The Yellow Emperor is the head of the Five Emperors and is regarded as the "ancestor of mankind". In Shan Hai Jing, the Yellow Emperor was only one of the emperors, and it was not until the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period that it was designated as a statue. During the reign of the Yellow Emperor, he vigorously developed production, planted hundreds of crops of plants and trees, and began to make clothes, music, boats and cars, and wrote Huangdi Neijing. History shows that the Yellow Emperor was named after his virtue.
The image of the Yellow Emperor created by Sima Qian in Records of the Five Emperors includes three main aspects: politics, economy and religion. Politically, the Yellow Emperor achieved "unification" and made important contributions to consolidating "unification".
Economically, Huangdi attached great importance to the development of planting and animal husbandry, and made important achievements in promoting the development of agricultural science and technology. Religiously, the Yellow Emperor is an ancient emperor who combines religious theocracy and political power.
Stories and legends:
Ma Yongfu, Mississippi 1.
Father Yong is the minister of the Yellow Emperor. He has the ability to make stones. Yongfu was instructed by the Yellow Emperor to successfully develop a pestle and mortar for rice milling between Hongshui River and Juzi Mountain, and taught people to peel rice husk and cook rice. Because of his contribution to Chu Jiu, the Yellow Emperor named the place where he developed Chu Jiu as his food city. Yong's father built a city here and lived there, called Yong's City. This is the ancient town of Yuzhou today.
2. Yucheng burned pottery.
Wengcheng is today's ancient town Wengxiang Village. The ancient Central Plains was flooded all the year round, and people lived in caves. Every time I go to the foot of the mountain to get water, I suffer from no container. One day, Ning Fengzi, an important official of the Yellow Emperor, got hard mud in the fire while roasting wild animals, thus realizing the truth of burning pottery, so he took local materials and built a kiln to burn pottery, which would last for four seasons.
Burned urns have no place to pile up, so they are used to build walls. For a long time, they are like a city called the urn city. Since then, painted pottery, black pottery, celadon and even Jun porcelain have all been burned in Yu Di, and kiln fires have been passed down from generation to generation.
