I used to cross this great river so many times,

to trade salt. to fight.

I will make a mark on the rock for crossing the river one time.

I don't know,

when our parents start, to do so on the rocks.

But from the marks they made,

I can feel the breath of them,

and the warmth of their skin,

and the passage of days in their lives.

Ancestors of Youxiong, bless your offspring, go and exchange salt.

[ JI DI ] Help, help ...

Di ... Di got onto the land.

Di ...!

Di ...

God bless us.

Di ...

-= XUAN YUAN =- The Great Emperor

This is how you plant grain? - Yeah, the grain will grow much better this way.

Good salt. How much salt can I get with these things?

You can take as much as you want!

Really? Are you serious?

Have you been here befor? - No, I haven't.

In Shen-nung ... you can exchange as much as you want.

I wanna exchange half of my belongings for salt,

and the rest for some grain. Is that ok?

As you like!

Time for lunch! It's time for lunch!

Chief, please.

Which tribe are you from?

I am from Youxiong in Jishui.

Is it the one in Juci Mountain? - Right.

It would take over twenty days to get here.

Are you hungry? - Yes, I am.

Come on, and eat!

Go quickly!

Which tribe is attacking us?

We Shen-nung haven't fight against others,

for ten thousands days!

Chief ... I have no idea.

Chief, chief ...

Chief ...

Chief!

Save the chief and leave quickly! - Come!

Just like you, he can also fly around through trees.

But the way he dresses up, isn't like a Shen-nung.

I'm gonna call the beasts to go after him.

I will catch him, and make him surrender.

The High Priest ...

... has died.

Call up people ...

and retake Yanze!

Protect the chief!

Hold tightly!

Pull ...

What is it?

It's a rock used to identify direction based on the shadow of the sun.

Look!

We are seven and a half days walking distance away to the southeast of Jishui.

Based on the shadow of this small stick? - Yeah.

What if there is no sun? - If there is no sun ...

Sunflowers and bark will also do.

In the evening, the Big Dipper will help us to tell the directions aswell.

What is carved on the rock?

What I carved ... is " Di ".

With the blessing of Di, I won't lose the rock.

Please carve something for me too.

Okay.

I will carve LEI for you.

Hurry up, and kill that leopard. The doe is pregnant!

She carried a baby, now both of them are gone.

Sorry, my bow isn't good enough.

By using deer, and leopard's sinew to make bowstrings.

They can jump very high and far.

Then they must have strong hamstrings.

This bow is ten times as strong as the old one.

Chase!

It's two hundred steps away! We surely could have killed that leopard.

Yes, we could have.

Be my woman. I want you now!

You don't want to be JIU's woman? - No!

Then whose woman you want to be? - DI's ...

You're not DI's woman.

You're not. - Yes! I will be for sure.

We'll arrive Yongxiong Tribe in a couple of days.

Yeah, I know.

Do you regret coming here with me? Do you?

No.

Don't move.

There is a snake behind you!

A fierce leopard is behind you!

Don't be afraid of them. I'm here.

We are together.

Along the direction that the trees lead to, go through this forest...

and across one river, then you will reach the Yongxiong Tribe.

This is what you say over all the way along.

When I get caught by rain, I can always find my way home.

Grandma said, it's hard for a woman to get across the river.

You will be my woman, definitely.

Alien tribe is coming. They're coming!

Alien tribe is coming! Alien tribe is coming!

I'm the chief of the Shen-nung Tribe,

Jiang Yan! Does this place belong to the Youxiong tribe?

Exactly!

Don't worry. We are here to take refuge.

We are willing to open up large tracts of wasteland for you.

Please show your mercy,

and give us land,

to live on.

We will appreciate it,

from our deep heart.

We are here!

Meat?

Anyone in my house?

DI ... it's me. I have been living here since you left.

And I knew you were coming back, so I baked rabbit for you.

Who is she?

She isn't from Youxiong!

She is LEI, from Luming in Xiling.

Now she is my woman.

You're not happy I'm with DI, are you? - No, I'm not! You are too beautiful.

I was born to be with DI. - MO!!

I've never said you are my woman.

As long as DI likes it, you can also be with him.

Pooh!

How dare you, to take away DI from me!

MO...! Please leave!

DI ...

Let's call her back.

It's for the best. I watched her grow up and,

I never considered her as my woman for a second.

You are the only woman that I want to be with.

DI ...

I wanna be with you. - JI JIU wants you to be his woman.

Then, I would rather die!

DI ...

If you refuse me,

I will go into the forest and let the beasts eat me.

Be with me!

Really?

Now you are my woman.

Chief of Shen-nung, you have opened up vast farmland.

Youxiong ... hasn't returned any favor yet.

Youxiong provides Shen-nung land ... to live on.

Which is a huge favor to us.

Sweet.

Mellow.

What water is this?

What's this then?

Just eat, and I will let you know.

Hmm, so tasty! - Tasty!

MO!

So this is me?

Yeah, it's the day when you came.

Do these marks represent those days I was here?

Right.

The place where the sun rises is different everyday.

You can tell that from the shadows of the stick.

And just on the 360th day, the shadow will move back to the first mark.

Oh, I can't believe that I have been staying here for so many days.

Fire! A big fire! Quickly!

A big fire! Fire!

Don't put it out. Don't put it out. I lit it. It was me.

DI, why are you doing this?

You will know it when the fire is out.

Why? - Strong wall ... Strong wall?

Strong wall? What wall? So strong?

DA ZI and Hu TOU, come and let's go. - Okay.

Come on!

This wall can stand up to the wind, rain and beasts.

It is very strong.

That wall? Why is it so strong?

Because I mixed twigs and branches together, pasted mud on it then baked them.

DI ... can the wall be built ...

around our place?

Yeah, it can be done for sure.

DI says, that our millet has grown very well.

We have enough food, for our children when they are borned.

That's so great!

Good grain! - Good grain! Good grain!

Beasts! Beasts!

Beasts ...

Quickly! Beasts!

Help! Help!

What is that?

Well, it is the wall.

Why is it named the wall (strong)?

Because it can resist beasts, floods and even invaders.

Who built it?

JI DI of Youxiong.

Where is this JI Di? - JI Di?

JI DI has led all the young men ... to hunt beasts.

Take your people,

and run immediately.

Or ...

all of you will be eaten by my beasts.

Run! Run all of you!

Quickly! Move faster!

Catch up!

Quickly!

The wall stands in the way and we can't even walk through.

Let's pull it down.

High Priest, don't do that!

Why not?

Our people, can stay behind the wall and the alien can't invade.

Besides, it can protect us from water and beasts.

Thanks to God of JIU LI ...

for bestowing this powerful wall.

Who built it?

It was build by JI DI of Youxiong.

JI DI ...

JI DI, JI DI, JI DI.

My baby ...

is he beautiful?

Chief of Shen-nung, Chief of JI SHAN.

DI ...

CHI YOU ...

brought his beasts ...

and took over our place.

Our people had to flee out of there.

The Chiyou's spearheads are too sharp ...

and our axes are no match for them.

Chief JIANG YAN, could you tell me how to make the sharp spearheads?

This stone ...

is so sharp that.

DI ... to the end, and please defend Youxiong to the end.

Please!

DI ...

DI ...

LEI has been caught.

I want her! - She is JI DI's woman.

Don't touch her!

I just want her!

After we defeat JI DI, all the women will be yours.

His arrow can kill people now.

LEI ...

DI ...

CHI YOU let me go ...

and he wants you to surrender.

No, never.

Go ...!

Go, quickly! Go!

Pull!

Pull ...!

Back!!

Back, back, quickly!

Chief, without pig skin, sheep skin and rafts...

we can't cross the great river. - Then make one.

We are out of time. It's too late. Let's find another way.

We have no choice. It's our only change to get away.

Chief, chief ...

Chief, elder JIANG YAN and his people want to commit suicide.

Chief, chief ... with the shortage of food and Chiyou's chase,

elder has no other choice but to die, it's our rule! - Bullshit!

Now I'll abolish the rule.

No suicide any more.

I'm the chief of Youxiong. I abolish this rule!

Now get back onto the land.

The rule has been abolished.

CHI YOU is coming!

CHI YOU is coming!

CHI YOU is coming! Run away! He's coming!

Come, quickly! Hurry! Come on, hurry!

Run, run, run ...

Come on, go quickly!

The great river,

ends ... Youxiong's future.

No ...

As long as one woman lives,

our future will still exist.

Let's go.

I'm JI DI, I'm here for you!

Catch JI DI!

Go back!

Quickly! Bring all the people and get him.

I want him alive, to build me the great wall.

JI DI has fooled us,

by seducing us back to where we were.

Go back!

Get JI DI.

Go, go, go! Fetch ropes immediately!

Who dares to save CHI YOU!

Back!

Back! Go back!

JI DI ... I will chase you to death!

What kind of water is this?

It's divined water made with wild fruits, dates and grain.

It's only for the most welcomed guests in Youxiong.

How is JI DI going to deal with me?

As soon as the Chiyou Tribe retreats from Jishui,

you are free to go.

DI ...

It's my fault.

Shen-nung.

No, it's not.

It's time for CHI YOU to repay that.

What?

Go, and warn all elders ...

to be prepared for the coming flood.

The flood is coming!

I'll go, and let everyone know that, our great wall is strong enough...

to resist the flood.

All people, get up to the altar.

The flood is coming!

Run away! The flood, the flood is coming!

The flood!

Run quickly!

DI, what are you doing? - To save CHI YOU!

The flood is on the way!

Catch the rattan!

Take it.

CHI YOU ... CHI YOU ...!

Pull.

That way, to the altar.

Move away!

DI ...

Thank God, you wake up!

LEI just gave birth to a baby. It's a boy.

God blessed me!

I have two wonderful women.

CHI YOU ...! Where is CHI YOU? - He has left.

People are waiting for you ...

to speak to our ancestors on the altar.

Now you are the chief of all clans.

Could you stay?

No. I won't stop my trip until the end of the day.

Take your woman with you.

All women will be mine,

as long as they are out there.

DI ...

DI ...

Di ...

DI ...

Soused beast meat, and divine water.

Give this to your woman!

I'll give you a hundred best men.

No, thanks.

No one can beat me except you.

[ 20 years later ]

Chief ...

Chief ... someone's crossing the river by raft.

They wear such strange clothes. They're not from our clans.

You are? - I am CHI YOU's son, BO.

And this is my sister, WU.

No need for this.

How is your father? - He has been summoned by the God of CHI YOU.

This is the Chief's Crown, and he asked us to send it to you.

It has four god birds holding the Sun God in their mouths.

All of these ...

will bless all your clans peace and safety forever.

Thank you so much!

It's ancestor is the wild ox,

which was tamed by my father then.

It can be used to plow the field, bear strow and carry stones.

Besides, it's meat could be made for food, skin for clothes and shoes...

and his sinew for bowstrings. My father said, it must be sent to you, Chief.

How sweet!

Father, what is this?

It's called "Country".

The square, stands for our powerful wall,

and these three "people" represent all tribes.

Only united tribes ... can be called "Country".

So, a Country are united tribes, and united tribes are a Country.

JI DI, JI DI ... - When looking back,

we are wondering where we come from,

where we will go to,

what the life left, and what the life take away...

will always be blended with the land under our feet.

Only the land can live beyond death,

and understand the meaning of life.

Our people will remain from generation to generation.

My life is able to go on forever,

in our generations!

Today, all clans choose me ...

as their Chief, their beloved Chief.

JI DI, feels so honored and grateful.

We will regard earth as our mother,

grain as our lives,

and food as our prime needs ...

and color Yellow as our blessing.

We'll share all our food,

and happiness together.

To show people's respect, JI DI was posthumously titled as Huang Emperor,

who is also known as Xuanyuan Huang Emperor.

JIANG YAN was posthumously titled as Yan Emperor.

CHI YOU was posthumously titled as the God of War.

All of them are considered as primogenitor of Chinese Culture.

Their stories are spread from generation to generation.
