Ancient China was too far away, so I started with Yao Shunyu, which is also a real and effective era of historical verification, and began my first lesson in history
—— Yao, because it was sealed in Tang Bai, it was called "Tang Yao". Since the Yellow Emperor, three tribal alliance leaders with both moral integrity and ability have emerged in the Yellow River Valley. Legend has it that Yao, also known as Tao Tangshi, originated in Yuncheng and Linfen (ancient name Hedong) in the Fenhe River Valley, Shanxi, and his life was very simple, and the ancient book said that he "did not cut Maozi, picked rafters and did not cut, the food of rice, the soup of quinoa, the winter fur, and the summer geyi", that is, he lived in a simple house built with unhed thatched reeds and unpolished rafters, ate coarse grains, drank wild vegetable soup, covered with deer skins in winter, and wore a very thick linen coat in summer.

- Shun, because of the establishment of the du state in Yu, is called Yu Shun or Yu Zhi clan. Shun, also known as Yu Shi, was born in Yao Xu. Legend has it that when he was inspected by Yao before succeeding Yao as the leader of the tribal community, he found that Shun was strict with himself and generous to others. At the time of Yao Shun, a terrible flood occurred, and Shun took the world as his duty and led the people to control floods and develop production, which was highly praised. He had been framed several times by his stepmother and half-brother, but fortunately, his virtuous wife's clever plan enabled him to turn the danger into a disaster, take the world as his duty, lead the people to control the flood, and develop production, which was highly praised. Due to the good governance of Yao, Shun, and Yu, the society at that time achieved great development, and they were also respected as sages by posterity. During Shun's reign, he was strict with himself, developed production, and also found a capable successor, Yu, who was revered as Emperor Shun.

—— Yu , surnamed Xia Daohou ( 夏dao後氏 ), commonly known as Xia Yu ( 夏禹 ) , was a custom of taking the state as a clan in the pre-Qin period. Yu is serious and respectful, illuminating the four directions, distinguishing between the top and the bottom, and can unite the clans, so that the clans are united as a family and live in harmony. Simple for people, eat coarse rice, drink wild vegetable soup, naturally get the love of the people. He was a sage emperor with the same name as Yao and Shun in the ancient Chinese legendary era, and his most outstanding merit was the ancient glorification of the flood, and the demarcation of China as Kyushu. Later generations called him Dayu. Later, honored as Dayu, he was the grandson of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan clan, who obtained the throne through the Zen concession system, and is said to be the leader of the Xia Hou clan, and was the founder of the Chinese slavery system who inherited his father's throne. In addition, Yu is a Chinese surname, and he is an outstanding leader of the Xia tribe that entered the Central Plains from the northwest.
In order to control the flood, Dayu has been fighting with the people outside for many years, ignoring personal interests and "passing through the door three times without entering.". Dayu exhausted his efforts and physical strength to control the water, and finally completed the great cause of controlling the water. Because Dayu Ping ruled the world, the world presented a peaceful and peaceful scene, "the world is at peace, and the people are fine." Dayu was also revered as the most famous Saint King of China for his eminent merits and personality.

Overall, future generations have a high opinion of them. If we look at Confucius's comments on Yao Shunyu separately, we can see that his evaluation of the Three Saints is still slightly different: from "DaZai Yaozhi is Junye", to "He who rules without doing anything, his Shun is also with", and then to "Yu, I am inseparable". It can be seen that in the eyes of Confucius, Yao is the most noble, only he can be compared with heaven; Shun is second, can achieve "rule by doing nothing"; Yu is second, "infernal", Confucius believes that his reign is impeccable.
