Luoyang, a historical and cultural city with a history of more than 5,000 years of civilization, more than 4,000 years of city history and more than 1,500 years of capital construction history, has created countless legends of Chinese civilization. "Shannanshui north is yang", Luoyang is named because it is located in the sun of Luoshui, and the Heluo area centered on Luoyang is the birthplace of ancient Chinese civilization. The ruins of the five major capitals of Xia Du, Shang Du Xi Bo, Eastern Zhou Wangcheng, Han Wei Luoyang City, and Sui and Tang Luoyang City are lined up along the Luo River, which is rare in the world. More than a hundred emperors ruled here. Today, let's talk about the Emperor Gaoxin clan.
Emperor Zhao (ku) Mei, surname Jiang, name Zhao Mei, also known as Jun, great-grandson of the Yellow Emperor, grandfather Xuan Huan, father toad pole, mother to hold the pants. Honorific title Di Zhao,Gao Xin (高辛氏), was the first emperor of the Gao Xin clan regime during the era of the Chinese clan alliance. Born in Gaoxin (historically known as Gaoxin), he is said to be the great-grandson of the Yellow Emperor, the leader of the tribal alliance in ancient China, the Gaoxin Emperor, and the third emperor of the Five Ancient Emperors. Former Chengyan Huang and later Qi Yao Shun were a crucial historical figure in the process of social development during the Five Emperors period of China. Zhao Mei claimed the throne as emperor at Wild Fox (野狐, in present-day southwest of Yichuan County, Luoyang, Henan) and established the regime of Emperor Gaoxin. Zhao Mei (Emperor Zhao) entered the imperial government at the age of fifteen, took the throne at the age of thirty, reigned for twenty-seven years, and died at the age of fifty-six. After his death, his body was buried in the Tomb of Emperor Dunqiu (present-day North of Huaxian County, Anyang, Henan), with the imperial title of Zhao Mei (喾美) and the honorific title of Emperor Gaoxin (喾高辛氏).
Emperor Zhao was brilliant and wise, when he was 10 years old, the Jiuli clan, who had been conquered by the southern Zhenyi area during the Yellow Emperor's reign, rebelled, and emperor sent troops to conquest many times, while the Jiuli tribes rebelled in turn, and after a long period of logging, the group of ministers had no way to do anything, Emperor Zhao entered the dynasty with his grandfather, and offered a counter-plan, so that the Nine Li tribes were at odds with each other, mutual suspicion, contradictions, and civil strife. Emperor Huan calmed down Jiuli one by one. Emperor Xiangxiang of the 11th Emperor Huan dynasty enfeoffed him at Gaoxin (高辛; in present-day Gaoping, southeast of Hua County, Anyang, Henan). The fiefdom of the Emperor Gaoxin clan was flooded, and Zhao Mei had to lead her people back to the higher-lying Iloilo region. Zhao Mei led the various tribes (tribes) in the Iloilo region to the east, attacking the rebellious Gonggong clan, and the Gonggong clan was defeated. At this time, the Zhao dynasty had completely declined, and the great chiefs of the major tribes in the Central Plains jointly elected Zhao Mei as emperor. Zhao Mei Dingdu Wild Fox (野狐, in present-day southwest of Yichuan County, Luoyang, Henan) established the regime of Emperor Gaoxin.
In the era when Emperor Zhao lived, the people were generally obsessed with witchcraft, and the people gave all their belongings to the shamans (including witches and witches) to sacrifice to the gods and ghosts on their behalf, and absolve themselves of their sins, just like gambling now, with no return. Ordinary people's lives have no place to live. Almost formed the phenomenon of family sacrifice, everyone worships the gods, wizards through a certain accumulation, more and more power, the whole society more and more smoke miasma, wizards began to interfere in the authority of tribal leaders, the pressure of the emperor is increasing. Emperor Zhao thought about it and standardized the power of the people to sacrifice important gods and ghosts between heaven and earth, that is, to take the right of sacrifice into the hands of the ruler, and ordered the two brothers Zhong and Li to sacrifice heaven and earth instead of him. Folk sacrifices are all prohibited. Since then, the people have returned to a state of living and working in peace and contentment.
During the imperial period, many different groups of labor emerged, and a detailed division of labor appeared. Such as farmers, fishermen, herders, potters, carpenters, masons, metallurgists, weavers, soldiers, entertainers and so on. According to different industries, Emperor Zhao successively set up different management agencies, and appointed eight good helpers for governing the country, such as Bo Fen, Zhongkan, Shu Xian, Ji Zhong, Hu Bo, Zhong Xiong, Shu Leopard, and Ji Beaver, so that all sectors of society could be orderly. During the reign of emperor Zhao, the class differentiation of social groups was more pronounced, and many tribal chiefs and aristocratic families also had different numbers of domestic slaves. Emperor Zhao explored the laws of celestial phenomena and phenological changes, divided into four seasons, and guided people to engage in agricultural and livestock activities according to the seasons, and the agricultural civilization entered a new era. Di Zhe was also a music lover, making many musical instruments and organizing everyone to sing and dance together.
