Yan Emperor
The Yan Emperor, or Yandi (Chinese: 炎帝; Mandarin Pinyin: Yán Dì; literally "Flame Emperor") was a legendary Han Chinese ruler who lived in pre-dynastic China. Modern scholarship has identified the Sheep's Head Mountains (simplified Chinese: 羊头山; traditional Chinese: 羊頭山; pinyin: Yáng?tóu Shān) just north of Gaoping in Shanxi Province as his homeland and territory.
A long debate has existed over whether or not the Yan Emperor was the same person as the legendary Shennong. An academic conference held in China in 2004 achieved general consensus that the Yan Emperor and Shennong were the same person. Another possibility is that the term Flame Emperor was a title, held by dynastic succession, with Shennong being known as Yandi, perhaps posthumously. Accordingly, the term Flame Emperors would be generally more correct. The succession of Flame Emperors, from Shennong, the first Yandi, until the time of the last Yan Emperor's defeat by Huangdi (the Yellow Emperor), may have been some 500 years.
炎帝
炎帝是中国上古时期汉民族的一位统治者。现在史学界已经证实，山西省高坪的羊头山就是他的出生地和领地！长期以来，炎帝是否就是神农，史学界一直存有争论。2004年国内召开的一次学术会议最终确定炎帝就是神农。也还有另一种可能，炎帝仅仅只是一个名号，由王朝的继承者使用，况且神农也被唤作炎帝，然后就这样流传下来了。相应地，炎帝的称呼就变得顺理成章。对于火焰王朝的继承从第一代的炎帝神农开始，一直到最后被黄帝部落打败，持续了大约有500年的时间。 |
