The background of the outbreak of Zhuolu War

In order to compete for the Central Plains suitable for grazing and shallow farming, the Huangdi tribe joined forces with the Yan Di tribe and launched a great war with Chiyou, which was called the Battle of Zhuolu in history. This war had a great influence on the transformation of ancient Chinese people from ancient times to civilized times. Background: After the war of Hanquan, Records of the Five Emperors recorded: "Chiyou made an insurrection without the command of the emperor. The Yellow Emperor recruited vassals and fought Chiyou in the land of Zhuolu." The record of the battle of Zhuolu is much richer than that of Hanquan, and the earliest one is Yizhoushu Taste Wheat.

"Yesterday, at the beginning of the day, after the second birthday, it was established, and it was ordered to be divided into two Qing, and Chiyou was ordered to be there, so that it was attacked on all sides. Chiyou is the emperor, fighting for Zhuolu, and the nine angles are clear. Chi Di's taboo was attributed to the Yellow Emperor. He held Chiyou hostage and killed him in Jizhong. He vented his anger with Jiabing, followed the emperor with great wisdom and thought in sequence, and used the name of "wild". He was appointed as an official of the five emperors of the Qing Dynasty in Shao Hao, hence the name "Quality". The sky is full of success. As for today, it is not chaotic. " What happened: Chiyou led the Jiuli tribe of 8 1 clan to the west and entered the distribution area of Huaxia Group.

The target may also be central Henan, because the first one is Emperor Yan, who lives in eastern Henan. According to legend, he was born in Chen. The tribal alliance led by Chiyou is slightly higher than Huaxia Group in productivity, excellent in weapons, brave and invincible, thus leaving the reputation of "bronze head and iron forehead" and "sublime world". Yan Di tribes were unable to resist and fell one after another. Under the sweeping of the Chiyou army, they lost all their homes, not even a corner left. Based on the principle of helping each other in the same boat, Yan Di turned to the Yellow Emperor for help, which triggered the battle of Zhuolu.

The battle of Zhuolu is different from the battle of Hanquan. It was a struggle between two tribes, so it was fierce and left many myths and legends. For example, the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou were invincible in nine battles, and Chiyou was foggy for three days and three nights. After the wind, the minister of the Yellow Emperor invented the compass under the inspiration of the Beidou constellation, and then rushed out of the fog. It is also said that the Yellow Emperor got help from Xuan Nv in his predicament and made an eighty-sided leather drum. Wei Xiao is a god beast in the East China Sea, "shaped like an ox, pale and hornless", "when entering the water, there will be stormy waves, and the light will be like the sun and the moon, and the sound will be like thunder".

In the dark, the Yellow Emperor used his own skin and Lei Shou's bones as drumsticks, saying, "I heard it's 500 Li, so that he can dominate the world." . The war between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou lasted for a long time, and the final decisive battle took place in the wilderness of Jizhou. Shan Hai Jing and Bei Ye Jing describe a legend, "Some people wear clothes in Tsing Yi, and they are called the Yellow Emperor Nuwa. Chiyou fought against the Yellow Emperor, who made Ying Long attack the wild land of Jizhou. Ying Long livestock water, Chiyou please Fengbo rain division, longitudinal wind and rain. Emperor Huangdi said that when the rain stopped, he killed Chiyou. I can't go back, and it doesn't rain. "

Reflected in the process of fighting, the two sides first adopted the practice of wizards, hoping to conquer each other with the help of natural forces. The Yellow Emperor summoned winged Ying Long livestock water to drown Chiyou's army, and Chiyou also invited Fengbo and Rain Master to help. At this time, the Yellow Emperor's army was in trouble again. The situation was urgent, so the Yellow Emperor had to let his daughter take shelter from the wind and rain. The weather suddenly cleared up and he died. The victory of the Yellow Emperor was hard-won, but after the victory, he encountered many new difficulties.

Nu Wa, the goddess of drought, not only stopped the great decrease of divine power after heavy wind and rain, but also "was not allowed to recover". After Ying Long entered the war, it was also "no restoration" and "no rain" in the sky, which made the land suffer from severe drought for several years.
