Since Pangu opened the world, the Three Emperors and Five Emperors have come to this day. This sentence is a minimalist history of my China. The history of several decades is called modern history, corresponding to the People's Republic of China, one hundred to two hundred years is called modern history since the Opium War, the period of the old democratic revolution and the new democratic revolution, two hundred years to a thousand years is the ancient history, corresponding to the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, a thousand years to two thousand years is called medieval history, corresponding to the Qin, Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties and Tang Five Dynasties, two thousand years to four thousand years is called ancient history, corresponding to the Xia Shang Zhou, the Three Kings period, four thousand years to fifteen thousand years for ancient history, corresponding to the Five Emperors period. The history of more than 15,000 years is the history of Taikoo, corresponding to the Three Emperors period.
China is the only country in the world that has preserved historical texts written by people for hundreds of years. The earliest book documenting Chinese history is the Book of Shang The Book of Shangshu is the earliest compilation of historical documents in ancient China. At the earliest it was called the Book, and in the Han Dynasty it was called the Book of Shang, which means "Book of the Ancients". Later, there were "Zhou Yi", "Spring and Autumn", and "Shi Ji". There is the "Five Emperors Benji" in the historical record, there is no Three Emperors Benji, and Sima Zhen of the Tang Dynasty supplemented the "Three Emperors Benji". The five emperors written in the "Chronicle of History" are the Yellow Emperor, Emperor Huan, Emperor Zhao, Yao, and Shun. The "Three Emperors Benji" wrote about the Fuxi clan, the Nuwa clan, and the Shennong clan.
We are recognized as the descendants of Yanhuang, the Second Emperor of Yanhuang is the conclusive, the Yellow Emperor is the Xuanyuan clan, the Ji surname, the Yandi is the Shennong clan, and the Jiang surname. Since it is called Emperor Yan, it cannot be listed as one of the three emperors, it should be one of the five emperors. Then the history should write the Six Emperors, plus the Yan Emperor, that is, the Three Emperors and Six Emperors. The Three Emperors Honji is even more wrong, writing Emperor Yan as one of the Three Emperors. It is equivalent to writing the general as a marshal. So what is an emperor and what is an emperor, and what are the subsequent series of imperial titles?
What is an emperor? The Emperor, the Light Also, the Great Also, the Beginning also. Brilliant also, heaven also. Miya, Masaya. God also, the Maharajah also, the first king also, the first Lord also. In modern parlance, great, glorious, correct, noble, original imperial monarch. Is the first level of tall.
The second level is the Emperor, the Creator, the Heavenly Emperor, the God, the First King, and the Heavenly God. The Shuowen Jiezi (說文解字) says: "Emperor, Truth." The number of the king of the world also. "Emperor" is derived from the Heavenly Emperor and the Heavenly God to refer to the people in the human world who control and control the power of tribes and countries, such as "Yao, Shun", and the emperor has the meaning of power and hegemony, such as "empire". Emperor and emperor were called three emperors and five emperors, and Qin Shi Huang began to call himself emperor, such as "Qin Emperor Han Wu".
The third rank is the king, who is inferior to the emperor's merits, and the one with weaker morality is the king. Mainly morality, such as Dayu Zhishui, the merit is not small, but compared with Yao Shunyi, it is a little worse, mainly because his son Qi did not abide by the rules of Zen Rang, he inherited the throne, if according to the contribution, it should be in accordance with the agreement to pass the throne to Bo Yi, who contributed the most at that time. The Son of Heaven of Xia Shang Zhou could only be called king.
The fourth level is the later, "after" and "after", which has existed in ancient times. The word "hou" originally referred to the monarch and by extension referred to "the wife and concubine of the monarch"; the word "hou" means before and after and after. Such as Hou Tu, Hou Yi, Hou Ji, because of the relationship between Nuwa, the creation of the earth is Hou Tu, and it is also the spouse of the Fuxi Emperor, and later refers specifically to the emperor's spouse, the empress, Lü Hou, and The Empress Wu. Write the latter in reverse and give a new pronunciation to si. This is because the Xia royal family was born in the "Sikong" family and was one of the "Qunsi" (Sikong, Situ, Sima and Siji, etc.), in order to show that future generations did not dare to be ranked with emperor Dayu, so the mirror image of "Si" was used as a self-deprecating title. "Si" has the meaning of "the son inherits the father's business", and "Hou" also has the same meaning, which is in line with the xia hou clan's concept of "family world". Later, there was a marquis in the title, which came from the queen. Hou Tu and Hou Ji evolved into Sheji, Jiangshan Sheji, Hou Tu as the god of Society, Hou Ji as Ji God, She as the god of land, and Ji as the head of the five grains. Grain, millet. In Beijing, there is an altar of sacrifice sheji, which is juxtaposed with the Temple of Heaven, the Temple of Earth, the Temple of The Sun, and the Temple of the Moon.
The fifth level is Bo, Hebo, Fengbo, Qibo, Boyi, the local king or god of the professional region, which now evolves into the meaning of boss, big brother. Hou hebo mostly represents the immortals, the famous Yellow River Bo Feng Yi, Luoshen Fu has the sentence "Feng Yi dances, Nuwa Qingge", Hebo's wife is the most wonderful part of "Ximen Leopard Zhiyi", from the "History of Funny Biography", the emperor no longer uses it. The eldest son of the family is called Bo, and Uncle Ji is used for the age ranking of the family, which means one-two-three-four-five. Princes can be knighted of the fifth rank, and among the five lords are counts, and the five lords are the male sons of the dukes. Bo had the meaning of controlling power, and later evolved into the hegemony, the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemony, and the Western Chu Overlord.
The sixth rank is Gong, the emperor's sons or great meritorious servants are crowned as Gong, such as Zhou Gong, Jiang Taigong, Zhao Gong, such as Qi Huan Gong of the Spring and Autumn Five Powers, Jin Wen Gong, Song Xiang Gong, Qin Mu Gong. Sangong is the collective name of the three most prominent official positions in ancient China. Books such as the Book of Rites think that the Three Dukes refer to Sima ( 司馬 ), Situ ( 司图 ), and Sikong (司空). According to the Zhou Li, ancient scholars believed that Taishi, Taifu, and Taibao were the three dukes. In the "Yan Zhao Gong Family" in the "Records of History", it is recorded that "when he became king, he summoned the king as three dukes: from the west of Shaanxi, summoned the princess; from the east of Shaanxi, the princess of Zhou." That is to say, with Shaanxi as the boundary, the east belongs to the Zhou Gong of the Three Dukes, and the west belongs to the Zhao Gong of the Three Dukes. Jiang Taigong, who was named Taishi (太師), had the power to go around in place of Zhou Tianzi. After the Qin Dynasty unified the world, it re-established the Three Dukes. The three dukes of the Qin Dynasty were the "three dukes" of the "Three Dukes and Nine Secretaries", namely the Chancellor, the Taiwei, and the Imperial Shi Dafu, who were in charge of administrative power, military power, and supervision power.
The seventh rank is jun, and the sons or great meritorious servants of the princes are crowned as kings, such as Shang Jun, Chun Shen Jun, Xin Ling Jun, Ping Yuan Jun, and Meng Yu Jun. "Jun" on the "Yin", down "mouth", Yin is like holding a scepter in his hand, the original meaning is governance; the mouth table gives orders. The upper and lower combinations represent the common name of the rulers at all levels above the ancient doctor who owned the land. Xunzi Lishu: "The King, the Lord of Discernment." "The monarch of a nation, that is, the supreme ruler." Ancient emperors advocated the rule of inaction, and specific matters were handled by their subordinates, and these people who presided over specific affairs were "kings". The king represents a noble position, so a person with a high position is called a gentleman. Later, it was extended to a person of high morals, a gentleman artificial. Later, between folk couples and friends, they were called Jun, "Zou Ji Satirized Qi Wang Na Zhi" "Junmei Even, Xu Gong He Neng and Jun Ye", Li Bai's "Will Enter the Wine" "A Song with Jun Song Please Listen to Jun for Me", Teresa Teng Lijun, "He Rijun will come again".
The eighth level is the Lord, and the king of The Partial Peace is also called the Lord, such as Li Yu, the Lord of Li Hou, Zhuge Liang is called the Lord of Liu Bei, and the Later Translation of islamic Classics translates allah, the supreme god of Islam, as Allah. Christianity calls Jesus Lord. The ancient character image has the appearance of a fire in the lamp, which is the first text of "炷". For the lamp, the fire is the most important, so the extension refers to the most basic and prominent, and by extension refers to the monarch, and by extension to the person who has the right to belong to the slave or servant, and by extension to the person concerned. Lord is also used as a verb, meaning to bear primary responsibility, that is, to be in charge and preside. First, the ancient character of the Lord resembles the tablet of the Lord, which by extension refers to the monarch, and can also be extended to "the head of the head". It also refers to the parent, the head of the family.
Finally answer the question of the question: Who are the real Three Emperors and Five Emperors? Since the founding of the world, from the Pangu clan, the Emperor clan, the Dihuang clan, the Taihuang clan, the Chao clan, the Furen clan, the Fuxi clan, the Shennong clan Yandi, the Xuanyuan clan Yellow Emperor, the Qingyang clan Hu Emperor, the Gaoyang clan Emperor Huan, the Jin Tianshi Zhi Emperor, the Gaoxin Clan Emperor, the Tao Tang Clan Yao Emperor, the Youyu Clan Shun Emperor, and the Xia Hou Clan Dayu, the accumulated results are called Chinese culture. The Way of the Three Emperors, all the descendants of the Pangu clan to Dayu, who have been nourished by Chinese culture and the Way of the Three Emperors, are called "descendants of the dragon", "descendants of Yanhuang" and "descendants of China".
The Pangu clan is unique, pioneering the world, the Emperor of heaven and earth, the Emperor Tai is the Upper Three Emperors, there are the Chao Fu Xi people as the Lower Three Emperors, Yan Huang to Yao Shun as the Eight Emperors, and later generations in order to make up the number of five elements from the Lower Three Emperors and the Eight Emperors, called the Five Emperors, Qing, Chi, White, Black, Yellow Five Emperors, Eastern Qing Emperor Fu Xi Taihao, Southern Red Emperor Yan Emperor, Western White Emperor Shao hao, Northern Xuan Emperor Huan, each of the Five Emperors has a deputy assistant, Eastern Jurman, Southern Zhu Rong, Western Bedding Harvest, Northern Gonggong, Central Houtu.
