Chinese always like to use numbers such as "ten masters" and "four famous works" to give titles to certain things and people, as if they are more imposing.

And this tradition should have come from the two titles of "Three Emperors" and "Five Emperors", "three" corresponds to heaven, earth, and man, and "five" corresponds to five directions, five elements, five colors, etc.

The so-called "Three Emperors and Five Emperors" was not summed up at the time, but compiled by later generations, and the statements about the "Three Emperors and Five Emperors" recorded in different documents are completely different.

Take the Yellow Emperor as an example, some put the Yellow Emperor in the "Three Emperors", and some put the Yellow Emperor in the "Five Emperors".

Because it was too chaotic, the literati in ancient times did not argue about the specific order, let alone modern historians, because there was no archaeological material to support it, it was worthless to rely on the documents of the ancients to speculate, so the academic community simply treated this coldly.

The only one who is not controversial is that there are two people, the position of Yao and Shun in the "Five Emperors" is basically determined, and the others even have their own opinions about whether Dayu belongs to the "Five Emperors".

As I said before, there is a saying that "Yu is a worm" in the historical circles, this sentence has two meanings, one is a literal meaning, and there is a "worm" in the word "Yu"; Another meaning is that it is not sure whether Dayu is really a person.

This question, now Chen Kan has an answer, at least in this plane, there is really the existence of Yu.

But the rest of the "Five Emperors", Chen Kan, as a witness of history and a scholar of history, said that he couldn't figure out which five they were, and that the "Three Emperors" were too early.

It has been 400 years since Chen Kan came to this plane, "400 years", it is just three words to write, to put it mildly, Chen Kan has recited the "Huang Ting Jing" more than 550,000 times in this plane, this is the concept of 400 years.

Four hundred years later, the land of China is a vast ocean, and in recent years, due to climate changes, the amount of rainfall has skyrocketed, flooded, and Chinese civilization has suffered great damage.

The tribal alliance is naturally not idle, and has carried out many times of water control, but how can it be so simple, modern society has a relatively complete river system and governance system, but in the face of sudden floods, it is inevitable to suffer heavy losses, let alone the people of this era.

"It's better to be blocked" is a simple truth that seems to modern people, which is summed up by the ancestors with a piece of life, and the truth is easy, but it is difficult to do, this plane is not a mythical plane, there are no various magical spells, no mountain axe, only hands, all rivers are dug out by both hands.

It took the entire tribal alliance to work together, and it took a total of 18 years before and after finally overcoming the great flood, and the name of the co-leader who led all the people to solve this suffering was "Yu".

In addition to a large number of casualties and property losses, the biggest change in Chen Kan's view is that the rights of the co-owners have been strengthened unprecedentedly.

It's like in times of war, where leaders need to be more centralized to face challenges, and this time it's not a war to face a flood!

In order to mobilize the greatest resources to deal with the floods, all the tribal alliances were united as much as possible, and without a change of co-leader in eighteen years, the Council of Elders basically disappeared.

In order to better control the flood, Yu will put a large number of people in some important positions, this is not for favoritism, this is completely for the sake of water control, Yu is the descendant of the original Gonggong tribe, the tribe is good at water control, in order to defeat the flood such an arrangement is inevitable.

At the same time, the divine power has been greatly weakened, because in the face of such a monstrous flood, people found that the gods they sacrificed could not provide them with protection, and finally had to rely on their own strength to solve it, which was completely different from the omnipotent gods they imagined.

In addition, during the flood control, many clergy also rushed forward and lived with ordinary people for a long time, which made the mystery between ordinary people and clergy disappear, and there was less fear of God.

The demise of the Presbyterian Church, the centralization of power, the weakening of theocracy, and the fact that important positions were all made by its own people led to an unprecedented increase in power in the hands of the co-masters.

After the flood, Yu found that his rights were unprecedentedly strong, and a thought arose in his heart, that is, can he treat the position of the co-owner as a private property and pass it directly to his son?

Yu Xian slowly tried it, and at the same time arranged his son Qi in an important position, and also arranged some people with strong ability for his son, in modern terms, it is "brushing merits".

Yu lived to be fifty-two years old, because the credit for water control was too great, and the power was concentrated, he was the first person to sit in the position of co-owner until death, and he was also the co-master for the longest time.

After Yu's death, his son Qi successfully became the co-owner, if Qi was just an ordinary person, then maybe the future history would have changed, but Qi is also a person who is not lacking in ambition and strength, he inherited his father's wishes, and rectified the tribe, the purpose is to make the co-owner position become the private property of their clan.

He also set his sights on the temple and made a big fuss about the flood, mainly to explain one thing, that is, the ancestor of their clan is a god, he is a descendant of a god, and he was born to rule the entire tribe.

In order to get the support of the temple, Kai also offered extremely generous conditions, which was a great thing for the temple, and the high priest agreed without hesitation.

At this moment, the high priest is no longer Chen Kan, Chen Kan "died" a hundred years ago, after faking his death, Chen Kan went to other tribes to experience life and observe the world, and staying in the temple has not been conducive to Chen Kan's observation of the world.

Not only ordinary tribesmen, Chen Kan also went to experience the life of a slave, after the end of the water control, Chen Kan used his own feet to travel all over the place, and when Chen Kan came back again, the divine power and the royal power have been closely combined and difficult to separate.

Originally, this tribe that believed in the dragon totem did not have a fixed name, but after Qi reigned for twenty years, he gave it a name called "Xia", and the era of kingship began.
