Why are we called descendants of Yan and Huang ?

Because we are the descendants of the Yan Emperor and the Yellow Emperor.

Because Yan Huang is the ancestor of China.

It is said that, according to ancient legends, people in ancient times lived by grass. There are three large clans and tribes that have entered the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River: one is the clan tribe headed by the "Yandi" from the west; the second is the Yiren clan tribe from the east, with "Chiyou" as the leader; The third is the clan tribe headed by the "Yellow Emperor" from the northwest.

Emperor Yan is the honorific title of the leader of the tribe surnamed Jiang in ancient China, called Shennong, and it is said that the leader of the tribe surnamed Jiang was called Emperor Yan because he knew how to use fire to get the throne. The Yellow Emperor is the leader of the ancient Chinese tribal alliance, called Xuanyuan, the co-ruler of the Chinese nation in ancient China, the head of the Five Emperors, and is respected as the "first ancestor of humanity" in China.

The Yellow Emperor and the Yandi tribe were the first to live in Shaanxi. The Yellow Emperor clan eventually settled near Zhuolu in Hebei Province. Emperor Yan eventually reached the present-day Shandong region.

Chiyou is the leader of the Jiuli tribe. The areas where the Li people are active are mainly in present-day Shandong, Henan and Anhui. Legend has it that the Yandi and Jiuli tribes fought a war in order to compete for a fertile land in the Yellow River Valley.

The Yan Emperor clan was defeated and asked for help from the Yellow Emperor clan, and the Huang and Yan clans merged. Together, they captured and killed Chiyou and unified the tribes of the Central Plains.

Later, the Huang and Yan tribes in the north fought for many years, and as a result, Emperor Yan was defeated. So these two major clans and tribes combined to jointly develop the Yellow River Valley, creating a glorious culture in ancient times.

According to the above myths and legends, it can be seen that the three tribes of the Yellow Emperor, the Yandi and the Jiuli tribe gradually merged with each other with the Yellow Emperor tribe as the mainstay, and the two tribes gradually merged into the Huaxia tribe, which was called the Han people after the Han Dynasty and the Tang people after the Tang Dynasty. The Han people say that they are "descendants of Yan and Huang" or "Yan and Huang Shixuan". Emperor Yan and Emperor Yan are also the ancestors of Chinese culture and technology, and the reason why the Yellow Emperor and Emperor Yan are revered as the ancestors of the Chinese nation is not only because of their contributions to the development of Chinese civilization, but also because of their surnames.

Now everyone's surname basically comes from the surname Jiang of Emperor Yan or the surname of Ji of Emperor Huang, so we call ourselves "descendants of Yan and Huang".

As a result, the Yellow Emperor became the common ancestor of China's multi-ethnic state. Later, all ethnic groups believed that they were the descendants of the Yellow Emperor, called "descendants of Yan and Huang".

The opening chapter of the "Historical Records", "Historical Records: The Benji of the Five Emperors", records the life of the Yellow Emperor, the ancestor of the Chinese nation. It is recorded in the text that more than 4,000 years ago, the Yandi tribe and the Yellow Emperor tribe were united and formed the Yanhuang Alliance to jointly defend the stability of the world. "The combination of Yan and Huang", the princes and guests, created a national integration, stability and unification of the ancient world.

Since then, Chinese people all over the world have a common name - "descendants of Yan and Huang".

Emperor Yan is the honorific title of the leader of the tribe surnamed Jiang in ancient China, called Shennong, also known as Kuikui, Lianshan, Lieshan, alias Zhu Xiang. Legend has it that the leader of the tribe surnamed Jiang was called Emperor Yan because he knew how to use fire to get the throne. According to legend, Emperor Yan Niu was the first person, he tasted herbs and developed herbs to cure diseases; He invented slash-and-burn farming, created two kinds of soil turning farming tools, and taught people to cultivate food crops in the wasteland; He also led the tribesmen in making pottery and cooking utensils for food and drink.

The Yellow Emperor, the leader of the ancient Chinese tribal alliance, the head of the Five Emperors. The Yellow Emperor is revered as the "First Ancestor of Humanity". The history of the Yellow Emperor is called the Yellow Emperor because of the Rui of Tude.

During the reign of the Yellow Emperor, he sowed hundreds of grains and plants, vigorously developed production, and began to make clothes, build boats and cars, make music rhythms, and make "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing".

The Battle of Hanquan was a war between the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor for the leader of the Great China Tribal Alliance. Later, the Yellow Emperor defeated Chi You, the leader of the Jiuli tribe of the Miao Man Group, in the Battle of Zhuolu, and his power expanded, and the cultural civilization of Yanhuang influenced the surrounding tribes. The Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor gradually merged with the tribes living in the east and some of the tribes in the south, and the ancient Great China Tribal Alliance was finally formed, forming the prototype of the Chinese nation, which was called the Han nationality after the Han Dynasty.

Among the ethnic groups and tribes in the Central Plains at that time, the Yellow Emperor tribe was stronger and more cultural, so the Yellow Emperor tribe became the representative of the Central Plains culture. The two emperors of Yan and Huang became the ancestors of the Han nationality. Therefore, people often refer to the Han people as the "descendants of Yan and Huang" or the descendants of the Yellow Emperor.

The Chinese call themselves "the descendants of Yan and Huang", and jointly respect Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang as the first ancestors of the Chinese nation, and become the spiritual driving force for the unity and struggle of the Chinese nation.

The descendants of Yan Huang uttered the "Chinese Zhou Yuxia": "Emperor Tianjiazhi, Zuo is the world, and the surname is '姒', and the clan is known as 'Youxia',Is the deceased without favor? All yellow, after the flame also. Among them, Yan and Huang refer to Emperor Yan and Emperor Huangdi.

Emperor Yan is also known as the Red Emperor and the Lieshan clan, and the Emperor Yan makes plows and grows grains. Establish a market, the first market. Heal hemp for cloth, and the people wear clothes.

Make a five-stringed harp, to delight the people. Cutting wood as a bow to power the world. Make pottery and improve your life.

It is the first ancestor of the Chinese nation. He allied himself with the Yellow Emperor and gradually formed the Huaxia clan.

The Yellow Emperor, sowing hundreds of grains and plants, vigorously developing production, the beginning of the production of clothes, the construction of boats, the invention of the guide car, the calculation, the rhythm of music, the creation of medicine, during this period there was writing. The Yellow Emperor is the first of the five emperors, and there are four ladies, including the ancestor and the mother-in-law.

The Yandi tribe and the Yellow Emperor tribe continued to develop, and intermarried with various ethnic minorities, slowly forming the Huaxia tribe. Therefore, Chinese often refer to themselves as the descendants of Yan Huang. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Huaxia people finally completed the formation of the Huaxia people through long-term exchanges and communication, which is manifested in the fact that the Huaxia people not only tend to be the same in language, writing, culture, customs, etc., but also everyone traces the origin of the family back to the two major tribes of Yandi and Huangdi.

To a large extent, the vast majority of Chinese surnames also trace their ancestry back to the Yellow Emperor Yandi. For example, there are 86 of the top 120 largest surnames in China today, accounting for 72% of the 120 surnames, belonging to the Yellow Emperor clan

Today, we are in a new era of civil society, where national consciousness is gradually fading, and historical grievances and grievances, like clouds of smoke and clouds, have long become fossilized stories that we can look at, and perhaps accumulate enough memories in many places.

However, in any case, we should not forget the ancestors of Yan and Huang who made outstanding contributions to Chinese civilization in ancient times, and cherish their memory in order to have more courage and wisdom and create a better life in the face of new challenges in the history of human development.

The earliest civilization in the Yellow River Basin was the Yellow Emperor tribe and the Yandi tribe, and after the Battle of Hanquan, they gradually merged into the Huaxia tribe, and the Huaxia people believed that the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor were their ancestors, so they both became the descendants of Yan and Huang.

The reason why we are the descendants of Yan and Huang:The opening chapter of the "Historical Records" "Historical Records: The Five Emperors" records the life of the Yellow Emperor, the ancestor of the Chinese nation, and the text records that more than 4,000 years ago, the Yandi tribe and the Yellow Emperor's tribe were united to form the Yanhuang Alliance to protect the stability of the world. "Yan and Huang combined", the princes and guests, created a national integration, stability and unification of the ancient rule of the world, since then, the Chinese all over the world have a common name - "Yan and Huang descendants".

Meaning:

"Yan Huang" refers to the leaders of two different tribes in primitive Chinese society. Emperor Yan's surname is Jiang and he is the leader of the Yandi clan. They entered the Central Plains from the west as nomads and had a long-term inter-tribal conflict with the Jiuli tribe, led by Chi You.

Finally, he was forced to flee to Zhuolu (present-day Hebei Province). With the assistance of the Yellow Emperor clan, he attacked and killed Chiyou. The Yellow Emperor's surname is Ji and his name is Xuanyuan.

Later, the Yan and Huang tribes clashed three times in Hanquan (it is said that Hanquan is in Huailai County, Hebei). The Yellow Emperor defeated the Yandi and entered the Central Plains from the northwest.

Three Emperors: Suiren Clan, Fuxi Clan, Shenlong Clan;

Five Emperors: Yellow Emperor, 颛顼 (zhuān xū), Emperor 喾 (kù), Yao, Shun.

There are many ways to say it, and you can add it yourself.

Let's look at the picture first!

Let's briefly sort out the relationship between Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang (many Chinese sayings):

1. Emperor Yan: This is not a person, but the honorific title of the leader of a tribal inheritance! The Yandi in the battle between the Yandi and the Yellow Emperor that we often say is the eighth generation (also said the twelfth generation), and the first generation of the Yandi is the Shenlong clan who tasted the herbs.

Before the Yellow Emperor, the Yandi tribe was the largest and most glorious tribe, belonging to the largest tribal alliance in the basin. In the later period, everyone knows, Emperor Yan and Chiyou (God of War) war, Emperor Yan signed a contract with the Yellow Emperor to defeat Chiyou, after the Yan Emperor and the Yellow Emperor war, the Yellow Emperor unified the Yangtze River and the Yellow River Basin, since then it is a great unification, a new era of tribal alliance.

2. See the picture above. The red prongs are the order of development of each tribe, and the black tips are the order of tribal leaders.

The legend of the Yellow Emperor is located in Ji Xuanhuan (Emperor Shaohao); Shao Hao is located in Emperor Gaoyang (Emperor Gaoyang) - one says that the Yellow Emperor is directly located in Emperor Gaoyang;

The legend is located in the emperor; The legend of the emperor is located in Zhi; Soon after Zhi's reign, he was passed on to Yao;

Then there is the well-known story - "Yao Shun Yu Chan Jean" (I don't believe this paragraph anyway, I have time to summarize some evidence and analyze my thoughts for you).

So far, the order of inheritance in ancient times has been basically explained. Do you still have questions--- can these show that we are the descendants of Yan and Huang?

3. After the Great War of Emperor Yan and Yellow Emperor, the tribes were unified, and knowing the integration and inheritance of various tribes, in fact, it has been able to explain the origin of our Huaxia tribe (called Han nationality after the Han Dynasty), and the basic inheritance on the land of China.

If that's not enough, add a little more:

Yao Shun Yu Zen let "after that, officially entered the well-known dynasty. First, there was a Yu Dynasty (established by Emperor Shun) before the Xia Dynasty, but it was not recognized.

Xia Dynasty: The founder of Qi --- son of Dayu. The ancestor Emperor Gaoyang.

Shang Dynasty: Founder Shang Tang (China's first dynasty with direct contemporaneous written records). Ancestor Qi (son of Emperor Yu) - invented the calendar of the Fire Age, and later generations respected the "God of Fire".

Zhou Dynasty: The founder Ji Chang, the ancestor Houji (abandoned, the son of Emperor Yu).

Qin Dynasty: The founder of Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng, the ancestor Da Fei (a descendant of the Yellow Emperor's grandson), Shun gave him the surname Ying.

The introduction of the inheritance of the great dynasty is over, so far, can it be clear?

In this article, as far as I know, I will sort out the origin of the descendants of Yan and Huang for you. As the descendants of Yan and Huang, we must not know why we are called the descendants of Yan and Huang, that is very embarrassing.

If there is any mistake, please correct it!
