(1) Xuanyuan Huangdi
1 Life of the Yellow Emperor
Records of the Five Emperors in Historical Records records: "The Yellow Emperor is the son of Shaodian, surnamed Gongsun and named Xuanyuan". Five thousand years ago, on the second day of the second lunar month, he was born in the Longjiang Gorge of Juyuan Pass on the Qushui River in the Loess Plateau in northwest China. Since then, there has been an auspicious saying that the dragon looked up on February 2. The loess plateau is broad, broad and thick, with rich mountains and thick soil, and the soil color is yellow. The positive color in Huang Nai symbolizes auspiciousness and happiness, which was advocated by the ancients. Earth is the respect of the five elements and the foundation of all things, and Xuanyuan takes earth virtue as the king. So Xuanyuan is called the Yellow Emperor. Ancient documents recorded three emperors and five emperors. The Yellow Emperor is one of Huang San and the first of the five emperors. In the later period of Emperor Yan, the Yellow Emperor rose up in troubled times, called on the world with virtue, defeated Emperor Yan in Hanquan, replaced Emperor Yan as the son of heaven, and later defeated Chiyou in the land of Zhuolu, which ended the ancient war, unified the Chinese nation and established the first * * * country in China. Being elected as the first emperor of the Chinese nation, the era of Chinese civilization began. The emperors of Tang Yao, Yu Shun, Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties were all descendants of the Yellow Emperor, so the Yellow Emperor was called the ancestor of the Chinese nation.
2 Xuanyuan Huangdi and China culture
The Yellow Emperor created a rich and splendid Chinese culture for the Chinese nation. The creation and invention of clothing, food, housing, transportation, agriculture, industry, mining, commerce, currency, writing, pictures, bows and arrows, music, medicine, marriage, funeral, calendars, five elements of yin and yang, umbrellas and mirrors in ancient China all began in the era of the Yellow Emperor, and are important symbols of "civilization". When the tradition of attaching importance to civilization developed to the Western Zhou Dynasty, the theory of the division of literary field appeared, and "civilization" was regarded as a virtue. The spirit of emphasizing creation and self-improvement produced during the period of the Yellow Emperor became the spiritual wealth of the Chinese nation after the Yellow Emperor. And formed an excellent cultural tradition. Today, we should carry forward these fine traditions and enhance the cohesion and centripetal force of Chinese people.
3. The Yellow Emperor and the Chinese National Spirit
The Yellow Emperor is a flag of the Chinese nation and the first founder of human beings entering civilized society. In the era of the Yellow Emperor, the problems of food, clothing, housing and transportation were solved, such as making clothes, building ships and cars, making characters, teaching sericulture to grow grain, etc., and gradually guiding people to a civilized and orderly life. The great achievements of the Yellow Emperor era condensed into the spirit of the Yellow Emperor, which was embodied in many aspects. To sum up, there are three main aspects, namely "creation", "dedication" and "unity". This is the crystallization of the precious spirit of the Yellow Emperor era, the great spiritual essence of promoting human progress and development, the spiritual pillar of the Chinese nation and the "heirloom" of hundreds of millions of Chinese people.
It is also on this basis that the Chinese nation has created "The world is public", "Who has never died since ancient times, keeping the heart of Dan in accordance with history", "Giving one's life for righteousness", "Wealth cannot be lewd, poverty cannot be moved, power cannot be bent", "Do one's best, and then die" and "Worry about the world first. These are the spirit of China that will always inspire our Chinese nation to move forward. It is the general principle that regulates our past, present and future words and deeds. It is with this spirit that the Chinese nation can always stand among the nations of the world.
Huangdi, surnamed Ji and named Xuanyuan, is known as Xuanyuan Huangdi and is regarded as the ancestor of the Chinese nation. The early history books of our country, Guoyu and Zuozhuan, all described the Yellow Emperor as a mythical figure. For thousands of years, it has been a mystery whether the Yellow Emperor is a man or a god.
1973, archaeologists unearthed the book Huangdi Neijing in Mawangdui No.3 tomb in Hunan Province, and this mystery was gradually revealed. Huangdi Neijing is the first book about Huangdi unearthed in thousands of years. According to textual research by Wang Hansheng, a 93-year-old famous historian in Taiwan Province Province and president of Xuanyuan Church in Taiwan Province Province, and Yu Mingguang, a mainland scholar, this book was written in the Warring States Period, and was buried in Mawangdui No.3 Tomb as a funerary object in 168 BC, which has been more than 2,000 years. The two old gentlemen annotated Huangdi Neijing and agreed that Huangdi Neijing was not a fake book, but a real book of "governing the country". They infer from this that the Yellow Emperor is not a "legendary figure" as people say, but a real historical figure. Mr. Wang Hansheng also predicted to his daughter that there should be a family named Xuanyuan in China, which should be found at 1994. This prophecy has really come true. The owner of this family named Xuanyuan is Xuanyuan Yao, who lives in Sihong County, Huaiyin City, Jiangsu Province. When the China Huangdi Mausoleum Foundation was established 1993, he suddenly felt that his surname was "noble" and should be found out, so he wrote to the Huangdi Mausoleum Office in Shaanxi Province and asked for his surname. The staff in the office were surprised to get this information, because they had never heard of anyone named Xuanyuan. After in-depth investigation, it is the only one named Xuanyuan in China. Wang Lixia, daughter of Wang Hansheng and director-general of Xuanyuan Education in Taiwan Province Province, made a special trip to visit Xuanyuan Yao in Shaanxi Huangdi Mausoleum on April 1994, and presented her father's Book of Huangdi's Original Name to Xuanyuan Yao.
From this perspective, the inference of Wang Hansheng and Yu Mingguang is reasonable. Xuanyuan Huangdi is indeed a historical figure, the ancestor of the Chinese nation, and the first tribal leader in the history of China to unify the land of China.
