The Yellow Emperor, son of Shaodian, surnamed Gongsun, named Xuanyuan.Born as a god, weak and able to speak, young and sloppy, long and sensitive, mature and smart.At the time of Xuanyuan, the Shennong family declined.The princes invaded each other and tyrannized the people, but Shennong's family was able to conquer.So Xuanyuan is accustomed to fighting with weapons, and the princes come here to follow.But Chi You is the most violent, and cannot be attacked.Emperor Yan wanted to invade the princes of the mausoleum, and the princes returned to Xuanyuan.Xuanyuan cultivates morality and revitalizes soldiers, governs the five qi, consecrates the five kinds, caresses the people, saves the four directions, and teaches the bears to fight the Yan Emperor in the field of Banquan.Three battles, and then get the ambition.Chi You did not need the emperor's order to cause chaos.So the Yellow Emperor conscripted the princes, fought Chi You in the field of Zhuolu, and killed Chi You.And the princes Xianzun Xuanyuan was the son of heaven, replacing the Shennong family, who was the Yellow Emperor.There are those who are not going well in the world, and the Yellow Emperor will conquer them, and those who are flat will go to them, and they will live in peace through the mountain passage.

As far as Yuhai in the east, climb Maru Mountain, and Daizong.As far as Kongtong in the west, climb the head of the chicken.As far as Yujiang in the south, Dengxiong and Xiang.The meat porridge in the north is in line with Busan, and the city is in the city of Zhuolu.Migration is impermanent, with division soldiers as camp guards.The official names are all named after Yun Ming, who is Yun Shi.Set up the left and right supervisors, supervised in Wan Guo.All nations are in harmony, but there are many ghosts, gods, mountains and rivers enshrining Zen.Get the treasure tripod and push it to meet the sun.After Jufeng, Li Mu, Chang Xian, and Da Hong ruled the people.Following the discipline of heaven and earth, the dominance of darkness, the theory of death and life, the difficulty of survival.Timely sowing hundreds of grains and plants, Chunhua birds, beasts, insects and moths, next to the sun, moon and stars, water waves, earth, stones, gold and jade, hard work, hard work, eyes and ears, saving water and fire materials.It has the auspiciousness of Tude, so it is called Huangdi.

The Yellow Emperor had 25 sons, 14 of whom had surnames.

The Yellow Emperor lived on the hill of Xuanyuan, and married the daughter of Xiling, who was Lei Zu.Leizu was the main concubine of the Yellow Emperor, and she had two sons, both of whom would rule the world: one is Xuanxiao, who is Qingyang, and Qingyang descends to Jiangshui;Changyi married a daughter of the Shushan family, called Changpu, who gave birth to Gaoyang, who had sage virtues.The Yellow Emperor collapsed and was buried in Qiaoshan.Gao Yangli, the son of his grandson Changyi, was Emperor Zhuanxu.

Emperor Zhuanxu Gaoyang, the grandson of the Yellow Emperor and the son of Changyi.Jingyuan uses planning and dredging to know things; nourishing materials to assign land, carrying time to resemble the sky, relying on ghosts and gods to control righteousness, governing qi to educate, and purifying sincerity to sacrifice.It reaches Youling in the north, Jiaozhi in the south, Liusha in the west, and Panmu in the east.Things that are moving and still, the gods of big and small, illuminated by the sun and the moon, all belong to them.

Emperor Zhuanxu gave birth to a son named Qiongchan.Zhuanxu died, and Xuanxiao's grandson, Gao Xinli, became Emperor Ku.

Emperor Ku Gaoxin is also the great-grandson of the Yellow Emperor.Gao Xin's father was called Xuji, Xuji's father was called Xuanxiao, and Xuanxiao's father was called Huangdi.Since Xuanxiao and Xuji were not allowed to be on the throne, Gao Xin was the emperor.Gao Xin was the son of Zhuanxu.

Gao Xin was born as a god and spoke his name.Pu Shi Li things, not on the body.To be wise is to know far, and to be wise is to observe subtleties.Follow the righteousness of heaven and know the urgency of the people.Benevolence leads to prestige, kindness leads to trust, self-cultivation leads to obedience to the world.Take the wealth of the land and use it sparingly, educate the people and benefit them, welcome and send them off over the course of the day, and respect ghosts and gods.Its color is gloomy, and its virtue is strong.When it moves, it also obeys.Emperor Ku irrigated the central government and traveled all over the world, where the sun and the moon shine, and where the wind and rain come, there is no one who does not obey.

Emperor Ku married Chen Feng's daughter and gave birth to Fangxun.Marry the daughter of Xi Zi's family and give birth to Zhi.Emperor Ku died, and Zhi was established on his behalf.Emperor Zhili is not good, but his younger brother Fang Xunli is Emperor Yao.

Emperor Yao, let go.His benevolence is like heaven, his knowledge is like God.It's like the sun, and it's like a cloud.Rich but not arrogant, expensive but not comfortable.Huang collects pure clothes, and Tong rides on a white horse.To be able to tame virtue, to kiss the nine clans.When the nine clans are in harmony, they will rule the people.The people will be clear, and the nations will be united.

It is the order of Xi, He, respect and obedience to Haotian, counting the sun, moon and stars, and respecting the time of the people.He was assigned to Xizhong, who lived in Yuyi, and was called Yanggu.Respect the sunrise, then Cheng Dongzuo.In the middle of the day, the star bird, and Yin Zhongchun.According to its folk analysis, the characters of birds and beasts are small.Shenming Uncle Xi lives in Nanjiao.Then Cheng Nanwei, respectful.Riyong, Xinghuo, in the middle of summer.Its people are the birds and beasts.Shen Ming and Zhong, who live in the west, are called the valley of ignorance.Respect the sun, and then Cheng Xicheng.In the middle of the night, the stars are empty, and it is the Mid-Autumn Festival.Its people are easy to change, and the birds and beasts are feathered.Deuteronomy and uncle; living in the north, called Youdu.It's in Fuwu.The day is short, the stars are subdued, and it is in the middle of winter.Its people are like birds and beasts.The year is 360 six days, and it is four o'clock in the leap month.Believe in the order of hundreds of officials, all the merits will be prosperous.

Yao said: "Who can obey this matter?" Fang Qi said: "Heir Danzhu Kaiming." Gathering work by the workers can be used." Yao said: "Gonggong is good at speaking, but its use is out of the way, it seems to be full of respect, so it can't be done." Yao said again: "Oh, the four mountains, the soup is flooding the sky, and the vast Huaishan Xiangling , the people are worried, is there anyone who can make them govern?" They all said Gunke.Yao said, "It is impossible for Gun to destroy the clan by order." Yue said, "It's different, it's just a trial." Yao then listened to Yue's use of Gun.Nine years old, functional failure.

Yao said: "Sigh! Siyue: I have been in power for seventy years, how can you live my life and stand on my throne?" Yue Ying said, "I despise the emperor's position." Yao said: "I will take care of the noble relatives and those who are distant and hidden. "Everyone said to Yao and said: "There is pride among the people, called Yushun." Yao said: "Well, I heard it. How is it?" Harmony with filial piety, governing with prosperity, and avoiding adultery." Yao said: "I will try it." So the two daughters of Yao's wife regarded their virtues from the two daughters.Shun ordered his two daughters to be married to Guirui, just like a woman.Yao was good at it, so that Shun was careful to harmonize the five codes, and the five codes could follow.It is all over the hundreds of officials, and the timing of the hundreds of officials.The guests are at the four gates, and the four gates are mum, and all the princes and guests from afar are respectful.Yao sent Shun into the mountains, forests, rivers and lakes, and there was a storm, but Shun was not lost in his journey.Yao thought that he was holy, so he called Shun and said, "It's been three years since a woman's counseling can be achieved. The woman ascended to the throne." Shun was not satisfied with Yu De.On the first day of the first month, Shun Shou finally Wen Zu.The ancestor of Wen is also the great ancestor of Yao.

So Emperor Yao was old and ordered Shun to take charge of the government of the Son of Heaven in order to observe the destiny of heaven.Shun was in Suiji Yuheng, and Qi Qizheng.So it is similar to God, compared to the six sects, looked at mountains and rivers, and debated with gods.揖五瑞, choose an auspicious month and day, and see the shepherds of the four mountains, Ban Rui.In the second month of the year, he went on a hunting tour in the east. As for Daizong, he was ranked among the mountains and rivers.Then I saw the ruler of the East, who was on the same day as the moon and the sun, and had the same law of weights and measures. He practiced the five rituals, five jades, three silks, two lifes and one death.In May, hunting tours in the south; in August, hunting tours in the west; in November, hunting tours in the north: all as before.Returning, as for the Zuni Temple, special cow rituals are used.At the age of five, there is a hunting tour, and the group has four dynasties.Tell with words, test with merit, and conquer with mediocrity.There are two states in Zhaoshi, Juechuan.Elephant is punished by code, five punishments are exiled, official punishment is whipped, teaching punishment is thrown, and gold is used as ransom punishment.If disasters pass, pardon;Qin Zai, Qin Zai, but the tranquility of punishment!

He talked about Gonggong, and Yao said that it is impossible to try the engineer, and the fruit of Gonggong is obscene.The Four Mountains raised Gun to control Hongshui, Yao thought it was impossible, Yue Qiang asked to try it, but it failed, so it was inconvenient for the people.The number of Sanmiao in Jianghuai and Jingzhou was chaotic.So Shun returned to the emperor and asked Gonggong to be transferred to Youling to transform the Northern Di; to release Huandou to Chongshan to transform the Southern Man; to move the Sanmiao to Sanwei to transform the Western Rong; Yi: The four crimes are accepted by the world.

Yao Li acquired Shun 70 years ago, and when he was 20 years old, he ordered Shun to take over the government of the Son of Heaven and recommend him to heaven.Yao died after 28 years.The people mourned like the loss of their parents.For three years, there was no joy in the Quartet, but Siyao.Yao knew that his son Danzhu was unworthy and not worthy of entrusting the world, so he entrusted the power to Shun.If Shun is granted, the world will benefit and Danzhu will be sick; if Danzhu is granted, the world will be sick and Danzhu will benefit.Yao said, "Never benefit one person by taking advantage of the sickness of the world", but he gave Shun the power of the world after his death.After Yao collapsed, after three years of mourning, Shun let Danzhu live south of the Nanhe River.The pilgrims of the princes did not praise Danzhu but Shun, the prison litigants did not praise Danzhu but Shun, and the singers did not praise Danzhu but Shun.Shun said "Heaven", and the future China practiced the position of the Son of Heaven, and it was Emperor Shun.

Yu Shun's name is Chonghua.Chonghua's father is Gusou, Gusou's father is Qiaoniu, Qiaoniu's father is Juwang, Juwang's father is Jingkang, Jingkang's father is Qiongchan, Qiongchan's father is Emperor Zhuanxu, Zhuanxu's father is Changyi: even Shun VII carry on.From Qiongchan to Emperor Shun, they are all insignificant common people.

Shun's father, Gusou, was blind, and Shun's mother died, and Gusou married a wife and gave birth to Xiang, Xiangao.Gusou loved his stepwife, and often wanted to kill Shun, but Shun ran away;Shun the father, stepmother and younger brother, with daily earnestness, the bandit understands.

Shun, a native of Jizhou.When Shun plowed Lishan, fished Leize, and Taohe Riverside, he made utensils in Shouqiu, and it was in the negative summer.Shun's father Gusou was stubborn, his mother Li and younger brother Xiangao all wanted to kill Shun.Shun Shunshi does not lose his son's way, and his brothers are filial and kind.If you want to kill, you can't get it; if you ask, you can taste it.

In Shun's [-]th year, he heard about filial piety.Thirty and Emperor Yao asked if it was available, Siyue Xian recommended Yu Shun, saying yes.So Yao used his two wives, Shun, to see the inside, and made nine men and Chu, to see the outside.Shun lived in Guirui, and he was cautious in his expertise.The two daughters of Yao did not dare to serve Shun's relatives with honor and arrogance, and they were very womanly.Yao and nine men are all beneficial.When Shun farmed Lishan, all the people in Lishan gave way; when fishing in Lei Ze, everyone on Lei Ze gave up their residence;It takes one year to live in a gathering, two years to a city, and three years to Chengdu.Yao gave Shun clothes and a qin to build granaries and cattle and sheep.Gusou again wanted to kill him, so he sent Shun to paint the granary, while Gusou set fire to the granary from below.Shun defended himself with two hats and went down without dying.Later, Gusou made Shun go through the well again, and Shun went through the well so that he could escape from the void.After Shun had gone deep, Gusou and Xiang dug the soil to build the well, and Shun came out from hiding.Gusou and Xiangxi regarded Shun as dead.Xiang said, "Xiang is the one who plotted." Xiang and his parents separated, so he said: "Shun's wife, Yao, and two daughters, and the qin, Xiang took it. The cattle and sheep barn were given to the parents." Xiang lived in Shun's palace and played his qin.Shun went to see him.Xiang E Buyi said: "I think Shun is making pottery!" Shun said: "Yes, you are a concubine!"So Yao tried Shun's five canons and hundreds of officials, and they ruled them all.

In the past, the Gaoyang family had eight talented men, who benefited from them in the world, and they were called "Eight Kais".The Gaoxin family had eight talented men, which are called "eight yuan" in the world.These sixteen tribes are beautiful in the world and will not lose their names.As for Yao, Yao failed to do so.Shun raised the eight kings, made him the master of Houtu, and used all the things to do everything in time.Take eight yuan to spread the five teachings in all directions, father's righteousness, mother's kindness, brother and friend, younger brother's respect, son's filial piety, internal peace and external success.

In the past, Emperor Hong's family had a son who was not talented, who concealed righteousness and concealed thieves, who was fond of committing murder, and the world called it chaos.The Shaohao family had untalented sons, who destroyed their trust and loyalty, and worshiped evil words, and the world called them poor and strange.Zhuanxu had a son who was not talented, and he could not teach him a lesson, and he did not know how to speak, and the world called him 梼杌.These three clans worry about it all over the world.As for Yao, Yao failed to go.The Jinyun family had a son who was not talented, who was greedy for food and drink, and took bribes with goods, and the world called him gluttonous.The evil in the world is worse than the three.Shun was in the four gates, and he belonged to the four fierce clans, and moved to the four descendants to control the evil spirits, so the four gates were opened, saying that there were no murderers.

When Shun entered Dalu, strong winds, thunder and rain did not faze him, Yao knew that Shun's feet were enough to teach the world.When Yao was old, he made Shun take charge of the emperor's government and patrol hunting.Shun had to serve for 20 years, and Yao made him regent.Yao died in eight years of regent.After three years of mourning, let Danzhu, and the world belong to Shun.However, Yu, Gaotao, Qi, Houji, Boyi, Kui, Long, Yu, Yi, and Pengzu were all used from time to time since Yao, without division of duties.So Shun and even Wen Zu conspired in the four mountains, opened four gates, and opened up four gates to understand the eyes and ears of the four directions.Shun said to the four mountains and said: "If there is something that can be mediocre and beautiful, let the officials and ministers do it?" They all said: "Bo Yu is Sikong, and he can be a beautiful emperor." Shun said: "Oh, yes! Yu, you Leveling the water and the soil, the dimensions are admirable." Yu paid homage to Jishou and gave way to Ji, Qi, and Gaoyao.Shun said: "Yes, let's go." Shun said: "Abandon, the people of Li will start to starve, and your queen will sow a hundred grains." Shun said: "Qi, the people are not close, and the five ranks are not tame. Applying the five teachings is lenient." Shun said: "Gao Tao, the barbarians are sly Xia, bandits and bandits are treacherous, and you are a scholar, you have to serve the five punishments, and the five punishments are three; Believe me." Shun said, "Who can tame workers?"So take the vertical as a common work.Shun said: "Who can tame the upper and lower grass, trees, birds and beasts?"So I take benefit as my risk.Yi worshiped Jishou and gave way to the ministers Zhu Hu and Xiong Wei.Shun said: "It's time to go, you are harmonious." Then he took Zhu Hu and Xiong Gu as his assistants.Shun said: "Sigh! Four mountains, who can honor my three rites?" They all called Boyi Ke.Shun said: "Sigh! Boyi, I regard you as the leader of the rank, and I respect you all night long, and I keep you quiet." Boyi let Kui and Long.Shun said: "Of course. Take Kui as the classic music, teach young children to be straight but warm, broad but chestnut, rigid but not cruel, simple but not arrogant; poetry expresses meaning, song speaks long, the sound is eternal, rhythm and sound, eight The sound can be in harmony, don't compete with each other, and the gods and men will make peace." Kui said: "Yu! I hit the stone and smash the stone, and the beasts will dance." Shun said: "Dragon, I am afraid of slander and hypocrisy, and I am shocked. , I ordered you to be Na Yan, to come and go in and out of my life at night, but to believe." Shun said: "Oh! There are two women in twenty, respectful, it's just a matter of time and nature." Congratulations to Xianxing.Divided into three northern seedlings.

These 22 people have made great achievements in salt: Gao Tao is Dali, flat, and the people are subdued; Hundreds of valleys are flourishing; Situ, the owner of the Qi, is friendly to the people; the guest of the dragon, the guests come from afar; the twelve pastures, and no one in Kyushu dares to violate them; only Yu's contribution is great, covering the Nine Mountains, connecting the Nine Lakes, and breaking the Nine Rivers , Set Kyushu, each of them will pay tribute according to their duties, which is very appropriate.Five thousand miles away, as for the deserted clothes.Nanfu Jiaozhi, Beifa, Xirong, Xizhi, Qushan, Di, and Qiang, Beishan Rong, Fa, Xishen, Dongchang, Niaoyi, the merits of Emperor Shun in the four seas.So Yu Naixing enjoyed the joy of nine tricks, causing a foreign object, and the Phoenix Emperor came to fly.All the virtues in the world began with Emperor Yu.

In Shun's 58th year, he heard about filial piety, in the 61th year, Yao promoted it, in the 39th year, he took care of the emperor's affairs, in the 17th year, Yao died, and in the [-]st year, Yao practiced the throne.In the [-]th year of practicing the throne, he went hunting in the south and died in the wild of Cangwu.Buried in Jiuyi in the south of the Yangtze River, it is Lingling.Shun's practice of the throne, carrying the Tianzi Banner, went to court his father, Gusou, Kui Kui Wei Jing, just like the way of the son.Fengdi Xiang is a prince.Shunzi Shangjun was also dishonorable, and Shun Naiyu recommended Yu to heaven. [-] years and collapsed.After three years of mourning, Yu also gave up Shunzi, just as Shun gave up Yaozi.The princes returned, and then Yu practiced the position of emperor.Danzhu, the son of Yao, and Shangjun, the son of Shun, all had their territory, and they worshiped the ancestors.Take the clothes, the ceremony is the same.Seeing the Son of Heaven as a guest, the Son of Heaven Fuchen expressed that he dared not be exclusive.

From the Yellow Emperor to Shun and Yu, all have the same surname but different country titles, with Zhang Mingde.Therefore, the Yellow Emperor is Youxiong, Emperor Zhuanxu is Gaoyang, Emperor Ku is Gaoxin, Emperor Yao is Taotang, and Emperor Shun is Youyu.Emperor Yu was the Empress of Xia's Bie family, and his surname was Si.The contract is a merchant, and the surname is Zi.Abandoned as Zhou, surnamed Ji.

Tai Shigong said: Scholars often call them the Five Emperors, which is still true.However, the Shangshu has only recorded since Yao; while the Yellow Emperor is spoken of by hundreds of schools, its writing is not elegant and tame, and Mr. Jianshen can hardly say it.Confucianists may not pass on the five emperors' virtues and imperial surnames as passed down by Confucius.Yu Chang went to Kongtong in the west, Zhuolu in the north, the sea in the east, and the rivers and Huaihe Rivers in the south, to the place where the elders often called Huangdi, Yao, and Shun.Yuguan Chunqiu and Guoyu, who invented the virtues of the five emperors and the surnames of the emperors, Zhang Yi, Gu Difu studied deeply, and what he said was true.There is a gap in the lack of books, and its anecdotes are often seen in him.Unless you are eager to learn and think deeply, and know what it means, it is hard to be a little-sighted and ignorant.Yu and the second time, choose the one whose words are elegant, so it is the first book of this Ji.
