Where did the war between the emperor and Chiyou take place?

Today, near Zhuolu, Hebei Province, the earliest battlefield recorded in China history, where the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou fought a decisive battle, ended in Chiyou's failure, establishing the final position of Huangdi Xuanyuan as the ancestor of China's humanities.

The battle of Zhuolu was a great battle between Huangdi and Yan Di about 4600 years ago. The purpose of the "war" is for both sides to compete for the Central Plains suitable for grazing and shallow farming. The battle of Zhuolu had a great influence on the transformation of ancient Chinese people from barbarism to civilization.

The influence of the battle of Zhuolu

1. After the battle of Zhuolu, the Yellow Emperor continued to win a total victory and conquered all directions, which had a great influence on the surrounding tribes. Many clans merged into the Chinese nation one after another, which made the Chinese nation grow stronger and gradually evolved into the Xia Dynasty in the future.

2. After the battle of Zhuolu, the power displayed by the Yellow Emperor deeply shocked the surrounding tribes, who dared not wage war easily. So for a while, many places were in a relatively peaceful stage, and the living environment of various tribes was basically stable, and they no longer wandered around. To a certain extent, it laid the foundation for the transformation of civilization from hunting to agriculture, and made a great leap in social productivity at that time.

3. Militarily, as the first large-scale tribal war in the Middle Ages, the Yan-Huang allied forces fought a classic battle against the powerful Chiyou tribe, in which the military talents of the Yellow Emperor were widely concerned and played a very important role in the development of China's military literacy. This war can be said to have laid the tone for the Chinese nation.
