The Yellow Emperor

According to ancient Chinese history and legend, Huang-di, The Yellow Emperor, lived in the 27th century B.C. He was the son of Shao-dian whose tribe occupied the central plains of China. At the time of his birth, on Xuanyuan Hill, his mother Fubao claims to have seen lights flashing around the Big Dipper.

The Yellow Emperor lived in a time of constant tribal warfare. China was composed of over 40 tribes, each with their own customs and languages. The Yellow Emperor aimed to unify China and developed an army with strong virtues. In the significant Battle of Banquan, he defeated Shennongshi to rule as Lord of the World-a territory stretching to the sea in the East, to Gansu in the West, to Hebei in the North and to the Yangtze River in the South.

In the final battle, The Battle of Zhuolu, The Yellow Emperor fought with Chiyou of the Miao tribe. Chiyou is said to have had magical powers and invoked a thick fog which blanketed the earth for five miles. As a result, The Yellow Emperor could not defeat Chiyou and his army for a long time. The Yellow Emperor made a compass (a cart with a deity on it always pointing South) to orient himself. The Yellow Emperor and his army proceeded to defeat Chiyou.

After The Yellow Emperor pacified the warring tribes, he ushered in a time of unity for all of China.


Creativity, and invention flourished and Chinese culture owes much of their heritage to The Yellow Emperor. Members of his ministry were encouraged and are responsible for many inventions at the time of The Yellow Emperor's reign such as:

* The Lunar Calendar-Danao * Mathematics-Lishou * Clothes-Leizu, the Yellow Emperor's queen raised silkworms and made silk clothes * Music- Linglun invented the bamboo flute * Medicine-The Yellow Emperor wrote The Yellow Sovereigns Classic of Internal Medicine, the foundation of Traditional Chinese Medicine for twenty four centuries * Writing-Cang jie * Casting-coins were made from brass * Boat, cart, chop sticks, bow and arrow

The Yellow Emperor is rumored to have lived to be 100 years old; some legends say he lived to be 118. At the time of his death, a lightening bolt is said to have shot from the sky as a dragon descended. The Yellow Emperor mounted the dragon and rode to Heaven to join the immortals. The location of his tomb stands at the top of Mount Qiaoshan, about 180 kilometers north of Xian, capital of Northwest China's Shania Province.
