Record my life The story of Emperor Yan and Emperor Huangdi defeating Chiyou together takes place in ancient China, about 5,000 years ago in the late Neolithic Age. The background of this story includes many aspects such as the social environment, ethnic distribution, history and culture at that time.
First of all, from the perspective of the social environment, it was at the end of the primitive society, and inter-tribal wars were frequent. Tribes fought constant wars over territory, resources, and slaves. As a branch of the Jiuli tribe in the south, the Chiyou tribe is good at making weapons, warlike and powerful. The tribes led by the Yan Emperor and the Yellow Emperor were located in the Yellow River Valley, and they were committed to developing agricultural production and improving the living standards of the people.
Secondly, from the perspective of ethnic distribution, the Yandi tribe was originally active in the Jiangshui area of the upper reaches of the Yellow River, while the Yellow Emperor tribe was active in Henan, Shaanxi and other places in the Yellow River basin. Some of the Chiyou tribes are in the lower reaches of the Yellow River in Shandong, others in the south, and generally in the southeast. The areas of activity of these tribes are intertwined, which leads to contradictions and conflicts between them.
Again, from a historical and cultural point of view, the Yan Emperor and the Yellow Emperor respectively represent the Yan and Huang culture in ancient China. Emperor Yan was known as Shennong, he tasted herbs, invented herbs to cure diseases, and also invented tools for ploughing the land, and vigorously developed agriculture. The Yellow Emperor, known as Xuanyuan, also attached great importance to agricultural production, and also developed clothing manufacturing, building houses, boats, and cars, and formulating music and rhythms. The leadership of these two chiefs was gradually formed over a long period of historical development.
Finally, from Chiyou's point of view, he is a fierce and warlike tribal leader. Among the Jiuli tribe, he had eighty-one brothers, all of whom were brave and good at fighting. They were dissatisfied with the rule of the Yellow Emperor, so they used various means such as coercion and inducement to gather the Miao people and launch a rebellion. Chiyou first defeated Emperor Yan, then Emperor Yan asked the Yellow Emperor for help, and finally the Yellow Emperor and Emperor Yan joined forces to fight against Chiyou together.
To sum up, the background of the story of Emperor Yan and Emperor Huangdi defeating Chiyou together reflects many aspects such as the social environment, ethnic distribution, and history and culture at that time. This background of the story provides a strong basis for understanding ancient Chinese history.
