Are Shennong and Emperor Yan the same person in the same period?

Emperor Yan is also known as Shennong's. There are many legends of Emperor Yan, sites of Emperor Yan's activities and sacrificial cultural relics related to Changzhi City. In Liling Village, Changzhi County, south of the city, legend has it that Emperor Yan founded the Kingdom of Qi (i.e., the Kingdom of Li) here.

In the east of the urban area, there is a Baigu Mountain (Lao Xiang Mountain), where the Yandi Shennong clan tasted the hundred grains and prospered farming, completing the great transition from fishing and hunting to farming, from nomadism to settlement. There is the Shennong Temple of Digu Temple on the mountainside of Baigu, and the temple, the foundation and the pillar foundation and the scripture building of the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties still exist. In Guancun at the west foot of Baigu Mountain, there is an existing complete Yandi Temple, which is a building of the Ming and Qing dynasties and a city-level cultural relics protection unit.

There is also Yandi Temple in Baihou Village at the southern foot of Baigu Mountain, and there are still the main hall of the middle courtyard, the dedication pavilion, the east and west corner halls, etc. There is a sheepshead mountain at the junction of Changzhi County and Gaoping County, which is more than 30 kilometers away from Changzhi City, and there are Yandi Shennong Temple, Yandi Shennong City, Yandi Shennong Well, and the remnants of ruins and relics can still be seen today. Fajiu Mountain, 70 miles northwest of Changzi County, is said to be the stone of Emperor Yan's youngest daughter, Nuwa, who turned into Jingwei Bird to reclaim the sea.

There is Yandi Temple in Setou Village, Changzi County, and the Beigao Temple in the north of Changzi City is also called Yandi Temple. In Licheng County and Huguan County, there are also more ruins and temples of Emperor Yan's activities. As a result, in Changzhi City and its surroundings, it has constituted a cultural area of Yandi with dense cultural relics, complete types and rich contents, and also formed the concept of Yandi that is Shennong and Shennong is Yandi.

But in ancient times, Emperor Yan and Shennong were two people. The Yandi ethnic group arose in the Guanzhong region, and in the later period, it was mainly active in northern Henan and Shanxi Shangdang, and established the Li State in Shangdang, making Shangdang (that is, the area around Changzhi today) the center of its activities. Shennong is the legendary inventor of agriculture and medicine, he made wooden rake, wooden rake, taught people to farm, and legend has it that he tasted all kinds of herbs, found medicinal herbs, and taught people to heal diseases.

During the Yan and Huang periods, after the Yan Emperor and the Yellow Emperor were both Shennong, the two tribes united to form the Huaxia clan. "Historical Records: The Five Emperors" also mentions: When the Yellow Emperor rose, it happened to be "the decline of Shennong", and the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor fought in the field of Hanquan.

It can be seen that Emperor Yan and Shennong are people of two eras. Since Shennong and Emperor Yan are both leaders in the Chinese ethnic group, "Shiben Emperor Chapter" first linked Emperor Yan and Shennong together and called "Emperor Yan Shennong", saying that Emperor Yan is Shennong's, Emperor Yan is his own name, and Shennong is his code name. "Hanshu Law Chronicles" said that they have successively sealed Mount Tai, all taste a hundred grains, prosperous farming, and have been replaced by the Yellow Emperor, in the process of legend the two gradually merged into one, to the end of the Western Han Dynasty gradually stereotyped, and included in the series of ancient emperors, namely Ku (Fu) Xi - Yan Emperor Shennong - Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan - Shaohao Jin Tian - Gao Yang - Emperor Gao Xin - Emperor Shun Tao Tang - Emperor Shun Youyu.

The fact that Emperor Yan and Shennong's clan were able to be combined into one by later generations fully illustrates the significance and influence of Emperor Yan in tasting a hundred grains and teaching people to cultivate in the Shangdang area, and also proves from another side that Emperor Yan's agricultural affairs in Shangdang have long been recognized by historians before the Han Dynasty and are recognized by people.

The reason why Emperor Yan is called Shennong is because he himself is very legendary and very good at agriculture. Legend has it that Emperor Yan has a bull's head and a dragon face, such a peculiar appearance, whether in ancient times or in modern times, is very peculiar, and he is destined to not be an ordinary person when he looks like this. Legend has it that Emperor Yan was able to speak three days after birth, walk on the ground in five days, grow teeth in his mouth in seven days, and by the time he was three years old, he had already begun to grow crops.

Therefore, it is reasonable to have such a superb talent in agriculture and be called Shennong. <>

And in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", it is recorded that Shennong's body is also very strange, after he eats something poisonous, the toxicity can be directly reflected in the internal organs, and the toxicity of herbs can be seen clearly through the ** and belly, so this is also the origin of Shennong's taste of herbs. And when Emperor Yan was born, a lot of strange things happened, one thing was that there were nine more wells in a place near Emperor Yan's house for some reason, and the water in these wells was interconnected, and when water was drawn in one well, other wells would also react. <>

In fact, many books say that the well was invented by Boyi, so many historians also have some disputes about this aspect. At the time of Shennong's Clan, the number of beasts had actually dropped a lot, but the people couldn't be allowed to eat like this. Therefore, Shennong's also went through some investigation on this issue, and then carried out reforms.

So he led everyone to grow crops together, and also invented a lot of labor tools, such as hoes and rakes. <>

Therefore, Shennong's has also made a great impact on our lives today, and has also promoted the development of human society. Therefore, the story of Shennong's has gone through the evolution and records of all dynasties, and it has become more and more evil and mythical. In many stories, Emperor Yan Shennong is worshiped as a god by everyone, which also shows that everyone respects him very much.

Because he taught people to farm, and it had a lot to do with the development of agriculture, he was called Shennong.

Because he tasted all kinds of herbs, discovered the principle of ** disease from various grasses, and rescued many people, he was called Shennong's.

It is because when he was born, a particularly strange landscape appeared next to him, and then a particularly magical scene appeared, so many people thought that he was the reincarnation of a god.

It's because this man grows food, this person has been studying the yield of grain, and he has been studying plants.

No.

In fact, the reason is very simple, in history, Shennong is Shennong, and Emperor Yan is Emperor Yan, and the two are not the same person. More importantly, Shennong and Emperor Yan are historical figures (or tribal code names) in two stages, one from a matrilineal society and the other from a patrilineal society. In the pre-Qin literature, the relationship between Shennong and Emperor Yan is not clear, but generally Emperor Yan is Emperor Yan and Shennong is Shennong, even if both appear in a passage, the tone also indicates that it is not the same person.

The Chinese Jin language records that Yan Huang is the two brothers, "the Yellow Emperor is made by Ji Shui, and the Yan Emperor is made by Jiang Shui". Although the Yan Huang brothers are not very credible, it also indicates that the two may be roughly in the same era.

The era of Emperor Yan is the Neolithic Age, and there are currently six disputes in the hometown of Emperor Yan, namely: Baoji in Shaanxi, Lianshan in Huitong County in Hunan, Yanling County in Zhuzhou, Hunan, Suizhou in Hubei, Gaoping in Shanxi, and Zhecheng in Henan. The range of activities of the Yandi tribe is in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, in Jiangshui (one says that it is the Qingjiang River in Weibin District, Baoji City, and the other is Qishui in Qishan County, Baoji City.

The tribe began to flourish in the area, initially in Chendi, and later moved the capital to Qufu.

Be.

From ancient times to the present, the Yan Emperor, who is regarded as the symbol of the ancestor of the Chinese nation, is the Yan Emperor Shennong, who is as famous as the Yellow Emperor.

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. From Shennong, the Jiang tribe has a total of nine generations of Emperor Yan, Shennong Emperor Kui, Kuisheng Chaos Argument Emperor Cheng, Chengsheng Emperor Ming Li Song, Ming Sheng Emperor Zhi, Zhisheng Emperor, Emperor Wai, Mourning Emperor Ke, Kesheng Emperor Yu, 530 years of succession.

Yandi is the honorific title of a tribal leader, and Yandi refers not to a certain person but to the contemporary leader of a certain tribe. There are also legends about the views of this part of the people. Legend has it that Emperor Yan was the honorific title of the leader of the tribe surnamed Jiang in ancient times, and 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.

And Shennong's pai bend is the first generation of Emperor Yan. From Shennong, there are nine generations of Yan Emperors in the Jiang tribe, which are Shennong, Emperor Kui, Emperor Cheng, Emperor Ming, Emperor Zhi, Emperor Yak, Emperor Ai, Tik, and Emperor Yu.

Expansion of the uproar of the number of exhibition materials:

Yandi Shennong, one of the three emperors and five emperors, is one of the local folklore of Suizhou, Hubei Province, and a national intangible cultural heritage. After Nuwa Fuxi, I don't know how many years later, another sun god Emperor Yan appeared. He and Zhu Rong, the god of fire with a beast body and human face, jointly govern the place of 12,000 miles in the south, and are the emperor of the south.

The Shennong clan was originally one of the Three Emperors. Once he saw birds planting seeds, which led to the invention of grain agriculture, and because of these outstanding contributions, everyone called him Shennong.

He saw that people were sick, and went to the garden of the Emperor of Heaven to get Yao grass from the garden of the Emperor of Heaven in the field of Duguang, and Shennong took this whip from the field of Duguang and walked all the way back to the Lieshan. Shennong was poisoned many times by tasting herbs, all thanks to tea detoxification. Because he vowed to taste all the grass, he finally died because he tasted the grass of broken intestines.

In order to commemorate his kindness and merits, people worship him as the god of the king of medicine, and build the temple of the king of medicine to worship at four o'clock.

Who is Shennong? Shennong's is another legendary figure who has made many contributions to the Chinese nation after Fuxi. It is said that Fu Xi invented animal husbandry, while he invented agriculture and medicine.

The legend of the Shennong clan.

There are many legends about Shennong's family, such as that he was born with a crystal belly, and he can see the food he eats. In ancient times, people lacked common sense of life and often ate indiscriminately, which led to a variety of diseases, and even died. Shennong was determined to taste all the herbs, so he put what he could eat and what was delicious in his left pocket, and put what he couldn't eat and what was not delicious in his right pocket, and then told people.

It was from this time that the pharmaceutical industry in China began to appear.

During the Shennong period, the population had gradually flourished. The prey that can be eaten is getting less and less, and people are slowly starting to run out of food. What can I do?

Shennong's was worried. One day, he saw a bird with a red body, and a grain of grain in its beak fell to the ground. Shennong's family buried the millet in the soil casually, and later a piece of millet grew.

Shennong tasted it and thought it was delicious. In addition to the surprise, he taught the people to cut the messy grass, use some simple production tools, and began to reclaim the land and plant millet. With millet to eat, it is natural to solve the hunger problem of some people, but how can we have more millet?

Shennong began to distinguish between grains and weeds. He tried to plant the same, screened the same, and finally picked out five kinds of millet, millet, wheat, rice, and beans, and later people respectfully called him "the lord of grains" and "the lord of agriculture".

Who is Shennong? Is Shennong's Emperor Yan?

Many ancient Chinese books and historical materials regard Shennong and Emperor Yan as one person, such as "Shiben Imperial Lineage", "Huainanzi Shi Zexun", "Notes on the Water Classic", etc. But are Shennong's and Yandi really the same person? Scholars throughout the ages have been doing this for a long time.

After various historical research, scholars have raised questions: after 70 generations, some say that the Shennong tribe has experienced 17 generations, and it declined when the Yellow Emperor tribe rose. However, Emperor Yan was the leader of a tribe of the same era as the Yellow Emperor, and this Tinghui tribe existed for about 8 generations according to historical data.

According to the calculation of 30 years in ancient times, the Shennong tribe should be around 500 to 2000 years, and the Yandi tribe should be around 240 years. How could two tribes with such a big difference in time be the same person?

In addition, in "Zhuangzi and Thieves", it is said that Shennong's "has no intention of harming each other", and "Shang Junshu and Painting Strategy" also supports this statement. According to this, the Shennong clan should be a ruler who loves the people and has no intention of fighting with weapons, how could he compete with the Yellow Emperor for power and power like Emperor Yan, so that he has to fight with the Yellow Emperor three times? Not only these two books, but also "Historical Records: Feng Zen Book" and "The Legendary Era of Ancient Chinese History" divide Shennong and Emperor Yan into two people.
