Introduction to Emperor Yan

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 Yan emperors in the tribe named Jiang. Shennong gave birth to Emperor Kui, Emperor Kui gave birth to Ming Di, Ming Di gave birth to Emperor Zhi, Mao gave birth to Mao, and Mao mourned and gave birth to Emperor Ke.

Ke Sheng Di Yu Wang has been dead 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.

Yan Di tribes live in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. When it was in Jiangshui, the tribe began to prosper. At first, it set its capital in Chen Di, and later it moved the capital to Qufu. According to legend, Emperor Yan is the head of a cow. He personally tasted herbs and developed a method to treat diseases with herbs.

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. People in China (not just the Han nationality) call themselves descendants of the Chinese people.

Taking Yan Di and Huangdi * * as the earliest ancestors of the Chinese nation's humanities has become the spiritual driving force of the Chinese nation's United struggle. Emperor Yan was honored by Taoism as Shennong, also known as Wuyi Shennong.

The story of Emperor Yan:

Emperor Yan, the sun god, is a great god who appeared on earth a few years after Nu Wa ascended to heaven. He and his great-great-grandson, Vulcan Zhu Rong * * * ruled the southern part of Fiona Fang 12000 miles and dominated the life in the south.

Emperor Yan is a very loving god. When he was alive, there were too many births on the earth, and there was not enough food produced naturally. Therefore, the benevolent Emperor Yan taught mankind how to sow and harvest grain.

Trade your own efforts for everything you need in life. When he wanted to teach mankind to grow grain, many grains fell from the sky. He collected these grains and planted them on the reclaimed land.

Once, he saw a red-covered bird flying through the air with a nine-eared seedling in its mouth. The grains on the ear fell to the ground, and Emperor Yan picked them up and planted them in the field. When these grains are planted, people can not only satisfy their hunger.

You can live forever. Since then, human beings have had enough food and lived a very stable life. At that time, human beings cooperated and helped each other. There are neither masters nor slaves. The fruits of people's harvest are equally distributed, and their feelings are as close as brothers and sisters.

In order to make mankind live a happier life, Emperor Yan made the sun emit enough light and heat, let the grains grow, and let people live in bright and warm light. Since then, human beings have no worries about food and clothing.

People are so grateful for Yan Di's kindness that they call him "Shennong". At that time, Emperor Yan looked like a bull's head, which was probably inseparable from his contribution. Emperor Yan is not only the god of agriculture, but also the god of medicine.

Because sunshine is the source of health. Emperor Yan had a whip called the ochre whip. He whipped various herbs with this whip. After being whipped by a whip, the medicinal properties of herbs, toxic, non-toxic, containing or hot, naturally appear.

So he treats diseases according to the different properties of these herbs. In order to further confirm the medicinal properties, he also tasted the herbs himself. In order to taste the medicine, I was poisoned more than 70 times in one day. Once, he took a bite of the highly toxic Lysimachia christinae, and his intestines were rotten.

Emperor Yan saw that although human beings have plenty of food and clothing, there are still many inconveniences in life. Therefore, he asked people to establish a trade market and exchange what they needed. In the market, grain can be exchanged for hides and pearls for stone axes.

With this exchange, people's wealth is more abundant. There were no clocks at that time, and there were no other ways to record time. Why do you want to determine the exchange time? People can't put down their work and stay in the market all day.

Therefore, Emperor Yan should teach people a way to trade in the market when the sun shines on people's heads. After this period of time, everyone left automatically. People feel really simple and accurate when they realize it.

Under his education, his descendants have also made many contributions to mankind. For example, his great-grandson made an arrow target for archery; Drum and Ting made a musical instrument called "Zhong". Later, the two of them worked hard to create many songs, which made music popular all over the world.
