At the same time, another ancient hero of the Chinese nation also appeared on this loess plateau. He is Emperor Yan. According to historical records, he is also known as Shennong, because he made mines at the right time, taught the people to farm, and tasted a hundred herbs to cure all diseases. Primitive tribes led by him planted hundreds of kinds of grain and vegetables in the Weihe River Basin on the Loess Plateau, making the yellow land in this area the birthplace of primitive agriculture in China.
Later, Yan and Huang joined hands to defeat Chiyou in the battle of Zhuolu, and the Yellow Emperor defeated Yan in the battle. The Yellow River Basin experienced great fission and fusion, and the Yanhuang ethnic group gradually merged, and also assimilated other ethnic tribes, and finally formed a multi-ethnic Huaxia ethnic group with Huangdi as the ancestor of Huangtong. According to legend, Zhuan Xu, Yao, Shun and Yu are all Chinese heroes. The ancestors of Xia, Shang and Zhou who entered the stage society were also descendants of the Yellow Emperor.
