  Although contemporary society has long been used to the Emperor Yan、Huangdi is called "Yan Huang",But in the early Chinese literature,The world is more accustomed to collecting the two as "Huang Yan"。Changes from "Huang Yan" to "Yanhuang",Not just the replacement of the surface layer,The process of derivation and identity construction contains the image of the emperor image。

Emperor Yan was regarded as the object of Huangdi,The ancestor of Jiang's surname 

About Yan Emperor、The story of Huangdi may have been circulating for a long time,But the two are written together in the classics and are seen in the Spring and Autumn Period。In existing documents,The earliest record of the direct record of Huangdi and Yan Di was directly related to the narrative of Si Kongko of "Mandarin · Jinyu 4"。Choose Dilemma for Marriage for Jinsong Chongto,Sikong Jizi raised the story of Huangdi and Yan Emperor's mutual conquest,In the words logic of Sikong Jizi,Yellow Emperor、Yan Di, although the same father and mother,But growing up different,So as to cause "successful virtue,Therefore Huangdi is Ji,Emperor Yan is ginger,The two emperors use the division to help with each other,Due to the reason for different virtues "。Through the narrative of Sikong Jizi,In the eyes of the Spring and Autumn Period,Yellow Emperor、Emperor Yan is a brother relationship: the two are from Shandian,Can be the same surname,But in the end, it is different and different,Divided into Ji Jiang two surnames,Then it has moved to a state of killing each other。Combined with Sikong Ji Zi Zi Ziyou Huangdi Twenty -five Son with the words logic of the twelve surnames in the world,Between Huangdi and Emperor Yan,Sikong Jizi respected and praised the Yellow Emperor。

This respective psychology is also seen in another dialogue of the monarchs and ministers of the Jin Dynasty,That is, "Zuo Zhuan" 僖。Questions about whether Jin Wengong is diligent,Bu Yan's occupation is "Ji,The sign of the Yellow Emperor in Hanquan。Although Bu Yan did not explicitly say the result of Huang Di's conquest,But the monarchs of the Jin Dynasty got Geely'bet365 live casino games s conclusion,It is enough to reveal that Huangdi is the victor of the battle of Hanquan,and Emperor Yan is the loser。

From these conversations, we can know,In the Spring and Autumn Period,The world generally believes that Emperor Yan and Huangdi live in the same era,and the object of being conquered by the Huangdi。In terms of historical context at that time,Huangdi's conquest to Emperor Yan,It also contains the process of confrontation and hegemony between Jin and Qi State: Huang Di is the ancestor of the surname Ji,Emperor Yan is the ancestor of Jiang surname; Jinqi is the representative of the two surnames of Ji Jiang,Self -deemed to be Huangdi、Descendants of Emperor Yan。Here,The battle between Huangdi and Yandi directly pointed to the contest and dominance of the two countries at the time。"Zuo Zhuan" Ai Gong's nine -year history of Shi Mo's words,This is the typical manifestation of this concept cognition: Facing the hesitant of the Jinjun coach Zhao Jianzi to save Zheng Enemy Song,Shi Mo's occupation cloud "Emperor Yan is the fire division,Jiang's surname is also later。Winning Fire,Ginger can be "。Obviously,This is another very direct metaphor for "Yellow Emperor Zhan Yan Yan" in real politics。

"Huangdi Zhan Yan Emperor" in the spring and autumn,Pass to Qinhan after the Warring States Period,So the story of "Yellow Emperor War You" blends、Wrack,Make Sima Qian recorded Yellow Emperor and Chi You in a way when he wrote the "Five Emperor's Book"、Two battles of Emperor Yan,There are Shennong as a sign of the times before and after。This writing of Tai Shigong was buried in the controversy of later generations,But it shows Shen Nong、Emperor Yan、Chi You is not a cognition for three people。Different from Sima Qian's writing,Jia Yi's "New Book · Yiyang" follows the ancient saying of the Spring and Autumn Period,I believe that Huangdi is the brother of Yan Emperor and "Yan Emperor has no way","The wild deer of the yellow emperor,Blood flowing pestle,Emperor Yanyan and the place,The World is Nai Zhi "。approximately similar to Jia Yi,"Huainanzi · Soldiers Training" Cloud "The Huangdi tasted fighting with the Emperor Yan ... Emperor Yan is a fire,Therefore Huangdi captured ",To prove "husband and soldiers,So forbidden violence and chaos also "。The writing of these Bet365 app download literatures can be regarded as a further interpretation of the Warring States Qin and Han Society of the Warring States Period and Qin and Han dynasties.,It is the persistent persistence and repeat continuation of the discourse since ancient times。At the same time,Different from the Spring and Autumn society is,Although they are all telling the story of "Huangdi Zhan Yan Yan",But it is no longer highlighting the ancestor identity of the two belonging to Ji Jiang's surname。This writing and interpretation of changes,It contains the ancient saying of adhering to the "Yellow Emperor Zhan Yan Yan" although the future society,But the connotation of the discourse is far from the two surnames of Ji Jiang,Not only does it have no necessity with the hegemony of the Jinqi countries,And it is also given new meaning and function。

Emperor Yan Emperor changed to the ancient emperor of the Huangdi 

Different connotations of the new connotation and "Yellow Emperor Zhan Yan Emperor",The derivation of the image of Yandi still has another route,That is, Emperor Yan is no longer the object of being conquered by Huangdi,and became the emperor who was preceded by the Huangdi。"Yizhou Book · Taste Mai Jie" is currently seen at the same time to record Yandi、Yellow Emperor、The earliest text of the complex associated by Chi You three people,Its writing also means that the status of Emperor Yan has been promoted before the Huangdi。

Combined with text、Ideological content and text style,It is generally believed that the era of "Yizhou Book · Taste Mai" is in the occasion of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period。This time is exactly the fusion of the Chinese earth ethnic group、The era of surnames in unity,Ji Jiang's two surnames are no longer distinguished from Yan Emperor、The important standard of Huangdi,Fusion of ethnic groups in real society,It will also be reflected in the transformation of the relationship between Yanhuang。In "Yi Zhou Book · Taste Mai Jie",The author borrows the mouth of King Zhou by simple brushwork,Tell the Emperor Yan Emperor、Chi You、The rule between the three of the Yellow Emperor、rebellion、Flat Story。Where,Emperor Yan first possessed the world in Huangdi,Become the Lord of the World,Rule of Chiyou、Shaohao。Subsequent,Chiyou greedy and violent、Anti -Heng rebellion,Forced Yan Division to cause Bet365 app download the world to chaos。In this case,Emperor Yan said in the Yellow Emperor (let the world be in Huangdi,Liu Shipei "Zhou Shu Tongci"),So Huangdi "holds Chiyou,Kill it in Zhongbei,Relying on Awrace with A Bing,Using Dazheng Shuntian Thinking Preface,Ji Yu Da Chang "。Obviously,The Emperor Yan here is already able to pass on the previous generation of Huangdi。Even if the Emperor Yan "said to the Huangdi" is not understood as Emperor Yan's pass,The two are no longer a relationship of fighting for conquest,but united、Alliance,Then fight the common enemy -Chiyou。

Although the author of "Taste of Mai" is still highlighting the achievements and virtues of Huangdi,But among them,Emperor Yan actively combined with the Yellow Emperor when facing the threat、Alliance,It may even be passed on to Huangdi。From this level,,The "Yanhuang Jie Alliance" story that has been circulating in the future society,The earliest dates back to the writing of "Yizhou Book · Taste Mai Jie": The subjective purpose of the author is to explain the beginning of the "today" order.,But objectively revealed that the relationship between Huang Yan has gradually transformed from time to time to be part -time。

Emperor Yan first in the expression of Huangdi,It is not only seen in "Yi Zhou Book · Taste Mai Jie",It is also seen in "Tube · Feng Zen": When the author listed the ancient emperor's sealing Zen activity,Place "Yandi Feng Taishan" in Shennong、Between Huangdi,presents the cognition of Emperor Yan earlier than Huangdi。In addition,"Five Emperors" and "Five Color Emperors" of the knowledge system of Yin and Yang Five Elements,Configure Emperor Yan in Meng Zhong Ji San Xia、Huangdi is configured at the end of the summer ("Book of Rites · Month")。Maybe the "Yan Emperor" and "Yellow Emperor" here do not have the identity of the ancient emperor,But with the blend of discourse,Season monthly sequence must also contain Emperor Yan、Huangdi in the reign of time。At the same time,"Tube · Feng Zen" reveals that Shennong and Emperor Yan are two different emperors,But the two are connected back and forth,"Book of Rites · Monthly", "Lu's Spring and Autumn, Twelve Ji" clearly states that the emperor must not "may be a god of farming" when the Emperor's Director of the Emperor Yan。Here,These words also contain bet365 live casino games an opportunity for Emperor Yan and Shennong to gradually merge into one。About the time of the unity of Emperor Yan and Shennong,Gu Jiegang believes that it should be marked with the "World Classics" in the late Western Han Dynasty。Combined with Jia Yi、Sima Qian and others narrate the story of Emperor Yan,This judgment is accurate。In other words,Really related to the pre -Qin period,In the middle and late Western Han Dynasty,Yan Di and Shennong gradually combined into one。At the same time,Emperor Yan also relied on Shennong's prestige in the hearts of the world,logically becomes one of the "three emperors",It is called "Yan Emperor Shennong's"。

The reasons and reasons for Emperor Yan andDelay of the virtue of Emperor Yandi 

Emperor Yan was promoted before the Huangdi、Become the world of the world first,Not fictional to the wall、No reason,Instead, there is a basis for the concept of morality and ethnic recognition。

In Spring and Autumn Society,Although the story of Emperor Yan was conquered or even failed by Huangdi,But at the same time, the world is also voicing the Emperor Yande。"Zuo Zhuan" Zhaogong seventeen year records of Xunzi Yun: "Huang Di's with Yun Ji,Therefore, the name of the cloud is the cloud master;,Therefore, it is named for the fire division;,Therefore, the water division is named for the sailor;,Therefore, for the Dragon Master and Dragon Name。"Among them,Emperor Yan is behind Huangdi,The Fire Ji is used、A fire official,It contains the affirmation of the emperor Shengde。Because after telling the ancestor Shao Zhe's name as a bird name,Xunzi said clearly, "Since I was,Can't Ji Yuan,Nai Ji Yujin,ordered by the people for the people,It cannot be because of it ",There are unlimited sadness and regrets in the words。From the perspective of Xunzi,"Can't Ji Yuan" 颛顼 颛顼,Difficult to get with Shaoyu、Huang Dihi's、Yandi、Gong Gong's、Taiji Comparison。Obviously,In the eyes of the sister -in -law,The virtue of Emperor Yan is worthy of praise and inheritance for future generations。

The same connotation,It is also displayed in the words of the prince of the Zhou royal family during the Spring and Autumn Period: "Mandarin · Zhou Yu Xia" records the prince of the Zhou royal family.,After Gong Gongzhi's assisted in Bet365 lotto review the success of Dayu's water cure,Emperor Yao "祚 Four Yue Guo,Life is Hou Bo,Give the last name, Jiang,Family with Lu "。For this,Wei Zhao's "Mandarin Note" pointed out that the prince Jin said, the surname of Jiang surname,Also the descendants of Emperor Yan。Combined with Prince's Dialogue Logic,Wei Zhao's words fit the original meaning of the original text of "Mandarin"。Siyue、The descendants of Emperor Yan are associated to the social reality of the Spring and Autumn Period,Prince Jin believes that those or tribes that are ups and downs can be called "after Huang Yan",That is, "Is the husband who is dead without a favor? After all Huang Yan,"。In other words,From the perspective of Prince Jin,Those Xia Yu、The descendants of Siyue can be collectively referred to as "After the Huang Yan"。No doubt,Emperor Yande's Shengde has pointed to the political order of the real society,Become the legitimacy of the administrative and endless generations of the surnames of Jiang Liluo,。It is also on this level,The Prince Jin as the heir of the emperor said, "Shen、Donation of Lu,Qi、Xu Yusan's real meaning,It is to emphasize the continuity and inheritance of the descendants of the future generations for Emperor Yande。This deep discourse connotation reflects in the concept of people during the spring and autumn,Emperor Yan is an emperor who has the flow of virtue and extends in later generations,Also because of Emperor Yande,Qi as a surname of Jiang、Xu and other countries have obtained the legitimacy and orthodox nature of the regime。

Obviously,Compared with Xunzi,Prince Jin's expression of the virtue of Emperor Yan in the future,clearer、Clear。At the same time,In the words of the two,Emperor Yan does not have the characteristics of being a co -owner in the world first。If you must distinguish Emperor Yan、If the Huangdi sequences are the order,So the expressions of the two are Huangdi ahead、Emperor Yan in the post,Especially in the words of Prince Jin,The title of "After Huang Yan" shows him and Sikong Jizi、The same as Bu Yan,Continue Huangdi、Emperor Yan is also tied at the same time and respects the cognition of Huangdi。but but,Prince Jin、The words of Xunzi can explain,In the concept of people in the spring and autumn,Emperor Yan is an emperor who streams in Shengde。accompanied by ethnic Bet365 lotto review fusion、The real arrival of the surname in the era,Ji Jiang's two surnames are no longer an important criterion for distinguish between Chinese people。Here,Emperor Yan's cognition has enhanced the status of Emperor Yan,Then in the order of time, first in the Huangdi,Become the Lord of the World。

In short,In the early words of China,The image of Yandi has obvious changes in the process,The delay of the virtue of Emperor Yan is the discourse basis for the world to construct the relationship between Yanhuang,and the ethnic fusion is the deep basis of the transformation of the emperor's identity。From this,Not only the story of "Yanhuang Alliance" can be written,The original "Huang Yan" gradually transformed into "Yan Huang after"。
