Yandi
After the battle, the Yellow Emperor built his capital in Zhuolu, and established the agricultural confederacy that later came to be known as the Huaxia civilization, which would evolve into the Han Chinese nation. The Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor were often credited for allowing the Chinese civilization to thrive due to the battle, and many Chinese people call themselves "descendants of Yan and Huang" () to this day. Because of his ferocity in battle, Chi You was also worshiped as a war deity in ancient China. According to the "Records of the Grand Historian", Qin Shi Huang worshipped Chi You as the God of War, and Liu Bang worshiped at Chi You's shrine before his decisive battle against Xiang Yu. In modern China, the Hall of the Three Grand Ancestors built in Xinzheng is dedicated to Huangdi, Yandi and Chi You who are collectively revered as the founding ancestors of the Chinese nation.
