摘　　要：炎帝和黄帝都是传说时代汉族先民公认的首领 ,也是汉族人民共同尊奉的至高始祖 ,汉族先民还把自己的文明和许多发明创造都追溯到炎帝和黄帝身上 ,因此 ,汉族便世代认为自己是炎黄子孙。有关炎帝和黄帝的一些历史传说 ,正好反映和折射出汉族先民起源上的多元性 ,以及他们早期生产、生活方式上各自的不同特点。古代华夏之所以视炎帝和黄帝之间的关系似同胞兄弟 ,可能是作为农耕民族的汉族先民 ,已知晓游牧文化对于农耕文化 ,以及从游牧者或半游牧者转入农耕生产 。Yandi and Huangdi are both legendary acknowledged leaders of Han ancestors, and also the paramount ancestors whom Han people revere. Moreover, the Han ancestors attributed their civilization and many inventions to Yandi and Huangdi. Thus Hans call themselves descendents of Yandi and Huangdi. All these reflect the pluralism in Hans' origin and their different characteristics in ways of production and life. The reason why ancient Cathay looked upon Yandi and Huangdi as compatriots is that as the cultivating people, Han ancestors were aware that nomadic culture, and nomads and semi nomads shifting to farming had great impact on the development of Cathay agriculture.
