| “ | Huangdi, who is also named Xuanyuan, is widely worshipped as the common ancestor of the ancient Chinese people. One scholarly mythological text lists a number of Huangdi’s most prominent descendants, “such as Gun and Yu, the great heroes who controlled the flood; Zhuanxu, the mythical emperor; Zhong and Li, the heroes separating heaven from earth; Shujun, the Cultivation God; and Yuqiang, the Sea God.” -The Handbook of Chinese Mythology, Lihui Yang and Deming An. |

Trivia[]
- With this technology researched, an eponymous passive ability is added to Dao Swordsmen and Ge Halberdiers, the description for which states that they gain buffs when any nearby unit dies (suggesting even non-infantry units). This is misleading, as the effect is that they confer buffs to the player's and allies' nearby infantry units when they die.
- With this technology researched, Tiger Cavalry (Dismounted), who are infantry units, benefit from the increased attributes when a Dao Swordsman or Ge Halberdier nearby dies, but they themselves do not gain the ability from this technology, so their death does not improve attributes of other nearby infantry units.
