Brief introduction of China mythical figure Yan Di

Yan Di and the Yellow Emperor are the ancestors of the Chinese nation. "Mandarin Today" contains: "In the past, the marriage was especially high when you were young, and you gave birth to the Yellow Emperor and Yan Di. The Yellow Emperor took Jishui (now Qishui River in Wugong County, Shaanxi Province) as the system, and the Yan Emperor took Jiang Shui (now Qingjiang River in Baoji City, Shaanxi Province) as the system. Merits are different, so the Yellow Emperor is discipline, not ginger. The two emperors used teachers to help each other, and the principle of virtue and difference was also. " This is the earliest historical record of the birthplace of Yanhuang in China. Therefore, they are two similar tribal leaders, both of whom originated in the Weihe River basin in central Shaanxi. Later, the two tribes fought for territory and launched the battle of Hanquan. Huangdi defeated Yandi, and the two tribes gradually merged into Huaxia nationality, which was called Han nationality after Han and Tang Dynasties. Yan Di and the Yellow Emperor are also the ancestors of China's culture and technology. It is said that they and their courtiers and descendants created almost all the important inventions in ancient times.

The legendary leader of the Jiang tribe, also known as, is the ancestor of the peasant clan. Emperor Yan was born in Lishan, and Emperor Huang, the ancestor of Xuanyuan, was born in Jishui. As early as 2700 years ago, there was a conclusion in the Spring and Autumn Period. Emperor Yan was born in a stone room in a mountain and grew up in Jiang Shui. He was virtuous and respected by fire, so he was named Emperor Yan. Emperor Yan is few and wise. He can talk for three days, walk for five days and understand crops for three years. He has done many good things for the people in his life: teaching people to farm and making them well fed; In order to protect people from getting sick, he tasted all kinds of medicinal materials, so that he was poisoned 70 times a day. He also made musical instruments to make people understand etiquette, which was praised by later generations. According to historical records and other ancient books, Emperor Yan's surname is "Yi Jian" and his name is Stone Mill. My mother is Gillian's daughter named Nudeng, a young princess. Give birth to Emperor Yan. Than long, it is called' Jiang'. According to the "Outline" and other records: "Emperor Yan ruled the world with fire virtue instead of Fuxi, whose vulgarity is more important than the end, rich but not contending, obedient to the people but not ordering, strong but not killing, frugal but not annoying, so it is from the toes in the south, to the secluded capital in the north, to the intestines valley in the east and to the three dangers in the west." "Yue Jue Shu" said: "In the past, Shennong ruled the world, and it has benefited, so I don't want to report it; Not greedy for the wealth of the world, but the wealth of the world; Don't pretend to be smart, but the world respects it. " Yan Di's legendary surname is Jiang, who was born in Lishan (now Lishan, Sui County, Hubei Province) and grew up in Jiang Shui. According to legend, he is a clan leader with a cow head and a sheep as the leader, and now he is a Qiang (a descendant of the dragon). This clan first lived in the Jiang Shui Valley, now the Qingjiang Valley in Baoji City, and later entered the middle reaches of the Yellow River, where there was a long-term conflict with the Jiuli nationality. The leader of the Jiuli nationality is Chiyou, a beast with a human face and a beast's heart, a bronze head, an iron neck, horns on its head, hair on its ears as hard as a halberd, and capable of eating sand and stones. It may be a clan with some kind of beast as its totem. He has eighty-one brothers, that is, eighty-one clans, and he is a powerful clan tribe that is brave and good at fighting. Chiyou expelled Emperor Yan to Zhuolu (now Sanggan River basin in northwest Hebei), and Emperor Yan asked the Yellow Emperor for help. The two sides fought in Zhuolu. Chiyou invited the rain master in Fengbo to make trouble, and the soldiers got lost in the fog. The Yellow Emperor invited Nu Wa, the god of drought, to clean up the weather and built a "south guide car" to tell the direction. The result of this fierce battle was that Chiyou failed and was killed. The Yellow Emperor won the victory and was elected as the "son of heaven". Historians are increasingly supporting another view that jiyan is a kind of kindness like the Yellow Emperor, while Yan Di's family has lived in Jiang Shui in the Weihe River basin for generations. In the later period, Shennong tribe took charge of Yan Di, while Gongsun tribe of Huangdi rose in Jishui of Weihe River basin. At this time, the Shennong tribe was unable to conquer the world, and the Yellow Emperor began to conquer the princes and accumulate strength. In Hanquan, Zhuolu (Hebei) fought against Shennong in Yan Di. Huangdi was able to order the princes of the world to exile Emperor Shennong in southern Chu, but the southern Chiyou tribe, which did not obey the orders of Huangdi, was originally a subordinate of Emperor Shennong, threatening to avenge Emperor Yandi, calling the people to fight against Huangdi, defeating him several times, and finally being defeated and killed by Huangdi with tricks. Later, the Yellow Emperor put down the rebellion of the rest of Chiyou to cultivate farmland, and finally unified the whole country, taking into account the reputation of Emperor Yan.
