1. Pangu: The god who created the world and first appeared in the Eastern Han mythology book "San Wu Li Nian Ji".
He not only created heaven and earth, but also became incarnate before his death and accomplished all things.
Judging from his original appearance, Pangu was in a position that was unprecedented and unprecedented. He had neither ancestors, relatives, descendants, nor wives or concubines.
Later, after he became the real person Pangu, the God Creator provided him with family members, children and grandchildren.
2. Fuxi and Nuwa: Fuxi is said to be the Chinese Sun God, the son of the Thunder God, and later the Eastern Prince.
It stands to reason that as the Prince of the East, his wife should be the Queen Mother of the West, but at first Fuxi was a bachelor who taught people how to weave nets for fishing, make musical instruments, and achieve miracles in marriage.
Later, he was said to be Dongfang Emperor Taihao, one of the five emperors who appeared with the Yellow Emperor.
After the Han Dynasty, the god creators gradually paired him with Nuwa.
Nuwa, the most famous female god in ancient China.
There are magical powers such as mending the sky, creating humans, transforming gods, making musical instruments, matching marriages, etc. After the Han Dynasty, those who were created gods were married as Fuxi women.
3. Shennong, Emperor Yan: Emperor Yan, also known as Shennong.
Shaohao's mother was Huang'e, her eldest son Jumang, the God of Spring, and her second son Lingshou, the God of Autumn.
His daughter Nvwa (later transformed into the Jingwei bird), and a younger daughter whose name is unknown.
Shennong is probably the main god who appeared in the farming era.
His magical powers include burning mountains to cultivate fields, sowing grains, and tasting hundreds of medicines and whipping hundreds of herbs to determine the medicinal properties. Later, he was regarded as a god who merged with Yan Emperor. He was named Yan Emperor and Shenlong.
In the name of Emperor Yan, he became the spiritual leader of the Chinese nation.
He has half-mother or half-father blood relationship with Huangdi.
As the Southern Heavenly Emperor, he became a member of the Five-Fang Emperor Group with Huangdi as the core.
Later, he led and deployed Chi You and others to fight a battle between the gods and the Yellow Emperor that will go down in history.
4. The Yellow Emperor and his Five-Fang Emperor Group: The Yellow Emperor can be regarded as the core of the first generation of leadership of the ancient Chinese Kingdom of God.
Turns out to be a thunder god.
Because he was the victor in the Five Emperors War, he became the central emperor of the Five Emperors Group, which also meant that he was the first leader.
Another spiritual leader of the Chinese nation.
It is said that the emperor later became an immortal.
The members of the Five Emperors include, in addition to the Eastern Emperor Taihao and the Southern Emperor Yandi, there are also the Western Emperor Shaohao and the Northern Emperor Zhuanxu.
Among them, Shaohao was originally the main god of the Eastern Kingdom. Later, he may have been defeated by the people who believed in the Yellow Emperor, or it may have been the need to establish the Five Emperors. He was moved to the West and was said to be the son of the Yellow Emperor and became the Emperor of the West.
Zhuanxu was the emperor of the north.
Some ancient books say that he is the great-grandson of Huangdi, and some ancient books say that he is the grandson of Huangdi. However, whether he is a great-grandson or a grandson, there is a blood relationship between Zhuanxu and Huangdi.
The gods of the Huangdi era: Lu Wu, Yingzhao, Li Zhu, Jin Jia Shen, Chi You, Feng Boyu Shi, Chi Songzi, Limu, Shenhuang, Fenghou, Yinglong, Bao, Kuafu, Hercules Kua'eshi
, Dating clan, Wulong clan.
5. Houji: also known as abandoned.
His mother, Jian, was inspired to conceive him. Later, he was thrown into the wilderness many times, and he was protected by the gods many times, showing extraordinary divinity.
Hou Ji is a god of agriculture who came to the world with seeds and taught the people to sow. Therefore, some people say that he is the son of "Lieshan clan", and this Lieshan clan is Shennong Yandi; in other words, Hou Ji is said to be Shennong.
The son of Emperor Yan.
However, in "Historical Records", Tai Shigong arranged another father for him.
On the one hand, Sima Qian said that his mother, Jiang Yuan, gave birth to him because of the emperor's presence. On the other hand, he also said that Jiang Yuan was Emperor Ku's concubine. It can be seen that Emperor Ku was Hou Ji's father.
Emperor Ku was also the great-grandson of the Yellow Emperor. In this way, Hou Ji was linked to the Yellow Emperor.
6. Yao: The great-great-grandson of the Yellow Emperor, another son of Emperor Ku, also known as Fangxun, and his wife the empress.
According to textual research, the name Yao and the beautiful talk about the abdication system came from the Mohists of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. Before that, there was no god Yao.
According to "records" in "Historical Records", when Yao was dying, he was faced with the choice of passing the throne to an outsider or to his own son Danzhu. Yao finally refused to benefit one person by taking advantage of the world's ills and passed his power to Shun.
Thus he became the first generation of holy kings to implement the abdication system.
7. Shun: The seventh grandson of the Yellow Emperor, his surname was Yao, his given name was Chonghua, his wife was Ehuang, and she was a female ying.
Before Shun was born, Huangdi's tribe had long been reduced to common people.
Because of Shun's virtue, especially his kindness towards his stepmother and half-brother Xiang, Emperor Yao not only married his two daughters to Shun, but also finally passed the throne to him.
Shun also passed the throne to Yu, who was a virtuous man rather than a descendant, and became the second generation of holy kings to implement the abdication system.
8. Yu: The great-great-grandson of the Yellow Emperor, his father Gun, his wife Jiao and his daughter, also known as the Tushan family, are nine-tailed white fox spirits.
According to seniority, Yu was older than Shun, but Yu was a minister under Shun.
Following Shun's orders, the son inherited his father's legacy and built mountains and rivers, finally completing his father Gun's unfinished business.
Yu carried forward the glorious tradition of his late emperors and passed down the virtuous rather than relatives, and became the third generation of holy kings to implement the abdication system.
