History

Chapter 13 Three Generations
Tai Shigong said: The records of the Five Emperors and the Three Dynasties are still good.Since the Yin Dynasty, the feudal lords could not obtain the genealogy, but since the Zhou Dynasty, it is quite possible.Confucius's history and writings are in the Spring and Autumn Period, the first year of Jiyuan, when the sun and the moon are at the right time, so it is detailed.As for the preface to the Shangshu, it is omitted, without the date; or quite a lot, but it is too many to be recorded.Therefore, if you have doubts, you will spread doubts, which is why you are cautious.

I read Spy Records, and there are years since the Yellow Emperor.Jiqi's calendar, espionage, beginning and end, the biography of the five virtues, the ancient texts are different and weird.How can it be vain to talk about the next year and month of the master!Therefore, the republic since the Yellow Emperor of the Five Emperors and Shangshuji was used as the world's representative.

Mr. Zhang asked Mr. Chu: "The poems say that Qi and Houji were born without a father. The biographies in this case say that there are fathers, and the fathers are all the sons of the Yellow Emperor. Is it absurd to have nothing and poetry?"

Mr. Chu said: "No way. Poems say that deeds are born from eggs, and those who have been left behind by people in Houji want to see that they have the meaning of destiny and sincerity. Ghosts and gods cannot be self-contained, they must be born by humans, why are they born without a father! There is a word! Father, there is no father with a single word. Faith spreads faith, doubt spreads doubts, so two words. Yao knew that Qi and Ji were sages, born of heaven, so he sealed the Qi for seventy miles, and the next ten generations went to Tang, King of the world. Yao knew that the descendants of Houji were the kings, so he was granted the title of hundreds of miles, and his descendants lived for thousands of years. When he reached King Wen, he would have the world. The poem said: "Tang Zhi was born with a father, and he was born without a father. Qi's mother and sisters Bathed in the water of Xuanqiu, there was a swallow with an egg and dropped it, and Qi's mother got it, so she contained it, swallowed it by mistake, and then gave birth to Qi. Qi was born and virtuous, Yao made him Situ, and his surname was Zishi. The son is here; , Yi Daye. The poet is beautiful and eulogized, "Yin society is full of light, and the heavenly bird descends to give birth to Shang." The merchants are hostile, and the name of Yin is also. The first king of Wen was Houji, and Houji was born without a father. Hou Ji's mother is Jiang Yuan. When she came out to see the traces of great people and practiced them, she knew them, and she gave birth to Hou Ji. Jiang Yuan thought that he had no father, and he was humbled and abandoned. In the way, cattle and sheep avoid and do not trample. Raise it. And donate it to Daze, and the birds cover the mat to eat it. Jiang Yuan was surprised, so he knew that he was the son of heaven, and he took the elder. Yao knew that he was talented, and he made him a big farmer. His surname was Ji. Ji, This is also. The poet is beautiful and eulogizes that "the people were born at the beginning of Jue", and the deep cultivation and benefit are the beginning of the Tao Houji.' Confucius said: "In the past, Yao ordered Qi to be the son's family, so there was soup. Order Houji For the Ji family, for King Youwen. The great king ordered Jili, and tomorrow will be Ruiye. Taibo's Wu is the source of life.' The destiny is hard to say, and no one who is not a saint can see it. Shun, Yu, Qi, and Houji are all descendants of the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor ruled the world with the mandate of heaven, and his deeds were deeply rooted in later generations. Therefore, all his descendants were restored to be the son of heaven. The world? It has a destiny."

"Which of the descendants of the Yellow Emperor is the king of the world?"

Said: "It is said that the king of the world is the king of the world who is the head of the city and asks for the life of the people to redeem the people. Blessed forever. The Yellow Emperor is also. The five political civilizations are based on propriety and righteousness. The king who benefits from the expedition by the weather is blessed for thousands of generations. The king of Shu , the descendants of the Yellow Emperor, who are five thousand miles southwest of Han Dynasty, often come to court and sacrifice to Han. It is not because of the virtues of the first, but the evil of the later generations? How can morality be ignored! That. Huo Zimeng, the great general of the Han Dynasty, who was named Guang, was also the descendant of the Yellow Emperor. This can be said by a man of great knowledge and vision, but it is difficult for a man of shallow knowledge. Why do you say it? The ancient princes used the country as their surname. Huo is the name of the country. King Wu Feng Dishu was in Huo, and the later Jin Xiangong destroyed Huo Gong, and the later generations were common people, living in Pingyang. Pingyang is in the east of the river, and the land of the east of the river is divided into Weiguo. In poetry, it can also be the Zhou Dynasty. Zhou started Houji , Hou Ji was born without a father. According to the rumors of three generations, Hou Ji had a father named Gao Xin; The hometown of Yan holds the government of the world, and sometimes there is a baby master, but he drives a car. General Huo, originally lived in Baiyan, Pingyang. When I was a minister, I met with alchemists under the flag pavilion and said for my minister. Isn’t it great? !"
