What is the story of riding a dragon to heaven?

Because of the outstanding contribution of the Yellow Emperor, the legend about him will be passed down from generation to generation.

God-given book

Xuanyuan Huangdi was named Gongsun and Xuanyuan. Because the soil is yellow and can produce products, it is called the Yellow Emperor. He fought against Chiyou, built dragons, unified tribes in the Central Plains and established tribal alliances. He also made clothes with his subjects, built ships and cars, and served silkworms; Set up arithmetic, control temperament, create medicine, invent compass, etc. Make the country prosperous and the people safe. Legend has it that on one occasion, it was foggy and dark for three days and nights.

The Yellow Emperor asked the minister, "What do you think is going on?"

A minister said, "I heard that everything in the world is a warning from heaven." In this case, you must have been taught by heaven. You can't offend. "

The Yellow Emperor called the historian for divination, and all the tortoise shells used for divination were burned. The historian said to the Yellow Emperor, "I can't do divination. Ask the saints. "

The Yellow Emperor said, "I asked many people, but they didn't know what was going on."

After hearing this, the historian knelt down and said, "Tortoise shell can't go against God and reveal secrets, so it should be burned."

At this point, the fog has disappeared. The Yellow Emperor visited Luoshui by boat and suddenly saw a big fish with a book in its mouth. The Yellow Emperor was very surprised and ordered people to kill cows, sheep, pigs, dogs and chickens as sacrifices.

Suddenly, it rained heavily for seven days and nights. Finally, the big fish swam to the East China Sea, leaving his book behind. There is a "Dragon Map" in the Yellow River and a "Turtle Book" in Luoshui, which is the famous "Hutuluo Book". This book is written in red and was given to the Yellow Emperor by God. The Yellow Emperor held a ceremony to accept God's gift and governed the country according to the teaching in books. Since then, the Yellow Emperor's country has become more prosperous.

An admirable ending

In his later years, Huangdi ordered people to collect copper from the first mountain and cast a cauldron at the foot of Jingshan Mountain to commemorate his brilliant achievements in governing the world. After the bronze tripod was cast, a dragon hung down from the upper reaches of the sky to welcome the Yellow Emperor to heaven. At that time, his ministers were reluctant to leave the Yellow Emperor. Someone grabbed the long beard, and someone grabbed his boots and clothes. As a result, the long beard was broken and his boots were taken off. The Yellow Emperor or Lapras ascended to heaven. Now his clothes are buried in the Huangdi Mausoleum in Qiao Shan, huangling county, Shaanxi.
