It is said that there was no such thing as a country in ancient times, and people lived in the form of tribal alliances. The Yellow Emperor was the leader of the ancient tribal alliance in China and the leader of the ancient Chinese nation in China. At the same time, he is the first of the five emperors. Known as China's "ancestor of mankind". ?
History shows that the Yellow Emperor was named after his virtue. So we are called descendants of the Chinese people. ?
According to legend, the Yellow Emperor unified "three tribes and seventy-two small tribes." After the establishment of the world's first country with a Lord, we should formulate a totem of national unity. Representatives of various tribes expressed their opinions, saying that their plan was the best totem, and the Yellow Emperor could not agree for a while. ?
The Yellow Emperor thought hard and finally came up with a solution. He took a part from the totem of each tribe, and made a new totem with snake body, fish scales, horse head, lion nose, tiger eye, ox tongue, antlers, ivory, sheep beard, eagle claw and dog tail, named "Dragon", which can fly clouds and break fog, and can also cross the river. ?
The Yellow Emperor created a brand-new creature, which he saw for the first time, so he rode around on a dragon, but the dragon soon took the Yellow Emperor away without a trace. ?
The people have said that the Yellow Emperor finally rode a dragon to heaven, and the people are reluctant to part with him, running around and even tearing off the dragon beard. However, everything is in vain. ?
On this day every year, people climb mountains, hoping to see the Yellow Emperor Lapras return. ?
This is the origin of the Double Ninth Festival. ?
Since the era of Xuanyuan Huangdi, the dragon has become a symbol of auspicious authority of the Chinese nation. Later emperors were called "real dragon emperors", and the whole Chinese nation called themselves descendants of dragons.
