spring, Bagua Village, Dingchetai, Chiyou Blood-stained Mountain, Tatu, Shangxiaqiqi and Qiao Shan.

It is said that Chiyou fought against Emperor Yan and later defeated Emperor Yan. So Yandi and Huangdi teamed up with the enemy Chiyou. Chiyou led 81 brothers to wage a fierce battle with the Yellow Emperor in Zhuolu. Legend has it that Chiyou has eight legs, three heads and six arms, a bronze head and an iron forehead, and is invulnerable. He is good at fighting with knives, axes and swords. He is immortal and brave.

The Yellow Emperor was unable to defeat the enemy, so he asked the gods to help him break it. It was dark and bloody. Chiyou was killed by the Yellow Emperor, beheaded and buried, and his head turned into a blood maple forest. After the Yellow Emperor, Chiyou was honored as the "Lord of Soldiers", that is, the God of War. His brave image is still frightening. The Yellow Emperor painted his image on the military flag to encourage his army to fight bravely. When the ministers saw Chiyou, they surrendered without fighting.
