Twelve emperors in the history of China: Ruling the country by obedience and virtue.

Governing the country with benevolence

Three years later, Yao gave way to Shun, who accepted his abdication in Yao's ancestral hall on the auspicious day of the first month. Shun reported to heaven that he inherited the throne, offered sacrifices to the gods of heaven and earth, accepted the worship of four governors, and presented empresses.

Next, Shun began to preside over political affairs, formulated the etiquette system for princes to appear before the emperor, selected talents and formulated the criminal code. Ancient folk customs were simple, and the country had no laws. At that time, there were only five kinds of planting punishment to punish the wicked, namely ink punishment, flogging, castration and banishment, which mainly restrained people's hearts with morality.

Statues of Shun Di can be traced back to 0755 to 79000, created in18th century, and collected in the French National Library.

Shun is very generous and kind. Although there are five punishments, Shun is basically unnecessary. He painted the five punishments on objects, mainly as a warning. Even if it was absolutely necessary, Shun adopted the method of exile that did not harm the body instead of the five punishments. Shun Gonggong was demoted to Youzhou, Huan Dou was demoted to Chongshan, Sanmiao was demoted to Sanwei Mountain, and the stubborn and offensive ancient days were demoted to fish and jump off the mountain. After these four wicked people were exiled, the hearts of the whole world were greatly shocked.

Record: Yao gave way to Shun, causing Shun's jealousy. He felt that Shun's position and ability should be ranked among the three fairs, and so should Shun, so he disagreed with Yao's giving way to Shun and asked Yao to let him do the three fairs. When he didn't get it, he flew into a rage, disobeyed Shun's orders and prepared to rebel, so he was punished.

In addition, it is said that the Yellow Emperor has corrupt descendants, which is called chaos by the world. Shao Hao also has black sheep, known as Qiong Qi; It is well known that there are black sheep in Zhuan Xu. In addition, the fine print of Jinyun has no appetite for grandchildren, and everyone in the world is afraid of them, which is collectively called the four villains. Shun exiled the four villains to the most remote places in order to resist the evil spirits of the Quartet. Since then, the four doors have been peaceful, and there are no wicked people in the world.

appoint people on their merit

The bad guys were punished and everyone's hearts were persuaded. Shun began to choose talents. Gun's son has both ability and political integrity, so Shun recommended him to Yao to take his father's place. Wen is the pioneer of Xia Dynasty, the famous Yu. Yu learned the lesson of Gun's failure. He surveyed the geography of the whole country. According to the terrain, he followed the five elements and mainly used hydrophobic methods. Thirteen years of water control, not afraid of difficulties and dangers, and finally succeeded in water control after three times.

Shun not only successfully used Dayu to control water, but also spent eight to eight yuan. According to legend, Zhuan Xu has descendants of Bade, known as Bakai in the world and Bade in the world, known as Eight Yuan. These sixteen generations have maintained a beautiful virtue and are praised by people all over the world. Recommend Bakai, let them take the post of returning to the earth, and handle all kinds of affairs in an orderly way; Shun also recommended eight yuan for them to spread the five religions to the world: father, mother, brother and filial piety, so as to make the family harmonious and the world prosperous.

Emperor Yao asked Yu Shun about "Portraits of Celebrities and Sages of Emperors in Past Dynasties". Fengyangyin printed this illustration in the forty-eighth year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty.

At the age of thirty, Shun was called; At the age of 33, Yao Chan was in Shun, acting as regent for Yao; At the age of fifty, fully exercise the status of the son of heaven; Fifty-eight years old, Emperor Yao died, and Shun mourned for three years.

Three years later, Shun ceded the throne to Yao's eldest son, then left the capital and hid in the south bank of Nanhe River. The prince appeared in court and didn't see Dani, but

The rest are ordinary people, managing the land and leveling the water and soil; Abandon Hou Ji, take charge of agriculture, and teach the people to grow a hundred grains; Ren Qi Situ, in charge of education, carries forward the five religions; Hao Tao Stoneman, in charge of justice; He is a collaborator and leads the craftsmen; Yu Yi, in charge of Yamazawa; Arbitrary in the first place, in charge of sacrifice and etiquette; Manage music, manage music; Speak for the dragon, convey the emperor's orders and report the situation.

With so many sages assisting Shun, the world is being managed better and better. Shun also established an official assessment system, which is conducted once every three years and once every nine years. After three examinations, unqualified officials were eliminated and qualified officials were promoted, which made it clear to the world.

Create music and dance

After the reign of the great emperor, Shunren had a good life in Lv Chunqiu. Yohito wind music is one of the six generations of music and dance. It is said that there are at least nine chapters, which are also called "less and less". Legend has it that Shun had people play Jiu Shao. After reading nine chapters, the phoenix flies. After hearing this, all the animals danced with it.

The image of Shun comes from the book Xiaoyao Tour written in Ming Dynasty.

When Confucius was in Qi State, he was lucky enough to hear less and less music. He was ecstatic after listening to it. He couldn't eat meat for three months and sighed, "I didn't expect music to reach such a state!" " This is the allusion of "I don't know meat in March" recorded in the "Ten Thousand Years Map" of the Taoist emperor. Therefore, Confucius commented: "Less is perfect, it is perfect!" It can be seen that the profound connotation and realm of ancient music can awaken people's desires, cultivate morality, purify their souls, and show their heartfelt reverence for the god of heaven and earth. This should be the real meaning and function of music. Unfortunately, these ancient music and dances have been lost now.

In addition, Shun played the banjo "The Analects of Confucius" and sang: "The south wind can solve the worries of our people; When the south wind blows, it can enrich my people's wealth. "

Shun's sister bowed her head to help her brother avoid disaster and was praised by later generations. She has made great achievements in painting and is the earliest person in the history of painting in the process of human civilization. She is known as the ancestor of painting and also as a painter. Praise her and say, "Nature is in your heart, and your skills are unique."

Tian ci Xiang Rui

When Shun was in power, he was blessed because the world was well governed. Record: In Shunnian, a pod was born on the stage, a phoenix snuggled up in the court and all the animals danced together. Jing xing appeared in the house, and a horse riding Huang Ma appeared on the ground. The Queen Mother of Kunlun Mountain came to pay homage to Shunhuan and Yuzan.

It is also recorded that during the Shunnian period, the Queen Mother of the West came to the DPRK to present a white jade ring and a hostess. It is also recorded that in the Shun era, the auspicious sign of Qingyun appeared in the sky, and Shun joined officials in praising Qingyun.

Shun sang, "Qingyun is rotten, he corrects his worries, and the sun and the moon are bright, Dan Fudan Xi." The princes sang: "The sky is bright, the stars are rotten, the sun is bright, and a person is brilliant." Shun sang again: "The sun and the moon are always there, and the stars are always there." Fourth, when it is lighter, the surname Wan is honest. If you want to talk about music, you must match the spirit of heaven. If you move to a moral place, you must listen to it. It's a drum, it's a dance. The essence is gone, and the dress is gone. "This is the famous Shao in history. During the Republic of China, it was twice adapted into the national anthem of China.

Shun Di Zen position

Shun's princess E Huang had no children, Nv Ying gave birth to Shang Jun, and Shun had eight concubines, but none of them had any commendable virtues. As a result, Shun gave the throne to Yu, who had a negative fate, well-managed water conservancy and ruled the world.

Records: Shun set up an altar by the river, such as Emperor Yao. After the sacrifice, in the evening, auspicious atmosphere rose around, and a yellow dragon appeared on the altar with a picture on its back. I saw that the painting was 32 feet long and 9 feet wide, and there was a line of red words that read Zen girl.

So Shun insisted on Yao's abdication, and gave the position of Zen to Dayu, who combined destiny, virtue and talent and took the world as the public. At the age of 83, Shun recommended Yu as his successor. At the age of ninety-five, Zen was located in Yu, and Yu was the regent. On the first day of the first month of that year, Yu accepted Shun's abdication in the ancestral hall of Emperor Yao, just as Shun accepted Yao's abdication. Five years later, Shun was 100 years old, died in the field of Cangwu, was buried in the south of Cangwu Mountain, and traveled around the world.

When Shun's two concubines heard that Shun was dead, they came all the way to the Xiangjiang River and died in tears. Their souls have become the gods of Hunan water, and the world calls them "Xiang Jun" or "Mrs. Xiang". They shed tears for Shun Di on the bamboo, and dyed the bamboo into spots, which became today's "Spotted Bamboo", also known as "Xiaoxiang Bamboo" or "Flying Bamboo", which proved the unusual feelings and justice of history.
