What was the weapon of Chiyou, the ancient god of war?
Chiyou is the most famous god of war in ancient times. He was also the first person who invented metal weapons. It is said that his troops used weapons such as halberds or crossbows when fighting. These weapons were very important and special at that time, and they were also the main objective reasons for indirectly assisting him to become a god of war. However, it is said that Chiyou's weapon is quite different from the general halberd. So what is Chiyou's weapon? What's so special about his weapon?
Artifact Tiger Spirit
It is said that the Yellow Emperor fought fiercely with Chiyou in order to unify the world. Although Chiyou has extraordinary ability and powerful mana, after all, the Yellow Emperor is not a mortal. Later, Chiyou couldn't resist the attack of the Yellow Emperor, and began to lose ground. One night during the war, Chiyou found something suddenly falling from the sky. He hurried after it and found that it turned out to be an unknown monster. The monster was fierce and cruel, and it was swallowed up when it met human beings. Zhan Hu, Chiyou's mount, thought that his master would be in danger, and quickly stood up to protect him, but Chiyou was afraid of hurting his future weapon, so he combined Zhan Hu with the monster and named it Hu Bo. Later, in the war with the Yellow Emperor, Amber was really fierce. The two men fought more and more bravely, and blood flowed between heaven and earth. However, Amber's weapon was not only a sharp weapon to kill the enemy, but also hurt his master. Coupled with the attack of the Yellow Emperor, Chiyou was defeated and died.
In fact, Hu Bo, Chiyou's weapon, was made of meteorite falling from the sky. In ancient times, people didn't know what meteorites were, so they added many legendary mysteries, which added a gorgeous coat to Hu Bo. The war between Chiyou and the Yellow Emperor
A hero exists because there is an opposite foil. Just like the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou, the Yellow Emperor is a hero praised by everyone, and Chiyou is the opposite person. There have been many wars between Chiyou and the Yellow Emperor, the most famous of which is the battle of Zhuolu.
The picture of the war between Chiyou and the Yellow Emperor
Once there is a division of populations in this world, there will be contradictions among various groups, and there will also be various wars. In ancient times in China, people existed in the form of tribes. Once the tribes reached a certain saturation, there would be a war and they wanted to compete. Therefore, the war between Chiyou and the Yellow Emperor also had this reason.
At that time, Jiuli tribe, Shennong tribe and Huangdi's own tribe belonged to the three strongest tribes. At that time, Huangdi tribe was located in the southeast of Yandi tribe and Jiuli tribe. Because the strength of the three tribes is almost the same, the Yellow Emperor adopted the principle of divide-and-conquer. He first attacked Shennong tribe, making Shennong tribe a part of his own tribe, and then joined hands with Yandi to deal with Chiyou.
The Yellow Emperor was actually very clever, so after defeating Emperor Yan's tribe, they joined forces and directly attacked the Jiuli tribe, that is, the land of Zhuolu. Thus, the war between the two masters began here. Because people's imagination is very rich, so people say that the war between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou was attended by immortals. For example, on the way to the Yellow Emperor's March, Chiyou asked the person in charge of the wind and the person in charge of the rain to create a fog, so that the Yellow Emperor's army could not find its direction. Finally, the people of the Yellow Emperor made a guide instrument, which pointed out the direction. Finally, the Yellow Emperor defeated the Jiuli tribe and killed Chiyou by virtue of his cleverness and bravery, as well as various talents of his tribe, thus realizing the unification of a part of the world. The war between Chiyou and the Yellow Emperor ended with the victory of the Yellow Emperor. Chiyou's eighty-one brothers
Chiyou can be said to be the god of war in China. It is said that his subordinates are also fierce people, and he has a bunch of fierce brothers. The reason why he uses a bunch to describe his brothers is because he has a lot of brothers, reaching as many as 81.

In fact, Chiyou's eighty-one brothers also belong to his subordinates, and they all have their own strengths. According to the folk saying, they are all people with copper heads and iron faces. Everyone has their own unique skills that are different from others, and they are all people with magical powers. Therefore, in the war with the Yellow Emperor, the reason why the Yellow Emperor often failed was because of the help of his eighty-one brothers Chiyou.
Among Chiyou's eighty-one brothers, two of them have the ability to call the wind and call the rain. In the war between the Yellow Emperor and him, he invited his two brothers to make a fog to make the Yellow Emperor's army unable to find the way forward, and often asked them to cast spells to change the weather, making sunny days into stormy days, thus forming obstacles to the advance of the Yellow Emperor's army.
There is another brother named Zhai. His brother doesn't talk much, but he is very good at sneaking up on others unconsciously and secretly assassinating. Now, he belongs to the cold type and always gives people a cold feeling. Just standing there will give people a sense of oppression. And it is said that his speed is very fast and his movements are more agile than others. He often wears a blood-red fox head. His special ability is that he can blow out all kinds of birds' calls through a branch and talk to them. So he can send birds to track the enemy without the enemy knowing it. In fact, it is similar to the skill of Bai Feng in the bright moon in Qin Dynasty.
Because there are many brothers, I chose the eighty-one brothers Chiyou who I am interested in and introduced them in detail. Others who are interested can be consulted again. What's Chiyou's surname
Chiyou is one of the mythical figures, because he is grumpy, scary, and likes to solve problems by war, and he is invincible, and the Vietnam War is more and more brave, so he has become the object of people's fear, but Chiyou is indeed one of our ancestors, and his status is actually the same as that of Emperor Yanhuang, so Chiyou. Who inherited his surname in the end?

Chiyou is not surnamed Chi. Later, people gave him his name according to historical records and the evolution of myths. The real surname of Chiyou is Jiang, which is recorded in Biography of Chiyou. "Chiyou is surnamed Jiang.
After Chiyou was killed in the war with the Yellow Emperor, all the descendants of Chiyou were divided into two countries, Tuzou and Tuzou. Later, the descendants of Chiyou took the names of these two countries as their surnames, which has been circulated ever since. That is to say, no one cared about Chiyou's surname at that time, let alone passed it down. But in some later records, Chiyou has a descendant named Jiang Cheng. Obviously, this Jiang Cheng inherited Chiyou's surname.
However, in some unofficial history and a few records, some people still think that Chiyou's original surname is Kan. The main source of this statement is recorded in historical books. The address of Chiyou Tomb is in Kan Township, Zhangxian County, Dongping County, so people think that Chiyou's surname is Kan, and his descendants also took this surname after him. However, this statement has not been recognized by relevant historians, and it is still believed that Chiyou's surname is Jiang. So up to now, most people still think that Chiyou's surname is Jiang. Flag of Chiyou
The flag of Chiyou, literally, should be interpreted by many people as a symbol of the Chiyou tribe and something like a national flag. But unfortunately, if we understand it this way, we will get it wrong, because the flag of Chiyou is a symbol, but it is not a symbol of Chiyou tribe.
The flag of Chiyou
It is said that the flag of Chiyou is actually a fog-like thing, or it is a reddish gas that appears in the sky, just like the clouds in the sky now. But it is more special than ordinary clouds. First of all, as far as its form is concerned, it is thinner than a cloud, a little transparent, and not as dignified as a cotton candy like a cloud, so people say it is like a fog, but it floats higher than the fog. Then, as far as its color is concerned, it is not pure white like a cloud, but reddish, which is a bit like the sunset glow, but slightly darker than the sunset glow, giving people a feeling of blood red. Finally, its shape, unlike clouds, can form various shapes. Generally speaking, its shape is a triangle, but it is not like a regular triangle, just like a flag painted by primary school students, but it seems that the wind is blowing, and its shape is not so regular.
According to folk sayings, the flag of Chiyou has become a harbinger of something, just like the appearance of some stars. However, the appearance of the flag of Chiyou is generally not a good sign. Once it appears, it indicates that there will be some big wars, and this battle will definitely affect people's lives greatly, so people in ancient times are very afraid to see it.
In fact, simply speaking, the flag of Chiyou is a kind of crimson fog, which is a sign of a major war.
