今次介紹的星空人物是大家熟悉的軒轅黃帝。
話說渭河流域有一個有熊國，其國君公孫氏的夫人一天郊遊到軒轅山，稍作休息，朦朧之間電光一閃，照遍整個山丘，其後公孫夫人便懷孕並誕下一名嬰孩，因夫人夢熊於軒轅山，故為嬰孩取名軒轅。這名嬰孩初生即能步行和說話，長有龍顏之相，到15歲便繼承國君之位。
其時共主炎帝神農氏年邁，無能力統率各部落，導致蚩尤作亂。軒轅領兵大敗蚩尤，成為新共主，因其出身於黃河流域，故被稱黃帝。此時炎帝欲奪回共主地位，但被軒轅打敗。中國人自稱為炎黃子孫乃源於此。
A Chinese Emperor in the Sky
I am going to introduce Xuanyuan(Huangdi)to you in this column.
There was a tribe of people led by Gongsun in the middle Yellow River region. One day Gongsun's wife saw a lightning while having a rest. She was pregnant afterwards and gave birth to a child. Gongsun named the child as Xuanyuan. At 15 Xuanyuan inherited his father's position as the leader of the tribe.
At the time Yandi, head of all the tribes, was very old. A tribe leader, Chiyou, rose against Yandi. Xuanyuan led his tribe to fight with Chiyou and defeated him. He became the new head leader. This was not what Yandi had intended. He fought with Xuanyuan to retake his power but did not succeed. Later Xuanyuan united the tribes as one nation. He became the first of the five legendary Chinese Emperors and was honoured as the common ancestor of the Chinese Han people. ■甄枝強 資深天文愛好者
