Pictures of Xuan Yuan Huang Di aka Yellow Emperor (軒轅黃帝)





Huang Di aka Yellow Emperor (黃帝), consider as the 1st Emperor in the whole Chinese History and Religion (華夏開化之君主).

According to records, Huang Di was born about 4800-4900 years ago, hometown in Xuan Yuan Hill 軒轅丘 (now in He Nan Province, Xin Zheng Area 今河南省新鄭). Real surname known as Gong Sun (原姓公孫), due to he was born at Xuan Yuan Hill, later part in the History, the folks address him as Xuan Yuan Shi (因生與軒轅丘﹐又稱軒轅氏), in some myths, Huang Di was believed to have born with 4 Faces – looking into the 4 Directions.

And according to spiritual records, Huang Di was the manifestation or transformation of Deity from the Bei Dou (The Great Dipper of the North 北斗身之化身), just before the day of Huang Di was being born, his mother saw a great star appeared from the North, on the star, there was 3 characters – Huang Di Zi (黃帝子), meaning Yellow Emperor. Immediately after seeing the star, Huang Di was born, from then, most of the folks address him as Huang Di Zi, which later, became Huang Di (而后稱黃帝).

During the battle against the Giant Invader Chi You (蚩尤), Huang Di was being imparted with Spiritual Skills from Xi Wang Mu (西王母). Just at the time of Huang Di being defeated by Chi You, Xi Wang Mu sent Jiu Tian Xuan Nv (九天玄女) to pass to Huang Di a few Spiritual Manuals and Scripts, from then, Huang Di defeated Chi You and conquered the whole Kingdom.

From then, Huang Di started to invent a lot of systems, such as making used of Shi Tian Gan (十天干) and Shi Er Di Zhi (十二地支) to form a cycle of 60 years (according to Lunar Calendar 六十甲子), asked Ling Lun (伶 倫) to invent Music using bamboos (制樂), asked Lei Zu Yuan Fei (嫘 祖元妃) to harvest silk from silkworms (採絲), asked Cang Jie (倉頡) to create Chinese characters for writing and reading (造字), invention of boats, houses, carts, etc.

Due to his great contributions to the Chinese Society and Culture, folks respected him as one of the Ancestors of the Chinese, which later being included into the San Huang Wu Di Group (三皇五帝).

In Taoism, we regard him as one of the Founders of Taoism (道教始祖), without him, there wont be Chinese Culture and so, with Lao Zi (老子 - 道教道祖) and Heavenly Master Zhang Dao Ling (張道陵 - 道教教祖), we addressed them as Dao Jiao San Zu (道教三祖).
