The opening chapter of "Historical Records" "Historical Records: The Chronicles of the Five Emperors" records the life of the Yellow Emperor, the ancestor of the Chinese nation's humanities. The article records that more than 4,000 years ago, the Yandi tribe and the Huangdi tribe merged into one body and formed the Yanhuang Alliance to safeguard the stability of the world. The "fusion of Yan and Huang" and the obedience of the princes created the ancient governance of national integration, stability and unity. Since then, Chinese people all over the world have had a unique name - "descendants of Yan and Huang".

Emperor Yan is the honorific title of the leader of the Jiang tribe in ancient China. He was also named Shennong, Kuikui, Lianshan, Lieshan, and Zhu Xiang. Legend has it that the leader of the tribe named Jiang got the throne because he knew how to use fire, so he was called Emperor Yan. According to legend, Emperor Yan was born with the head of an ox. He personally tasted herbs and developed the use of herbal medicine to treat diseases; he invented slash-and-burn farming and created two types of soil-turning agricultural tools, and taught people to reclaim wasteland and grow food crops; he also led tribal people to create pottery and cooking utensils for eating.

The Yellow Emperor, the leader of the ancient Chinese tribal alliance and the first of the Five Emperors. The Yellow Emperor is revered as the "first ancestor of humanities". According to historical records, Huangdi was named Huangdi because of his auspicious native virtues. During the reign of the Yellow Emperor, he sown hundreds of grains and vegetation, vigorously developed production, and began to make clothes and crowns, build boats and chariots, make music, and compose the "Huangdi Neijing".

The Battle of Banquan was a war between the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor for the leadership of the Great China Tribal Alliance. The Yan Emperor clan was defeated and merged with the Huang Emperor clan, and the Yan and Huang forces grew stronger. Later, the Yellow Emperor defeated Chi You, the leader of the Jiuli tribe of the Miaoman group, in the Battle of Zhuolu, and his power expanded. The culture and civilization of Yanhuang influenced the surrounding tribes. The Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor gradually merged with the tribes living in the east and part of the tribes in the south. The ancient Chinese tribal alliance was finally formed, forming the prototype of the Chinese nation, which was called the Han nationality after the Han Dynasty. Among the ethnic groups and tribes in the Central Plains at that time, the Huangdi tribe was stronger and had a higher culture, so the Huangdi tribe became the representative of the Central Plains culture. Emperors Yan and Huang became the ancestors of the Han people. Therefore, people often call the Han people the "descendants of Yan and Huang" or the descendants of the Yellow Emperor.

The Chinese call themselves "descendants of Yan and Huang" and worship Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang as the ancestors of the Chinese nation's humanity, which has become the spiritual driving force for the unity and struggle of the Chinese nation.
