Documented Chinese history begins with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the Xia Dynasty, the Shang Dynasty, and the Zhou Dynasty. Since the Chinese courts of all dynasties attached great importance to the history recorded by the Zhou Dynasty, the historical documents recorded by the historians of the Zhou Dynasty were relatively systematic and complete. Therefore, the relevant historical documents of the Zhou Dynasty are an important historical basis for studying Chinese prehistoric civilization, that is, the Chinese civilization. Whether the prehistoric history recorded by the Zhou Dynasty at that time is authentic and reliable is still a question we cannot avoid. Therefore, we can only rely on what we have learned so far. The development history of human civilization, combined with the historical documents recorded in the Zhou Dynasty and Han Dynasty from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to the Xia Dynasty, Shang Dynasty and Zhou Dynasty, to analyze the Chinese prehistoric civilization, that is, the Chinese civilization, peel off the cocoons, remove the false and retain the true, and make it as true as possible Restore a true panorama of Chinese civilization.
According to the results of Chinese historical research, the Xia Dynasty was established between 2100 BC and 1600 BC. This indicates that the Xia Dynasty was established around 4100 BC. This period happened to be the end of the Little Ice Age that seriously affected the process of human civilization. The key time point is also the time period when the Sanxingdui civilization of the ancient Shu Kingdom was destroyed, and it is also the time point when the Chinese people established a clan and a country, claiming to rule the world.
After the Xia Dynasty withdrew from the stage of history, the Shang Dynasty was established from 1600 BC to 1027 BC.
After the fall of the Shang Dynasty, the Zhou Dynasty was established from 1027 BC to 256 BC.
According to Chinese cultural tradition, the Yellow Emperor is the founder and ancestor of the Huaxia people. According to the record of "The First Chronicle of the Five Emperors" in "Historical Records", "The Yellow Emperor, the son of Shaodian, had a surname of Gongsun and a name of Xuanyuan. He was born as a god, weak and able to speak. "When you are young, you are loyal, when you are old, you are smart, and when you are mature, you are smart."
"At the time of Xuanyuan, the Shennong clan was in decline, and the princes invaded and attacked each other, tyrannizing the people, but the Shennong clan was unable to conquer them. So Xuanyuan used to fight with each other, in order to conquer what was not enjoyed, and the princes were willing to obey. Chiyou was the most violent, and could not conquer them. "
"Emperor Yan wanted to invade the princes, and the princes returned to Xuanyuan. Xuanyuan cultivated virtues and raised the army, governed the five qi, practiced the five gods, pacified all the people, and conquered the four directions. He taught the bears, pigs, Pixiu, Xiu, , and tigers to fight against Yan Emperor. In the wilderness of Banquan, fight three times, and then you will achieve your goal."
"Chiyou rebelled without the emperor's order. So the Yellow Emperor sent troops to the princes, fought with Chiyou in the wilderness of Zhuolu, and killed Chiyou one by one. The princes respected Xuanyuan as the emperor, and replaced Shennong's family, which is the Yellow Emperor. There are those who are disobedient in the world. , the Yellow Emperor conquered them. Those who are peaceful will go away. It is better to live in the mountain passage."
"Go to the sea in the east, climb Wanshan, and Daizong. Go to Kongtong in the west, climb Jitou. Go to the river in the south, climb Xiong and Xiang. In the north, drive the meat porridge and Xunyu, which is in line with Busan, and the city is in Zhuolu. Migration In places where there is no permanent traffic, the division is used as the camp and guard. The official names are all named after Yun Ming, and they are called Yun division. Set up the left and right eunuchs, in view of the kingdom. All countries are in harmony, and the ghosts, gods, mountains and rivers are enshrined as gods and there are many. Obtain the treasure tripod, and welcome the sun to make plans. . After lifting the wind, Li Mu, Chang Xian, and Dahong govern the people. Follow the order of the heaven and the earth, the occupation of the bright light, the theory of life and death, and the difficulties of survival. At that time, hundreds of grains and grasses are sown, birds, beasts, insects, and moths are transformed, and the sun is scattered. The moon, stars, water, ripples, earth, stone, gold and jade, work hard with mind, ears and eyes, use water, fire and materials. He has the auspicious virtue of earth, so he is called the Yellow Emperor."
"The Yellow Emperor's twenty-five sons were named after fourteen people."
"The Yellow Emperor lived on the hill of Xuanyuan and married the daughter of Xiling, who was called Leizu. Leizu was the Yellow Emperor's concubine and gave birth to two sons, both of whom became famous in the world: one was named Xuanxiao, who was Qingyang, and Qingyang descended to live there. River water; the second one is called Chang Yi, who descends and lives like water. Chang Yi married a daughter of the Shushan clan, named Chang Pu, and gave birth to Gaoyang. Gaoyang has the holy virtues."
"The Yellow Emperor died and was buried in Qiaoshan. His grandson Changyi's son Gao Yangli became Emperor Zhuanxu."
This classical Chinese text recorded by Sima Qian left a wealth of historical information to future generations. A basic message is that Huang Di led the Huaxia tribe and the Allied Forces to quell the national turmoil, repelled the challenge of Emperor Yan, and eliminated the powerful enemy Chi You. From then on, he ascended the throne. He became the king of God and made the Chinese people the new aristocracy of the country and entered the historical stage of human civilization.
So, what caused this world-changing war? We believe that the severe Little Ice Age between 4300 and 4100 years ago forced the northern farmers and herdsmen to cross the Qinling Mountains and seek refuge in the Sichuan Basin. This led to the outbreak of the war between the Huaxia tribe and their allied forces led by Emperor Xuanyuan and the Shennong clan. , Yan Emperor, Chi You and other local forces, wars broke out in Sichuan and other areas. In the end, the Yellow Emperor won, and a tragic historical event occurred in which the ancient Shu ancestral temple (the Sanxingdui Cultural Site) was destroyed.
Sima Qian lived from 145 BC to 87 BC. He was a historian, writer and thinker in the Western Han Dynasty. Sima Qian lived in his hometown in his early years and went to Beijing with his father at the age of ten. He studied Gongyang Studies in "Shangshu" and "Spring and Autumn" from Kong Anguo, a master of ancient Chinese literature, and Dong Zhongshu, a master of modern Chinese literature. He also had extensive study of Confucianism, Taoism and other schools of thought. Because he was educated in a well-known family, he was appointed as a doctor in the Western Han Dynasty when he was young, and was ordered to go on missions to southwest China and other places. In the third year of Yuanfeng (108 BC), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty succeeded his father to the post of Taishi Ling and began to write "Historical Records". Later, he defended Li Ling, angered Emperor Wu, and was sentenced to corruption. After being released from prison, he worked hard to write books, and became famous in Zhenghe. He completed this masterpiece around the first year of his reign (92 BC) and died shortly after it was completed. Since "Historical Records" is the first literary and historical classic in ancient China to record Chinese history systematically and objectively, Sima Qian is called "Shi Qian", "Tai Shi Gong" and "the father of history" by the world.
As a conscientious and moral senior intellectual and historian of the Western Han Dynasty, Sima Qian must have read comprehensively and deeply understood the classics and documents preserved and collected by the Western Han Dynasty court on the origin and history of ethnic groups and countries in China. However, when Sima Qian wrote "Historical Records", more than 2,000 years had passed since the early days of Chinese civilization, that is, the Yellow Emperor's era. In addition, during the long years of the Yellow Emperor's era, due to frequent wars, the tribal commanding agencies moved erratically. Therefore, what can be preserved about the Yellow Emperor and the Chinese people The historical classics and documents of the People's Republic of China are definitely very limited. At the same time, because the rulers and cultural elites of the past dynasties tried to cover up and improve the history of their own people, the historical truth was covered up and tampered with. There are definitely not many classics that can be handed down that reflect the true history. The ancient books that have been handed down are often fragmented in content, confusing in logic, full of contradictions, and difficult to understand.
Therefore, Sima Qian was very embarrassed when writing this period of prehistory. Sima Qian said at the end of "Historical Records" and "The First Annals of the Five Emperors": "From the Yellow Emperor to Shun and Yu, they all had the same surname but different country names, with Zhang Mingde. Therefore, the Yellow Emperor is Youxiong, Emperor Zhuanxu was Gaoyang, Emperor Ku was Gaoxin, Emperor Yao was Tao Tang, Emperor Shun was Youyu. Emperor Yu was the queen of Xia, and his surname was Si. Qi was Shang, and his surname was Zi. Abandoned was Zhou. , surnamed Ji."
"Tai Shigong said: Scholars mostly refer to the Five Emperors, and that's okay. However, the Book of Documents only records the Five Emperors since Yao, and hundreds of schools of thought speak of the Yellow Emperor. His writing is not elegant and smooth, and it is difficult to recommend a gentleman... He is not eager to learn. After thinking deeply, I know the meaning in my heart, and it is difficult to be ignorant of the truth. I also discussed the following, and selected the one whose words are particularly elegant, so I wrote it as the first book of this chronicle."
The basic meaning of this classical Chinese passage is: Because the ancestors of the Huaxia tribe all had the surname Xiong, Huangdi, Zhuanxu, Ku, Yao, and Shun were the five emperors; although the three emperors Yu, Qi, and Qi all established kingdoms to rule the world , but because he has a different surname from the Yellow Emperor, he cannot be included in the Five Emperors. This is how most scholars define the Five Emperors. However, in the ancient book "Shangshu", when the ancestors of China are recorded, they only start from Emperor Yao and go on. Why is this? Because scholars from hundreds of universities in the past believed that the preserved classics and articles describing the deeds and words and deeds of the Yellow Emperor were not "elegant", and the "gentlemen recommending gentlemen" did not dare to say so! (Tai Shigong) is not the kind of scholar who likes to learn, think deeply, and understand the intentions of the ancients. Therefore, Tai Shigong dares to speak nonsense about the ancients based on his own ignorance! However, I combined the discussions together and selected those historical materials that were fairly "elegant" in discussing the late emperors, and compiled them into "The First Chronicles of the Five Emperors".
Why was Sima Qian so cautious and cautious when writing "Historical Records"? Because the Han Dynasty is a country of the Huaxia people, and the Yellow Emperor is the number one ancestor of the Huaxia people, if the Yellow Emperor and the Huaxia people have flaws, flaws, and stains, it will mean that the nobility, orthodoxy, and glorious history of the rulers of the Han Dynasty and their clans are all nonsense. At the same time, The Han Dynasty's ruling class's civil, military, and moral education will also become pale and ineffective. Therefore, the Han Dynasty must unwritten regulations that all incidents and remarks about the Yellow Emperor and the Chinese people's "disobedience" cannot be written into the "Historical Records" , otherwise Sima Qian would be punished more severely than castration. However, Sima Qian also knew in his heart that if those "indecent" contents were removed, future generations would not be able to understand the history of the Yellow Emperor's era and its descendants. This made Sima Qian very painful and embarrassing. Therefore, Sima Qian was trying to protect the reputation of the emperor and the royal family. On the basis of status, dominance and interests, he wrote "Historical Records. The Chronicles of the Five Emperors", a mythical and incomprehensible Chinese history.
We believe that "The Chronicles of the Five Emperors" basically retains the outline of historical events and the basic process and results, but will cover up and modify the "unbecoming and obedient" content and remarks of the Yellow Emperor and the Huaxia people in order to meet the cultural value needs of the rulers of the Han Dynasty. .
In terms of geography, the Liu family are descendants of the Huaxia people in the Central Plains. The Han Dynasty established its capital in Chang'an and mainly ruled the Central Plains, Qinchuan, Sichuan and areas south of the Yangtze River. In the early days of the Han Dynasty, the Central Plains, Qinchuan and other Yellow River basin areas were The traditional territory of the Huaxia people, the Jianghuai area, the area south of the Yangtze River, and the Sichuan area have always been the residences of Baiyue and other ethnic groups. In order for the Han Dynasty to successfully conquer and rule southern China, the historians of the Han Dynasty must place the origin of Chinese civilization in the north and create a geographical and cultural concept of "the north respects the south". When writing "Historical Records", Sima Qian definitely wanted to In order to meet the principle cultural needs of the Han court, Sima Qian used his literary ingenuity to change many locations involving major historical events of the Huaxia people to northern place names. Locations that were really difficult to change could only be treated with ambiguity.
In terms of society, the Western Han Dynasty was the first dynasty in Chinese history to establish Confucianism as the country's orthodox thought and moral code. Confucianism is a set of social governance systems and moral codes based on the patriarchal clan system. Before the Western Han Dynasty, there were historical periods such as the Qin Dynasty, the Warring States Period, the Zhou Dynasty, the Shang Dynasty, and the Xia Dynasty. During these historical periods, the matrilineal clan system and the patrilineal clan system coexisted and mixed in both the dynasty and the people. Therefore, in the ownership of property, , clan ethics, order of rank, moral education and other aspects of social management are very confusing. For example, raising male pets is a normal phenomenon in matrilineal clan society and is reasonable and legal. However, in a patriarchal society, it is a serious crime to be beheaded to have a male pet. In a patrilineal clan society, it is normal to have a female pet, but in a matrilineal clan society, those who have a female pet will be stoned to death! Therefore, in the Western Han Dynasty, the court resolutely opposed and attacked the remaining systems, customs and ideas of the matrilineal clan society. The Western Han Dynasty court called these remnants of the matrilineal clan society "barbarians and cunning Xia". Yi and Xia were both ancient names for women. Therefore, Sima Qian tried his best not to describe the content of matrilineal clan society in "Historical Records", and used the worldview and values of patrilineal clan society as much as possible to create articles.
In terms of morality, the moral spirit and norms recognized by ancient society and recognized by the imperial court are laws. Morality is the standard for judging the right and wrong of things, judicial trials, convictions and sentencing, so morality is very important. The Western Han Dynasty was the first country in China to implement a patrilineal clan society. Therefore, establishing the moral system and norms of the patrilineal clan society and eliminating the moral systems and norms of the matrilineal clan society were the main tasks of the cultural construction of the imperial court. At the same time, because the Western Han Dynasty regarded Confucianism as the orthodox thought of the whole society, some thoughts and speeches that contradicted, contradicted, and conflicted with Confucianism had to be eliminated. The important contents of Confucianism are values and moral norms such as ethics, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, kindness, equality, etc. However, the dynasties and societies before the Western Han Dynasty did not have these values and moral norms, such as slavery, oppression, mutilation, theft, robbery, adultery, cunning, and killing. Sinful things such as genocide and genocide were regarded as normal things in dynasties and societies before the Western Han Dynasty. Even these ugly behaviors were generally recognized by society as a symbol of ability, wisdom, courage and power.
Therefore, the reason why Sima Qian did not dare to fully express the deeds and thoughts of the Yellow Emperor was because the rulers of the Han Dynasty believed that the historical fact of the rise of the Yellow Emperor and the Huaxia people to power would damage the reputation of the Huaxia people and harm the ethnic integration and unity of the Western Han Dynasty society; It is not conducive to the construction of social values, moral systems and norms in the Western Han Dynasty. However, the historical clues left by Sima Qian in "Historical Records" are enough for us to restore the historical facts experienced by the Yellow Emperor and the Huaxia people at that time. The following is the Chinese history that we have restored with an objective, scientific, neutral and impartial attitude.
4,300 years ago, when the Little Ice Age made the northern part of the East Asian continent become increasingly cold and arid, as a large number of northern residents fled southward, the Shimao King City (now Shimao Village, Gaojiabao Town, Shenmu City, northern Shaanxi Province) ( After scientific research, we believe that the Shimao Royal City (the earliest tribal headquarters base of the Huaxia tribe) began to become desolate. The young Gongsun Xuanyuan of the Huaxia tribe followed his father Shaodian and his mother. They will follow the last batch of the Huaxia court to move south. Officials, guards and troops bid farewell to the Chinese royal city of Shimao and embarked on the difficult road of the southern expedition to Sichuan.
After that, the young Xuanyuan followed his father Wang Shaodian and the Chinese warriors to seek refuge in Sichuan, fight hard, and create great achievements.
According to the records of "Century", Xuanyuan was gifted with intelligence, sharp mind and eloquent since childhood. When he grows up, Xuanyuan should inherit the throne and become the leader of the Huaxia clan. When he was in power, it coincided with the decline of the Shennong Group, the rulers and strata of the ancient Shu Kingdom. Heroes from all over the ancient country came together, wars were frequent, and the people were in a turbulent era (this was due to Conflicts and wars caused by refugees entering the Sichuan Basin from the north and plateau areas and competing with local people and governments for living supplies and natural resources).
In order to survive and develop his own clan, Xuanyuan trained and organized his own army to conquer those tribes that did not pay tribute to the imperial court. The conquest actions of Xuanyuan and the Huaxia clan received the response, support and surrender of the princes and nobles of the ancient Shu Kingdom. During this conquest, Xuanyuan encountered a powerful opponent, Chi You, who was cruel and ferocious in nature. In the ancient Vietnamese language, Chichi refers to oxen and oxcarts, especially a man with free status. The literal translation means "a handsome man riding an oxcart." In a matrilineal clan society, only noble leaders and nobles can travel in oxcarts. Envoy, so this explanation is consistent with the modern description of Chi You. Chi You is a god of war with the head of a bull and the body of a bull. Of course, Chi You can be read as Yao, Yao, and you/jew (this is the Chinese and English abbreviation of Jews). .
In the process of putting down the rebellion, another strong opponent of Xuanyuan was Emperor Yan. At that time, Emperor Yan was preparing to invade Shu from Yichang, Hubei (known as Yiling in ancient times) and attack the princes and nobles of Shu, so the princes and nobles all submitted to Xuanyuan, who had military strength. So Xuanyuan organized a powerful army and fought a decisive battle with Emperor Yan in the "Wild of Banquan". After three battles, Xuanyuan and Emperor Yan were tied, and finally shook hands and made peace, thus maintaining Xuanyuan's dominance in Shu and at the same time, the Chinese people recognized Emperor Yan. Dominate the Hubei region.
Later, Chi You rebelled and disobeyed the "emperor's" orders and controls, so Xuanyuan was ordered by the emperor to recruit a coalition of princes to attack Chi You. The allied forces of Xuanyuan princes and Chi You's group army fought a decisive battle in the "Wild of Zhuolu". Chi You's group army was wiped out, Chi You was captured, skinned in public, and brutally killed.
After that, the princes began to call Xuanyuan the "Son of Heaven" and supported Xuanyuan to replace Shennong and become the emperor, that is, the Yellow Emperor. After Xuanyuan became emperor, there were disobedient rebels in the world, and Huangdi led troops to conquer them. After pacifying this place, we went to pacify there. Therefore, Huangdi could only "walk through the mountains and live in peace".
Finally, the Yellow Emperor ruled the territory to the sea in the east; to the "Kong Tong" in the west; to the river in the south; and to the "Hun Porridge" in the north. After the land was stabilized, the Yellow Emperor and the Huaxia people lived a wandering life with no fixed residence. The Yellow Emperor established a camp and a court to manage the country.
The Yellow Emperor fixed his palace in "Xuanyuan Hill", and he married "Leizu", the daughter of Xiling, as his concubine. Leizu gave birth to two sons, one was Xuanxiao, who was Qingyang. When he grew up, he lived by the river; The other one is Changyi. When he grows up, he lives on the shore of Ruoshui. Chang Yi married Chang Pu, the daughter of the Shushan clan, as his concubine. Chang Pu gave birth to Gaoyang.
After Huangdi died, he was buried in Qiaoshan. Gao Yang, Huangdi's grandson and Changyi's son, was established as emperor and became Emperor Zhuanxu, one of the "Five Emperors".
This is the outline of the main story of Xuanyuan Huangdi's life. After reading the life story of Huangdi, it is inevitable that there will be many confusions and questions. To check the authenticity of a story, we must start from the five elements of the story, namely the origin, time, place, characters and events of the story.
This story tells the story of the rise of the Yellow Emperor and the Huaxia tribe. The most reasonable reason for the rise of the emperor must be "corruption of the imperial court, chaos in the world, and people's poverty." This is expressed in "Historical Records", and our analysis is that after the outbreak of the Little Ice Age, the north and the migration of plateau ethnic groups to the Sichuan Basin. In the face of emergencies, the conservative and conservative ancient Shu court and yamen controlled, diverted and resettled the invading refugees. In these processes, conflicts, chaos, corruption and wars were bound to occur, and then The world is in chaos and the people are in dire straits. This event process is basically consistent with the historical process described in "The Chronicles of the Five Emperors".
"Historical Records" does not set the time when this historical story took place. According to the time when the Little Ice Age occurred, this story should have taken place between 4300 and 4100 years ago.
The story locations set in "Historical Records: The Chronicles of the Five Emperors" are mostly related to the Yellow River Basin and the Jizhou Plain, but the place names are vague and the geographical span is large. Sometimes things are about the Yellow River Basin, and sometimes things jump to the Yangtze River Basin; sometimes the geographical background is the plains and The desert suddenly turned into a place with green mountains, green waters, and steep mountains. It makes readers feel that the Yellow Emperor and his army are immortals with the ability to fly at high speeds, giving readers the feeling of reading a myth. Sima Qian wanted to write the article in this way to satisfy the cultural value needs of the ruling class of the Han Dynasty.
However, through careful analysis, Sima Qian left us the story framework. We can still deduce and confirm that the life story of the Yellow Emperor took place in the Sichuan area. The places where the Yellow Emperor and the Huaxia people often moved, such as Jiangshui, Ruoshui and other river areas. The river is today's Yangtze River. The southern part of Sichuan is the Yangtze River. Going east along the river can reach the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and other wealthy places in China; Ruoshui is today's Yalong River. The section after Ruoshui merges with the Jinsha River was also called Ruoshui in ancient times. This is where the Sichuan Basin enters the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. main traffic. During his campaign, the Yellow Emperor had to march in very steep mountainous areas through "mountain passes". This terrain is consistent with the terrain of Sichuan, but has nothing to do with the topography of the Jizhou plain. The Yellow Emperor married his first concubine in Xiling. Xiling is the Xiling Gorge in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. It is located in today's Yichang area. This is the hometown of the Shennong family. Therefore, Leizu is most likely a direct princess of the Shennong family. In the matrilineal clan era, she married someone with Only direct princesses with divine and royal power can correct the orthodox status of their father's family. Therefore, the Yellow Emperor married Lei Zu as his concubine. This was a typical political marriage.
Another evidence that the Yellow Emperor's story took place in Sichuan is the Yellow Emperor's war opponent, Emperor Yan. If the story of the Yellow Emperor took place in the Jizhou Plain, how could the Yellow Emperor lead the Chinese army and the Allied Army to travel thousands of kilometers to attack the Yan Emperor and his army who lived deep in southern China or even south of the Yangtze River? In those ancient times when people could only travel by bullock cart and march on foot, could such a laborious expedition and protracted war be fought? More than 4,000 years ago, how could two groups of ancients who were thousands of kilometers apart have such a life-and-death hatred? ! Since there is no conflict of interest or deep hatred, why do they want to fight a war that everyone cannot handle well in intelligence, logistics, marching, camping, war planning, command, and combat. For this story to be reasonable, the story of the dispute between Huangdi and Yandi can only take place in Sichuan and its surrounding areas. The Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor had a decisive battle in the Banquan wilderness.

"The homonym means female, Virgin, and the literal translation of Banquan is Holy City."
According to ancient historical documents, Emperor Yan ruled the Dongting Lake and Xiangjiang River Basin areas such as present-day Hubei and Hunan. Emperor Yan was the clan affinity and patron of the Shennong family, and the Shennong family believed that the Yellow Emperor united with the princes and nobles of the ancient Shu Kingdom to drive the Shennong group out of Sichuan , is a treasonous act, therefore, the king of Shennong invited Yan Emperor to come forward and help the Shennong Group attack the princes of Shu and the Yellow Emperor. Finally, the Yellow Emperor led the coalition of Shu princes out of the Xiling Gorge and launched a protracted tug of war with the Yan Emperor's ancient Yue coalition in the hinterland of present-day Hubei.
In the end, due to the rebellion of the Chi You Group, the Yellow Emperor made a truce with the Yan Emperor, signed a peace treaty, and married the Shennong family's direct princess Lei Zu as his concubine. The Shennong family and the Yan Emperor Group became the Yellow Emperor's dominant position in Shu, and the Huang Emperor Group recognized the Shennong family and the Yan Emperor Group. Dominant position in Dongting Lake and Xiangjiang River Basin areas such as Hubei and Hunan. Huangdi and his army then returned to Sichuan to put down Chiyou's rebellion.
At present, Chiyou, Huangdi, Yandi, etc. are listed as the three ancestors of civilization of the Chinese nation, but Chiyou is the most unclear and mysterious of the three ancestors of civilization. Chinese historians of the past dynasties believe that Chi You was the leader of the Jiuli tribe, and the descendants of the Jiuli tribe are ancient ethnic groups such as the Yao and Miao ethnic groups.
There are fragmentary compilations of Chi You's deeds in the history books of the past dynasties. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas·Dahuang Bei Jing" (compiled in the Western Han Dynasty, more than 2,000 years after the incident) said: "Chi You launched an army to attack the Yellow Emperor, and the Yellow Emperor ordered Yinglong Attack the wilderness of Jizhou. In response to the dragon collecting water, Chi You asked Feng Bo and Yu Master to control the storm. The Yellow Emperor sent down the goddess Sunba, and the rain stopped, so he killed Chi You." "Confucius's Records of the Three Dynasties" (compiled into a book during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, About 1700 years after the incident) said: "The Yellow Emperor killed Chiyou in central Hebei. Chiyou's buttocks and head were in different places, and his blood turned into brine, which was the salt pond. Because his body was dissolved, the place was named Solution." From these expressions, it is reflected that Chi You has great supernatural powers, resourcefulness, bravery and strength, and is a very difficult war madman. He will definitely make the young Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor suffer a lot and lose face. Therefore, after Chi You was defeated and captured, Huang Di He killed him very cruelly. According to the records unearthed from the Western Han Dynasty at Mawangdui, Changsha, after Huangdi killed Chiyou, he skinned him and showed him to the public, and chopped his flesh and bones into pieces for Chiyou's relatives and the elders of the Jiuli tribe to eat!
Who is Chi You? Why did Huang Di hate him so much? ! To figure out this problem, we must figure out where Chi You made trouble? Why should he challenge the powerful Yellow Emperor? According to historical records of the past dynasties, the Jiuli people lived in today's Hebei, Henan and Shandong areas. The decisive battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chi You was in the "Zhuolu Wilderness" and "Jizhou Wilderness", which is today's Zhuozhou area in Hebei Province. Why do historians throughout the ages always believe that Huangdi and Chiyou were both from the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River? The reason must be that they wanted to cover up a disgraceful history by changing the location of the story, and make the new story they fabricated conform to reason and social ethics. According to the arguments and analysis listed in this article, Chi You and Huang Di both lived in Sichuan, and their decisive battle also took place in Sichuan.
So, what power did Chi You rely on to challenge Huangdi and his military group? According to the records of "Century" and "The First Chronicles of the Five Emperors", after Xuanyuan led troops to quell the rebellion and civil uprising in Shu, and drove the forces of the Shennong Group out of Sichuan, Xuanyuan has become the overlord and actual ruler of the ancient Shu Kingdom; Xuanyuan After leading the coalition of princes into the Hubei region to fight against Emperor Yan, the princes and nobles of the ancient Shu Kingdom have all surrendered to the Xuanyuan Group, and Xuanyuan has become the monarch of the ancient Shu Kingdom, that is, "Pi". In a matrilineal clan society, the monarch, namely "Pi", and the tribal leader must be appointed by the matriarchal theocratic leader "Emperor" to be legal and orthodox. At the same time, the Pi group must obey the leadership of the Emperor group, provide generous support to the Emperor group, and pay to the Emperor group. taxes, providing labor. Because he was busy with the war, the Yellow Emperor must have neglected to communicate and contact with the ancient Shu imperial group, that is, the theocratic group. Therefore, Xuanyuan's appointment and power in the ancient Shu kingdom must not have been appointed and authorized by the imperial group. As for supporting the emperor group, giving the emperor Not to mention the group's payment of taxes, provision of labor and other matters. The daily expenses of the Xuanyuan Group and the Huaxia clan have already made Xuanyuan exhausted and exhausted. He has no time to take care of the pampered and shady theocratic group! Therefore, the Xuanyuan Group and the Huaxia people must have deeply offended the theocratic group of the ancient Shu Kingdom, that is, the shamanistic priest group headed by the "Emperor" united with the ancient Shu Kingdom.
"Chiyou" and "叶HUyehu" are both similar in pronunciation. In the ancient matriarchal society, "Ye Hu Yehu" or "Yao Yao" is the name of senior military officers and chiefs. In the ancient Vietnamese language, "Yao" means looking into the distance. Therefore, "Ye Hu yehu" or "Yao Yao" is the "supervisor of distant territories" or "governor of feudal territories".
Therefore, the Jiuli people (Jiuli jiuli can be read as you/jew, which shows that the Jiuli people are a guerrilla branch of the ancient Yue patrilineal group in Sichuan) should have been sent to the frontier by the ancient Shu empire group or the Pi group. A military and civilian group reclaimed wasteland, and Chi You was the leader of these people. The borders of the ancient Shu Kingdom generally extended to the north of the Qinling Mountains and the eastern foothills of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. At first, the Jiuli people should have lived in these border areas. After the Little Ice Age broke out, Chi You led the Jiuli tribe to retreat to the Sichuan Basin. Subsequently, a war broke out between the Chi You Group and the Xuanyuan Group. In the early war, the Chi You Group and the Xuanyuan Group were evenly matched, and the two sides should have ended in peace.
After the Xuanyuan Group's rapid operations in Shu, Chi You felt the crisis. At the same time, in the conflict between the Xuanyuan Group and the theocratic group of the ancient Shu Kingdom, Chi You also saw the opportunity to overthrow and eliminate the Xuanyuan Group. The mother's theocratic group consists of a group of female aristocratic elders and shamanistic intellectuals who are always supreme in divine power and secular kingship, as well as the imperial court, harem, guards, entertainment team, service team led by them, and their children - the noble women's camp and men's camp, etc. . The Imperial Court has the capital, vast fiefdoms and specialized industries, and the Imperial Group can be basically self-sufficient economically. However, to maintain the luxurious life of the Imperial Group, the heavy management, business, large-scale projects and defense of the Imperial City require the continued support and supply of the Imperial Group.
Therefore, the clever Chi You and his group quickly became the guardians, sponsors and executors of the theocratic group of the ancient Shu Kingdom, that is, the imperial court. At this time, Chi You gained a position of power that was more like the establishment of a monarch in the ancient Shu Kingdom. At the same time, Chi You gained more resources and wealth from the ancient Shu Kingdom. Therefore, Chi You dared to challenge the Xuanyuan Group, which was in full swing.
Xuanyuan must be well aware of Chi You's ultimate goal, so his struggle with Chi You and the ancient Shu imperial group is a life-and-death struggle.
This brutal decisive battle took place in Sanxingdui on the banks of the Duck River in the Guanghan Plain in the eastern foothills of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in today's Sichuan!
Today, the history of the ancient Shu Kingdom, as well as the brutal war that broke out between Xuanyuan and Chi You in the Sanxingdui area, the imperial capital of the ancient Shu Kingdom, except that Xuanyuan won and Chi You ended miserably, other contents have been cleaned up by emperors and literati of the past dynasties. It's completely clear that the real history can no longer be found. The so-called history we see is just something carefully fabricated by the ancients who wanted us to see it!
If it weren’t for the discovery of the Sanxingdui Cultural Site and the attention paid to the Little Ice Age disaster that occurred between 4300 and 4100 years ago, perhaps we wouldn’t dare to infer that the Sanxingdui Cultural Site was the imperial capital of the theocratic group of the ancient Shu Kingdom, as well as the capital of the Xuanyuan Group and Chi You. The ancient battlefield for group life and death battles!
After the victory in this war, Xuanyuan was elected as the Yellow Emperor by the princes and nobles of the ancient Shu Kingdom, known as the Son of Heaven, combining divine power and royal power. This means that in order to avoid future troubles, Emperor Xuanyuan abolished the mother's imperial system and abolished the mother's aristocratic theocratic class. After careful planning and preparation, the Yellow Emperor's court destroyed ritual vessels and documents symbolizing the divine power, royal power, culture, religion, ghosts and gods of the ancient Shu Kingdom, and began to create ritual vessels and classics about the history, religion, culture and thought of the Chinese people. We have already described these details when analyzing the status of cultural relics at the Sanxingdui site and will not repeat them here.
After Chi You's death, the Jiuli tribe disappeared from Chinese historical books. Perhaps after Chi You's defeat, the Jiuli people changed their clans and changed their names. They crossed the Yangtze River south and migrated to today's Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, Xiangxi, Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and other mountainous areas with rich products. Perhaps these places were originally their hometown. . Soon they became known as "Yao Yao" and worshiped Chi You as the Yao people's ancestor and protector.
After the Yellow Emperor conquered the world, although there was a imperial court in Beijing to govern the world, the Yellow Emperor and his relatives in the harem lived a life of migration, and they lived in the imperial guard's camp.
Leizu, the wife of the Yellow Emperor, had two sons. One was Xuanxiao, or Qingyang, who settled on the bank of the river; the other was Changyi, who settled on the bank of Ruoshui. Changyi married Princess Changpu of the Shushan clan as his concubine, and Changpu gave birth to Gaoyang.
After Huangdi died, he was buried in Qiaoshan. Many people here will ask: Where is Qiaoshan? Why is the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor located at Qiaoshan Mountain in the north of Huangling County, Yan'an City, Shaanxi Province today? This problem is easy to explain. In ancient times, humans all believed in shamanism, and people were buried twice after death. Maybe the Yellow Emperor was buried in a Qiaoshan place in Sichuan just now. Later, the descendants of the Huaxia tribe of the Yellow Emperor moved his bones to The ancestral land of the Huaxia people is buried there, so there is the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor and Qiaoshan there. There were a lot of wastelands in ancient times, and the place names were very casual. You can choose whatever you like. Isn’t there a Beijing Road in Guangzhou now? Can we think that Beijing was a village in Guangzhou in ancient times?
After the death of Huangdi, his grandson Changyi's son Gao Yang became emperor, who was Emperor Zhuanxu.
After conquering the world, why did the Yellow Emperor adopt such a ruling method and make such layout arrangements? The first reason is that the Huaxia people in Shu are outsiders and their population is not as large as the locals. They settle in a certain place and are easily attacked by foreigners. Therefore, their mobile lifestyle of irregular migration and concealment can avoid intrusion by foreigners and at the same time play a role. The role of patrolling the world; the second reason is to solve the problem of homeland defense. The reason why the emperor asked Changyi to lead his people to settle in Ruoshui, the southwest gateway of Sichuan on the Yalong River, is because it is the birthplace of Thai-Vietnamese civilization between Sichuan and Yunnan, Southeast Asia and the South Asian subcontinent. It is the only convenient channel for economic and cultural exchanges between Sichuan and Yunnan, Southeast Asia and the South Asian subcontinent. It is also the only convenient channel for Sichuan to have economic and cultural exchanges. It is the gateway for economic and cultural exchanges between the region and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, because tropical regions such as Southeast Asia are the matrix of human civilization and are also the areas with the most complete and developed ancient civilizations. In the Sanxingtui site, archaeologists discovered a large number of ivory and seashells. , these are treasures with monetary functions that came to Southeast Asia. A large number of exquisite gold and bronze wares were also discovered at the Sanxingtui site. Yunnan and Southeast Asia have produced gold, silver, copper and other precious metals since ancient times. Therefore, this region is indeed an important gateway for China's foreign exchanges.
Huangdi arranged for Qingyang, his other legitimate son, to settle in Jiangshui. We believe that Huangdi's arrangement was to prevent the intrusion of Shu by the powers in the area east of the Three Gorges. Therefore, the tribes and troops under Qingyang's jurisdiction should settle in the area from today's Chongqing to Yichang. , because the terrain here is difficult and easy to defend but difficult to attack. At the same time, the Yangtze River is also a natural barrier against southern ethnic groups such as Guyue, Miao, Yao and Yi living in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and southwest China. Therefore, Qingyang's defense zone is of great significance.
The northern part of Shu is a plateau and mountainous area. These places are barren and difficult. Therefore, the Yellow Emperor handed over these areas to the allied forces of the Chinese princes for garrison. After the Yellow Emperor conquered the world, he handed over the plateau and mountainous areas around Sichuan to the Qiang, Di, Ba, etc. The local ethnic groups who once stood on the united front with the Chinese people garrisoned and settled there.
From then on, Sichuan became the source and base for the Chinese people to rule the world and develop Chinese civilization.
