The leaders of ancient Jiang tribes in China were honored as Shennong, Wei Xiao, Lianshan and Lieshan, and Zhu Xiang, posthumous title (it is still controversial, and it is also said that three generations of leaders of Zhu Xiang tribe were honored).
Legend has it that the leader of this tribe is called Jiang. Because he knows how to use fire to get the throne, he is called Emperor Yan. Since Shennong, there have been nine generations of Yandi, who gave birth to Wei Xiao, Ming Di, Zhidi, Taizu, Aidi and Kedihe, which have been passed down for 530 years.
Yan Di lived in the Neolithic Age. At present, there are six disputes about Yan Di's hometown: Baoji in Shaanxi, Lianshan in Huitong, Hunan, Yanling in Zhuzhou, Hubei Suizhou, Gaoping in Shanxi and zhecheng county in Henan. Tribal activities in Yan Di are in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, in Jiang Shui (now Qingjiang in Weibin District of Baoji City, now Qishan County of Baoji City). ) Tribes began to prosper in this area. At first, their capital was in Chen Di, and later they moved to Qufu.
According to legend, Emperor Yan is the head of a cow. He personally tasted hundreds of herbs and developed herbs to treat diseases. He invented slash-and-burn cultivation and created two kinds of agricultural tools to teach people to reclaim land and grow food crops; He also led the tribal people to make pottery and cookers for food.
Legend has it that Yan Di Tribe later formed an alliance with Huangdi Tribe, and * * * defeated Chiyou.
People in China (not only the Han nationality) call themselves descendants of the Yellow Emperor, and regard Yandi and Huangdi as the earliest ancestors of the Chinese nation's humanities, which has become the spiritual driving force for the Chinese nation's United struggle.
