But the fifth generation is a class, in the lower class of society, Shun's encounter is even more unfortunate, the father temporarily changed, is a self-person, the mother went to the wrong Pu Shi Rong police very early, the stepmother gave birth to a brother named Elephant, descended to live in the "father stubborn, motherly, elephant proud" family environment plastic, the father's heart is not right, the mother of the two sides and three knives, the younger brother is not used, several people Shen Tong, several times will be slightly put Shun to death after the fast, but the face to the parents do not lose the son, very filial piety, and the brother is very friendly, for many years as a day, there is no effect. When Shun's family wanted to harm him, he evaded in time: a little better, immediately return to them, and give them as much help as possible, so it is "want to kill, can not get: that is, to ask, will (often) be on the side" In such an unfortunate life, the environment is so problematic, Shun can show extraordinary virtues, handle family relations, which is a unique aspect of his legend.
Because of Shun's high moral character and high prestige in the folk, no matter where he went, people were willing to follow him. Soon, a village was formed around him. At that time, the leader of the tribal alliance, Yao, was old enough to choose an heir, and everyone elected Shun. Therefore, Yao married his two daughters, Emperor E and Lady Ying, to Shun, and sent people to serve him, observe his virtues, and let Shun manage hundreds of officials, observe his ability after examination, Yao found that Shun was a rare sage, and zen was located in Shun.
After Shun's reign, it is said that there were a series of major political actions, and he revised the calendar with great efforts to govern the weather, and held a great ceremony to worship the gods of heaven and earth and the gods of mountains and rivers; He also collected the letters of the princes, chose an auspicious day, summoned the princes and chiefs of various places, and held a solemn ceremony to re-issue the letters.

After this rectification, officials have clearly distinguished their duties and established brilliant achievements, and hundreds of industries have flourished.
In his old age, Shun, believing that his son Shang Jun was not good, determined that Yu, the most prestigious, was his successor, and Yu would take charge of the affairs. Shun, like Yao, is a saint king of Zen.
