Yanhuang legend

Legend has it that more than 4,000 years ago, there lived many clan tribes in the Yangtze River and Yellow River basins in China, among which the most famous were Huangdi tribe, Yan Di tribe and Chiyou tribe. Huangdi tribe lived in the northwest of Shaanxi Province today, then moved eastward, and finally settled in the mountainous area around Zhuolu in Hebei Province, leading a nomadic life.

Yan Di tribe is active in Shaanxi from Weihe River basin to the middle reaches of the Yellow River. The Chiyou tribe, also known as the "Jiuli nationality", lives in the eastern part of China, that is, today's Shandong and Henan. During the interaction of these three tribes, several major wars took place in the northern part of Hebei Province today. ?

After the Yan Di tribe entered the middle reaches of the Yellow River from the Weihe River basin, it had a long-term conflict with the Chiyou tribe. After being defeated by Chiyou, Emperor Yan fled to Zhuolu, Hebei Province, and took refuge in Huangdi tribe. Later, the two tribes joined forces to fight Chiyou in Zhuolu. Chiyou was defeated and killed by Huangdi tribe, and Huangdi won. This is the famous "Battle of Zhuolu" in history books. ?

The Yellow Emperor adopted a policy of appeasement to the members of Chiyou tribe, and the members of Chiyou tribe who stayed in the north joined the Yanhuang tribe. When other tribes heard that Chiyou had died, they all worshipped the Yellow Emperor. Everyone supported him to be the son of heaven, and the Yellow Emperor built his capital in Zhuolu.

After defeating Chiyou, the Yan Di tribe fought for hegemony, and there was a big conflict with the Huangdi tribe. Two tribes, Yan Di and Huangdi, fought another war in Hanquan (now Huailai, Hebei Province). As a result, Yan Di was defeated and surrendered to the Huangdi tribe.

Later, their descendants developed from Hebei to the south, entered the Yellow River basin and settled in the Central Plains. After living together for a long time, * * * multiplied together and merged with each other, and * * * together formed the ancient residents in the Central Plains of China, laying a historical foundation for the later Chinese people.
