Nurture the people, and his virtue lingling - the emperor of the five emperors

The Yellow Emperor and Changzu had two sons, one xuanhuo and the other Changyi. Gao Yang, the son of Changyi, was Emperor Huan, the son of Xuan Huan was Yu Ji, and the son of Yu Ji was Gao Xin, who was Emperor Zhao.

Emperor Gaoxin was a great-grandson of the Yellow Emperor and a cousin of Emperor Huang.

Emperor Gaoxin was born very intelligent and was able to speak his name. In fact, this is the usual means used in ancient texts, which gives a certain mythological color to the birth of some great people, making them more legendary, and making people feel that the existence of these people is the destiny of heaven.

Emperor Gaoxin was already very capable, and at the age of 15, he assisted his cousin Emperor Huan to govern the various tribes, and was enfeoffed with Yuxin for his merits.

After Emperor Huan's death, Gao Xin succeeded him. After Gao Xin took charge of the tribal alliances and became the co-lord of the world, he was able to give grace and benefit all things, but he did not think about his own interests at all, regardless of personal gains and losses; he was intelligent and wise, able to see everything; he was able to observe things in detail, and he could shine in the shadows. And they can conform to the righteousness of the world and understand the sufferings of the people. He was kind and majestic, benevolent and trustworthy, and paid great attention to his own self-cultivation, so the world was not obedient. He did not splurge on large quantities of goods, but used them sparingly, in order to teach the people that the root of their profits lay.

Before the Emperor, although people had the concept of four seasons, they were only working at sunrise and resting at sunset. There is no specific seasonal order for engaging in agricultural affairs, which also seriously restricts agricultural production. Since then, Di Zhao has explored the laws of celestial phenomena and phenology, divided the four solar terms according to the operation of the sun and the moon, and engaged in agricultural production accordingly, opening a new era for agricultural civilization.

As the leader of the world, and with such achievements, The Emperor zhao did not have arrogance and pride, but still had a humble and courteous face, noble moral character, elegant manners, and simple clothing. His kindness has always been impartial and beneficial to the whole world, so the world returns to its heart.

Emperor Zhao was respected by the people of the world, so Sima Qian had a high opinion of him: "Gao Xin was born a god and claimed his name. Pushi li, not in its body. Wisdom to know the distance, clear to observe the micro. The righteousness of heaven, the urgency of knowing the people. Benevolence and might, favor and faith, self-cultivation and obedience. Take the wealth of the land and use it sparingly, care for the people and benefit it, welcome it with the sun and the moon, and honor the gods and gods. Its color is lush, its virtue is rugged. When it moves, its service is also a soldier. The emperor is in charge of the world, the sun and the moon shine, the wind and rain come, and he does not obey. ”
