In fact, he is a character in the ancient Qin dynasty of the mainland, the classic of mountains and seas, and is the chief of the Jiuli Tribal Alliance, one of the three major tribes active in the Central Plains, and one of the most impressive things about him is the great battle with the emperor and the Yan Emperor for the right to rule the Central Plains.
After the Great War, the Second Emperor of Yanhuang ruled the entire Central Plains and created Chinese civilization, and because of this, all the descendants of the Chinese nation called themselves descendants of Yanhuang.
As for Xuan You, it is also specifically described in the mythological stories of the mainland, and the historical records say that Xuan You was the warrior god of war in the ancient period, leading the various tribes of the Jiuli Tribal Alliance to develop farming, smelting iron, making five soldiers, creating hundred arts, tomorrow's Tao, and rationalization in the Central Plains, making outstanding contributions to the formation of the Chinese nation and Chinese culture.
At the same time, the historical data also says that Xuanyu is different from the appearance of ordinary people, he eats iron and stone, the hooves of cattle, four eyes and six hands, the ears are like swords, and the head has horns. Everywhere there is trouble, and there is no evil in burning and looting. In order to uphold justice, Emperor Yan and The Yellow Emperor joined forces to defeat the Nine Li Tribal Alliance led by Xuan You, and Xuan You himself died at the hands of the Yellow Emperor.
So, is the real clam in history really shaped like a monster as recorded in the historical records?
Moreover, since he was so good that he could lead his tribe to create so many civilizations and lay the foundation for the pre-Qin culture on the mainland, why did the Yan Emperor and the Yellow Emperor unite to eliminate him? Is it really because he is causing trouble everywhere, burning and looting?
First, what kind of person is Xuanyu? Why did the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor join forces to eliminate him?
Historical records record that in the ancient period more than 6,000 years ago, the Central Plains were ruled by various tribes, and after a long period of continuous conquest and integration, three major tribes were finally formed, namely the Yan Emperor, the Yellow Emperor and the Jiuli Tribal Alliance.
According to legend, Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang were compatriots and ruled a large tribe, and Xuan Youben was in the same tribe as Emperor Yan, but due to differences of opinion, they parted ways and became the chief of the Jiuli Tribal Alliance.
He is a very wise and leadership person, and he has 81 brothers under him, all of whom are brave and brave, and can fight well. Under their leadership, the Jiuli Tribal Alliance developed rapidly, especially in the refining of weapons and agricultural civilization, far ahead of the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor.
From these records, it can be seen that jiuli, emperor Yan, and emperor huang were originally considered to be one in terms of roots, but because of the internal contradictions between them, they were divided into three forces. Among them, the civilization of Jiuli is much higher than that of the tribes led by the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor, which naturally poses a threat to these two.
The Second Emperor of Yanhuang was originally a brother born of a mother, and in the face of the threat of Jiuli, they could only defeat it by uniting, so they joined forces to launch this great war, and finally eliminated Jiuli, and Xuan you also died at the hands of the Yellow Emperor.
As for whether Xuan You was a miscreant before his death, burning and looting everywhere, the historical data is inconsistent.
It may be the slander of the Second Emperor of Yanhuang, or it may be that Xuan You relied on the strength of his own tribe and burned and plundered other tribes.
However, a careful analysis is not difficult to find that no matter which point, it is not the main reason why the Yanhuang Emperor joined forces to eliminate him, at best, it can only be regarded as their call on their respective tribes to conquer Jiuli.
The main reason for their joint conquest of Jiuli was because the civilization of Jiuli was far above them, which made the Second Emperor of Yanhuang feel deeply threatened, so he joined forces to launch this great war.
After the great war, Xuan you was killed by the Yellow Emperor, and all his tribes submitted to the victor, and the two major tribes of Yan and Huang finally completed the unification of the Central Plains and created Chinese civilization.
Therefore, the main reason why Emperor Yan and The Yellow Emperor joined forces to defeat Xuan You was not that Xuan You did anything, but only that they joined forces to eliminate this great threat and unify the various tribes in the Central Plains.
Just like the warlords in the later dynasties, it was only for their own survival, or for their own interests.
Is It true that Xuanyu is like a beast, as recorded in the historical records?
Regarding the appearance of Xuan You, it is mainly recorded in the "Book of Narrative Differences", which says that Xuan You was a cow's hoof, with four eyes and six hands, ears like swords, and horns on his head.
It is not difficult to find out on closer analysis that this is clearly fictional. Since Xuan You was the leader of the Nine Li Tribal Alliance, if he really looked like a beast, how could he get the approval of his people? I'm afraid that there is no need for the Second Emperor of Yanhuang to conquer him, and even his own soldiers will eliminate him as an alien.
The reason why in the historical data, the dragon you is described as such a look, one is because the ancient worship of the dragon on the mainland is regarded as the king of the hundred beasts, which is the symbol of the god of war. Since Xuan You is brave and abnormal, people will gradually form this image of his appearance in later generations, in order to render Xuan You's bravery.
Second, there is another important reason, that is, the truth that has remained unchanged from ancient times to the present - "success and defeat".
As the saying goes, "The winner is the king and the loser is the thief", this sentence not only applies to future generations, but is still available in the pre-Qin period. As the victors of this great war, the Yan Emperor and the Yellow Emperor naturally unified the Central Plains and created the Chinese civilization.
On the other hand, no matter how much glory he led the Jiuli Tribal Alliance to create and what contributions he made to Chinese civilization, in this great war, as a loser, his deeds were naturally spread by the victorious side.
For their own enemies, the victors of the successive dynasties on the mainland will not use words of praise to warn their descendants, and they will certainly smear them, so that they can make their own teachers famous and establish their prestige in front of their subordinates. Second, he can also create an image for himself and leave a name in history with the attitude of a righteous person.
Therefore, as victors, Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang naturally wanted to trumpet that they were the righteous side, and their enemy Xuan You, whether he burned and plundered before his death, after being defeated and killed, his image would definitely be smeared, and even he would not hesitate to say that Xuan You was a monster, which reflected that it was a righteous act to kill him.
