Did Shun Di do anything important in the Five Emperors era?

The main deeds of Shun recorded in Yao Dian are: ordering Hou Ji to plant hundreds of grains on time; Digging ditches for irrigation; Dredge rivers and control floods; Declare five punishments and destroy the four murderous families. Shun knows that people are good at choosing capable people. For example, Shun appointed many official positions: he appointed Yu as an agent in charge of water and soil; Abandoned as Hou Ji, in charge of agriculture; Life contract to Stuart, in charge of the five major religions; Hao Tao was ordered to administer five punishments and so on. When Shun was the leader of the League, he did all the work well, creating a harmonious situation in ancient times, so Shun became the most powerful ally of the Central Plains.

After Shun proclaimed himself emperor, he solicited opinions from ministers such as Siyue, punished treacherous court officials and promoted talents. On the one hand, the * * * workers, Badger Dou and Sanmiao were exiled to the north, south and west respectively, and were shot in Yushan, so that the frontiers were all served and the nationalities were harmonious. On the other hand, he employed 22 sages, including Hao Tao, who made great achievements and prosperity in all fields. Among them, the most famous is Yu.

Shun Di is the originator of moral culture, and Shun culture is moral culture. "Historical Records" said: "The world is famous, starting from Yu Shun".

The soul of Shun Di's cultural spirit can be called "morality first, education second", and Shun culture is China culture in the historical period of transition from barbarism to civilization. Yan Di culture with farming culture as its connotation, Huangdi culture with political power culture as its connotation and Shun culture with moral culture as its connotation are isomorphic and constitute three milestones of China culture.
