What period did the ancient Three Emperors and Five Emperors refer to (refusing to copy the answers)?

About 65438 BC+05000 BC-the Xia Dynasty was established. The Three Emperors and Five Emperors were the legendary "emperors" in China before the Xia Dynasty. Now it seems that they are all tribal leaders, and they have become the leaders of tribal alliances because of their strength. Different historians have different definitions of "Three Emperors and Five Emperors". Huang San has five theories, and so do the five emperors.

Huang San

Nu Wa in Fuxi, Xinjiang, shows the snake head in the soil: Nu Wa abides by the rules, while Fuxi abides by the rules. Suiren Fuxi Shennong

Fuxi, Nuwa, Shennong

Fuxi, Zhu Rong, Shennong

Fuxi, Shennong, * * * *

Fuxi, Shennong and Huangdi

The latter view was popularized because of the influence of Shangshu, and Fuxi, Shennong and Huangdi became the three oldest emperors in China.

In addition, Huang San, together with the Emperor, Huangdi and Ren Huang, is called the Three Gods in Hanshu Weishu. Later, in Taoism, Huang San was divided into three groups: the third-grade emperor was human; In Huang San, people face snakes or dragons; In post-Huang San, Fuxi was the queen, Nuwa was the queen and Shennong was the queen.

Five legendary rulers

Huangdi, Zhuan Xu, Di Ku, Yao and Shun.

Mi Opera (Fuxi), Shennong, Huangdi, Yaoshun

Tai Hao, Yan Di, Huangdi, Shao Hao, Zhuan Xu.

Shao Hao, Zhuan Xu, Di Ku, Yao Shun.

Huangdi, Zhuan Xu, Qi and Yao.

Among them, the third one is the most popular, which means the gods in five directions: Tai Hao in the east, Yan Di in the south, Shao Hao in the west, Zhuan Xu in the north and the Yellow Emperor in the center.

Another explanation is the Five Sages King in the ancient legend of China. The first and fourth explanations are more common.

history

There are many controversies about the understanding of the history of this period, but it is basically uncontroversial that China was in a primitive society during this period. Due to the entanglement of the existing data of Dachuan myths and legends in this historical period, it is difficult to judge the authenticity of many things. According to historical data, the popular saying now is:

There was a tribe named Ji in the Yellow River valley at the earliest, and the leader was the Yellow Emperor. This tribe is active in central Shaanxi, mainly engaged in agricultural labor. There is also a tribe named Jiang headed by Emperor Yan nearby, and there are frequent frictions between the two sides. The battle of Hanquan finally broke out between the two tribes. Huangdi defeated Yandi and the two tribes formed an alliance. Finally, the Yellow Emperor recovered the surrounding tribes. This is how the Huaxia nationality, the main body of the Han nationality, came into being. Now China people call themselves "descendants of the Chinese people".
