Yao-One of the Five Emperors

Yao, the ancient emperor of China, was one of the five emperors. His name is Yao and he is posthumous title. In the Sacrifice Law, it is said that Yi Shan preached that the sage said Yao. Yao was born, grew up in the country, lived in his mother's house, and later moved to Qi, so he was called Yao's surname and Yao took Qi as his surname.

Yao's father is, his name is Ji, and his number is Yes. After 70 years in office, Di Ku died and passed it on to his son Zhi. At the age of thirteen, Yao Fuzhi was sealed in. At the age of fifteen, he was sealed in Tang Di, so Yao's nickname was. At the age of eighteen, Yao was the son of heaven, and they were all in Puban. According to Tongdian, Yao was in Pu. According to Zhu, Leitou is also called Yaoshan, and there is an ancient city on the mountain, also called Yaocheng. According to "Thirteen States of Kan", Puban and Du Yao. Emperor Gaiyao was also here, and later moved to Pingyang. "Historical Records" said: 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. Only by understanding and restraining morality can we kiss 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 these people incognito. An old man knocked on the ground with food in his mouth, singing, "Work at sunrise, rest at sunset, drink while digging a well, and eat while plowing the ground." What is Dili to me? " . 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 leader of the four princes: Who can shoulder the heavy responsibility of the emperor? The leader of the four princes said: there is a bachelor among the people. His name is 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 at the farm, they asked: Why only knock on the dustpan, but not the cows? When I saw an old man asking, I handed him a hand and replied, It's hard for a cow to work hard for people, and it's hard to get whipped again! 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.

Yao has been in office for seventy years, and he will be old after twenty years. Shun replaced Yao's power, and Yao gave in and died 28 years later.

Yao, Shi, Shi, left intact in Tao, and later moved to Tang, so they are also known as a legend in China and one of the five emperors. Legend has it that he was born in the south of San 'a, and he is one of the heavenly officials and three officials in Taoism. Birthday is Shangyuan Festival.

"Historical Records of Five Emperors" records two sons-Zhihe; After his death, his eldest son inherited the throne. Yao is diligent and capable. At the age of thirteen, he was ordered to assist Emperor Zhi. The wise emperor is mediocre in talent and poor in governing the country. Yao is kind and loves the people, knows how to examine people, manages well and is famous all over the world. As a result, tribal leaders betrayed Emperor Zhi and turned to Yao. The wise emperor was not as good as Yao Yingming, and finally succeeded to the throne for nine years, giving the throne to Yao.

According to legend, Yao was twenty-one years old when he ascended the throne, with his capital in Tangxian County and Hod as emperor, so he was called. He is kind, very smart and young. When he is the master of the world, he will not be arrogant. He is too busy with politics to have a rest. Simple etiquette, frugal life, never wasting a penny of the people. For example, he only eats coarse rice and light soup in pottery baskets, hoping to be full.

In order to rule the world, Yao made a law prohibiting fraud. He set up an exhortation drum so that ordinary people could express their opinions on state affairs. He set up slanders to encourage people to criticize their mistakes. He said: if a person is hungry, I will be hungry for him; If a person is cold, I have frozen him; If a person is found guilty, I hurt him. Yao cares about the people in every way, is frivolous and generous, and the people support him very much. He also strongly advocated morality and harmony, so that people all over the world can live in harmony and all countries in the world can live in harmony.

Emperor Yao appointed He to be in charge of astronomy, draw up calendars and teach people farming time. Xi Zhong, Xi Shu, He Zhong and He Shu were assigned to live in four places, and were responsible for observing all living things in the sun, moon and stars to report climate change, so that people could sow and harvest in time.

When Emperor Yao was old, floods appeared everywhere, which affected people's lives. He asked who could cure the floods in April. Siyue said, guns can. Emperor Yao said: Gun violated the canon and corrupted the clan. No April said: Different people have different opinions! Let him try, and then he won't succeed. Emperor Yao listened to Sishan's advice and let Gun control the water. It took Gun nine years, but it never succeeded.

Emperor Yao and April discussed the issue of heirs. Emperor Yao said: In April, I have been in office for seventy years. Which one of you can inherit the fate and the throne? The four mountains replied with one voice: we are humble and immoral, and we cannot disgrace the sacred throne. Emperor Yao said, then, recommend your loved ones and those who hide the virtues and talents of the people! Everyone unanimously recommended a folk widower named Yu Shun. Emperor Yao said, Oh, I've heard of it. What's this man like? April said: He is the son of a blind man. Father is stubborn, mother is presumptuous, and brother is arrogant, but he can make his family harmonious and avoid trouble with filial piety. Emperor Yao said: Then let him try! Therefore, Emperor Yao married his two daughters, E Huang and Nv Ying, to observe his virtue. Shun told his second aunt to go back to Gui's house to serve her in-laws and do her duty as a woman. Emperor Yao was very satisfied and asked his nine sons to follow Shun and observe his ability to deal with social affairs. Emperor Yao sent Shun to coordinate five kinds of human relations among the people: father's righteousness, mother's kindness, brother and friend, brother's respect and son's filial piety, and made some achievements. Even the nine sons of Emperor Yao were educated and became more sincere and respectful. Emperor Yao also sent Shun to take turns to serve in several government offices. Shun fulfilled his duties and formulated a system to put every government official's administration on a formal stage. Emperor Yao also sent Shun to meet tribal leaders and envoys who appeared before the Quartet. Shun is rigorous and harmonious, and does things appropriately. Envoys all admire China and North Korea. Emperor Yao sent Shun to the mountains and rivers, but Shun didn't get lost in the storm. Yao thinks that if power is passed on to Shun, everyone in the world will benefit, but it is not conducive; If power is transferred to Dani, it will benefit Dani, not the world. He thought: I can't let everyone suffer, only one person will benefit! So he called Shun and said, "You have planned things very carefully, and your comments and opinions have had practical results. After three years of trial, you will ascend to the throne! "! Shun pretended to refuse and said, I am not virtuous enough, and I always feel that I can't afford a big job. Finally, Shun accepted Yao's demise and boarded * * *.

It is also recorded in some ancient books that Emperor Yao was instigated by Shun and thought that his son could not give him the world. Shun made people recommend themselves in front of Yao, which made Yao feel that Shun was very wise. Finally, Yao decided to hand over power to Shun.

In addition, Yao tried to give up the world, but he didn't accept it. Yao wants to give the world to Zizhou's adoptive father, but Zizhou's adoptive father doesn't accept it.

After Yao abdicated, he continued to pay attention to state affairs, often traveled around the world and did many things that benefited the country and the people. Twenty-eight years later, Yao died at the age of 118 and was buried in Chengyang. When people heard the news of Yao's death, they were all very sad, such as losing their parents. In the following three years, people automatically stopped all kinds of entertainment activities to express their grief for Yao. At the end of the three-year mourning period, Shun offered to give way to Danzhu and take refuge in the wilderness south of Nanhe River. People disobeyed orders, worshiped Shun in succession, and are still praising Shun's virtue. Shun said: this is providence! So he returned to the capital, once again * * * the Lord.

Empress, from Yi San family, is the mother of Dan Zhu in Shi Ben. Shiben: Yao married the son of the Holy Son and was called the Queen. Zhong Song: The Queen gave birth to Dani. Dibu and Hanshu are the same.

Nv Ying, according to Imperial Century, is the mother of Danzhu. Imperial century: female heroes. Hanshu is also full of beautiful women.

Son, daughter of Yao, married Shun.

Yao's daughter married Shun.

Yao loved him since childhood, but he was regarded as a black sheep because of his strong personality and lack of political wisdom.

There are nine sons whose names are unknown.

According to the Chronicle of Bamboo Slips, Shun exiled Yao to Pingyang and imprisoned him. He first made Dan Zhu emperor and then seized the throne.

In ancient times, Shun coerced Yao and his son to abdicate, which is not only an isolated evidence of bamboo annals, but also a similar statement by Xunzi and Han Feizi in the Warring States Period. Xun Zi Lun: The husband said that Yao Shun abdicated, which was an empty talk, a shallow biography and a humble speech. And "everything is done by Han Fei-zi": Shun forced Yao, Yu forced Shun, Jie, and attacked Zhou. These four men, men and ministers all killed their monarch. ; At about the same time, Shan Hai Jing and Haixi Jing even called Dan Zhu the emperor, indirectly denying Yao's view that he was directly in the position of Shun Zen. Therefore, the later "Words in Jizhong" questioned the bamboo book based on its chronology: Shun is in the sun, but there is a city somewhere in the book cloud, and the number of prisoners is known. Based on different theories, it is quite suspicious of Zen. From a realistic point of view, even if Yao thinks he is a bad boy and has personal ideas to let the country go, he still has to face the opposition of the whole family interest group, because in the case of limited space resources, this move will involve a sharp redistribution of rights and resources, which will inevitably lead to disputes between the old and new groups. Therefore, even if Shun was Zen, there was a record that Sanmiao refused to accept it, so Shun launched a war to solve it. In any case, with the development of respecting Confucianism and a single historical view after the Western Han Dynasty, the theory that Shun forced Yao gradually disappeared and was not taken seriously.

According to legend, on the 10th day after Yao was killed, Xia people took revenge with Liu and You Yujia, and destroyed Ge, Ge, Ge and Ge, and the city was in ruins.

Taoism believes that the Tianguan emperor is Yao, and it is called the Sanguan emperor together with the local official emperor and the water official emperor.
