The one I'm going to introduce today is the most inexistent among the "Three Emperors and Five Emperors". He is not as famous as his descendants, and most of his descendants are not his bloodline-this sounds very tragic. The male lead is Emperor Ku [kù].
Emperor Xuan Xiao (Baidi Shaohao), the eldest son of Xuanyuan Huangdi's eldest son, was born in the line of Xuan Xiao [jiǎo] Ji, who was born in Emperor Xuan. Therefore, Emperor Ku's surname is Ji and his name is Jun, and he is the great-grandson of Huangdi.
The emperor's meritorious service was sealed in Xindi. Although this place is fertile, it is low-lying. Once there is a flood, there will be a flood. Emperor Xu led everyone to raise the topography of their residence. But the speed of heightening was not able to keep up with the rate of water rising. The heightening the day before, it was submerged by water the next day.
So Emperor Ku went to heaven to argue with the Emperor, saying: "Since God gave birth to humans, why did he deliberately embarrass people and not let them live?" The Emperor of Heaven was Huangdi at that time, and he was very embarrassed to be asked by his great-grandson. So he sent the gods to descend to the earth to raise the terrain of "Xin" above the water. From then on, Xin Di was called "Gao Xin" (now Gaoxin Town, Suiyang District, Shangqiu City, Henan Province), and Emperor Ku was called "Gao Xin's".
Sima Qian's "Historical Records" records:
"Gao Xin is born with a god, and speaks of his own name. Putting things to benefit, not in his body. Cleverness knows the far, bright to observe the subtle. The righteousness of the sky, the urgency of the people. Benevolence and prestige, benefit and trust, self-cultivation and self-cultivation The world service. Take the wealth of the land and save it, care for the people and benefit them, calendar the sun and the moon and welcome them, understand the ghosts and respect things. Its color is gloomy, its morality is awkward. Its movement is also timely, its The service is also a scholar. The emperor is in charge and spreads all over the world. The sun and the moon are shining, and the wind and rain are coming.
It doesn't matter if you don't understand this passage, anyway, it is said that Emperor Yu Yingming Shenwu, so later Zhuan Xu passed the throne to Emperor Yu.
After Emperor Ku ascended the throne (tribal leader), he moved his capital to Bo (now Shangqiu, Henan) with Mu De as his emperor.
Under Emperor Yu's rule, the weather was smooth and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Emperor Yu was also able to focus on other things, such as music.
The emperor asked the musician Xianhei to produce songs such as Jiu Shao, Liu Lie, and Liu Ying, and ordered music to be used as musical instruments such as drum, bell, pan, pipe, and xun. He also asked 64 dancers to sing while wearing colorful clothes. Jump (this is the earliest girl group, right?). It is said that when the music is played, it also attracts the phoenix to fly birds and dance to the music.
It is said that only the king of benevolence can attract the phoenix, and the benevolence and virtue of the emperor can be described as unparalleled in the world. This can be seen from his treatment of his wife and son.
Emperor Yu's original partner Jiang Yan, the daughter of the Tai family, went out to play when she was not yet married, and stepped on a big footprint in the wild. She immediately felt that her whole body was numb, and she felt an electric shock. After returning home, Jiang Yan found out that she was pregnant. ——Is this kind of thing familiar? It is said that the Huaxu family also stepped on a footprint and gave birth to Fuxi.
Pregnancy before marriage is a big deal. After Jiang Lai gave birth to the child, the Jiang family threw the child into the alley. The cattle and sheep passing by the alley avoided the child from stepping on it. The second time the child was placed in the forest. By the time the child rescued him; the third time the child was placed on the frozen lake, a flock of birds flew up and surrounded the child with their wings.
——This is God not letting this child die! The Jiang family dare not abandon this child anymore.
So Jiang Chang took the child to marry Emperor Ku, and the child was named Abandoned. When he grew up, the emperor gave him the title of Jiguan (agricultural officer) and named Tai Di to him with the name "Hou Ji". ". Later, he was abandoned to become the ancestor of the Zhou Dynasty, that is, the ancestor of the Zhou Wen and Zhou Wu kings.
Emperor Yu's second concubine was Jian Di. She was innocent before marriage, but shortly after marrying Emperor Ku, she went to the river to take a bath and saw a mysterious bird (a swallow) laying an egg. Jian Di picked up the bird's egg and ate it, and she became pregnant without thinking about it!
What else can Emperor Ku do if he encounters such a thing? Forgive her!
Jian Di gave birth to a child named Qi, and his descendants established the Shang Dynasty. This incident was called "Xuanniao Shengshang" in history.
In other words, the so-called battle between Shang and Zhou was also fought by a family.
Emperor Ku's third concubine was called Qingdu. After marriage, Qingdu encountered a red dragon falling from the sky when he was out. Qingdu took in a breath of dragon's breath and became pregnant. Fourteen months later, Qingdu gave birth to a child with eight-colored eyebrows, and Emperor Xu also accepted the reality and named the child Yao. ——Yes, it is Yao, Shunyu and Yao.
Di Yu was not discouraged, and married a few more concubines. According to legend, the "Changyi" (also known as Changxi) from the clan of Wazi [jū zī] gave him Zhi and twelve moons (corresponding to 12 months), so Changyi is also called "Mother of the Moon".
Zhi is the eldest son of Emperor Yu, so Emperor Yu passed on the throne to Zhi.
Emperor Yu reigned for seventy-five years and died at the age of one hundred and five.
Having said that, let's sort out this inheritance pedigree:
Huaxu clan-Fuxi (with Nuwa)-Shaodian (with Fubao)-Huangdi (Ji Xuanyuan, with Leizu)-Shaohao (real name Ji Xuanxiao, the eldest son of Huangdi)-Xiuji-Di Yu (real name Ji Jun) )
Looking at it this way, Fuxi was home to the world from the beginning, but why didn't the history books admit it?
Because these are all myths and legends, we Chinese are too real in doing history, and generally don't make assertions without evidence. Unlike the West, we take the so-called epics of blind poets as history, and we often dig out some that are still smooth after thousands of years. Liang Liang's sculptures and cultural relics are used as evidence. As long as our historians are so bold, our glorious history has to be pushed up by 3 to 4 thousand years.
Zhi Zai Zhinian passed the throne to Yao. It is said that there is still a tricky thing in it, let's break this down next time.
