In ancient China, there was a legend that three emperors and five emperors were collectively called "three emperors and five emperors". Qin Shihuang used the "emperor" of Huang San and the "emperors" of the five emperors to express his lofty position. So, who are the three emperors and five emperors? Opinions vary.
According to Historical Records, Qin Shihuang, Huang Di and Tai Huang are Huang San, while Tai Huang is considered to be the most expensive. So, who is Tai Huang? Taiping Yulan Volume 78 quotes another viewpoint from Spring and Autumn Wei, and holds that the emperor, the Yellow Emperor and Ren Huang are Huang San. It seems that Tai Huang is Ren Huang. Biography of Shangshu and White Tiger Yi Tong. It is believed that it should be Suiren's family, Fuxi's family and Shennong's family, while the Uighur classics such as Dou Yun's Book and Yuan Mingbao not only agree with Fuxi and Shennong's family, but also supplement the Nuwa who created human beings. In addition, Fuxi, Shennong and Huangdi are regarded as Huang San in The Emperor's Century, and Fuxi, Shennong and * * * are regarded as Huang San in As a Mirror Biography. From this point of view, Fuxi and Shennong occupy two seats in Huang San, and their theories are basically the same, but there are great differences about who is the third place.
As for the five emperors in ancient times, there are different opinions. Historical Records, Historical Records of Generations and Historical Records of Five Emperors list Huangdi, Zhuan Xu, Di Ku, Tang Yao and Yu Shun as five emperors. In The Book of Rites, Emperor Yitai (Fuxi), Yan Di (Shennong), Huangdi, Shaodi and Zhuan Xu are the five emperors; Shao Wu (You), Zhuan Xu, (Di Ku) and Yu Shun are listed as the five emperors in The Preface to Shangshu and Century of Emperors. In addition, there is a myth that the five gods are collectively called the five emperors. The "Five Emperors" in Wang Yi's Notes on Chu Ci in the Eastern Han Dynasty are five gods, namely Taiji in the East, Yan Di in the South, Shao Hao in the West, Zhuan Xu in the North and the Yellow Emperor in the Central. In the Tang Dynasty, Jia Zaitianguan's "Sacrifice to Five Emperors" was the forerunner of the hub in the east, the south, the yellow emperor in the middle, the white emperor in the west and the north.
There are several different combinations. To sum up, there are some sayings:
Huang San
(1) Sui people, Fuxi, Shennong (Biography of Shangshu);
(2) Fuxi, Nuwa and Shennong (Custom Yi Tong);
(3) Fuxi, Zhu Rong and Shennong (ditto);
(4) Fuxi, Shennong and Huangdi (ancient micro-books).
Five legendary rulers
① Huangdi, Zhuan Xu, Yao and Shun ("Dai");
(2) Dongxi, Shennong, Huangdi, Yaoshun (Warring States Policy);
(3) Tai Hao, Yan Di, Huangdi, Shao Hao and Zhuan Xu (Lv Chunqiu);
(4) Fuxi, Shennong and Huangdi are Huang San, and Shao Hao, Zhuan Xu, Di Ku and Yaoshun are five emperors (Pseudo-preface to Shangshu);
This theory will be adopted by history books in the future because of its respect for the status of Confucian classics. So this theory of three emperors and five emperors was regarded as the history of ancient beliefs;
(4) Huangdi, Zhuan Xu, Qi, Yao (The History of Capital Construction).
In fact, the differences in the legends of Three Emperors and Five Emperors are the product of the multi-ethnic development in China, which reflects the progressive trend of ethnic integration in a tortuous way. Long before entering the civilized era, the Chinese nation, Miao nationality and many other brotherly nations called barbarians, barbarians, Rong and Di were formed on the vast land of the motherland. It is said that the Huaxia nationality is after Huang and Yan, which actually reflects that the Huaxia nationality is formed by the long-term development of two blood clans represented by Huang Di and He.
Generally speaking, the man referred to in Huang San's theory is the symbol of China ancestors in different prehistoric cultural stages. There are three stages in the period of ignorance: low stage, intermediate stage and advanced stage. Shennong represents the lower stage of barbarism; On the other hand, Nu Wa is an earlier creator. In mythology, she and Fuxi combined to create human beings. The people referred to in the Five Emperors Theory are mainly some tribal chiefs or military leaders in the heyday of patriarchal clan alliance and its disintegration or the military democratic period at the end of primitive society.
Most people think that Sui Ren, Fu and Shennong are called "Huang San", while Huangdi, Zhuan Xu, Di Ku, Yao Di and Shun Di are called "Five Emperors". These views originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
Specific introduction
Pan Gu
Is the protagonist of the well-known story of Pangu's creation of the world. It is said that Pangu opened the world with an axe. This story spread to the Northern Wei Dynasty and then to the North via Li Daoyuan. Since then, Pangu has evolved from a myth spread among southern ethnic minorities into the legendary ancestor of the Chinese nation.
Guangwu Bozhi (Jiuxing) Five-year Games Chronology
Yesterday's death of Pangu was also the first of the four mountains, the eye of the sun and the moon, the fat of the river and the sea, and the hair of the grass. According to the custom between Qin and Han dynasties, Pangu's head is Dongyue, the abdomen is Zhongyue, the left arm is Nanyue, and the right arm is Beiyue, and Xiyue is enough. The ancients said: Pangu's tears are rivers, qi is wind, and his eyes are electricity. The ancients said: Pangu is happy for the purpose, and anger is yin. Wu Chu said: Pangu couple, the beginning of Yin and Yang. Today, there is a 300-mile-long ancient tomb in the South China Sea, and the soul of Pangu is also buried by later generations. Guilin has Pangu Temple worshipped by modern people, and the South China Sea has Pangu Kingdom. Today, people take Pangu as their surname. Pangu, the ancestor of all things, creatures began in Pangu.
After Pangu, the ancestor of the Chinese nation, became immortal, his body organs were transformed into the sun, moon and stars, the four poles and five mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, and all living things. Although this legend contains mythical elements, it provides reference materials for us to study the Sun God and Moon God in China. According to the calendar of the May Movement Calendar, the sun, moon and Er Shen of the Chinese nation are transformed by Pangu's eyes, and the sun god is transformed by Pangu's left eye. The moon god was incarnated by Pangu's right eye, and the folk custom of "male left and female right" came from this.
Youchao family
The legend of Youchao family has been recorded in ancient books in pre-Qin period. He is the legendary inventor of nesting. This legend reflects China's entry from cave to nest in primitive times.
The hero who invented nesting in ancient China mythology. Also known as "big nest". At first, people lived in caves and were invaded by wild animals. The Chao family built wooden nests to avoid wild animals. Since then, people have moved from caves to nests. Zhuangzi stole the foot and said, "In ancient times, there were many beasts but few, so people lived in nests to avoid them. It is said that there are people of Chao's family. " "Taiping Yulan" volume 78 quoted "Beginners of Xiang Jun": "There is a nest of saints in the ancient cave, which is famous for its great dynasty." Zhang Hua's Natural History in Jin Dynasty. Essay: "In the past, there was a Chao family, and it was expensive to have a minister, which was taken by the country. I am angry and change, and I have a nest of death. "
There is a character in the myth and legend of Chao family, who is the imaginary ancestor of Han people and the inventor of primitive nesting. According to legend, in ancient Hao Ying, there were fewer people and more animals here. In order to resist wild animals, the Chao family taught people to take trees as their nests, pick oak chestnuts during the day and stay in trees at night. Zhuangzi said: "In ancient times, there were many beasts, so people lived in nests to avoid them." That is, the era of the Chao family. Because the name of Juchao is related to the invention of Youchao, it is considered as a Chaohu person. Like Suirenshi, Fu and Shennong, it originated from later generations, but it also shows the glorious historical process that Han ancestors adhered to struggle for existence.
The legend of Youchao family has been recorded in ancient books in pre-Qin period. Zhuang Zhou said: "In ancient times, there were many animals, so people lived in nests to escape. They pick chestnuts during the day and live in trees at dusk, so they are called the people of the nest family. " Han Fei said: "In ancient times, there were fewer people and more animals, and the people were invincible to animals, insects and snakes. There are saints who make it a nest to avoid group harm, and the people are pleased with it, making it the king of the world. posthumous title' has a nest family'. " (Han Feizi. It is said that the Youchao family invented nesting in ancient times. This legend reflects China's entry from cave to nest in primitive times. "Dunjia Mountain Map" said: "Shilou Mountain is in Langya, and the Chao family once ruled this Shan Zhinan." ("Yiwen Collection" Volume 11 cited) Langya Mountain is located in Zhucheng County, Shandong Province, where the Chao family is not credible. Xiang Jun's "Compilation of Beginners" said: "In ancient times, there were saints who went out of their nests to teach. There are nests in the south, holes in the north and ancient relics. " ("Taiping Magnolia" volume 78 cited) that nesting began in the south. "Lin Yiji" also said: "When Cangwu goes to the south, there are literary savages, who live without houses, live in trees, eat raw meat, collect incense as a business, and trade with people. If they are the people of the court." ("Taiping YuLan" volume 172 cited) Zhou Qufei said; "Deep and wide people live in the gate, build a hut and herd cattle. The reason for this is that there are many tigers and wolves in this land. It is better to say that people and animals are unsafe, but the meaning of ancient nesting! " All these indicate that nesting may have originated in the south.
Nu Wa's Family
The name of Nu Wa comes from Qu Yuan's Tian Wen: "Nu Wa has a body, who made it?" It means: Who made Nu Wa's body? It is said that Nu Wa created human beings by "refining five-color stones to make up the sky", which is a reflection of matriarchal social myths. It is said that before this, the sky fell and disasters continued. After she got off work, everything was in order. She has also become the legendary god of cleaning up the heavens and the earth. This story reflects the hard struggle between ancient humans and nature.
In order to beautify the spiritual life of human beings, Nu Wa also invented a kind of sheng-Lusheng musical instrument, which can play wind whistling, insects singing and streams singing. Love words between men and women and soul love songs can also be vividly expressed, so there is an infinite peaceful atmosphere between people, especially between men and women, and many happy relationships are stirred up by beautiful musical melodies.
Later, Fu died, Nu Wa became a family and had no children. As she grew older, she lived in seclusion in a beautiful place, which is now the Nuwa Valley in Lantian County, Shaanxi Province. Later, I learned that a Kang Hui had been here, and this special water was harmful to people. Nu Wa's boss couldn't stand it, so he came out to beat Kang Hui again.
Kang Hui is a strange man who appeared in Jizhou. He was born with a bronze head, red hair and a snake-like body. He is a demon king who came from heaven to fight the people. The history books are also called * * * Gong. People in his country are very familiar with water and always attack with water when fighting with others. Nu Wa made some investigations in Kang Hui with her 70 kinds of changes. After coming back, she asked many people to prepare 20,000 stones of different sizes, which were divided into five kinds, each marked with blue, yellow, red, black and white. He also ordered to prepare 100 long and short logs and 20 longest logs. On each log, Nu Wa personally carved it into the shape of an anchovy. We also asked the people to prepare another 500,000 loads of reeds for one month. We also selected 1000 able-bodied people, designated a high mountain, and told them to run up and down twice a day, as soon as possible. We also selected 2000 smart people and told them to swim in the water four times a day, so that they could stay underwater for half a day. Nu Wa taught them a secret with divine power, which made 2,000 people rejoice and practice seriously. Nu Wa's family took some earth and kneaded it into human figures of all sizes, several thousand at a time.
As soon as the preparatory work was finished, Kang Hui led the troops to attack, so he did it again. The flood opened the road. Nu Wa's wife asked people to divide 500,000 loads of reeds into two parts, set fire to them and turn them into ashes. She also asked people to dig out the soil and mix it with grass ash. Everyone takes a load and puts it where there is water. Nu Wa's wife showed her magical powers in the back, only to see that all the water that Kang reinjected was poured in. When Kang Hui was defeated for the first time, he led his men to kill him directly. His subordinates are fierce, but this time they have suffered losses and become more arrogant. At this time, thousands of clay figurines made by Nu Wa's family have grown up, the big one is five feet high and the small one is three feet high, armed with weapons and facing the enemy. When did the ministries in Kang Hui see this kind of war, they panicked and lost money? Nu Wa immediately ordered the 1,000 people who practiced swimming: "Kang Hui must choose a dangerous place to guard this retreat. He had to hide in Zenei and his hometown, Zhao Yu Daze, where he built a levee to prevent him from being flooded. As soon as you meet a lake with a levee, use the wood I prepared for you and hit the ground around the lake with four long sticks. I'm also the best, and I'm good at carrying loads. I have gone to the sea to discuss with Poseidon and temporarily borrowed four legs of several turtle fish, so the wood is engraved with not only the shape of the turtle fish, but also its spirit. " Hearing this, these people went happily. Nu Wa's family brought two thousand mountain runners, as well as restored clay dolls, stones and other things, running all the way. On the mainland, Ze and osawa completely defeated Kang Hui. When Kang Hui escaped, he met those two thousand people. They practiced long-distance running, but they were captured alive. The Ministry arrested Kang Hui and dedicated it to Nu Wa's family. Nu Wa's family described his crime in detail, ordered beheading, clicked a knife, and no blood came out, but a black gas rose into the air. It turned out that Kang Hui also had some magical powers, and turned into a black dragon and escaped. Finally, in Buzhoushan, there was another battle with the Rongrui family under Nuwa. Kang Hui failed and died without touching his head.
So the following historical events recorded in the history books appeared: * * Gong () couldn't touch the surrounding mountains, and the surrounding mountains didn't collapse, so the four poles were abandoned, Kyushu was split, Tianzhu was broken, and the land was scarce. Nu Wa worked hard, and the five-color stone refined the sky, so the land was peaceful and natural, and everything remained the same.
Suirenshi
Sui Renshi is a legendary inventor, which has been recorded in ancient books before Qin Dynasty. Sui people, Shangqiu area was a mountain forest in ancient times. Suiren, who lives in the mountains, often preys on wild animals. When rocks that hit wild animals collide with rocks, sparks often occur. Inspired by this, Suiren hit a stone with a stone, lit the tinder with the generated sparks, and made a fire. This fire-making method was still used in Shangqiu countryside thirty years ago. At that time, a saint was inspired by the sparks generated by birds pecking at wood, so he broke off the branches of wood and drilled wood to make a fire. He taught people this method. Since then, human beings have learned to make artificial fire, bake food, light it, keep warm, and smell it with fire, and human life has entered a new stage. People call this saint the Suiren surname, and call him "the head of Huang San".
Fu Xishi
Fu, also known as Bao and Dong. It is said that he is a great inventor and has made great contributions to the people. "Bao family gossip, understand the virtues of the gods, the feelings of all things." He also invented "tethered net fishing" to benefit the people. These are two great inventions. Of course, the emergence of this new thing in society is the result of people's collective labor, not the gift of a "saint". But this legend tells us that Fuxi clan began to use notation and learned how to weave nets and fish. Xihe River is also called Taihao Fuxi. It is said that Hua Xushi stepped on Thor's footprints and gave birth to a son. He can "go up and down" along the building timber as a ladder, which was born and raised in the wild in Du Guang.
Fuxi has many inventions, and Fu is one of the earliest wise men in the history of China literature. Fu has a keen observation of things and a deep affection for the land. At the same time, he has superhuman wisdom. Fu Xishi described everything he observed with a mathematical symbol (this binary mathematical model has become the cornerstone of the development of computer technology today), which is gossip. It is mainly said that he sat on a square altar, listened to the music of the wind from all directions, and drew eight kinds of hanging hexagrams, namely □ (dry) ,□ (Kun) ,□ (earthquake) ,□ (ridge) ,□ (separation) ,□ (root) and□ (communication), which are called "eight diagrams". He also imitated spiders to weave webs and make fishing nets. According to this principle, his courtier Ju Mang became a bird catcher. Fuxi also made a harp, which created the joy of driving and arguing. The dawn of ancient civilization began to appear in the legendary Fuxi era. In ancient times, in the east of Jin Meng, there was a river connected with the Yellow River, from which Longma drew negative films. According to the Dragon-Horse Diagram, Fu drew a divinatory diagram with the contents of Gan, Jiao, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen and Kun, which was later called Fuxi Bagua. Fu looked up at the images in the sky, looked down at the dharma on the ground, and explained the evolution law and human relations order of everything in heaven and earth with Yin and Yang gossip. Fu concluded a book contract, got married properly and taught fishing and hunting, which ended people's ignorant history and created Chinese civilization. Malong Futu Temple became the "source of river map", while Fu was regarded as the "ancestor of human roots" and "ancestor of humanity" of the Chinese nation. The biography of Han Kong Anguo said: "The dragon horse is the essence of heaven and earth, and its shape is also good, and its body is Longlin, so it is called the dragon horse. The dragon and horse are red and green, and they are eight feet and five inches high. It has wings like a camel, and the sage is in the throne. The negative picture comes from central Meng He. "
Fuxi later became the emperor of the East, and his courtier Ju Mang became his god. Ju Mang is in the shape of a bird and a human face, driving two dragons. He runs oriental green soil trees in two places in Yuanye, and is the God of Spring.
Shennong
Shennong is the legendary Emperor Yan. Emperor Yan is the sun god of China, and it is said that he is also the god of agriculture, teaching people to farm, and also the god of medicine. According to legend, Shennong tasted a hundred herbs and made medicine. Legend has it that Shennong died of poisonous herbs he tried. He is the legendary land god in charge of crops. Probably refers to the clan name of the primitive society where agriculture began to develop. According to records, people used to eat raw meat, drink animal blood and wear animal skins. Shennong believes that it is difficult for people to live like this. So he "tasted the essence of a hundred herbs, observed their sufferings, and taught the people to eat grains." In fact, agricultural production knowledge is the accumulation of ancient human practical experience. Shennong does not exist. Later, it was speculated that Shennong's deeds roughly reflected the social situation during the prosperous period of matriarchal clan system.
According to the ancient book Huainanzi in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, "Shennong tasted a hundred herbs and encountered seventy poisons a day". There is also a touching myth and legend in Sichuan. It is said that Shennong tried all kinds of herbs to treat people. One day, he tasted a highly toxic Herba Lysimachiae, and finally his intestines were broken, giving his life for the people. Shennong also teaches people to trade and exchange: "Shennong takes Japan and China as the city, takes the people of the world and collects the wealth of the world. After the transaction, he will retreat and make progress, and each has his own place." These legends are that his ancestor Yan Di was deified by later generations, which shows that he, like the Yellow Emperor, is the ancestor of Chinese civilization.
Yellow Emperor
The Yellow Emperor is the legendary ancestor of the Chinese nation. The surname is Gongsun, who lives in the hill of Xuanyuan, hence the name Xuanyuan. There are bears in China, also known as the Xiong family.
The yellow emperor is flexible and eloquent, and his moral sentiment is noble. He is regarded as the leader of nomadic tribes in northwest China. He formed an alliance with Emperor Yan, defeated the invasion of Jiuli nationality led by Chiyou, and became the leader of the tribal alliance on behalf of Shennong, becoming the "Yellow Emperor". Legend has it that after defeating Chiyou, there were three wars with Yan Di tribe in Hanquan. The Yellow Emperor commanded clans with beasts such as bears, scorpions, raccoons and tigers as totems to participate in the war, defeated Yan Di tribes and entered the Yellow River valley. Since then, the Huangdi tribe has settled in the Central Plains and developed rapidly. According to the historical records, "Twenty-five descendants of the Yellow Emperor, 14 of them have surnames, which are twelve surnames", indicating that these tribes have formed a huge tribal alliance.
It is for this reason that many inventions are attributed to the Yellow Emperor by later generations, saying that he used jade as a weapon, built boats and bows, and dyed colorful clothes. He asked his wife Leizu to teach people to raise silkworms. He ordered Cang Xie, the minister, to make great efforts to make words, and ordered Ling Lun to make musical instruments. These legends are unreliable and can only be understood as great progress in the production tools of the Yellow Emperor era.
Yao, Shun, Xia, Shang and Zhou in history are all descendants of the Yellow Emperor, so they are called "descendants of Xuanyuan" and "descendants of the Yellow Emperor". The descendants of the Yellow Emperor merged with other tribes to form the Chinese nation, and Xuanyuan of the Yellow Emperor was regarded as the ancestor of the Chinese nation.
Yan Di
Yan Di, surnamed Jiang. According to legend, he is a bull's head, probably a clan leader with a totem of cattle. This clan was active in the Weihe River basin at first, and then entered the middle reaches of the Yellow River, which had a long-term conflict with the Jiuli nationality. The leader of the Jiuli nationality is Chiyou, a beast with a human voice, with a bronze head, an iron neck, horns on his head, hair on his ears as hard as a halberd, and he can eat sand and stones, which may be a clan with some kind of beast as its totem. He has eighty-one brothers, that is, eighty-one clans, and he is a powerful clan tribe that is brave and good at fighting. Chiyou expelled Emperor Yan to Zhuolu (now the Sanggan River basin in northwest Hebei). Emperor Yan asked the Yellow Emperor for help, and the two sides fought fiercely in Zhuolu. Chiyou invited the Rain God from Fengbo to make trouble, which created a fog and made the soldiers of the Yellow Emperor lose their way. The Yellow Emperor invited Nu Wa, the god of drought, to clear up and built a "south guide car" to tell the direction. The result of this fierce battle was that Chiyou failed and was killed. The Yellow Emperor won the victory and was elected as the "son of heaven".
zhuanxu
Zhuan Xu, surnamed Ji, named Levin, lives in Puyang County, Henan Province, and is said to be a descendant of Changyi, the son of the Yellow Emperor. At the age of twenty, the Yellow Emperor passed on the throne to him. According to an ancient book, "the Levin family has eight gifted scholars", which may be eight clans.
After the political reform, Zhuan Xu carried out an important religious reform. When they arrived in Zhuan Xu, the Jiuli people conquered by the Yellow Emperor still believed in witchcraft and worshipped ghosts and gods. Zhuan Xu banned witchcraft and forced them to obey the education of Huangdi clan, which promoted the integration between clans. Later, a tribal leader Gong Gong was very dissatisfied with Zhuan Xu. Legend has it that he hit Buzhoushan with his head angrily. Suddenly, the pillar supporting the sky tilted and the rope binding the earth broke. So the sky tilted to the northwest, and the sun, the moon and the stars moved; The land is in the southeast depression, and the river flows eastward. Zhuan Xu reigned for 78 years and died in his 90s. There are many descendants of Zhuan Xu, and Qu Yuan is the descendant of Zhuan Xu.
Di Ku
Last name is Ji, first name, great-grandson of Huangdi. My father's name is Ji Jiao and Zhuan Xu is his cousin. When Di Ku was in power, he had a lot of talents and managed the country well. Di Ku ruled for more than 70 years. According to legend, Di Ku was born in a poor mulberry (a branch of the West Sea), and his mother was born in the footsteps of a giant. Di Ku is very clever and eager to learn. At the age of twelve or thirteen, he became famous. /kloc-assisted Zhuan Xu at the age of 0/5, sealed a place called Xin (now Shangqiu, Henan Province), lived in Diqiu (now Puyang), acceded to the throne at the age of 30, moved the capital to Milli City (now southwest of Yanshi County, Henan Province), and enjoyed a hundred years of life. After his death, he was buried in Yinye Qiushan, south of Dunqiu, Puyang.
Diyao
Yao Di, surnamed Yin Qi,no. Fang Xun. Because he was sealed in the Tang Dynasty, he was called "Tang Yao". Because of his high respect, people fell in love with Emperor Yao. He is serious and respectful, radiant, clear from top to bottom, can unite people's hearts and make all ethnic groups unite as one and live in harmony. Yao is simple, eating coarse rice and drinking wild vegetable soup. Nature is loved by the people.
In Yao's later years, on April 12th, Mu recommended the successor of the military leader of the tribal alliance, and everyone unanimously recommended Shun. Emperor Yao married his two daughters to Shun, made a long-term investigation on him, and finally gave up safely.
Dishun
Yao was named Zhong Hua because of his legendary eyes and double pupils, and Yu Shun because of his surname Yu. Shun's father has a brother named Xiang. Due to the recommendation in April, Yao ordered him to take over his leadership position and married his two daughters. The main deeds of Shun recorded in Yao Dian are: ordering Hou Ji to plant hundreds of grains on time; Digging ditches for irrigation; Dredge rivers and control floods; Declare five punishments and destroy the four murderous families. Shun knows that people are good at choosing capable people. For example, Shun appointed many official positions: he appointed Yu as an agent in charge of water and soil; Abandoned as Hou Ji, in charge of agriculture; Life contract to Stuart, in charge of the five major religions; Hao Tao was ordered to administer five punishments and so on. When Shun was the leader of the League, he did all the work well, creating a harmonious situation in ancient times, so Shun became the most powerful ally of the Central Plains. As "Historical Records" said: "Virtue in the world begins with Yu". In fact, when Shun was in power, the prototype of the state machine had already existed. Zen is located after death.
According to historical records, Emperor Yaoren is like a sky, knowing like a god, like the sun, and looks like a cloud. Approaching him is like the sun, and seeing him from a distance is like a cloud. Rich without arrogance, expensive without arrogance. Yellow hat, black clothes, red car and white horse. "Being able to be virtuous, being close to nine families". He ordered his family and He family to push the calendar, set the age at four, and give farming time to the people. The vernal equinox, summer solstice, autumn equinox and winter solstice are determined.
When Yao was in power, the world was flooded with soup and water was treated with guns. After nine years of failure, Yu was enabled to control water. Yao set up the drum of advice and let everyone in the world do their best; Build a tree of slander and let people all over the world attack his mistakes. He ruled the world for fifty years and asked if there was anyone in the world. Do people love themselves or not? I don't know about it, but I don't know about it. So he visited the people incognito, and an old man knocked on the ground with food in his mouth, singing, "It doesn't matter to me to work at sunrise, rest in the day, dig wells and drink, plow the fields and eat." This ancient poem is called "Song of Breaking the Earth".
Emperor Yao initiated the abdication of the emperor. After 70 years in office, he thought his son Dani was not a tool and decided to choose talents from the people. Yao asked the leaders of Wang Zizhong, "Who can shoulder the heavy responsibility of the emperor?" The leader of the four princes said, "There is a bachelor among the people. Called Yu Shun. " So Yao traveled incognito and came to Lishan area. When he heard that Shun was plowing in the field, he went to the field. I saw a young man, tall, broad and sensitive, devoted to farming, driving a black cow and a yellow cow in front of the plow. Strangely, the young man never whipped the cow, but hung a dustpan on the plow shaft, knocked it every once in a while and shouted. When Yao and others arrived in the field, they asked, "The tiller whips the ox. Why just knock on the dustpan and not hit the cow? " When Shun saw an old man asking, he surrendered and replied, "It's very hard for cows to plow the fields. Why should they be whipped?" When I hit the dustpan, the black cow thought I hit the yellow cow, and the yellow cow thought I hit the black cow, so they all pulled the plow hard. Hearing this, Yao felt that the young man was smart and kind, and he was more concerned about cattle and people. Yao and Shun started a topic in the field and talked about some problems of governing the world. Shun speaks truth and understands the righteousness, which is not the view of ordinary people. Yao went to Baili again and praised Shun as a virtuous man. Yao decided to let Shun have a try. Yao married his two daughters and Shun respectively, so that both daughters could see their virtues. Arrange nine people around Shun and let nine people observe his behavior. Putting Shun in the mountains, he tamed all tigers, leopards and poisonous snakes. Shun is clear-headed, clear-headed, not lost in the mountains, and will soon come out. Yao first asked Shun to be an official in North Korea. After three years of trial, he asked Shun to worship Yao's ancestors in Yao's Confucius Temple, and Yao asked Shun to be the emperor.
Teti
Taiyi, also known as Tai Hao, is named Feng. According to legend, he is a human-headed snake or a human-headed dragon. He may be a clan leader who takes snakes or dragons as totems and lives in Chen Di (now Huaiyang County, Henan Province). He should be the imaginary ancestor of clan tribes in Huaihe River Basin.
Shaoluo
Shao Lian, also known as Ji, Ming Zhi, and a poor third brother, is said to be a descendant of the Yellow Emperor and lives in Qufu, Shandong. This tribe takes birds as totems, and there are 24 species: Wind Birds, Xuanwu and Kate. This may be a big tribe composed of twenty-four clans. Shaoluo nationality is a branch of Huangdi nationality developing eastward.
