The Chinese are nations that pay great attention to bloodline inheritance in their bones. The system of inheritance of the eldest son of ancient emperors, and the disputes between the direct and sidelines of wealthy families all show China's obsession with noble bloodlines in its bones.
And the descendants of Yanhuang and the descendants of the dragon, these mysterious bloodline inheritances have undoubtedly cast a layer of innate noble cloak for the Chinese! "
China's unique historical culture has always made our inheritance system full of mysterious legends. All the legends of ancient times make the "born" of the Chinese look particularly special.
Among many ancient Chinese legends, the two "concepts" of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and "Yanhuang Descendants" are undoubtedly the most popular keywords. However, if you really want to take the exam for all aspects of the "knowledge points" of these two concepts, it is estimated that many people will get the pass score. Not, So, who are the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors? Why do we Chinese claim to be descendants of Yan and Huang?
versions
There have always been debates about who they are, and there has never been a unified definition. There is no exact data support for them, and there is even no relevant archaeological data.
At present, there are many versions about who they are, Fuxi, Nuwa , Shennong , Huangdi , Suiren, Gonggong , Tianhuang, Earth Emperor , and Human Emperor are all "popular candidates" of the Three Emperors.
And among the Five Emperors, the version is also quite complex, Huangdi, Zhuanxu , Emperor Ku , Yao, Shun, Taihao , Yandi , Shaohao html l6 These are all "popular members" of the Five Emperors.
Therefore, who are they? In fact, this is a question that is difficult to give a correct answer. After all, their era was too far away from us, and it is even a mystery of whether or not that era exists.
But based on the total information, more people think that the candidates of the Three Emperors should be Suiren, Fuxi, and Shennong. The Three Emperors should belong to the race of humans, and from the allusion of Nuwa creating humans, it is obvious that the female emperors are the female. Wa does not belong to the category of human race.
Where is Huangdi? From this name and the fact that he also appears in the sequence of the Five Emperors, we can also understand that he is probably one of the Five Emperors.
The reason why Suiren, Fuxi and Shennong are the three emperors is that it is the three of them that brought the original civilization to the land of China.
Primary Civilization
The legend of Suiren making fire allowed ancient humans to know how to use primary energy to warm up Warmth to solve the problem of eating, the "invention" of fire has brought great changes to the entire society.
For example, it makes the diet healthier and richer, making the night no longer full of darkness, and the emergence of fire even further improves people's vitality.
The legend of Fuxi fishing and hunting is that it allows us to understand another way of life, enriching people's means of production, and storing and raising people also greatly improves people's vitality. In a sense, this is a small step in civilization.
The legend of Shennong Baicao gave humans a preliminary knowledge of medicine and cultivation agriculture. Its appearance greatly improved humans' risk resistance, which is even more a progress of civilization.
why the descendants of
called them the Three Emperors because they gave humans a new way of life and a more progressive civilization.
Five Emperors Although there are many "competitors", so far, many scholars believe that it is too The five people of Hao, Yan Emperor, Huang Emperor, Shaohao, and Zhuanxu.
Because this combination is more in line with our tradition of calling ourselves the descendants of Yan and Huang. Yao and Shun were the ancestors of the founding leaders of the Xia Dynasty and were also tribal leaders before the emergence of the Xia Dynasty. Therefore, they should be regarded as wise men with the name of wise men in ancient times and cannot be classified as among the Five Emperors.
Like the Three Emperors, these five people can be called the Five Emperors, because they have made immortal contributions to promoting Chinese civilization.The reason why we are called descendants of Yan and Huang is the "influence" of Huangdi and Yandi.
Yanhuang Two Emperors
Huangdi and Yandi were originally two races living in the Yellow River basin. It is said that the two ethnic groups have similar bloodlines, even the same ancestor.
After a war, Huangdi defeated the Yan Emperor clan, and the two clans were unified, forming our brand new Chinese nation, and they are therefore called the "ancestors" of the Han nationality .
Legend, in that ancient era when there was almost no civilization, Huangdi and Yandi brought more advanced civilization and more practical technology to the Chinese nation, and they made great contributions to the progress of the Chinese nation.
For example, " Huangdi Neijing " is the legend of the ancient book "Old Ancestor" written by . This book is also considered one of the earliest medical classics. It has played an irreplaceable role in the development of medicine in my country. To this day, it is still a must-read book for many traditional Chinese medicine in my country.
Later, the Xia Dynasty, Shang Dynasty, and Zhou Dynasty , which later established slave dynasties, all the leaders of tribes such as the Xia Dynasty, Shang Dynasty, and Zhou Dynasty , all considered themselves descendants of Huangdi. In order to achieve "noble righteousness" in their blood and increase their "Historical Authority of the Lord" effect in front of the people, they also resigned their bloodline and the two ancestors of Huangdi Yandi.
It is worth mentioning that after Qin Shihuang unified the six kingdoms, he had never known how to position his "posting", and it was obviously inappropriate to continue using the king.
After all, he was the first king in China to unify the world, and in the end he used the emperor as his noble title, which also combined the legend of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. From then on, the emperor became the most noble person in ancient China and the most closest to the world.
Descendants of Yan and Huang
The title of "Descendants of Yan and Huang" is obviously very beneficial to the inclusiveness of our Chinese nation, which is one of the reasons why our Chinese civilization could conquer countless ethnic minorities in ancient times.
Because in the eyes of many ethnic minorities in ancient times, the two ancestors of our Chinese nation were two " prophet-like figures" from ancient times and gods.
The title of descendants of Yan and Huang made Chinese civilization born with a kind of "advancedness" and "nobleness" . Therefore, when the ancient Central Plains dynasty conquered ethnic minorities, they subconsciously believed that becoming "descendants of Yan and Huang" was an improvement of a more noble identity.
In a sense, the title of "high-end" in the descendants of Yan and Huang has given the Chinese nation a kind of national self-confidence from the heart. This is also one of the reasons why most Chinese people think that we are the oldest and smartest nation in the world!
There are many legends about the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. As part of our national culture, their existence is positive and is conducive to the inheritance of our national culture.
. It is precisely because we have so many, rich and wonderful cultures that more and more people are becoming fascinated by our Chinese culture, and thus China has become increasingly influential in the world.
