The Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan is the earliest ancestor of Chinese civilization and of the tribe leader of China in remote antiquity. The Yellow Emperor (2697 BC - 2599 BC) was born in Youxiong (now Xinzheng, Henan province), wher he started his career and located the capital city. His courtesy name is Xuanyuan-shi, also known as Youxiong-shi. The title "Yellow" was given to his name because referring to the five traditional elements, the color of earth was associated with his ruling era at the time. Thus, Xuanyuan gained the pseudonym of "the Yellow Emperor". His great achievement of unifying all Chinese ethic groups has been recorded, as well as his other achievements, including cultivating various kinds of plants, focusing on agricultural production, creating Chinese character writing system, creating clothes and hats, building boats and vehicles, inventing the south pointing chariots, inventing calculations, making sound laws and traditional Chinese medicines. As the top of the Five Emperors of Chinese ancestors, including Emperor Yan and Chi You, Xuanyuan is said to have authored The Medical Classic of the Yellow Emperor.
