What is the contribution of the Yellow Emperor?

The most outstanding contribution of the Yellow Emperor was the war with Chiyou. At that time, the Yellow Emperor was worried that Chiyou and Shennong would jointly attack his tribe, so he decided to strike first. He defeated Shennong and Chiyou first, so he unified the tribes in the Central Plains and the Chinese nation. This is one of the greatest contributions of the Yellow Emperor.

In terms of material civilization, the contribution of the Yellow Emperor is also outstanding. In order to solve the contradiction between population and land shortage, Huangdi invented the farmland system. He measured the area of farmland with his feet and distributed it to the people fairly, which improved the people's enthusiasm for production. Subsequently, the Yellow Emperor re-divided the whole country into a "well" shape.

To some extent, land disputes have been avoided and the land utilization rate has been improved more effectively. In addition, the Yellow Emperor also invented tripod, bronze mirror, car, boat, ladder, textile machine and other items, which facilitated all aspects of people's lives and improved people's quality of life and living standards.

In terms of spiritual civilization, the contribution of the Yellow Emperor is very outstanding. He invented Yin-Yang and Five Elements, Jiazi Chronology, divination and writing, which greatly enriched the material wealth of the Chinese nation and promoted the process of Chinese civilization.
