The three emperors and five emperors in ancient times were all characters in fairy tales. Huang San refers to Fuxi, Nuwa and Shennong, and the Five Emperors refer to Taiji, Yan Di, Huangdi, Shaoluo and Zhuan Xu. Really? Three emperors and five emperors? Just characters in ancient myths and legends, or some ancient tribal leaders. In fact, there are different opinions about the Three Emperors and Five Emperors in history, but what I said above is a widely recognized one. The story of Three Emperors and Five Emperors is actually very long. The stories of these characters are not recorded in historical books, but are full of compilation and fiction of later generations, but they contain the curiosity and speculation of the Chinese nation about their ancestors in later generations. These figures of Three Emperors and Five Emperors represent some ancient ancestors of Chinese children. Now let's have a look.

Let me talk about Fuxi first. According to legend, Fuxi is the humanistic ancestor of the Chinese nation. Fuxi created many things, very clever, and had a deep influence on later generations. Fuxi invented gossip and created characters in a pioneering way. Fuxi also created fishing nets so that people could live by the sea. In addition, Nu Wa, the goddess of creation, is also the humanistic ancestor of the Chinese nation. Goddess of mending heaven, many people know the myth and legend that Nu Wa created man. Nu Wa was endowed with the power to create human beings, full of fantasy. The last Shennong, the protagonist who tasted a hundred herbs, can be said to be the founder of Chinese agriculture and herbal medicine, which opened the agriculture and planting industry of the Chinese nation and was respected by Chinese descendants.

Huangdi and Yan Di Many people also know that Huangdi and Yan Di are the ancestors of the Chinese nation. The Yellow Emperor was the leader of the ancient tribal alliance in China and the master of the ancient Chinese nation in China. The Yellow Emperor and Yan Di fought side by side and defeated Chiyou, which can be said to have created a good opportunity for the peaceful and stable environment of the Chinese nation in the future. Zhuan Xu, also known as Hei Di, made its capital in Diqiu after defeating Gong Shi.

These mythical Three Emperors and Five Emperors are full of China people's yearning and expectation for their ancestors. Although these people are mythical figures, they are also one of the splendid Chinese civilizations.
