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. Huangdi is a legend in ancient history, and the most wonderful story about him is the war between Huangdi and Yandi and Chiyou. In the end, the Yellow Emperor won the victory and was acclaimed as the leader of the tribal alliance by all tribes.

His contribution has been praised by later generations, and he is known as China's "ancestor of humanity". Historical information about the Yellow Emperor is very scarce.
birthplace
Records of the Five Emperors in Historical Records records: "The Yellow Emperor is the son of Shaodian, surnamed Gongsun and named Xuanyuan, and the Yellow Emperor lives in the hill of Xuanyuan". As for the specific place of birth, there is no unified view in the history circle. In ancient times, it was the capital of the bear country, and its father was the monarch of the bear country, but some people thought it was somewhere else.
Legend 1. The Yellow Emperor was born on the second day of the second lunar month in China's northwest Loess Plateau in the Longjiangguan Gorge. According to legend, the mother of the Yellow Emperor was a girl on the Loess Plateau. One evening (or night), she suddenly saw the Northern Lights, and then she got pregnant and gave birth to the Yellow Emperor.
Legend 2. Before 4856 BC, there was a dragon totem country in Xuanyuanqiu, Xinzheng, Henan Province. The monarch is called Shaodian. He is the 77th emperor of Fuxi Emperor and Nuwa Emperor. His wife has two wives, one is Ren Xian (female Deng) and the other is Deng. They are sisters and daughters of the Xi family. In today's palace in Xuanyuanqiu, Beiguan, xinzheng city, the baby breathed the gas of nature as soon as he was born, and let out a cry of "Wow". This statement has been recognized by some non-governmental organizations, including China Ancient Capital Society.
Legend 3: The Yellow Emperor was born in Qufu City, Shandong Province, and should be excluded first. According to ancient records, "Huangdi was born in Shouqiu", "Shouqiu is north of Dongdaemun in Shandong Province", and Shouqiu is located in the east of the old county, four kilometers east of Qufu. Zhao Hengzun took the Yellow Emperor as the ancestor of Zhao, ordered Qufu County to be changed into a county, and built Jingling Palace and Taiji Hall in Shouqiu, Qufu for sacrifice. Jingling Palace complex is huge, with 1, 320 halls, halls, pavilions, covering an area of 1, 800 mu, more than three times that of Confucius Temple in Qufu today. It was the temple with the highest etiquette at that time. After Kublai Khan entered the Central Plains in the Yuan Dynasty, he respected the Yellow Emperor, ordered the restoration of Jingling Palace, and allowed Han people to worship the Yellow Emperor. Jingling Palace was destroyed in the war at the end of Yuan Dynasty. To the north is the famous Shao Hao Mausoleum, known as the Chinese Pyramid.
The original Historical Records did not record that the Yellow Emperor was born there.
Later, Kong Guoan, a descendant of Confucius (a figure in the mid-Western Han Dynasty), noted in Historical Records that the Yellow Emperor was born in Shouqiu, Qufu. As we all know, Confucius was from Qufu, Shandong. Kong Guoan wrote the birthplace of the Yellow Emperor in his hometown, and his intention can be imagined!
Huangdi's Birthday On the second day of the second lunar month, it is the Zhonghe Festival (also called Dragon Head Lift Festival), the legendary birthday of Huangdi, and a festival for China people. The Zhonghe Festival was formulated by Tang Dezong Shili in the fifth year of Zhenyuan (789), also known as the February 2nd of the Dragon's Rise.
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 in Henan or Qufu in Shandong), there was a bear, also called 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.

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 made rituals 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 for 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 symbol 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 yue said, "since you rule the world, the clouds don't gather gas, but rain, and the plants are 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, gave him a roll of" 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. "
