Yan Di and Huangdi are the ancestors of China, Yan Di is the direct descendant of Shaodian, and Huangdi is a common family. Yan Di and the Yellow Emperor are contemporaries, and they are both legends.

Since ancient times, Yan Di has been regarded as the symbol of the ancestor of the Chinese nation, and it is the Yan Di Shennong, which enjoys the same fame as the Yellow Emperor. According to legend, he was born in Jiang Shui, Baoji City, Shaanxi Province (now Qingjiang Valley, Baoji City).

Yan Di and the Yellow Emperor.

Emperor Yan was the leader of the ancient Jiang tribe in China, with titles of Shennong, Wei Xiao, Lianshan, Lieshan and Zhu Xiang.

Huangdi (2765438 BC+07 BC-2599 BC): the leader of the ancient tribal alliance in China and the leader of the ancient Chinese nation in China.

In ancient times, men generally called themselves by their surnames, while women generally called themselves by their surnames. Surnames represent the genes of life, while surnames actually represent careers. To say that the Yellow Emperor has a bear family actually means that the career of the Yellow Emperor began when he was the leader of the bear tribe.

Later, Huangdi defeated Yandi. This thing is actually very common and unusual. Because Emperor Yan was the leader of Shennong and represented the highest civilization of all tribes at that time, he was defeated by the backward Yellow Emperor.

Later, we saw that the warlord Zhou represented by Zhou defeated the Shang Dynasty, which represented the highest civilization at that time. Later, Qin defeated Qilu and others. Li Tang defeated Sui.

Therefore, the Huangdi Neijing that we later saw was not written by Huangdi alone, nor was it the achievement of Huangdi tribe, but the civilized achievement of Huangdi tribe and Shennong tribe.
