In ancient Chinese history, legend has it that many wise kings appeared, who were revered as saints and regarded as the rulers of the world. The Yellow Emperor is known as the first king, and he possessed extraordinary intelligence and was considered a genius. The surname of the Yellow Emperor was Gongsun, named Xuanyuan, and was later revered as the ancestor of the Chinese nation, making "Xuanyuan" one of the symbols of the Chinese nation.
In the time of the Yellow Emperor, the authority of the Shennong clan as a ruler had gradually declined, the princes were their own masters, and the people suffered a lot, but the Shennong clan was helpless. In order to put an end to this situation, the Yellow Emperor began to raise an army, build **, and conquer those tyrannical princes, so that many princes have submitted to his banner. Even if the Chiyou tribe is powerful, it cannot be conquered for the time being. In the face of the declining Shennong clan, Emperor Yan tried to restore his power by force, but most of the princes had turned their hearts to the Yellow Emperor and no longer obeyed Emperor Yan's orders. The Yellow Emperor led the princes of various places to fight many battles with the Yan Emperor's camp in Hanquan, and finally won three consecutive victories and defeated the Yan Emperor. After that, Emperor Yan shook hands with the Yellow Emperor, and the Yellow Emperor successfully conquered Emperor Yan, turned his attention to the Chiyou tribe, and after a fierce battle, finally captured Chiyou and beheaded him.
With the victory of the Yellow Emperor, many princes supported him as the Son of Heaven, replacing the position of Shennong. Although the Yellow Emperor faced some disobedient princes, he continued to crusade and strive to consolidate his dominance. The Yellow Emperor traveled all over the country, carried out indoctrination, and appointed officials to help govern the world. The relationship between the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor gradually became harmonious, and they jointly governed China, and were respected by later generations as "the descendants of Yan and Huang".
After the death of the Yellow Emperor, his great-grandson Gao Yang succeeded to the throne and was honored as Zhuan. He was also a wise and wise king, and under his rule, China's territory expanded again. After his death, his cousin Gao Xin succeeded him as the Son of Heaven and became another great king. However, Gao Xin's successor, Zhi, was not perfect, and the throne was eventually inherited by his younger brother Fang Xun, Emperor Yao.
Emperor Yao was known as the spokesman of the gods, and his benevolence was comparable to that of the stars in the sky, and he was erudite and talented. Under Yao's leadership, the people lived happily and faithfully, and the princes served loyally. It is said that Yao instituted a calendar system for the year, which set the direction of east, west, north and south, and made great contributions to the development of agriculture. As Yao grew older and considered his succession, the ministers proposed candidates such as Danzhu and Gonggong, but Yao decided that they were not suitable, and in the final choice, Shun became his ideal successor.
Shun was recognized as a virtuous and virtuous ruler, and Yao gave his daughter to him to test his virtues, and Shun continued to be humble and virtuous, and Yao was so satisfied that he passed the throne to him. After Yao's death, Shun became the Son of Heaven and was deeply loved by the people. Yao's decision to refuse to pass the throne to Danzhu in his later years proved to be wise, and Yao's legacy was inherited by Shun, achieving better governance and rule. Shun's rule allowed the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and the people lived happily, and won the support of many princes.
Under the rule of the Yellow Emperor, Emperor Yao, and Emperor Shun, ancient China created a mythical prosperity and harmony that provided far-reaching historical inspiration for future generations. Their legendary stories not only inspire future generations to continue to pursue the path of wisdom and sage, but also make us deeply aware of the excellent practice and profound significance of kings and their ways of governing for thousands of years. These legendary kings will forever shine in the long history of the Chinese nation and have left valuable spiritual wealth for future generations.
