The Yellow Emperor, the son of Shaodian monarch and posthumous title Bear, was honored as "the ancestor of mankind" and "the head of five emperors". The Yellow Emperor was originally named Gongsun. Because he was born in Shouqiu (now near Qufu, Shandong Province), he grew up in Jishui and lived in the hill of Xuanyuan, so he changed his surname to Ji and was named Xuanyuan.
In the era when the Yellow Emperor lived, Shennong (Yandi) had declined and could not control the local tribal leaders, so tribes conquered each other and the people were in trouble. At this time, the Yellow Emperor and Yan Di launched a war, and the Yellow Emperor gained the upper hand and gained the ultimate sovereignty. However, Yan Di's former subordinate Chiyou was unwilling to obey the Yellow Emperor and launched a war to challenge the authority of the Yellow Emperor.
Chiyou has eighty-one brothers, who have animal bodies but can speak human words, and they are all copper-toed and steel-toed. They feed on sand and stones and are brave and good at fighting.
Because Chiyou invaded many times, Huangdi decided to integrate internal resources to fight Chiyou.
The battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou, losing more than winning less, is urgent. One day, the Yellow Emperor spent nine days in his sleep, and Xuan Nv gave him a military symbol, which recorded the method of defeating Chiyou. So the Yellow Emperor reorganized the army, fought against Chiyou and killed Chiyou for nine days by the method taught by Xuan Nv.
After the world was settled, the Yellow Emperor developed agriculture and sowed hundreds of seeds. At the same time, he also taught people to dress and tame animals, and used fire and water to make people live and work in peace and contentment.
Therefore, the Yellow Emperor is called "the virtue of soil", and because the soil is yellow, it is called "the Yellow Emperor" in history.
Zhuan Xu is the grandson of the Yellow Emperor.
When the Yellow Emperor lived in Xuanyuan Mountain, he married Lei Zu, the daughter of Xiling (a country). Lei Zu, the wife and princess of the Yellow Emperor, gave birth to two sons. One is Xu Anqi, also known as Qingyang, who lives in Jiang Shui. The other son, Chang Yi, lives in Ruoshui. Changyi married the daughter of Shushan family and gave birth to Levin, namely Zhuan Xu.
After Zhuan Xu acceded to the throne, he made great efforts to govern and actively carried out social reforms. At that time, witchcraft prevailed in society and ghosts and gods were worshipped. Everything is solved by divination. After learning this situation, Zhuan Xu took the lead in setting an example, turning witchcraft into sacrifice, persuading people to follow the laws of nature for agricultural production and encouraging people to reclaim wasteland. Slowly, under the leadership of Zhuan Xu, the society returned to normal order.
Di Ku, named Gao Xin, is the great-grandson of the Yellow Emperor. Gao Xin's father is Qiaoji, and Qiaoji's father is Xu Anqi, the eldest son of Huangdi and Lei Zu. In short, this relationship is Huangdi-Xu Anqi-Qiaoji-Gaoxin. According to the eldest son inheritance system, Gao Xin is more qualified to inherit the throne than Zhuan Xu.
Gao Xin was born blessed by the gods and loved by people like Zhuan Xu. The country is in good weather, living and working in peace and contentment, and his status has been recognized by the sun, the moon and the stars.
Di Ku's son Tang Yao's name is Fang Xun. In fact, before Fang Xun, there was an emperor-Di Zhi.
According to the records of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Di Ku had four concubines, namely:
Although Zhi's mother is the youngest of the four concubines, Zhi herself is the oldest of the brothers. After Zhi ascended the throne, he named his brother Tang Hou. Emperor Zhi was in office for nine years, and his political achievements were weak. On the contrary, the Marquis of the Tang Dynasty became more and more powerful, and the tribes were willing to return to it. Wisdom appreciated her talent and gave up the throne. After Fang Xun acceded to the throne, he was named Gao Xin.
During the reign of Tang Yao, the Yellow River flooded and people could not survive. Since there was no water conservancy after the war between Zhuan Xu and Gonggong, Tang Yao appointed Dayu's father Gun Sansheng to govern the Yellow River.
Shun, because of his double eyes, was named Zhong Hua. Shun grew up in danger and gave birth to Yao Qiu in danger, so he was called Yu Shun and surnamed Yao. Shun is also a descendant of Chinese people, but he has been here for seven generations.
Shun's father is, Gu Sou's father is Qiaoniu, Qiaoniu's father is, Wang Ju's father is Jingkang, Jingkang's father is, and his father is Zhuan Xu.
It can be said that their relationship is Huangdi-Changyi-Zhuan Xu-Qiong Chan-Jingkang-Juwang-Niuqiao-Gu Sou-Shun.
? When Yao is old, let everyone recommend a candidate for the throne. At this time, Yu Shun is famous for his filial piety. After hearing this, Yao married his two daughters to Shun and gave him a three-year observation period.
Shun's life experience can be said to be quite tragic. After Shun's mother died, Shun's father married a stepmother, and her stepmother gave him a son named Xiang. However, Gu Sou likes his new wife and youngest son, so he tries to kill Shun. Shun shuns his father, but he is also cautious about his stepmother and younger brother.
Shun was famous for his filial piety at the age of 20, was elected to Yao at the age of 30, managed government affairs at the age of 50, died at the age of 58, and proclaimed himself emperor at the age of 6/kloc-0.
From the Yellow Emperor to Yu Shun, the names are different, but they are all people with the same surname and clan. The Yellow Emperor is a bear, Zhuan Xu is Levin, Di Ku is Gao Xin, Emperor Yao is Tao Tang, and Emperor Shun is dangerous. Later, the Xia Dynasty was established and the emperor changed his surname to Gui. The deed of Shang dynasty is the son's surname; The Zhou dynasty abandoned it as Ji surname and returned to its original state.
