The Yellow Emperor, surnamed Ji and styled Xuanyuan, is known as the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan and is revered as the ancestor of the Huaxia people. Early Chinese historical texts such as the Guoyu and the Zuo Zhuan depict the Yellow Emperor as a mythological figure. For thousands of years, whether the Yellow Emperor was a man or a god has remained a mystery. This book tells the legendary story of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, the founder of the divine land, and his eternal achievements.
In the primordial chaos formed by forests, swamps, deserts, Gobi, strange ponds, secluded valleys, venomous insects, and bizarre beasts, a primordial youth struggles to survive in the belly of a snake, within a swamp, under a divine sword, and in traps. He hunts down his enemies, protects a holy maiden, allies with people, hunts in the wilderness, and, amidst relentless pursuit and upheaval, liberates the brave warriors of various enslaved tribes, forming a formidable and awe-inspiring "Dragon Journey." This youth, named Xuanyuan, is the protagonist of Long Ren's new work, Xuanyuan: The Absolute.
Generations of Chinese descendants have revered Xuanyuan as the Yellow Emperor. Every nation has its own era of legends, and the Yellow Emperor is a representative figure of China's legendary era. People have concentrated the virtues and creations of ancient people upon him, leading Chinese civilization from barbarism to civilization. It is said that Yao, Shun, Yu, and Tang were all his descendants, and thus the Yellow Emperor was revered as the common ancestor of the Chinese nation.
The true story of the Yellow Emperor has long been lost in the mists of time, but his legend has endured for thousands of years. In Long Ren's magical world of imagination, the Yellow Emperor possesses the spirit of a modern impoverished youth: born into poverty, losing his mother in childhood, and forging his way with nothing but his bare hands, ultimately overcoming all hardships to achieve greatness. The natural and social backdrop of the primordial wilderness becomes a magical curtain behind which the Yellow Emperor grows, highlighting a perfect man—superb in martial arts, extraordinary in demeanor, beloved by all, and both wise and brave. He even attracts the devoted affections of one after another of the most outstanding women.
Long Ren's Yellow Emperor embodies all the virtues of the perfect man in the hearts of Chinese men and women. Even his tall stature and unremarkable appearance perfectly align with the Chinese aesthetic of sages!
