About Yanhuang

Yanhuang or Yan Huang was the name of a legendary East Asian ethnic group who were said to have inhabited the middle Yellow River basin in ancient China. The name comes from their alleged descent from two early Bronze Age agrarian tribal confederacies led by the Flame Emperor (Yandi) and Yellow Emperor (Huangdi), whose allied victory over the eastern Jiuli tribes led by the Chiyou at the mythical Battle of Zhuolu has been considered as the foundation for the Chinese civilization and the cultural identity of the Chinese people.Shaodian's wife Youjiao gave birth to the Yellow Emperor near the Ji River and the Yan Emperor next to the Jiang River which accounted for their different temperaments. Although Shaodian preceded the Yellow and Yan emperors, he was not their father.During the time of Huangdi, Shennong's descendants declined. Hong Sheng and the Yan emperor were descended from Shennong. They both possessed comprehensive knowledge. Five hundred years elapsed from Shennong to the time of the Yellow and Yan emperors. The Yan emperor was the last generation; Shennong, Shaodian, the Flame [Yan] Emperors, and Huangdi all preceded him.
