Yan Emperor

The Yan emperor stood no chance and lost the fight.

According to the Guoyu, it was the birthplace of the Yan emperor.

"Although Shaodian preceded the Yellow and Yan emperors, he was not their father."

A long debate has existed over whether or not the Yan Emperor was the same person as the legendary Shennong.

Hong Sheng and the Yan emperor were descended from Shennong.

Five hundred years elapsed from Shennong to the time of the Yellow and Yan emperors.

Yan Emperor Shi Chaoyi attempted to flee, but was intercepted in the spring of 763.

Because the Yan Emperor and Zhurong were all related to fire management, they became the Kitchen God in the legend.

The Yan emperor hailed from a different area around the Jiang River (thought to be the modern Wei.

An academic conference held in China in 2004 achieved general consensus that the Yan Emperor and Shennong were the same person.

(Through her father, she was therefore also a great-granddaughter of the Northern Yan emperor Feng Hong.)

When the Yan emperor was leading his tribe, he met Chi You leading his Nine Li tribes.

Some Han people believe they share common ancestors, distantly related to the Yellow Emperor and Yan Emperor, who existed thousands of years ago.

She was the youngest daughter of the Later Yan emperor Murong Bao (Emperor Huimin).

The Yan emperor proving unable to control the disorder within his realm, the Yellow Emperor took up arms to establish his domination over various warring factions.

The Yan emperor was the last generation; Shennong, Shaodian, the Flame Emperors, and Huangdi all preceded him.

She issued an edict deposing Emperor Fei and making Gao Yan emperor (as Emperor Xiaozhao).

Meanwhile, it was said that An Lushan, the Yan Emperor, was having eye problems and had become blind, and was also suffering from ulcers on his body.

It initially also was intended to rescue the last Former Yan emperor Murong Wei, until he was executed by Fu Jiān in 385.

The legendary origin of the family links it to descendants of the Yan Emperor who originally bore the ancestral name Jiang and the clan name "Gonggong".

Feng Ba's father Feng An (馮安) later served the Western Yan emperor Murong Yong as a general.

Hence, some people of Han call themselves "Descendants of the Yan Emperor" or "Descendants of the Yellow Emperor."

However, after he defeated the Later Yan emperor Murong Bao in 397 and seized most of Later Yan's territory, he claimed imperial title in 398.

As the Yan Emperor of Shennong planned to invade the local tribes nearby, the tribes turned to the Yellow Emperor, who raised armies against Shennong.

Murong Yong claimed the title of Prince of Hedong and sought to be a vassal of the Later Yan emperor Murong Chui.
