What is the relationship between the Yellow Emperor and Zhuan Xu?

Zhuan Xu is the grandson of the Yellow Emperor.

Zhuan Xu (zhuān xū) (2342- 2245 BC) was the leader of the ancient tribal alliance in China, one of the "Five Emperors", surnamed Ji, named Levin, grandson of the Yellow Emperor and son of Changyi. Zhuan Xu gave birth to Yu Shun's fifth ancestor, Qiong Chan.

Zhuan Xu was born in the wild land of Ruoshui (the land of Shu), but it is virtual. He was named the prefect of Levin (now Levin Town, Qixian County, Kaifeng City, Henan Province) for his meritorious service in assisting Shao Hao. After Shao Hao's death, Gong Gong's family competed with Zhuan Xu for the throne, and Zhuan Xu defeated Gong Gong, who was named "Lai's family" after Shao Hao came to power. After Zhuan Xu became the co-owner of the world, he was poor at first, then moved to Shangqiu (now Shangqiu, Henan Province) and then lived in Diqiu (now Puyang, Henan Province).

After the death of Zhuan Xu, Gao Xin (Di Ku) and Xiao Xuan (Shao Hao), the great grandchildren of the Yellow Emperor, succeeded to the throne. Zhuan Xu has become one of the two major systems under the Yellow Emperor system alongside Di Ku, and is one of the co-founders of the Chinese nation.

Extended data

History shows that the Yellow Emperor was named after his virtue. The great achievements of the Yellow Emperor in unifying Chinese tribes and conquering Dongyi and Jiuli nationalities go down in history. During the reign of the Yellow Emperor, he planted hundreds of crops and plants, vigorously developed production, and began to make clothes, build ships and cars, make music and create medicine.

In history, the Yellow Emperor had twenty-five sons, fourteen of whom were given surnames under the feudal system. The monarchs of Shao Hao, Zhuan Xu, Di Ku, Tang Yao, Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties were all descendants of the Yellow Emperor. Most of these descendants broke away from the matriarchal family of Huangdi during the period from Huangdi to Yao, Shun and Yu, and established a large number of clan countries or tribes with independent surnames.

Later, () the Zhou Dynasty from eastern Shaanxi to the Central Plains was established, and vassals or countries were enfeoffed, including 53 countries with the surname of Ji, with the country as the surname, thus forming most surnames of China, and China people called themselves "descendants of the Chinese people" or "descendants of the Chinese people".
