The Yellow Emperor of the Five Emperors series

In the ancient period before the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, there were five very great tribal alliance leaders, namely: the Yellow Emperor, the Emperor, the Emperor, the Yao and the Shun, and later people called them the "Five Emperors".

The Yellow Emperor was the head of the Five Emperors, and according to the Chronicle of History, the Yellow Emperor's name was Gongsun Xuanyuan, and he was the leader of the Huaxia Tribal Alliance.

During the reign of the Yellow Emperor, he invented and created houses, clothes, cars and boats, music, utensils, wells, etc., which made great contributions to the progress of Chinese civilization, so it was revered as one of the first ancestors of Chinese humanities.

It is rumored that the Yellow Emperor could speak within a few dozen days of birth, had quick thinking when he was a teenager, was strong and capable in his youth, and was intelligent and resolute when he became an adult.

When the Yellow Emperor was 20 years old, he inherited the throne of the Youxiong Monarch and became the head of the clan, after which the power of the Xiong clan developed rapidly and formed an independent Yellow Emperor tribe.

Before the Yellow Emperor became the leader of the tribal alliance, in the late period of the reign of the Shennong clan, the leader of the Jiang tribe, there was a chaotic situation of mutual encroachment and attack and violent abuse of the people between the various tribes.

Since the Shennong clan had become weaker and weaker, and had no ability to fight the chaos, the Yellow Emperor began to learn to use weapons, practice diligently, and then take advantage of the time to defeat the rebellious tribes and force the leaders of the various tribes to submit.

Among them, the leader of the Jiuli tribe, Xuan You, was not only fierce, but also powerful, and no one could defeat him, and finally formed a situation in which the three major tribal alliances of Shennong, Yellow Emperor, and Xuan You were standing on their feet, the Yellow Emperor's sphere of influence was in the Central Plains, the Shennong clan's sphere of influence was in the western area west of the Taihang Mountains, and Xuan You's sphere of influence was in the eastern region.

Later, many tribes were dissatisfied with the oppression of the Shennong clan and came to the Yellow Emperor.

Therefore, the Yellow Emperor began to cultivate virtue, reorganize the army, study the changes in the qi of the five elements, plant five grains, appease the people, measure and plan the land of the four directions, train bears, cats, cats, tigers and other beasts, and finally defeated the Shennong clan and Xuan You through the Battle of Hanquan and the Battle of Zhuolu, and unified the world.

Subsequently, the Yellow Emperor came to the top of Mount Tai, met the various tribes of the world, held a solemn ceremony to enshrine the heavens and the earth, and officially assumed the title of emperor.

For those tribes that did not return, the Yellow Emperor took his troops to conquest, and after pacifying, he left, splitting the mountains and opening the way along the way, never living peacefully in a place.

The Yellow Emperor moved around, had no fixed residence, and set up military camps for self-defense wherever he went.

The Yellow Emperor went east to the East China Sea, ascended Marushan and Mount Tai, went west to Kongtong, climbed Jitou Mountain, went south to the Yangtze River, climbed Xiongshan and Xiangshan, went north to Busan, and built a capital at the foot of Mount Chaolushan.

After the Yellow Emperor laid the foundation for the world, he formulated the state's official system, such as the name of Yun, Jinyun, and set up a left and right superintendent, responsible for supervising the various tribes under the world, and Fenghou, Limu, Changxian, and Dahong were appointed as ministers to govern the people.

The Yellow Emperor often enshrined the ghosts and gods of the mountains and rivers, used the baoding given by the heavens to observe the movement of the sun, and used the yarrow used for divination to calculate the calendar and predict the solar terms.

The Yellow Emperor conformed to the law of the four hours of heaven and earth, speculated on the changes in yin and yang, explained the principles of life and death, discussed the reasons for survival and death, sowed hundreds of grains of grass and trees according to the seasons, and domesticated birds, animals and silkworms.

The Yellow Emperor lived in Xuanyuan Mountain and married Concubine Zu, the daughter of Xilingguo.

Changzu was the concubine of the Yellow Emperor and had two sons, one named Xuan Hu, who was made a prince and lived in Jiangshui; the other was called Changyi, who was also named a prince and lived in Ruoshui.

The Yellow Emperor had a total of twenty-five sons, of whom fourteen established their own surnames.
