How did the era of the Five Emperors begin? What are the five emperors? In which period?

Before the Five Emperors, there were tens of thousands of tribes, and the leader of each tribe was a hero of his own tribe.

In order to defeat each other, tribes joined forces and killed each other. Finally, several tribal alliance groups were formed, and several great heroes appeared.

From the history books, the most famous of these heroes are Emperor Yan, Huangdi, Zhuan Xu, Gong Gong and the ancient Shu monarch in the southwest of Qing 'an. You fight with me, and finally you solve the problem with war. The most capable, of course, is the five emperors. Whoever disobeys, the Five Emperors send troops to beat him until everyone listens.

Legend has it that the Yellow Emperor and Yan Di are brothers. Their father, Shao Dian, was an ancient emperor. He married the Gaos and gave birth to Huang Heyan. When they come of age, they become the leaders of their respective tribes.

Huangdi Xuanyuan lived in Qishan, Shaanxi, and Yandi Shennong ruled Weishui.

With the continuous expansion of Yan Di's territory, he gradually entered the territory of Dongyi Group, whose leader is Chiyou.

There was a war between Emperor Yan and Chiyou. Chiyou defeated Emperor Yan with a large number of soldiers and advanced weapons. Emperor Yan was weak and had to retreat.

Then Emperor Yan asked his brother Huangdi for help. The Yellow Emperor led the allied forces of various tribes and launched a long-term battle with Chiyou. Both sides win and lose.

Legend has it that Chiyou has eighty-one brothers with bronze heads, which may reflect that Chiyou's army has been equipped with metal armor. Some documents mentioned that Chiyou smelt metal as a weapon, which was in line with the development of metallurgy at that time.

The final decisive battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou was the famous "Battle of Zhuolu". The fighting was extremely fierce. It is said that the weather conditions in the war have a great influence on their respective situations, and may also involve witchcraft activities such as asking for rain and blocking rain in ancient times, and the Yellow Emperor has actually invented the "south guide car", which is an invention with important cultural significance! In the end, the Yellow Emperor tried his best to defeat Dongyi in Jizhong and kill Chiyou.

After the Yellow Emperor killed Chiyou, he controlled most parts of the Central Plains, and had a contradiction with Yan Di Group, which also wanted to develop in the Central Plains, so there was the famous "Sakamoto Battle" of Yanhuang (about Baoding and Cixian in Hebei). Besides being a Qiang Bing, the Yellow Emperor also sent a "Xiong Wei"? Tigers and other wild animals help totem tribes. "Three wars, and then get it." Finally, the Yellow Emperor defeated Yan Di, and Yan Di Group finally had to retreat to the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.

The Five Emperors era is the first millennium of China's 5,000-year history. Which five emperors do the "five emperors" refer to? It's always been inconsistent. Some said Huangdi, Zhuan Xu, Di Ku and Yao Shun, some said Huangdi, * *, Gong, Pi and Shao Pi, some said Huangdi, Zhuan Xu, Di Ku, Shao Pi and some said Fuxi, Shennong, Huangdi and Yao Shun. We can put these aside for a while.

In fact, the "Five Emperors" is not a real reference. Just remember that it is a symbol of the times in the process of China's ancient society changing from a clan society with public ownership to a class society with private ownership.
