Regarding the Shennong clan, what we are most familiar with is that Shennong tasted hundred herbs, in fact, it was the ancient Shennong, that is, the founding prince of the Shennong dynasty.
And the Shennong clan is also known as the Yan Emperor because it carries fire virtue, so the Yan Emperor is not just a person, but the Shennong Dynasty, they are the leaders of the Huaxia tribe after Nuwa, and the Yan Emperor who is the founding prince of the country is also the Shennong Yan Emperor, who has made great achievements, leading the Huaxia tribe from the hunting civilization to the agricultural civilization, realizing the class leap and the upgrade of civilization.

2. Let's talk about Xuanyuan and the Yellow Emperor.
The Xuanyuan we are most familiar with may actually be a poem by Mr. Lu Xun in modern times, "Self-titled Little Portrait":
The Lingtai has no way to escape the gods, and the wind and rain are like a rock and a dark homeland.
Wishing that the cold star was not noticed, I recommended Xuanyuan with my blood.
Those who have read the "History" know that in fact, Xuanyuan is the Yellow Emperor, Xuanyuan is the name of the Yellow Emperor, and the Five Emperors make this matter clear at the beginning of the Book: the Yellow Emperor, the son of Shaodian, the surname Gongsun, the name Xuanyuan.
3. Emperor Yan
At the time of Xuanyuan recorded in the "Chronicle of History", the Yan Emperor was actually the last king of the Shennong clan, that is, the last Yan Emperor. At this time, the Yan Emperor, also known as the Shennong Dynasty, had begun to weaken, and its national strength was not as good as before.
Later, through the Great Battle of Hanquan, the Yan Emperor was greatly defeated, the Yellow Emperor respected the world on behalf of the Shennong clan, and the Yellow Emperor marched south to fight in the north, and the world did not dare to disobey.
4. Xuanyu
Xuanyu was a tribe on the southeast coast, but at that time, the power was also very large, and it was the biggest scourge of the dynasty at that time, which was the biggest scourge of the dynasty at that time, in the chaos of chaos, wanting to be independent, and disobeying the rule of Emperor Yan.
Unexpectedly, later the Yellow Emperor took the Yan Emperor and replaced the world, so Xuan You became a major problem for the Yellow Emperor, and finally the Yellow Emperor recruited troops and launched a great decisive battle with Xuan You in zhuolu's wilderness, and finally because of the disparity in strength, he killed Xuan You and unified the Central Plains.
Chinese xiang comes from the descendants of Yan Huang, so it is in historical order, first inflammation and then yellow, not first yellow and then inflammation, since the beginning of Yan Huang, civilization has initially taken shape, and gradually moved towards the feudal dynasty, with a unified state and etiquette, system, hierarchy, regulations, writing, books and so on.
