What is the origin of the descendants of the Yellow Emperor?

According to legend, in ancient times, many scattered people lived in the Yellow River valley in China. They formed clans according to their blood relationship, and many clans United to form tribes. Huangdi and Yan Di are the leaders of two big tribes.

At that time, people's ability to resist natural disasters was very low, and they had to move in case of floods and droughts. Once, when the Yan Di tribe moved, they came to the place occupied by the Yellow Emperor tribe. When they saw good conditions there, they decided to stay for a long time.

However, the people of the Huangdi tribe were not reconciled, and as a result, the two sides fought to outdo each other. After three battles, the Yan Di tribe was defeated. Emperor Yan admitted defeat to the Yellow Emperor and expressed his willingness to obey his orders. The Yellow Emperor agreed to the request of the Yan Di tribe to stay.

The wife of the Yellow Emperor personally taught the people of Yan Di tribe to raise silkworms and reeling silk, and the Yellow Emperor had them taught the skills of making cars and ships. Emperor Yan also gave wooden plows and herbs to the Yellow Emperor. They get along well.

Later, they joined forces to form the Yanhuang Tribal Alliance, and the Yellow Emperor became the leader of this alliance. The history of the Chinese nation began. Therefore, people in China regard the Yellow Emperor as the ancestor of the Chinese nation and call themselves "descendants of the Chinese people".

Huangdi Mausoleum is located on a pine and cypress hill in huangling county, Shaanxi Province, China. Now every year in Tomb-Sweeping Day, there are many sea areas where Chinese and foreign descendants go to worship their ancestors.
