Yanhuang

Yanhuang or Yan Huang (simplified Chinese: 炎黄; traditional Chinese: 炎黃; pinyin: Yán Huáng) was the name of a legendary East Asian ethnic group who were said to have inhabited the middle Yellow River basin in ancient China. The name comes from their alleged descent from two early Bronze Age agrarian tribal confederacies led by the Flame Emperor (Yandi) and Yellow Emperor (Huangdi), whose allied victory over the eastern Jiuli tribes led by the Chiyou at the mythical Battle of Zhuolu has been considered as the foundation for the Chinese civilization and the cultural identity of the Chinese people.
