Three emperors and five emperors

 The three emperors and five emperors Pangu family is the protagonist of the well-known story of Pangu's creation of heaven and earth. It is said that the heaven and earth were opened by Pangu with an axe. This story was introduced to the north by Li Daoyuan in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Since then, Pangu has developed from a myth spread among ethnic minorities in the south to a common ancestor of the Chinese nation. The legend of Youchaoshi Youchaoshi has been recorded in ancient books before Qin Dynasty. He is the legendary inventor of nest. This legend reflects the situation of our country from cave dwelling to nest dwelling in primitive times. The name of Nu Wa comes from Qu Yuan's Tian Wen: "Nu Wa has a body. Who is the craftsman?" It means: who made Nu Wa's body. It is said that Nu Wa refined seven colored stones to fill the sky and created human beings. This is a reflection of the myth of matriarchal society. Suirenshi suirenshi is a legendary inventor of drilling wood to make fire, which has been recorded in ancient books before Qin Dynasty. Fuxi's Fuxi's, also known as Baoxi's, made great contributions to the people. "The Baoxi family began to make eight trigrams in order to understand the virtues of gods and the feelings of all things." He also invented "tying ropes to make nets for fishing" to benefit the people. Shennong is the legendary Emperor Yan. Emperor Yan was the sun god of China. He also said that he was the God of agriculture and farming, and he was also the God of medicine. It is said that Shennong tasted all kinds of herbs and created medicine. It's said that Shennong died of the poisonous herb he tried. Huangdi Huangdi is the ancestor of the Chinese nation. The surname is Gongsun, who lives in the hill of Xuanyuan, so it is called Xuanyuan family. There are bears in the country, also known as the bear family. The emperor was flexible, eloquent, and noble in morality. He was hailed as the leader of the nomadic tribes in the northwest. He united with Emperor Yan to defeat the invasion of the Jiuli nationality led by Chiyou. On behalf of Shennong, he became the leader of the tribal alliance and became the "Yellow Emperor". It is said that there were many creations and inventions in the Yellow Emperor's period, such as sericulture, boating, writing, temperament, arithmetic, medicine and so on. In history, Yao, Shun, Xia, Shang and Zhou were all descendants of the Yellow Emperor, so they were called "descendants of Xuanyuan" and "descendants of the Yellow Emperor". Zhuanxu Zhuanxu, surnamed Ji, was named Gaoyang. He is the grandson of the Yellow Emperor and the son of Changyi. At the age of 20, the Yellow Emperor passed the throne to him. After he ascended the throne, he carried out political reform and an important religious reform. The Jiuli people, conquered by the Yellow Emperor, still believed in witchcraft and worshipped ghosts and gods when Zhuanxu came. Zhuan Xu banned witchcraft and forced them to comply with the education of the Huangdi people, which promoted the integration of different nationalities. He was in power for 78 years and died in his 90s. There were many descendants of Zhuan Xu. Qu Yuan claimed to be a descendant of Zhuan Xu. Diho, a great grandson of the Yellow Emperor, is named Ji and Gao Xin. When Emperor he was in power, there were many talented people and he managed the world well. DIHE has been in power for more than 70 years. Emperor Yao, surnamed Yinqi, was named Fangxun. Because he was granted the title of "Tang Yao" in Tang Dynasty, the people fell in love with Emperor Yao because of his high prestige. He was solemn and respectful, shining everywhere, clear from top to bottom, and was able to unite the clans, so that the clans could unite as one family and live in harmony. Yao was a simple man, eating coarse rice and drinking wild vegetable soup. Naturally, they are loved by the people. When Yao was old, the military leader of the tribal alliance was elected by the four mountains and twelve herdsmen, and Shun was unanimously recommended. Emperor Yao married his two daughters to shun, and after a long period of investigation, he finally gave up.

Emperor Shun, surnamed Yao, is said to have two pupils in his eyes, so his name is "Chonghua". There is a Yu family, so he is called Yushun. Shun's father, husuo, whose younger brother was named Xiang. Yao ordered him to take over the position of leader and give him his two daughters as his wife. The main deeds of Shun recorded in Yao Dian are: ordering Houji to plant all kinds of grain on time; digging ditches to facilitate irrigation; dredging rivers to control floods; announcing five punishments to eliminate the four murderers. For example, Shun appointed Yu to be Sikong, who was in charge of soil and water conservation; ordered Yu to be Houji, who was in charge of agriculture; ordered Qi to be situ, who was in charge of five religions; ordered gaotao to manage five punishments, and so on. When Shun was the leader, he did all kinds of work well, and created a harmonious situation in ancient times, so Shun became the most powerful leader in the Central Plains. As the records of the historian says, "the virtue of the world begins with Emperor Yu.". In fact, when Shun came, the rudiment of the state machine was already in place. After his death, he was in the position of Yu. Most of the opinions are that Suiren, Fuxi and Shennong are called "Sanhuang", and Huangdi, Zhuanxu, DIHE, Yaodi and Shundi are called "Wudi". These opinions originated from the spring and Autumn period and Warring States period
