Is there really a Yellow Emperor in history? Is there a historical record? Or fiction?

(Yellow Emperor; Huangdi; Mauslleum) and Emperor Yan are also called the ancestors of the Chinese nation. At present, it is recognized by academic circles that the Yellow Emperor was born in Xiong (now Xinzheng, Henan) and buried in Qiao Shan (huangling county, Shaanxi). International leaders have visited the two places many times! Since ancient times, there has been a saying in China that ancestor worship goes to Xinzheng and ancestor worship goes to Huangling. Legend has it that in ancient times, the country of the Chinese nation was the head of the five emperors. According to legend, the Yellow Emperor surnamed Gongsun was born in the hill of Xuanyuan, hence the name Xuanyuan. He grew up in Jishui, so he took Ji as his surname. Later, he established a country in Xiong You, so he was also called a master. He regards soil as king and soil as yellow, so he is called the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor is a legend in ancient history. The most wonderful story about him is the war between the Yellow Emperor and Yan Di and Chiyou. In the end, the Yellow Emperor won the victory and was acclaimed as the leader of the tribal alliance by all tribes. During the period of the Yellow Emperor, sericulture, boating, writing, temperament, medicine and arithmetic were all invented first and then developed. His contribution has been praised by later generations, and he is known as China's "ancestor of humanity".

According to historical records, the Yellow Emperor made many inventions in agricultural production, among which the farmland system was the main one. Before the Yellow Emperor, there were endless fields and countless fertile fields. In order to prevent disputes, the Yellow Emperor re-divided the whole country into "wells", with one in the middle as "public mu" and eight around as "private fields", which were cultivated by eight families, paid to the government and dug wells through soil. Farmland practices farming system, sowing 100 seeds in time, inventing Chu Jiu, opening up garden nurseries, planting fruits and vegetables, planting mulberry and sericulture, raising livestock and poultry, and grazing.

The Battle between Chiyou and Huangdi

There are three versions of the battle between Chiyou and Huangdi: First, after Huangdi defeated Yandi, he defeated Chiyou again to consolidate the throne, and the battle between Huangdi and Chiyou seems to be the aftermath of the battle of Huang Yan; On the other hand, Chiyou expelled Chi Di (Emperor Yan), Chi Di appealed to the Yellow Emperor, and the two emperors joined hands to kill Chiyou in Zhongji; Third, Chiyou attacked the Yellow Emperor as a soldier and was defeated and killed.

The first statement, such as A Record of the Five Emperors, says: "Xuanyuan is Xiu De's army, which is in charge of five qi and five techniques, caressing the people, moving around, and teaching bears to be brave tigers in order to fight against Emperor Yan in Sakamoto's wilderness. Fight three battles and win. Chiyou's insurrection does not require the life of the emperor. As a warlord, the Yellow Emperor fought against Chiyou in the land of Zhuolu, so he attached himself to killing Chiyou. Tai Shigong said that the Yellow Emperor's name was Xuanyuan, and the national name was Xiong Xuanyuan, which means car. It should refer to the name of the clan and its leader who invented the technology of making cars. For example, the technology of making farm tools is called Shennong, the technology of making fishing gear is called operator, and the technology of striking fire is called Suiren. There is the bear country. The "country" at that time was actually a tribe. Bear, Yi, Yi, raccoon, 【】 and tiger are the names of six animals, which should be the names of six clans in the bear tribe, or totems. Hanquan, water name, is in Yanqing County, Beijing today. Zhuolu, a mountain name, is located in Zhuolu County, Hebei Province, not far from Hanquan.

The second statement can be found in Yi Zhou Shu Taste Mai Jie: "Chiyou is chasing the emperor and fighting for the position of Zhuolu, and Chi Di is terrified. It is said that in the Yellow Emperor, Chiyou was killed by Zhongji. " It's called Guangping Land. The battle took place in the open area under Zhuolu Mountain, and the corner refers to the corner. "Nine" means a lot, not limited to eight plus one. "Jiujiao Qing" means that Chiyou expelled the Chi Di (jiyan) tribe without leaving a legacy. Emperor Ji refers to Jizhou in the Central Plains. Erya Dish: "Jizhou is called between two rivers". Guo Pu's Note: From Donghe to Xihe. At that time, the place where the Yellow River entered the sea was called Donghe, and the place south of Hetao was called Xihe. Note of Li Zhou Zhi Fang: "Zhengbeiyue Bingzhou" belongs to Taiyuan, Shanxi, Baoding and Zhengding, Hebei. "The Northeast is called Youzhou", which belongs to Beijing today. Ancient Jizhou is located in the south of seclusion and merger, south of Shanxi and southwest of Hebei. Legend has it that Chiyou was killed in Xiezhou, Yuncheng, Shanxi Province today.

The third argument, such as The Classic of Mountains and Seas, Huang Da North Classic, says: "Chiyou attacked the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor ordered Ying Long to attack the wild land of Jizhou. Livestock in Ying Long drink water. Chiyou asked Fengbo Rain God to make a big storm. Emperor Huangdi said that when the rain stopped, he killed Chiyou. Fengbo Rain Master is a wizard who is good at farming and meteorology of Chiyou tribe. Later, he became an agricultural meteorological god, and he set up a temple. He/kloc-gave a speech at the age of 0/8. " Han Feizi's Ten Years of Han Feizi said: "In the past, the Yellow Emperor put ghosts and gods on Mount Tai ... Chiyou was in front, Fengbo swept in, and the rain teacher sprinkled the road", which reflected the close relationship between the rain teacher in Fengbo and the Chiyou tribe, because the harvest department of agricultural tribes could not be separated from good weather.

It is impossible and unnecessary to examine right and wrong. For this prehistoric legend, which was circulated in Shanghai for thousands of years before it was recorded in books, historians pay attention to the historical shadow revealed in it; Ethnologists are concerned about the ethnic types, cultural characteristics and the formation and evolution of ethnic groups reflected in legends.

Myths and legends

Legend about the Yellow Emperor: It is said that he was born for dozens of days and can speak. He was alert as a teenager, honest and capable as a youth, and smart and decisive as an adult. When the People's Republic of China was founded (now Xinzheng, Henan Province), there was a bear named Xiong Ke. At that time, Emperor Yan, the main inventor of farming and medicine in the world, had declined. Chiefs attacked each other, and the Yellow Emperor clan rose. First, he fought against Emperor Yan in Zhuolu (Hanquan) and exiled him to the south. Then he fought against Chiyou, a subordinate of Emperor Yan, in Zhuolu (Hanquan), escaped and killed Chiyou, and then put down the resistance of the tribes such as Xingtianhe and Kuafu. Later, Emperor Yan was recalled from the south and the two tribes of Yan and Huang began to merge.

Soon, there was another riot in the world. Knowing that Chiyou's prestige was still there, the Yellow Emperor drew a statue of Chiyou and hung it everywhere. People all over the world think that Chiyou is not dead, but was surrendered by the Yellow Emperor, and more tribes came to join them. Later, Chiyou was honored as the God of War.

Other legends

Huangdi, surnamed Gongsun and named Xuanyuan (Zhou), was born in matriarchal clan society. Mother's name is attached treasure, uploaded according to history books; On the second day of the second lunar month, Huangdi was born in Qushui River (now Qushui River in huangling county), Juyuan Guanlongxia, and on the second day, he was born in Shouqiu, Qufu (now four kilometers east of Qufu). Since then, there has been an auspicious saying that the dragon looks up in February. Sima Qian described the Yellow Emperor in Historical Records as follows: "Born as a god, weak but able to speak, young but unbiased, long and sensitive, and wise." It can be seen that the Yellow Emperor was not an ordinary person from birth to growth. /kloc-At the age of 0/5, he was acclaimed by the people as the leader of Tam in Xuanyuan, and became the Emperor of Heaven at the age of 37. The great contribution of the Yellow Emperor's life lies in that after 53 wars, he defeated Wan Yu, surrendered to Yan Di, punished Wan Yu and surrendered to Yan Di, thus killing him, ending the war, unifying the three tribes, bidding farewell to barbarism, and establishing the best in the world. Human civilization began from now on. Therefore, all the people in the world later called Xuanyuan Huangdi "the ancestor of mankind" and "the ancestor of civilization". Last name is gongsun. For the ancient emperors. It's the bear's son's outpost.

According to legend, Xuanyuan Huangdi's mother's name is Fu Bao. Legend has it that one night, Fu Bao saw an electric light around the Big Dipper. Immediately, the pivot star fell, and Fu Bao became pregnant through this induction. After 24 months of pregnancy, she gave birth to a child, the child is the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor became a perverted god as soon as he was born. Not long after birth, I can speak. At the age of 15, I have done everything. Later, he succeeded to the throne with the bear. Because he invented the mysterious face, he called it Xuanyuan. It is also called the Yellow Emperor because it takes Tude as the king and the soil color is yellow.

According to legend, when the Yellow Emperor ascended the throne, there were 18 Chiyou brothers who claimed to be descendants of God. This 18 people are all animals' faces, with bronze heads and iron forehead, no grains, and only eat river stones. They disobeyed the orders of the Yellow Emperor, mutilated Li Shu and killed innocent people. He also made a big crossbow with a stick and a knife, which was an enemy of the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor obeyed the people's will, and gathered all the princes and soldiers to crusade against Chiyou. 15 Ten days later, I failed to defeat Chiyou and had to retreat. Therefore, the Yellow Emperor was worried, and he hoped that Tessa would help him destroy Chiyou day and night. One night, he dreamed that the wind blew away the dust in the world. Then I dreamed that a man was driving tens of thousands of sheep with a crossbow. After waking up, I felt very strange. Focus on meditation, wind and eyes; Soil is soil solution. Is there anyone named after Fengming in the world? The crossbow of the Millennium is the hope of driving thousands of sheep, and the shepherd is good. Can't there be a person named Li Ming Shepard? So he sent his people to visit these two people all over the world. As a result, after finding the wind in the corner of the sea, I found Limu in Zebian. The Yellow Emperor began to attack Chiyou on a large scale, taking the wind behind him as the phase and grazing as the general. In Zhuolu country, the two armies were at war. Chiyou laid a hundred miles of fog for three days and three nights, which made the soldiers confused. Huangdi ordered the wind to build a south guide car. At the same time, the Queen Mother of the West also sent Xuan Nv to teach him the tactics of Mia and tone-deaf. After the wind, the method of hiding armor evolved. In the evening, the war in Jizhou rekindled. Under the guidance of Chiyou, Chiyou invited Feng Bo, the rain god, and ordered Ying Long to store water to attack the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor invited all the women in the world to the east to shelter from the rain, while Li Qiangbing in the north corner drove Ying Long to the South Pole. In the end, Chiyou was killed and buried in four places, so that the body could not be collected.

Later, after Shennong, Yugang and Huangdi competed for the world. The Yellow Emperor took the bird of the week and the trembling of the eagle as the flag, the bear, the black tiger and the leopard as the forerunner, and fought against Yugang in the wild of Banquan. After World War III, he defeated Yu Gang. Later, he personally led the military forces and conquered the princes who refused to take the big clothes. After World War 52, the world was unified. Therefore, the Yellow Emperor divided the country into wild areas and held ceremonies to entertain and educate the people. At the same time, various household appliances were invented. Among them, Minister Cao Hu made a coat, a coat and a pair of shoes. People no longer wear skins and bark. The Yellow Emperor also made a boat according to the principle that floating leaves float on the water, and drums accompanied the boat to walk on the water. According to the principle of turning over the canopy, the automobile assistance was invented, which facilitated the traffic. Yong Huang's father invented spring, and then the Yellow Emperor made a cauldron so that people could steam rice and cook porridge. Later, houses and cities were built so that people stopped building nests in caves. The Yellow Emperor also used Qi Bo as internal and external meridians, which cured the people's diseases. He also determined the names of everything in the world and divided the stars into 28 nights. Party A and Party B mark the day for ten days, the ugly son marks the moon for twelve days, and a son is sixty years. So there is the concept of time and space. According to the history books, people at that time "had the desire to eat, the beauty of clothes, the pleasure of vulgarity, and the right place to live." A scene of peace.

One day, the Yellow Emperor was on the Luoshui River, enjoying the scenery with his ministers. Suddenly I saw a big bird holding a picture of Bian and putting it in front of him. The yellow emperor quickly bowed down. Look at this bird. It is shaped like a crane, the head of a chicken, the mouth of a swallow, the neck of a turtle, a dragon, parallel wings and the tail of a fish. The characters in the picture are virtuous, benevolent and benevolent. The Yellow Emperor had never seen this bird before, so he went to ask God for help. God told him that the male bird of this bird is called Phoenix, and the female bird is called Phoenix. It is called Chen Deng in the morning, Shangxiang in the daytime, Guichang in the evening and Changbao in the evening. When the phoenix comes out, it means that the world is at peace. This is a sign of good luck. Later, the Yellow Emperor dreamed that two dragons came out of the Yellow River and presented them with a white picture. Huang Di was puzzled and asked Tian Lao again. The old man replied that this was a precursor to the publication of the Book of Hutuluo. So the Yellow Emperor swam between Heluo and Tianlao, drowned in the river, killed three animals and fasted. It was foggy for three days at first. Then it rained heavily for seven days and nights. Then Huanglong came out of the river with a painting, and the Yellow Emperor knelt down and took it. I saw five colors on the picture, white with blue leaves and Zhu Wen, which is the book of Hutuluo. So the Yellow Emperor began to travel around the world and worship Mount Tai. He heard that there was a fairy named Guang in the cave, so he went to ask him for advice. Guang said, "Since you ruled the world, the clouds have not gathered gas, but it has rained and the plants have withered. The sun and the moon are competing for glory, and the shortage is getting worse. " Who are you to talk to me about enlightenment? "After the Yellow Emperor came back, he stopped asking about politics. Self-built a small house with a summer mat, and a person reflected in it for three months. Then ask around. At that time, Guangtou was lying facing south, and the Yellow Emperor knelt in front of him and asked him how to live forever. However, it is widely said that it is very good here! " Then tell him the essence of the supreme Tao: "the essence of the supreme Tao, whispering, the supreme Tao, faint and silent." "Never mind, listen, keep silent. The shape will be self-correcting, quiet and clear; No makeup, no makeup, you can live forever. " I can't see anything, I can't hear anything and I don't know anything in my heart. Only in this way can I have eternal life. "Since then, widely sent him a roll of the natural classics.

After the Yellow Emperor asked about Guang, he went to the mountain again, so he had to bring the "Dan Jing". Ask Xuan Nv and Motome for ways to keep in good health. Then, he returned to Jinyuntang to practice. He collected the bronze of the first mountain and cast Jiuding at the foot of Jingshan Mountain. As soon as the tripod was cast, a long bearded dragon floated down to welcome the Yellow Emperor into the fairyland. The Yellow Emperor immediately rode on the dragon and soared away. Several junior ministers also wanted to live forever with him, so they quickly caught the dragon beard. As a result, the dragon beard was broken and these little ministers fell to the ground again. It is said that those dragon whiskers changed the asparagus. "

Historical significance

The Yellow Emperor was in power for a long time, with strong national strength, political stability and cultural progress. There are many inventions and productions, such as words, music, calendars, palaces, boats, clothes and compasses. According to legend, Yao, Shun, Yu and Tang Dou are his descendants, so the Yellow Emperor is regarded as the same ancestor of the Chinese nation.

The Yellow Emperor and Yandi are considered as the ancestors of the Chinese nation, so China people sometimes call themselves "descendants of the Yellow Emperor".

The Yellow Emperor in Religion

The Yellow Emperor is a legendary ancient emperor and an ancient immortal revered by Taoism. Its prototype is probably the head of an emirate of the Chinese nation, because he has made great contributions to the development of this nation and has been praised by future generations for a long time. However, due to the age, most of the rumors left behind are confusing and difficult to know in detail. But by the time hundreds of scholars in the Warring States period talked about the Yellow Emperor, many people had sorted out and compiled those rumors, and finally shaped the image of a generation of emperors. It is said that the Yellow Emperor has a little hall for the son of a bear. He once defeated Emperor Yan in Beiquan and passed Chiyou in Zhuolu. The governors respected him as the son of heaven and replaced Shennong as the Yellow Emperor. Then establish officials, formulate laws and regulations, and order officials to build palaces, make clothes, build ships and cars, legal calendars, characters, arithmetic, music and so on. They have been invented one after another, thus forming a prosperous situation of "fields do not invade the shore, fishing does not dispute, roads are not connected, and cities do not care about their homes". While a hundred schools of thought contend to shape the image of the Yellow Emperor, some ancient books are also shaping the immortal image of the Yellow Emperor. "Shan Hai Jing ·Xi· Shan Jing" says: "It is 420 miles in the northwest, and it is called Aoshan. ..... Among them, there are many white jade, jade paste, and its original boiling soup is delicious for the Yellow Emperor. " In Zhuangzi, there are many stories about the Yellow Emperor's visiting and talking about Taoism. In In Lang, the Yellow Emperor went up the Kongtong Mountain and asked Yu Chengzi, who taught him that "the ears are empty, the head is motionless, and he is self-righteous." To be quiet and clear, it is possible for a woman to live forever without working or shaking her figure. Seeing nothing, hearing nothing and knowing nothing, the goddess will keep her shape, and the shape is immortal. "Xu Wugui" records that the Yellow Emperor went to Juzi Mountain to visit the Great King, and Lu Yu taught the horse-herding boy to rule the world. He said: "if the husband is a man under the sun, he will laugh at people who release their horses abnormally, and he will only hurt his horse!" "The Journey to the West recorded the admonition of the Yellow Emperor, saying," Without thinking, you can only know, do nothing, and you can't get the word. "He also said:" Those who walk for the Tao will lose their days and lose what they have lost, so that they will do nothing. " The article "The Great Master" said: "The way of a husband is affectionate and intangible ... The Yellow Emperor got it to climb into the sky. "The alchemists in the Qin and Han Dynasties even regarded the Yellow Emperor as a model for emperors to become immortals, and used this as a model to encourage Qin Huang and Hanwu to cultivate immortals. Li said to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "The shrine furnace can cause trouble, and cinnabar can be refined into gold. Jin can think that eating utensils can prolong life, and Penglai immortals can be seen in the sea. If you saw it, you wouldn't die. Huangdi also. The palace also fabricated a famous myth that the Yellow Emperor Dinghu ascended to heaven, saying, "The Yellow Emperor learned immortality by fighting, ... and then gained magical power when he was 100 years old." "The Yellow Emperor took the copper from the first mountain and cast a tripod at the foot of Jingshan Mountain. When the tripod was finished, a dragon lowered its beard to welcome the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor rode on horseback, and there were more than 70 ministers in the harem, with dragons on them. Yu Xiaochen couldn't go up, but he knew that he had a Chinese alpine rush in his hand. When he pulled it, it fell and fell into the bow of the Yellow Emperor. People look up to the Yellow Emperor, but they hold his bow and grow his beard, so later generations named it Dinghu and his bow Wu Hao. "It can be said that from the Warring States to the early Han Dynasty, the Yellow Emperor was basically an emperor and an image of a fairy.

In the early days of Taoism, people called it the ecliptic, and regarded Huangdi and Laozi as the founders of Taoism. Zhang Ling founded Wudou Midao, respecting Laozi as the godfather and Huangdi as the ancient immortal. This is to follow. Therefore, Taoist books continue to decorate the Yellow Emperor as an ancient immortal. Ge Hong's "Bao Puzi's Inner Chapter" said: "Huang Lao Xuan Sheng, with profound knowledge and unique opinions, writes secret poems about famous mountains, is taught by immortals, and is tired of dust. Stones and stones can't stand it, and turtles and cranes can't wait." In the same book "Debate and Question", it is boasted that the Yellow Emperor is the only saint who manages the world's Tao since ancient times, saying: "The so-called saints all manage the world's saints, the saints who get the Tao, and the saints who get the Tao are also yellow and old. The sage who manages the world is Kong Zhou.

It is an accidental gift that the Yellow Emperor ruled the world first, and then became immortal. Ji Yan tells the story of the Yellow Emperor crossing famous mountains, visiting the truth and finally ascending to heaven.

A little cloud said, "In the past, the emperor was born with a glib tongue, and the lark was gifted, but he still couldn't sit up. So, I went to the palace and got the Dan Sutra. I went to Dinghu Lake and flew to Beads. Get on the board and ask Guangcheng. When I was in the east, I served medium yellow. When I entered the shrine, I consulted my son. When I talk about the cultivation of Tao, I am a mysterious vegetarian. I visited Shanlu and forced grazing. Ask the wind when you talk about the situation, and then write about your body. So I can complete this secret, and the road to poverty is real, so I can raise the dragon to a high level, which is extremely beneficial to heaven and earth. " From the Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, historical records constantly increased the story of the Yellow Emperor becoming immortal. "Taiyi Zazi" said: "The Yellow Emperor went to Emei to see the naive emperor, and worshipped the Jade Hall, saying: Dare you ask what is the trinity? The emperor said: and since you have unified yourself and consulted the Trinity, what is there to resist? ..... If saints want to rule the world, they must first make meritorious deeds to accumulate wealth, gain wisdom, control righteousness with wisdom, send letters with righteousness, rely on the masses, be benevolent with the masses, nurture benevolence with morality, protect education with morality, teach well with politics and customs, ... make a promise at a ceremony, restore their original feelings to Taoism, restore morality to Syria, and live a quiet life. The Biography of the Yellow Emperor imitates the Biography of Emperor Mu of Han Dynasty and the Biography of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty, and makes up the story of the Western Queen Mother preaching and teaching, saying that "the Queen Mother gave the emperor seven stupid skills. The emperor said: what is seven lewdness? The Queen Mother said: I can't see clearly, my ears are not wise, my mouth is unhappy, my nose is blocked, my hands are unstable, my feet are not straight, and my heart is not true. However, if the mind is not confused, it will be true. If the eyes are not ignorant, they will be clear, and if the ears are not ignorant, they will be clear ... that is, we must know that the seven obscenities should be combined into one, one is slightly ignorant, and the six obscenities are all stuffed, then the whole body will be cured and close to death. " He also said, "The Empress Dowager drank the pure fruit of the emperor with the slurry of Bi Xia, and because she gave the emperor a five-body white jade statue, she said," This is the true meaning of the Buddha from the beginning. He also presented the original picture to Emperor II and returned 19 Dan. The emperor is a gift, placed above lofty ideas, and provides for himself, which is invisible to concubines. Its view often has different colors, and the strange fragrance smells a hundred paces. When people call it a Taoist temple, the numbering of Taoist temples begins. " The Seven Signs of Yun Qi, Volume 3, The Rise of Taoism, also called the Yellow Emperor a biography of Lingbao, saying that "the biography of Lingbao today is the naive emperor granted to Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor in Emei Mountain." In the second year of Tang Xizong Guangming (88 1), Wang Kui sorted out the monastic activities of the Yellow Emperor recorded in various books, and made Travel Notes of the Yellow Emperor, which was a systematic summary of the cultivation of the Yellow Emperor. He said: "The Yellow Emperor takes the world as the principle, but seeks truth and longevity", so he traveled to the mountains and asked, and finally said: "There is a yellow dragon beard." Taoism regards the Yellow Emperor as an ancient immortal, and Tao Hongjing's "True Spirit Industry Map" calls it "Xuanpuzhen Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan", which ranks in the left position under the third Taiji Golden Que Emperor. Taoist priests often write books in the name of the Yellow Emperor. In addition to the ancient medical book Huangdi Neijing, the most famous one is Daozang. There are many books on alchemy of Huangdi, such as alchemy of Huangdi Jiuding Shen Dan Jing; On divination, there are The First Classic of the Yellow Emperor, The Classic of the Golden Chamber and the Classic of the Yellow Emperor's House. Regarding the choice of marrying the auspicious day of the ecliptic, there is a classic that the Yellow Emperor gave three sons to a mysterious woman; There are eight magic tricks of Huangdi Taiyi, the secrets of Huangdi Taiyi and the magic of Huangdi Taiyi's life and death.

In the old days, some areas tried to build Huangdi Temple or Xuanyuan Temple, and most of them were offered as ancient immortals. Shanxi Tongzhi contains many temples of the Yellow Emperor, one of which is that "in Quwo County, the Ming Dynasty dug up ancient monuments, ... and its yin praised:' Morality is lofty, music and education are resolved, and it is as long as heaven and earth, and it is endless.' Because of the temple. There are also Huangdi temples in Henan and Shaanxi. Henan Tongzhi said: "There are two Huangdi temples, one in the west of Yiyang County and the other in the southeast of Ganxiang County. According to legend, Xuanyuan Huangdi cast a tripod here, so this temple was built. " AK Taoist Temple includes Huangdi Temple and Xuanyuan Temple. For example, the Changdao Temple in Qingcheng Mountain, Sichuan, has both the Sanhuang Temple dedicated to Fuxi, Shennong and Huangdi and the Xuanyuan Temple dedicated to Huangdi.
