Imperial order in the history of Yanhuang

In fact, the saying of the descendants of the Yellow Emperor only rose in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. In the past, both Mandarin and Sima Qian's historical records claimed to be descendants of Huangyan or Huangdi. At that time, "yellow" represented orthodoxy, but in order to drive away the invaders and increase the cohesion of all ethnic groups in the late Qing Dynasty, everyone put inflammation in the first place and called it the descendants of the Chinese people.

In fact, for us, Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang are our ancestors. If we really look at the length of time, the Yan Di tribe has a longer history than the Huangdi tribe. In the development at that time, the tribal development in Yan Di actually far surpassed that of the Yellow Emperor. In medicine and economic production, Yan Di tribe was in a leading position at that time, and these developments of Yan Di tribe had a great influence on later generations. It is precisely because of these developments of Yan Di tribes that they have no worries about food and clothing, so they will fail in front of the Yellow Emperor in the future.

In ancient times, in fact, everyone thought that they were descendants of the Yellow Emperor, and rarely talked about Emperor Yan, because they thought that the Yellow Emperor represented the Central Plains nation, and the descendants of Emperor Yan were generally considered to be ethnic minorities such as the Qidan at that time, and they were northern nationalities. At the end of the Qing dynasty, when the national disaster was at hand and the family was ruined, people came up with the word "descendants of the Chinese people" for unity. Whether it is the descendants of the Yellow Emperor who represent the orthodoxy of the Central Plains or the descendants of the Yan Emperor who represent the northern nationalities, only their own country has the capital to continue discussions, so Yan Emperor is put before Huang.

In fact, neither "Chinese descendants" nor "Chinese descendants" can change the fact that we are China people. In that turbulent era, we needed the Chinese people to unite us, but now we must also firmly unite and continue to develop our future.
