Emperor Yan, does Emperor Huang really exist?
As can be seen from historical records, Shennong Yan Di, Xuanyuan Huangdi and Chiyou are all ancient real people, and the battle of Zhuolu did happen. Archaeological excavations also prove that China did have a very developed city-state 4,400 years ago.
The site of Shijiahe City, Hubei Province, 4,300 years ago is considered as the capital of Sanmiao Department in the Chiyou period. Some people doubt this history, because they haven't read enough ancient books, because they are obsessed with rebelling against the ancients, and because they haven't read enough archaeological reports.
According to historical records, the Yellow Emperor * * * had twenty-five sons, fourteen of whom had surnames. These fourteen people got twelve surnames, which are: Ji, You, Qi, Ji, Teng, Gao, Ren, Xun, Nuo, Yi and Yi in turn.
Later, () the Zhou Dynasty from eastern Shaanxi to the Central Plains was established, and vassals or countries were enfeoffed, including 53 countries with the surname of Ji, with the country as the surname, thus forming most surnames of China, and China people called themselves "descendants of the Chinese people" or "descendants of the Chinese people".

The origin of the descendants of the Yellow Emperor
After the Yellow Emperor formed an alliance with Emperor Yan, he began to crusade against the Chiyou tribe. The Chiyou tribe is a powerful tribe living in the East. It is very militant. According to legend, Chiyou is a tauren with copper arms and iron legs. This should be because the Chiyou tribe and the Yanhuang tribe are different in clothing. They like to wear helmets made of horns and metal armor. Therefore, their fighting capacity is very strong and invincible, and they constantly capture the territory of the Chinese people with the intention of annexing the world. In the end, the two armies met in the outskirts of Zhuolu.
Chiyou's good use of witchcraft attracted the fog. At that time, the soldiers of the Yellow Emperor didn't know the direction and were defeated by Chiyou. So the yellow emperor invented the south guide car to command soldiers, assisted by various well-trained beasts. Finally, Chiyou was defeated and the land seized by Chiyou tribe was annexed. The rest of the Chiyou tribe fled to remote areas, and there are no Chiyou people in the Central Plains.
After World War I with Chiyou, Huangdi finally replaced Shennong as the master of the world and was regarded as the son of heaven by governors. Huangdi gradually established management systems at all levels, invented various musical instruments, improved the culture of rites and music, established a standing army, patrolled everywhere, resolved public disputes and quelled the rebellion.
Since then, the descendants of the Yellow Emperor and Yan Di have multiplied, intermarried and merged with various tribes, and gradually formed the Chinese nation, the predecessor of the Chinese nation. Therefore, the Yellow Emperor and Yan Di are called "the ancestors of mankind". From then on, we called ourselves "descendants of the Yellow Emperor".
