The Yellow Emperor toured the human tribes in the wild for several years and finally inspected all the tribes before returning to the tribe and thinking that he had done what he should do. He wanted to seek the art of immortality, so he rode the clouds to Jiuhua Mountain. When he arrived at Mount Jiuhua, Qingguan asked Qingxu about the art of immortality. Qingxu said, "Since you ruled the world, the clouds will not gather, the rain will not wither, and the grass and trees will wither." The brilliance of the sun and moon became increasingly scarce. And how can you let me talk to you about the Tao when the sycophant's heart has become enlightened? After the Yellow Emperor came back, he no longer cared about political affairs. I built a hut and put a mat in it, where I reflected for three months. Then he went to Qingxu and asked. At that time, Qingxu was lying with his head facing south. Huangdi came to him on his knees and asked him how to live forever. Qingxu stood up and said, "It's very good here!" Then he told him the essence of the Tao: the essence of the Tao steals secretly, and reaches the extreme of the Tao, where it is faint and silent. Ignore, listen, and remain calm. Only when the shape is straightened out must it be still and clear; only when there is no laborious makeup, no shaking makeup essence, can one live forever. The eyes can see nothing, the ears can hear nothing, and the heart cannot know anything. Only by combining these divine forms can one live forever.
Huangdi asked Qingxu and then climbed up Wangwu Mountain to obtain the Alchemy Sutra. And asked Xuannv and Liang about the method of cultivating Taoism and keeping in good health. Huangdi was also grateful for the kindness of Qingxu's teachings, so he moved the place of Qingxu sacrifice from Shangqing Temple and built a separate Qingxu Temple for sacrifice. Qingxu also took the opportunity to appear in various tribes of the ancient human race to do some rescue work. The name of Jiejiao gradually spread throughout the human tribe. After Huangdi established his own view of emotions, he returned to Jinyuntang to practice. Decades later, Huangdi wrote "Yin Fu Jing", "Huangdi Taiyi Eight Gates Entering the Forms", "Huangdi Taiyi Eight Gates Entering the Forms", "Huangdi Taiyi Eight Gates Rebellious Life and Death Secrets," and other books Finally, one day, Master Xuandu came from Dachitian and told the Yellow Emperor that after his merits and deeds were completed, he should pass on the throne of human emperor. Then he went to Huoyun Cave to repair it. When the Yellow Emperor heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly passed the throne to his grandson Gaoyang. This is why Emperor Zhuanxu. Just after the Yellow Emperor passed on the throne of the Human Emperor to Emperor Zhuanxu, the two Holy Emperors Fuxi and Shen Nong came down from the sky on a dragon chariot and said to the Yellow Emperor with a smile: "Congratulations to the emperor for his successful meritorious deeds and successful attainment of the throne of the Human Emperor." After saying that, they gave way. Half of the seats were occupied and Huang Di was invited to sit in the dragon chariot with him. The Yellow Emperor saluted and said, "I'm really scared to trouble you two royal brothers to come here." After saying that, he boarded the dragon chariot and flew to the Fire Cloud Cave thirty-three days away with Fuxi and Shennong. Just when Huangdi boarded the Dragon Boat Festival and flew towards the Fire Cloud Cave, something flew out of Huangdi's arms and flew towards Jiuhua Mountain. At the same time, a stream of merit will fall on Qingxu from Jiuhua Mountain, making the golden wheel of merit behind Qingxu's head become brighter and brighter.
Leizu gave birth to two sons for the Yellow Emperor's concubine. One of them, Xuanxiao, came to live in the river for Qingyang Qingyang; the other, Changyi, came to live in Ruoshui. Zhuanxu Gaoyang was the grandson of Huangdi and the son of Changyi. He is calm, steady, resourceful, and knowledgeable. He raised various crops and livestock to make full use of the soil, calculated the four seasons, complied with nature, obeyed the ghosts and gods, formulated etiquette and rationalized the Qi of the four seasons and five elements, taught all people to cleanse their bodies and minds, and offered sacrifices to the ghosts and gods. He went north to Youling, south to Jiaozhi, west to Liusha, and east to Panmu. All kinds of animals and plants, big gods and small gods, wherever the sun and moon shined, were all pacified, and there was no one who failed to submit.
After Zhuan Xu died, Gao Xin, Xuan Xiao's grandson, became the emperor. Gao Xin was born with great aura and called out his name as soon as he was born. He generally bestows favor on everyone but not himself. His ears and eyes are sharp and he can understand distant situations and discern subtle things. He complied with the will of God and understood the concerns of the people. Be benevolent, dignified, gentle and trustworthy, cultivate yourself and the world will be subdued. He collects the products of the land and uses them frugally; he caresss and educates the people and teaches them all kinds of useful things; he calculates the movement of the sun and the moon to determine the solar terms of the year and respectfully welcomes the coming and going of the sun and the moon; he is aware of ghosts and gods and is cautious. land to serve. He has a dignified appearance and noble moral character. He behaves in a timely manner, just like a scholar. The emperor governs the people as impartially as rainwater irrigates the farmland. Everywhere in the world, wherever the sun and moon shine, wherever the wind and rain go, no one disobeys and submits.
Emperor Ku married Chen Feng's daughter and gave birth to Fangxun. Fangxun married a girl from the Qozi family and gave birth to Zhi. After the death of Emperor Ku, Zhi succeeded him to the throne. Emperor Zhi did not achieve much political achievements after he ascended the throne, so his younger brother Fangxun ascended the throne. This is Emperor Yao. Emperor Yao was a man of honor. He is as kind and wise as God. Approaching him is like the sun that warms the heart; looking up to him is like clouds that moisten the earth. He is rich but not proud, noble but not indulgent. He wore a yellow hat, black clothes, a scarlet chariot, and a white horse. He can respect virtuous people and make nine generations of the same clan love each other. Since the people of the same clan were at peace, they went to inspect the officials. The achievements of hundreds of officials show that all princes and states can live in harmony. Emperor Yao ordered the Xi family and the He family to follow the will of God, draw up a calendar based on the appearance and appearance of the sun, the moon, and the position of the stars, and carefully teach the people the production seasons. In addition, Xizhong was ordered to live in Yuyi and call Yanggu to greet the sunrise respectfully and arrange spring farming in different steps. On the vernal equinox, the day and night are as long as each other. The stars in Suzaku's seven constellations appear due south at dusk. This is used to determine the time of mid-spring. At this time, people dispersed to work, birds and animals gave birth and mated. He also ordered Uncle Xi to live in Nanjiao and arrange the summer farm work carefully. On the summer solstice, the heart (also known as the Great Fire), which has the longest day in the Canglong seven constellations, appears in the south during the first twilight. Accordingly, the time of midsummer is determined. At this time, people are at high places, and birds and animals have sparse feathers. He also ordered He Zhong, who lived in Xituna, a place called Shibuya, to respectfully watch the sun set and arrange the autumn harvest in a step-by-step manner. On the autumnal equinox, the night is as long as the day. The virtual constellation among the seven constellations of Xuanwu appears in the due south at the beginning of dusk. Accordingly, the time of mid-autumn is determined. At this time, people moved to the plains and birds and animals regenerated new hair. He also ordered his uncle and uncle, who lived in the north, called Youdu, to carefully arrange the winter collection. On the winter solstice, the day is the shortest. Among the seven white tiger constellations, Pleiades appears in the due south when it is first twilight. Accordingly, the time of midwinter is determined. At this time, people go into their houses to keep warm, and the birds and animals are covered with fine hair. There are 366 days in a year, and the method of setting leap moon is used to correct the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter. Emperor Yao sincerely warned all officials to keep their duties, and all kinds of things were done.
At that time, the people were miserable due to floods and floods. Emperor Yao asked his ministers: "The floods are raging and the sky is vast. The people in Huaishan and Xiangling are worried. Is there anyone who can cure them?" All the ministers said that no one but Gun could rule. Emperor Yao said. "That Gun violated the destiny and destroyed his own people, so he cannot use it." The ministers said, "No one except Gun is proficient in the art of controlling floods. Why not use him first? If he can't control the flood, then replace him." Emperor Yao nodded and agreed to let Gun to control floods.
After Gun knew that Emperor Yao had ordered him to control the flood, he said to people: "If you want to cure the flood but it takes a lot of effort, Yao is really overqualified and underused." Everyone laughed.
After taking office, Gun led the people to control the floods. However, Gun only knew how to block the water and did not know how to dredge it. If there was water in the east, he would block it. When the water flowed from east to west, he would go to the west again and block it in this way. Even after nine years of busy work, the flood problem has not been cured.
