Three Sages King and Five Emperors —— Legendary Rulers of China in Ancient Times.

The Three Emperors and Five Emperors were the legendary "emperors" in China before the Xia Dynasty. Now it seems that they are all tribal leaders, and they have become the leaders of tribal alliances because of their strength. It is generally believed that they should belong to Mongolian race. Basically, no matter according to myths and legends or historical records, people think that Huang San lived before the Five Emperors. But different historians have different definitions of "Three Emperors and Five Emperors". Huang San has five theories, and so do the five emperors.

Huang San Suiren, Fuxi, Shennong

Fuxi, Nuwa, Shennong

Fuxi, Zhu Rong, Shennong

Fuxi, Shennong and Gonggong

Fuxi, Shennong and Huangdi

The latter view was popularized because of the influence of Shangshu, and Fuxi, Shennong and Huangdi became the three oldest emperors in China.

In addition, Huang San, together with the Emperor, Huangdi and Ren Huang, is called the Three Gods in Hanshu Weishu. Later, in Taoism, Huang San was divided into three groups: the third-grade emperor was human; In Huang San, people face snakes or dragons; Fuxi is the head of Wang Huang, Nuwa is the head of Emperor Huang, and Shennong is the head of Emperor Niu.
