Where is Shun from?

Shun was born in Puban, Yaodu (now yongji city). His surname is Yao and his surname is Yu. His name is Zhong Hua and his nickname is Shun. He is the ninth grandson of Emperor Xuanyuan and the leader of the tribal alliance in the late patriarchal society in ancient China. Shun was honored as the emperor by later generations and included in the "Five Emperors". Historically known as Shun Di, Yu Shun and Shun Di, it was later called Shun. Gui Man, a descendant of Shun Di XIII, was made king by Zhou Wuwang and established the State of Chen in Chendi.

One of the three emperors and five emperors. Shun, the leader of the four-nation alliance, proclaimed himself emperor because of Yao's abdication. His year number is "Yu", so he is called "Emperor Shun of Yu", and later generations call it "Shun" for short, and the Chinese nation is of the same clan. He is not only one of the founders of China's morality, but also an important founder of Chinese civilization.

Extended data:

The Five Emperors refer to five gods, which later evolved into five tribal leaders in ancient China legends. Huangdi, Zhuan Xu, Di Ku, Tang Yao and Yu Shun are listed as Five Emperors in Shiben, Daidaiji and Wudi Shiji. In the Book of Rites, Tai Sui (Fuxi), Yan Di (Shennong), Huangdi, Shaodi and Zhuan Xu are the five emperors; Shao Hao, Zhuan Xu, (Di Ku), and Yu Shun are called the Five Emperors in Records of the Historian Kings.

Since the Qin Dynasty, China has integrated and unified sacrificial ceremonies. It is said that the tradition of "offering sacrifices to five gods" and "mountains and rivers" began with Qin Shihuang, ending the chaotic situation. The Qin dynasty was just a simple merger, because many magicians participated in the formulation of sacrificial ceremonies, and the gods were superstitious. When offering sacrifices, the level is still very chaotic, and Mount Tai is the most important. Cattle are used to sacrifice mountains and rivers, and horses are used to sacrifice gods. Like the second generation of Zhou Jian, the horses in Qin Dynasty were noble and "first class".
