After the Yellow Emperor beheaded Chi You, he released his horse to Nanshan to rest and recuperate. Unexpectedly, Yu Gong, the son of the Yan Emperor Shennong, took advantage of the Yellow Emperor's defeat of Chi You and began to attack the Yellow Emperor with the intention of driving the Yellow Emperor out of the position of the human emperor. He became the new human emperor and the Yellow Emperor could not tolerate it. The world that had just settled was once again in chaos, so he raised his troops to attack Yugang. The Yellow Emperor used the Zhou bird osprey and the trembling eagle as the banner, and the bears, black tigers, and leopards as the vanguard to fight Yugang in the wilderness of Banquan. After three battles, Yugang was defeated. Huangdi conferred the title of vassal to Emperor Yan, Jiang Yuzong, and sealed him in Lushi City, Luoshui. Jiang Yugong refused to be granted a title and moved his family to the south of the Yangtze River. After that, he settled in the tea village of Hunan, where he worked as a doctor to save lives and heal the wounded, and was deeply loved by the local people. From then on, the Yellow Emperor's status as the co-lord of the world was finally established, and he ordered all disobedient tribes in the world to attack them as the emperor. After a total of 52 battles, the world was unified.
After the world was unified, the Yellow Emperor divided the prefectures and wild areas, instituted rituals, promoted music, and educated the people. At the same time, it also shows that various utensils are convenient for daily use. Among them, the minister Cao Huming made the upper garment and Boyu made the lower garment and Yu Ze made shoes. From then on, people no longer wore animal skins and tree bark. The Yellow Emperor also made boats and drums based on the principle of floating leaves floating on the water, and paired the boats with bows and sailed on the water. And based on the principle of turning the tent, it is understood that the car auxiliary facilitates transportation. Huang Yong's father understood the spring and Huang Emperor then ordered a cauldron and steamer to be made so that the people could steam rice and cook porridge. Later, houses and cities were built so that the people no longer lived in caves. Huang Di also worked with Qi Bo on internal and external scriptures to cure the common people's diseases. He also determined that the names of all things in the world were divided into 28 constellations. The ten days of A and B are used to record the day, and the twelve chen of Zichou are used to record the month, and sixty days are regarded as one Jiazi. The Yellow Emperor had four concubines and ten concubines. The imperial concubine was named Leizu of the Xiling family. She planted mulberry trees and raised silkworms herself and taught the people to weaver. The people called her "the first silkworm". Leizu organized a large number of women to go up the mountain to raise mulberry, raise silkworms and weave silk. But soon they encountered a big problem. Silkworms raised a lot of cocoons and produced a lot of cocoons, but they had difficulties in drawing silk and weaving silk. At this moment, a short, dark-skinned, and ugly woman among the group of girls understood the spinning wheel for winding silk and the loom for weaving silk. After learning about it, Huangdi greatly appreciated this invention and asked her to teach the skills to everyone. Later, with the help of Leizu, the Yellow Emperor married this ugly girl as his second concubine. This second concubine was respectfully called my mother. All these changes have made the people enjoy their food, their clothes, their customs, and their homes. A peaceful scene.
One day, Huangdi was watching the scenery with his ministers on Luoshui River. Suddenly he saw a big bird holding a Bian picture in its mouth and placing it in front of him. Huangdi quickly paid homage to it. Look at the bird, which looks like a crane, a rooster head, a swallow's beak, a turtle's neck, a dragon's shape, parallel wings, a fish's tail, and all five colors. The characters in the picture are the six characters of Shen De, Ren Yi, Benevolence and Wisdom. Huangdi had never seen this bird before, so he went to ask Tian Lao about it. God told him that the male of this kind of bird is called Phoenix and the female is called Huang. The morning call is Dengchen; the daytime call is Shangxiang; the evening call is Guichang; the night call is Baochang. The appearance of the phoenix indicates peace in the world. It is a sign of great auspiciousness. Later, the Yellow Emperor dreamed that two dragons came out of the Yellow River holding a white picture and presented it to him. Huang Di was puzzled and came to ask Tian Lao again. Tianlao replied: "Your Majesty, try to go to the river to see the emperor's plan?" Huangdi and Tianlao and others swam between Heluo and Shen Bi, killed three animals in the river, and fasted. It started with heavy fog for three consecutive days. After that, it rained heavily for another seven days and seven nights. Then a big fish came upstream carrying a white picture box, orchids, leaves, turtles and inscriptions on its back, and enthusiastically conferred the title of emperor on the shore. The emperor knew that Xiang Rui paid homage and gave him the fish to swim away. The emperor looked at the river again and thanked him. The name of Shuzhan's view is "Tu Lun". Order the ministers to hold the box and drive back to the court.
On the next day, the ministers who were promoted to the palace came to the palace and Huangdi asked the ministers: "I heard that Emperor Fuxi first received the "He Tu" and obtained the five essentials of setting up a spiritual platform and erecting five sense organs to describe the five events. What I have obtained now is also called the "He Tu". Different from the previous "He Tu", the images of the sun, moon and stars teach me to set up a book of star officials to pass on to future generations. How dare I not follow it? The steady breath of the wind. It was ordered that the armillary sphere should be made to cover the sky and resemble the shape of the sky.
Huang Di asked Gui Zhubei: "How many can we count in the last and next week?" Gui Zhubei replied: "The sky is divided into six sections and the earth is divided into six periods. The weather system is divided into six periods for preparation; the earth is divided into five years for the week. Five* *The age of three thousand seven hundred and twenty qi is one year, and the age of 60 and 1,440 qi is one week. It can be seen that it is too short of the period. This is because the news of the five quantities of governing the five qi is observed and used as the Jiayin day of the dynasty calendar. Ji Jiazi and the season are determined. It is the first day of the year and the first day of the year has arrived in the south. It can be predicted that the first day of the year will be the first day of the year. He also asked: "Do you think this is the end and beginning of the Heaven's Period?" The ghost said for a moment: "Yes." He also said: "Although the Heaven's Period has ended and begun again, sixteen gods must be created to push the rest. The leap months are separated to determine the four seasons. "Huang Di asked: "What is leap time?" Qi said: "When one is three years old, there are more than one month and 30 days. The seven leap calendars are all starting with Jiazi, so the time will follow and the time will follow. "The emperor said: "Good." He ordered the officials to set the number and lead them to meet. Linglun, the ruler of the Law of Weight and Measurement, took bamboo from the Yin of Ruan and Kun in the west of Daxia and planted it in the valley of Jixi River. He used it to create a hollow orifice with a thick jun. He cut the two sections three inches and nine minutes long and blew them into the palace of Huangzhong. Make twelve tubes to listen to the call of the phoenix and distinguish the twelve rhythms - the male calls are six, the female calls are six, and the six sounds are compared with the palace of the yellow bell. The sound governs the qi of yin and yang, the changes in the four seasons, the laws, the calendar, the number of news, and the rest of the year. He also ordered Lao Lao to slowly cast the yellow bell Taizu with twelve bells as the twelve laws. When the Qi arrives every month, the Jia Guan will fly into ashes. The ancients burned the reed pipes into ashes and placed them in the Twelve Rhythm Pipes in a secret room to account for the climate. When a certain solar term arrives, the ashes from a certain rhythm tube will fly out, indicating that the solar term has reached its corresponding position and the five tones stand in the sky. Also named Darong, Rongcheng, and Che area astrological signs. Everyone follows the instructions.
The Yellow Emperor also divided the territory into territories, with eight families as one well, three wells as one neighbor, three neighbors as one friend, and three friends as one li and five li as one town, ten towns as the capital, ten capitals as one division, and ten divisions as states. The whole country was divided into nine states. There are 120 official positions in Wan Guo, including three official positions, three young masters, four assistants, four historians, six prime ministers and nine virtues to manage the country. Officials at all levels were asked to implement the "six strict prohibitions" of "sound prohibitions, color prohibitions, clothing prohibitions, incense prohibitions, taste prohibitions and house prohibitions", requiring officials to be simple and to oppose extravagance. It is proposed to govern the country by virtue, "cultivate virtue and strengthen the army," and use "virtue" to serve the world. To cultivate virtue and benevolence is to practice virtue and establish righteousness, especially to establish "ministers of nine virtues" to educate the people. The nine virtues are filial piety, kindness, literature, trustworthiness and words. , respect, loyalty, courage and righteousness to carry out ideological and moral construction. In the use of talents, we will petition for talents, select talents, and use them according to their talents. To implement the rule of law, "rituals and laws" and "rule of law without change" were ordered to serve as the judge, and those who committed serious crimes were sentenced to death and those who committed the most serious crimes were sentenced to death.
The Yellow Emperor made many inventions in agricultural production, among which the main one was the implementation of the land-acre system. Before the Yellow Emperor, countless fields were cultivated without borders. The Yellow Emperor redivided the country's land into "well" characters in order to prevent disputes. The middle piece was "acres" and was owned by the government. The eight surrounding pieces were "private fields" and were cultivated and harvested by eight families. The government also dug holes through the soil. Implement farming system on farmland, sow grains in a timely manner with a pestle and mortar to open a garden, plant fruit trees and vegetables, plant mulberry, raise silkworms, raise animals and poultry for grazing, etc. In terms of sewing and weaving, the Ming Dynasty used looms to make clothes, shoes and hats, tents, felts, robes, furs, canopies, armor, flags, and jackets. In terms of pottery making, bowls, plates, cauldrons, retorts, plates, basins, stoves, etc. are produced. In terms of smelting, copper is smelted to make bronze tripods, knives, coins, zhengs, cymbals, bronze mirrors, bells, and blunderbuss. In terms of architecture, palaces, palaces, courtyards, bright halls, temples, pavilions, castles, buildings, gates, steps, silkworm rooms, ancestral temples, Yufang Palace, etc. are built. In terms of transportation, we manufacture boats, carts, compasses, and drum carts. In terms of weapons, we manufacture knives, spears, bows and arrows, crossbows, six flags, flags, five-square flags, horns, harpoons, military symbols, ladders, oars, cannons, swords, archers, etc. In daily life, cooked food, porridge, rice, wine, meat, weighing ruler, bucket, rules, inkstone, table, felt, Zhan, seal, beads, lamp, bed, mat, cuju, etc. At this time, the written deeds created by Emperor Fuxi could no longer record what happened in the world very well, so Huang Di ordered Cangjie to create more practical writing.
After doing all this, Huangdi began to tour Mount Tai, Fengchan around the world. Huang Di went east to the East China Sea and climbed Mount Maru and Mount Tai. Go west to Kongtong and climb Jitou Mountain. We went south to the Yangtze River and climbed Xiong Mountain and Xiang Mountain. He expelled the Xūnyù tribe to the north and came to Busan. After signing the talisman contract with the princes, he built a city at the foot of Zhulu Mountain. The Yellow Emperor moved around and had no fixed residence. Wherever he led his troops, he set up military camps for self-defense. All the official positions granted by the Yellow Emperor were named after clouds. The army was called Yunshi.
