Huangdi won the battle of Zhuolu, and the "Descendants of Yan and Huang" were all over the Central Plains. Where did the descendants of Chi You who were defeated?

all say that the winner is the king and the loser is the Kou, and the descendants of this "Kou" are often scattered, it is difficult to regroup. China’s thousands of years, the most popular battle of the strong is the battle of Zhuolu, which is The story of Yanhuang defeating Chiyou in the ancient period , about this period of history, the earliest record can be traced back to "Shan Hai through".

As everyone knows, Yan Huang won out while Chi You lost, so they are considered to be the ancestors of the Chinese nation. The later generations of ancient emperors such as Yao, Shun and Yu are also considered to be direct descendants of the Yellow Emperor. From then on "炎黄子孙" thrives on this continent, and creates a splendid civilization.

What about Chi You, the defeated? Where did his tribe go, where are his descendants?

1. Yandi Emperor Zhongyuan

Before answering this question, you need to understand the background at that time. Yandi Shennong was born around 2500 BC On the shore of Jiangshui River, tools for farming were gradually invented, hemp was used for clothing, and pottery was made. made the tribe gradually grow. The Yandi tribe was originally nomadic in the West, and since then gradually entered the Central Plains.

At that time, there was another influential tribe in the Central Plains, that is, the tribe of the Yellow Emperor of Xiong's family. The Yellow Emperor was also talented. he planted hundreds of valleys and trees, invented clothing, crowns, and medical writing. The two tribes launched the Battle of Banquan. In this battle, Emperor Huang defeated Emperor Yan and became the real leader. The two tribes gradually merged.

The fusion of Yandi and Huangdi is of great significance to the history of the entire Chinese nation. Before that, the maintenance of tribes depends on kinship. Yanhuang's alliance represents the emergence of a new type of alliance that transcends the alliance of relatives and tribes , which has An epoch-making historical change.

2. The hero Chi Youxian

Another protagonist Chi You also has an important position at this time. He is the leader of the Jiuli clan tribe, fierce and heroic , brave Incomparably, in the myth has always been the image of the god of war.

传说中 Chiyou has eight feet and three heads and six arms , which can be said to be invulnerable to the copper and iron walls. There are also eighty-one brothers, all of whom are like him, brave and good at fighting. This is the record of them in the "Shan Hai Jing", or there is an exaggeration. From this, it is inevitable that history is often determined by victors. Written, the winner will often 妖魔化敌 after having absolute right to speak. Chi You’s image of 兽身人面 can be said to be typical.

Although the Chiyou Group looks terrifying, 's combat ability is second to none , so their tribe expanded very rapidly, gradually expanding their territory to the Yellow River area where Emperor Yan Emperor is located. It is inevitable that there will be friction with the Yan-Huang Alliance at that time, so the war between the two sides is inevitable.

III. The Battle of Zhuolu Sets the Universe

Although the battle of Zhuolu ended with the victory of Huangdi, the process was not easy. According to some scattered records, Huangdi defeated Yandi only in the "three wars", and later only experienced the "52 wars" to pacify the world; but fighting with Chi You, was still unable to even fight the "seventh war" Victory .

Chi You called in the plague and Fengbo Yushi, making Zhuolu unable to see things, Huangdi’s army could not see the direction, and could not distinguish between enemies and friends, breathing was once difficult. Fortunately, Huangdi invented the guide car. And begged Nine Sky Profound Girl, with the help of Nv Yan and Yinglong , finally turned the battle around and turned defeat into victory.

Chi You lost his life in this battle, and the Yellow Emperor became the only tribal leader unified. But Chiyou’s Jiuli tribe did not and cannot disappear. Some of them stayed in the Central Plains and integrated into the Chinese nation, and some went to the wild land at that time.

4. Where will the descendants of Chi You go from

The Jiuli have a large population and they must be inexhaustible. Blindly killings will not be able to maintain the post-war rule. If you want to achieve stability, you must Fusion. Therefore, the Yellow Emperor can only declare to them that the previous leader of was a monster, and the new ruler is the correct choice . Since then, a large part of it has been incorporated into the mainstream civilization of the Yellow Emperor.

Not only that, but the descendants of the Yellow Emperor also intermarried with the descendants of Chi You. The two sides also merged in blood. further merged the descendants of Chi You, making the difference between the two parties smaller and smaller. In Jiuli, the Central Plains area The tribe disappeared naturally. At the same time, Huangdi also made a large-scale reorganization of the Jiuli people, dividing them into two categories, good and evil, and adopts different methods to deal with them.

The "Shan Lei" migrated to Zoulu's land , which is the southern part of Shandong Province today. This is the place where great sages like Confucius and Mencius were born, which is To say that Chi You's descendants actually have a considerable part, and they live in the Central Plains, and Juye has built a tomb of Chi You as a proof. "

Evil Class" were exiled to the north, and they are said to be related to the later Huns. Many of them remembered that they were "Li Min" after Jiuli. We later called it "Li Min People", which is also related to this.

Of course, among Chi You’s descendants, there are also groups who are tenacious and unwilling to accept the reorganization of the Yellow Emperor. They support each other and have been migrating to the south, always retaining the unyielding spirit of their ancestors and unwilling to accept those in power. The rule of , the "Sanmiao" tribe in history, claimed to be Chi You’s "After Jiuli" , and fought Yao's army in Danjiang.

San Miao is likely to be the ancestor of the Miao nationality. In Miao’s epic poem "Bang Chi You", Chi You is regarded as his ancestor and sacrificed to him. This worship can reflect the Miao’s worship Recognition of blood.

Conclusion:

Although we all call ourselves the descendants of Yanhuang, Chi, especially in this land of China, has never disappeared, even though he was the loser of that war. , His blood is also linked to this land forever, is like the legend that his blood turns into a lake and shackles into a maple forest. He has always coexisted with the people on this land in some form. His descendants have never been submerged in the vast river of history.

There is an epic poem of the Miao nationality called "Maple Song", which depicts their ancestor Jiang Yang growing from maple trees, so they are in awe of maple trees and are not allowed to cut down for generations. A memorial to Chi You, because 枫树 is the testimony of Chi You’s hero ending, In the last stage of Chi You’s life, he was accompanied by the shackles on his body, and the shackles turned into Qianli Fenglin, watching his descendants. thrive.

With these thousands of years of national integration and migration, perhaps the descendants of in modern Chiyou are around you and me, and I am proud of being the descendants of Yanhuang , after all, thousands of years have passed. Many things are already indistinguishable.
