China's first dynasty was the Xia Dynasty, before which it was the period of three emperors and five emperors, with Huang San in the front and five emperors in the back. According to "The Biography of Shangshu", Huang San was named as Suiren, Fuxi, Shennong and Huang San. Although there were many versions, each had his own Suiren, and Suiren was the first emperor of Huang San.
Almost all China people are descendants of Suiren. Sui Renshi's wife is Hua Xushi, his son is Fu, and his daughter is Nuwa. Then Fu married Nuwa's brother and sister and became the ancestors of China, including the descendants of Fu and Nuwa and the Yellow Emperor. However, the difference between Fu and Huangdi is more than 5,000 years, and the pedigree in the middle is fundamental.
The Five Emperors were headed by the Yellow Emperor. According to Dai's Dai Li Ji, the five emperors are: Huangdi, Zhuan Xu, Yao and Shun.
Huangdi 1
I only know that the father of the Yellow Emperor is Shao Dian, and Shao Dian has a son named Yan Di. They are half-brothers. Some history books say that Shao Dian is the son of Fu and Nu Wa, which I think is impossible. It is impossible to know that the time when the Yellow Emperor was located was thousands of years away from Fu and Nuwa.
The reign time of the Yellow Emperor was 10 1 year, from 2697 BC to 2597 BC, and the five thousand years of China were counted from the year when the Yellow Emperor ascended the throne. Today is 2697 +202 1 year =47 18 years. If the year when the Yellow Emperor ascended the throne is regarded as the Gregorian calendar year, then 20265433 is the AD.
Huangdi's wife is Lei Zu, and Huangdi Yi * * has 25 sons, including two official officers. The eldest son is Xu Anqi, also known as Qingyang, and the second is Changyi. After the death of the Yellow Emperor, his eldest son Xu Anqi acceded to the throne, also known as Shao Hao. Shao Hao reigned for 74 years. After his death in 2525 BC, Zhuan Xu succeeded him.
The lineage of the Yellow Emperor is: Suiren → Fuxi → (unclear in the middle) → Shaodian → Huangdi.
2. Continuation
Zhuan Xu is the son of Changyi, that is, Shao Hao's nephew. He was born in Ruoshui, the Yalong River, a tributary of Jinsha River in Sichuan today. Zhuan Xu's mother is the daughter of a family in Shushan, whose name is Chang Fu.
Zhuan Xu is very talented. According to historical records, Zhuan Xu reached Youling in the north, Jiao Jiao in the south, Panmu in the east and quicksand in the west. He fought everywhere and did not disobey orders. Zhuan Xu helped Shao Hao and defeated Gong Shi, who was vying for the throne, and became the leader of the Han tribe. Later, he became emperor in poor mulberry, which is today Shuyang County, Jiangsu Province.
Zhuan Xu is an accomplished leader. He invented the calendar and established Kyushu. In 78 years, Zhuan Xu died in 2437 BC. Zhuan Xu chose Di Ku as his heir before he died.
Zhuan Xu's lineage is: Shaodian → Huangdi → Changyi → Zhuan Xu.
3. Di Ku (Ku)
Di Ku's name is Ji Jun, he is the son of Gao E, and Gao E is the son of Xuanji. That is to say, Di Ku is Zhuan Xu's nephew, so the mercy returned to Shao Hao of Xuanqi Department. Di Ku was born in Gaoxin (now Shangqiu City, Henan Province), so he is also called Gaoxin.
Legend has it that Di Ku called his name when he was born. /kloc-at the age of 0/5, he was named Xin Hou and began to assist his uncle Zhuan Xu. Di Ku was very clever and respected by people, so he was chosen as the heir. Di Ku reigned for 70 years and died in 2367 BC. After his death, Di Ku's eldest son Di Zhi became the heir.
Di Ku's lineage is: Shaodian → Huangdi → Xu Anqi → Gaoji → Di Ku.
4. Tang Yao
After Di Ku's death, his eldest son Di Zhi became the heir, and Di Zhi succeeded for 9 years. Because of his mediocre ability and no achievements, he gave the throne to his younger brother Fang Xun. It's Yao. Yao is the second son. Yao was also known as the Tang Dynasty (now Taiyuan, Shanxi) in his early years.
There are two main reasons why Yao became emperor: one is his extraordinary virtue, and the other is his high ability. These are two criteria for ancient tribal alliances to choose their successors. Yao just meets these two standards, and the emperor can't, so he can only abdicate. Yao reigned for 72 years and died in 2286 BC. When Yao was in office, most of his energy was spent on flood control, and at the same time, he searched everywhere for talents who could control floods. Yao also invented it.
Yao has a son named. Before Yao died, a man named recommended to inherit Yao's position, but Yao disagreed, thinking that he had a bad temper and could not use it. Others recommend * * * workers, and Yao thinks * * * workers are useless. Then someone recommended a gun. Yao felt that the gun was against his destiny and still could not be used. Finally, someone recommended Shun.
The lineage of Yao is: Shaodian → Huangdi → Xu Anqi → Gaoji → Di Ku → Yao.
5. Yu Shun
Shun is Yao's surname, Zhong Hua, so he is also called Yu Shun. Shun was born in a civilian family, and his father's name is blind. Shun's mother died when he was very young and later married a wife. Obedience is persecuted by the stepmother and the stepmother's son, but obedience doesn't matter. Instead, he was filial to his parents and loved his younger brother, which was praised by the people at that time.
Shun was recommended to Yao for his virtue. In order to investigate Shun, Yao married his two daughters, and at the same time made Shun the first of all officials, while Yao secretly investigated Shun. Finally, Yao thought that Shun was a qualified heir, so he gave the throne to Shun, who became the successor to Yao.
Shun reigned for 33 years, then gave the throne to Yu, who was good at water control. 17 years later, he died in 2225 BC.
Shun's father was a civilian, but his ancestors were not simple. Shun is Zhuan Xu's sixth grandson, and his lineage is:
Huangdi → Changyi → Zhuan Xu → Qiong Chan → Jingkang → Wang Ju → Niuniu → Gu Sou → Shun.
6. Yu Xia
Yu's mother is Xin, and his father is Gun. He once helped Emperor Yao to control water, but he didn't succeed. At the same time, Yao thought that Gun violated his destiny and didn't hire him, but Gun's son was very capable. He changed his father's method of water control, focusing on dredging. At the same time, Yu traveled all over China for water control, but didn't enter the house three times.
It was also because of Yu's ability to control water that he was chosen as the heir by Shun. Because Yu's surname is Xia, Yu is also called. In 45 years in office. After his death, Yu's son Qi succeeded to the throne and established the Xia Dynasty. Yu's lineage is:
Huangdi → Changyi → Zhuan Xu → Gun Zeng → Gun Father → Gun Yu.
Therefore, in terms of bloodline, the five emperors after the Yellow Emperor are all descendants of the Yellow Emperor, and they are related by blood, far or near. At that time, although the five emperors implemented the abdication system, it was a special abdication system based on blood relationship. That is to choose people with both ability and political integrity among relatives who are related by blood. For example, Zhuan Xu, one of the five emperors, was the nephew of the last emperor Shao Hao, while Di Ku was the nephew of the last emperor Zhuan Xu.
Although Yu Shun came from a civilian background, he was also after the Yellow Emperor, and so was Yu Xia, so we are all descendants of the Chinese people.
