史記五帝本紀

　　黃帝者，少典之子，姓公孫，名曰軒轅。生而神靈，弱而能言，幼而徇齊，長而敦敏，成而聰明。軒轅之時，神農氏世衰。諸侯相侵伐，暴虐百姓，而神農氏弗能徵。於是軒轅乃慣用干戈，以徵不享，諸侯咸來賓從。而蚩尤最為暴，莫能伐。炎帝欲侵陵諸侯，諸侯咸歸軒轅。軒轅乃修德振兵，治五氣，蓺五種，撫萬民，度四方，教熊羆貔貅貙虎，以與炎帝戰於阪泉之野。三戰，然後得其志。蚩尤作亂，不用帝命。於是黃帝乃徵師諸侯，與蚩尤戰於涿鹿之野，遂禽殺蚩尤。而諸侯咸尊軒轅為天子，代神農氏，是為黃帝。天下有不順者，黃帝從而徵之，平者去之，披山通道，未嘗甯居。

　　東至於海，登丸山，及岱宗。西至於空桐，登雞頭。南至於江，登熊、湘。北逐葷粥，合符釜山，而邑於涿鹿之阿。遷徙往來無常處，以師兵為營衛。官名皆以雲命，為雲師。置左右大監，監於萬國。萬國和，而鬼神山川封禪與為多焉。獲寶鼎，迎日推筴。舉風後、力牧、常先、大鴻以治民。順天地之紀，幽明之占，死生之說，存亡之難。時播百... Continue reading book >>
