When it comes to the ancestors of the Chinese nation, many people will naturally think of the YanDi and the Yellow Emperor, the leaders of these two ancient tribes who were the co-masters of Chinese civilization. According to legend, there are many tribes living in the Yellow River Basin, the larger of which are the Yandi tribe living in the Jiangshui River Basin and the Yellow Emperor tribe living in the Jishui River Basin.
Among them, the strength of the Yellow Emperor was relatively strong, and the various tribes attacked each other, and the powerful YanDi and the Yellow Emperor defeated many tribes and incorporated them into themselves. The two of them also fought each other, and eventually the Yellow Emperor defeated the Yan Emperor and became the most powerful tribal leader in the Yellow River Valley.
Xuan You was originally a tribe with Emperor Yan, and later because of the conflict with Emperor Yan, he left the tribe and went it alone, and the fleeing Xuan You integrated 81 small tribes to become the Jiuli Tribe, and Xuan You was the chief, and Xuan You, who had accumulated strength, led his own tribal people to fight with Emperor Yan and defeated Emperor Yan.
The Yan Emperor, who had suffered a defeat, ran to the Yellow Emperor for help, and the two tribes of Yan and Huang joined hands to deal with Xuan You. The victory over Emperor Yanyu was greatly enhanced, and he led his people north to fight against the Yanhuang Alliance, and although the Xuanyu tribe was brave and good at fighting, the Yellow Emperor was superior in combat wisdom.
The Yellow Emperor invented the guide car and also invented various weapons. Yan Huang, who possessed a new weapon, defeated the Xuan you tribe at Zhuolu, and Xuan You himself was beheaded by Ying Long. Some of the defeated people of Xuan you joined the Yanhuang Alliance, and the newly formed alliance became the ancestors of the Huaxia people. Some of the Jiuli people, who were defeated and did not join, were scattered everywhere.
Therefore, some experts have pointed out that people with four surnames may be descendants of Xuan you. The first surname is Li, and experts have found that there are three sources of the Surname Li, one is from the ancient emperor Emperor Zhao, the second is from the Jiuli tribe of Xuan you, and the third is the name of the State of Li during the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Familiar people with the name Of Li include Dawn, Li Zi and so on.
The second surname is Zou, some of the defeated Jiuli people migrated to the Zou Tu area, which is now the Shandong region, in order to escape the war, they changed their name to Zou Tu, as one of the evidence of the descendants of Xuan You is that they say that the totem preserved tells the mythical story of Xuan You.
The third surname is Tu, which is the famous singer Tu Honggang. Some of the Tu surnames were changed from Zou Tu's surname in this area, some people changed their names to Zou, and some changed their names to Tu. Some of them are changed from other surnames, such as the sub-surname and the Yao surname.
The fourth surname, 蚩, is one of the rarer surnames in China, Minglun Compilation? The Clan Code clearly states: "The Clan Clan, after the Clan You Clan also." "Wujin, Jiangsu, Sichuan Yanbian is still distributed. If someone is one of these 4 surnames, then he may be a descendant of Xuan you.
Yan Huang not only founded the Huaxia people, but also made many contributions to the Chinese civilization, YanDi, the number Shennong clan, the origin of the Yandi is because their tribe is good at using fire, the story of Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs is well known, Yandi not only will cure diseases and save people, he also invented two kinds of arable land agricultural tools, taught people to cultivate, he invented pottery and cooking utensils used in life.
The Yellow Emperor, gongsun clan, surnamed Xuanyuan, records that the Yellow Emperor was "born a god, weak and able to speak, young and obedient, long and dunmin, mature and intelligent." "The Yellow Emperor can cultivate grain, he invented the guide car, compiled the calendar, compiled the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic", his wife Changzu raised silkworm reeling silk, taught people how to weave clothes, and the contribution to Chinese civilization is huge.
In order to express the legitimacy of their rule, the emperors of later generations have expressed that they are descendants of the Yellow Emperor, and even the regime established by some ethnic minorities is the same, and it is conceivable how great the influence of the Yellow Emperor is. However, when people mention Xuan you, they will always discuss Xuan You and Yan Huang as opposing sides.
In fact, Xuan You and Emperor Yan were originally a tribe, but later due to contradictions split out, and Xuan You was a defeated party, so in people's impressions as if Xuan You did not have any merits, this view is wrong, the Xuan You tribe lived in the Yellow River and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River at that time, when Xuan You led his people to carry out extensive crop cultivation in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
He also invented metal smelting, and he also enacted criminal law. Book of Weeks? The Lü Punishment says, "Xuan You punished the Miao people. It can be seen that Xuanyu was the earliest criminal law formulator. Both Yan Huang and Xuan You have made great contributions to Chinese civilization and should be remembered and remembered.
