Yanhuang legend

In ancient times, there were many tribes in the Yellow River valley. In order to compete for land, wars often occur between tribes. Later, the two tribes of Yanhuang clashed in the Central Plains, and the Yellow Emperor defeated Yandi to form the Yanhuang Alliance. Soon, the Yanhuang Alliance defeated the eastern tribe headed by Chiyou, and the Yellow Emperor was elected as the leader of the tribal alliance.

In ancient times, people lived a primitive nomadic life by hunting and fishing. Emperor Yan wants everyone to live a stable life. So he took pains, risked his life, traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers, tasted countless fruits, and finally found grass that he thought could bear a lot of fruits and eat. This is He Miao. Since then, more and more people have grown grain. In order to commemorate his achievements, people respected Emperor Yan as Shennong.

Huangdi and Yandi are considered as the ancestors of the Chinese nation, so China people call themselves "descendants of the Yellow Emperor".
