On the contrary, this practice is more out of the rightHuaxiaTribal security considerations. ChiyouAs the leader of the Jiuli tribe, he has strong military strength and metal smelting technology, rightHuaxiaTribes pose a threat. Yellow Emperorhad to take decisive action to weaken the power of the Jiuli tribe, ensureHuaxiaof unity and security. Despite the fact that "it is all over."KillIt sounds callous, but in the political environment of the time, this was perhaps the most effective means of safeguarding the interests of the entire tribe.
