The story of the descendants of the Yellow Emperor
Legend has it that he invented cars, boats, pots, mirrors and made crossbows. It is also said that the Yellow Emperor asked Cangjie to create characters, Linglun made musical rules, made jiazi, and Qi Bo wrote medical books. It is said that the Huangdi and Yan Di nationalities first lived in Shaanxi. The Huangdi family finally settled near Zhuolu, Hebei.
Emperor Yan finally arrived in the present Shandong area. Chiyou is the leader of Jiuli nationality. The areas where Jiuli people live are mainly in Shandong, Henan and Anhui today. According to legend, Yan Di and Jiuli fought for a fertile land in the Yellow River basin. The Yan Di clan was defeated and turned to the Huangdi clan for help. Huang heyan merged.
According to the above myths and legends, we can see that the three tribes of Huangdi, Yan Di and Jiuli were gradually ruled by Huangdi and merged with each other, and Huangdi became the ancestor of China's multi-ethnic country. Later, all ethnic groups thought they were descendants of the Chinese people and were called "descendants of the Chinese people".
Historical development:
"descendants of the Chinese people" is a self-title that Chinese people at home and abroad are proud of. The word really appeared and was widely used in the late Qing Dynasty, but its embryonic form "after Huangyan", "descendants of the Chinese people" and "descendants of the Chinese people" existed as early as the Warring States, Qin and Han Dynasties. These are all different manifestations of the title of "descendants of the Chinese people" in different times and contexts.
"Guoyu Yujin" said: "In the past, young people married Yougao and gave birth to Huangdi and Yan Di. The Yellow Emperor became a drowning man, and Emperor Yan became a Jiang Shui. " There were no words in the Yanhuang period, and it was impossible to have such titles as "descendants of Yanhuang" and "descendants of Huangdi", but it laid a solid foundation for such titles to appear in later generations.
