With the application of modern molecular biology to the field of archaeology, it has added a new weapon for us to understand ancient history. According to the analysis of Han DNA haplogroups by relevant researchers, it was found that 43% of Han men were derived from three super ancestors in history, and nearly half of the Han population were descendants of these three people. Moreover, the age of the three people lived between 7800 and 4100 years, which is exactly the same as the legendary age of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. Therefore, many experts believe that the three ancestors are Fuxi, Shennong and Huangdi .
Many people may think that these three people have lived for such a long time, and the relevant records are all myths, which may not be credible. In fact, all the so-called myths are based on facts. In particular, Chinese ancestor worship is completely different from Western religious beliefs. The mythological figures handed down before the Qin Dynasty are basically myths related to ancestors. The characters with the strongest mythology of the early ancestors of the Chinese people are Fuxi and Nüwa . However, the latest archaeological discovery of Fuxi and Nüwa related sites has proved the authenticity of Fuxi and Nüwa. Related Links.

Hongshan Cultural Site The area of eastern Inner Mongolia in the north of Hebei in the west of Liaoning with Chifeng as the center. It originated 6000 years ago and continued until about 5000 years ago. The relics and cultural relics unearthed from the Hongshan Site Group were mainly concentrated in the age of more than 5500 years, and then the relics gradually decreased. By 5000 years ago, all the people of Hongshan left their original settlement. Lingjiatan originated 5500 years ago and lasted 5200 years ago. The time is well connected, and it is consistent with the 95% confidence interval of 7500-5500 years for super ancestor No. 2. Therefore, from the perspective of the entire chain of evidence, the Han nationality’s No. 2 super ancestor is most likely Fuxi.
Lingjiatan site was abandoned 5200 years ago,Some of its ethnic groups migrated to Songze Cultural District in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, partly to Qujialing -Shijiahe Cultural District in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and some migrated northward to the Dawenkou Cultural District in Shandong. These ethnic groups not only spread the influence of the legends of Fuxi and Nüwa to various places, but also spread the jade culture of Lingjiatan to various places. The descendants of Fuxi who went to Shandong gradually merged into Dongyi. Its leader Taihao later became the leader of the Dongyi tribe, and moved its capital to Chen ( " Zuo Zhuan": "Chen, Taihao Hao)’s ruins ) Chendi is today’s Huaiyang. Archaeological excavations have unearthed an ancient city of 1 million square meters in area of 4600-4200 years. Taihao Mausoleum, which was built in the spring and autumn period of , is now flourishing. Moved to Hubei The descendants of Fuxi from Qujialing-Shijiahe Cultural District have contributed a lot to the development of the jade in Qujialing Shijiahe. The jade unearthed from Qujialing-Shijiahe is deeply influenced by Lingjiatan culture in terms of shape and craftsmanship. In addition, the oldest existing cultural relics related to the myth of Fuxi and Nuwa, there are two, one is Changsha during the Warring States Period the tomb of the Chu Kingdom unearthed from the Tomb of the Mawangdui, Changsha The Fuxi and Nuwa mating pictures are all out to the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. Is this really just a coincidence?

The No. 2 super ancestor is Fuxi, so who will the No. 1 super ancestor be? I think a leader of the Shennong clan is the most likely. We call ourselves the descendants of Yan and Huang, and we know how Yan Di and Huang Di fight Chiyou. One would think that Shennong is Yandi, and Yandi is Shennong. In fact, most people have a wrong concept. Shi refers to the ethnic system, and Yandi is the name of the leader of the Shennong family.Yandi, who fought against the Yellow Emperor, was the leader of the last generation of Shennong clan to proclaim the emperor.
The Han nationality's No. 1 super ancestor is the Shennong family, which is difficult to verify, but it is basically certain that he should be related to the rapid expansion of Yangshao culture . Yangshao Culture refers to the cultural relics in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, southern Inner Mongolia, and southern Hebei from 7000 to 5000 years ago. It is characterized by dry farming and painted pottery. The approximate distribution is shown in the figure.
China 6000 years ago
About 6000 years ago, the type of Miaodigou of the Yangshao culture expanded rapidly, which may have something to do with the conquest and communication of the surrounding tribes by the Shennong family. The time of Shennong Yandi’s line in the ancient books is the same, and it is also related to the main area of his activities. Moreover, the Yangshao culture entered the patrilineal clan society in 6000, and began the process of differentiation between the rich and the poor. This is in line with the 95% confidence interval of the Han nationality No. 1 super ancestor between 7800 and 5900.
The No. 3 super ancestor of the Han nationality is undoubtedly the Yellow Emperor. It is estimated that no one will doubt it. After all, the title of descendants of Yan and Huang has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. There are many records about the Yellow Emperor in Shiji , and the tribes of the Five Emperors, Xia, Shang, and Zhou all come from the same line of the Yellow Emperor, and even Liubang is also a descendant of the Yellow Emperor. At first, I thought it was impossible. Perhaps later generations faked their ancestry in order to reflect their noble origin, but Y chromosome will not lie. If it is not for the emperor, the probability of extinction is very high.
Some people like to recognize white fathers, thinking that the early Chinese civilization originated from the West Mesopotamian civilization. It's silly and ridiculous. The scientific perspective refutes the Chinese civilization and speaks of the West, and also discusses the root cause of the differences in the development of Chinese and Western civilizations
