We are sons and daughters of China, we are descendants of the Chinese people, and we have lived on the land of China for generations. Please tell us why we call ourselves descendants of the Chinese people. Generally speaking, we in China call ourselves descendants of the Chinese people. Some people may disagree, saying that we are ethnic minorities, not descendants of the Chinese people like the Han nationality, right?

In fact, we in China call ourselves descendants of the Chinese people, mainly from the perspective of culture and civilization, so we call ourselves ancestors of mankind.

When did oriental civilization begin? Undeniably, the Yellow River Basin is the core and birthplace of oriental civilization. Just as Indian civilization can also be called Ganges civilization, Ethiopian civilization can be called Nile civilization, Sumerian civilization can be called Two Rivers civilization, and Greek and Roman civilization can be called Mediterranean civilization. Generally speaking, the traditional oriental civilization covers today's East Asia, Northeast Asia, a part of Southeast Asia, a part of Central Asia and the islands on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, such as Japan, Okinawa and Guam. Among them, Central Asia is a zone where many civilizations interact with each other, and Southeast Asia refers to its mainland part.

Compared with other civilizations around, the above-mentioned areas have their distinctive features. Even today, there are still more * * * features in the eastern society than in other areas. This * * * was formed in the history of the past 5000 years, which is the accumulation of history.

The civilization of the Yellow River is mainly based on the civilization of the Yanhuang period. It is the culture, art, aesthetics, customs, ideology, political system, military characteristics, eating habits, values, world outlook, religion, writing and so on produced by the collision and interaction of various civilized factors in the later historical development. These things are obviously different from other civilized societies. There is no doubt that these elements of civilization sprouted in the Yanhuang period.

It is not unreasonable to say that the descendants of the Yellow Emperor exclude national prejudice and narrow national view.

As for the characteristics and wars of the Yellow Emperor, Yan Di and Chiyou, it is believed that it was this early war and collision that gained opportunities that were not available in other parts of the eastern land at the same time and promoted the breakthrough development of civilization in the Yellow River basin.

Yan Di's outstanding contribution is to break through the development of primitive agriculture. A large number of stones, bones, horns, ceramic farm tools, rolled plates, sticks, etc. were unearthed at the Beishouling site in Baoji, Yan Di's hometown (7000-5000 years ago), indicating that the ancestors at that time had entered the farming era and unearthed a large number of pottery pieces, which proved that they had mastered the pottery-making technology. According to records, the main contributions of Emperor Yandi Shennong are inventing farm tools, cultivating grains, making pottery, weaving, tasting hundreds of kinds of medicines, offering wax sacrifices, dancing, and creating the Japanese market. He is the main inventor of clothing, food, entertainment, medicine and trade in primitive society, which is related to the daily life of ordinary people and has economy. However, the tribal management level of Yan Di clan was obviously poor, so many tribal conflicts occurred during the reign of Yan Di clan. At this time, an inventor of the system who is good at war and managing tribes appeared. This is our other ancestor, the Yellow Emperor.

According to the existing written records, the outstanding talents of Huangdi lie in training troops, uniting tribes, establishing new systems, being good at employing people and managing tribes with new ideas. Clashes between clans are inevitable, and military means are the last support to solve these conflicts. It is precisely because of the constant tribal conflicts and the hard life of the people that the Yellow Emperor trained hard and established a relatively good tribal alliance army, defeating Yan Di and Chiyou Jiuli, which laid the foundation for the Yellow Emperor to create a broader tribal alliance. According to records, the main contribution of the Yellow Emperor is to collect all kinds of primitive political thoughts, establish bureaucratic system, rule by virtue tradition and etiquette system, and actively recruit sages and use good people. At the same time, the achievements of agricultural revolution in Yan Di were sorted out and carried forward, more tribes were United, the brutal conflict between primitive tribes was ended, and the exchanges and cooperation between tribes were promoted. It is with these systems and foundations that , Shun and Yu of the Eight and Nine Dynasties were able to carry out the feat of harnessing the Yellow River on a larger scale.

Therefore, if Yan Di Shennong is the inventor of primitive technology, production, trade, entertainment and art, then the Yellow Emperor is the founder of ideology, political system, social system, military and tribal management, and they are an indispensable part of a complete civilization. The civilized features of the eastern land are precisely the inheritance of their original basic paradigm, which is constantly carried forward, enriched and deduced.

In the history of China, the Han nationality is the most powerful inheritor of Yanhuang civilization. Therefore, the population of the Han nationality is also the most developed, and the rule time is relatively long. Other different ethnic minorities also rule in different areas, and the stage of the Oriental land is interpreted by all ethnic groups. Although with the evolution of history, the differences between ethnic groups are not small, but compared with other civilizations and ethnic groups, these differences are actually less.

Therefore, it is indisputable that Yan Huangdi is the humanistic ancestor of China people. Of course, some other ethnic groups also agree that Fuxi and others are their ancestors, and we think it is understandable. In fact, the whole East Asian society should belong to the same root and branch, and all have influenced each other more or less. It is said that Emperor Yan also invented and manufactured the harp and created the five-string sound of "Zheng Yu in the corner of the palace".

Of course, the Yellow Emperor is also great. The Yellow Emperor invented and manufactured the car, hence the name "Xuanyuan". The Yellow Emperor also began to build cauldrons, thus creating the history of "gourmet culture" in China. Lei Zu, the first lady of the Yellow Emperor, started sericulture and silk weaving. The Yellow Emperor was originally the leader of the tribes in the Central Plains, and later he fought Yan Di in the wild of Hanquan. With the support of various tribes, he won a great victory and was acclaimed as the leader of the tribal alliance. Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang deserve our gratitude and respect.

Yan Di tribe and Huangdi tribe developed continuously, and intermarried with various ethnic minorities, gradually forming the Huaxia nationality. Therefore, China people often call themselves descendants of the Chinese people.

Today, we are in a brand-new era of civil society, and the national consciousness is gradually disappearing. Historical grievances, such as clouds and smoke in the past, have long been ignored fossil stories, and perhaps many places have accumulated enough memories.

In any case, we should not forget our ancestors who made outstanding contributions to Chinese civilization in ancient times, so that we can have more courage and wisdom and create a better life in the face of new challenges in the history of human development.
