The Yellow Emperor is considered to be the founder of Chinese civilization as well as its ancestor. He lived about four thousand years ago. He was the mystical chief of one of the strongest tribes in the middle valley of the Yellow River. During this period many tribes came to settle around the Yellow River. They fought with each other to get more farmland. The constant war caused much suffering to the people. The Yellow Emperor decided to put an end to this situation. He worked out an ethical code and trained his army. With his army, the Yellow Emperor conquered a wide area along the Yellow River. He was made chief of the tribal union.
