Emperor Yu ruled the country with benevolence and lived a frugal life; he usually looked solemn and quiet, and his moral character was as lofty as a mountain. He understands the sufferings of the people and treats all people in the world equally. He never violated the laws of nature, and respectfully sacrificed to the heavens, earth, ghosts and gods, and prayed to the gods to bless all people.

His strategy for governing the country is: first, to love the people, and second, to let the people benefit. Emphasize the rule of the world with integrity and benevolence. Emperor Yu is especially known for his honesty among the people. As a generation of emperors, Emperor Yu can not only cultivate self-discipline and selflessness, but also advocate honesty and discern good and evil, which is respected by emperors of all dynasties.
Before the emperor, although people had the concept of the four seasons of the year, but only the sunrise and sunset, engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry did not have a scientific chronological sequence, which seriously restricted the development of agriculture and the improvement of people's quality of life. Therefore, Emperor Yu explored the laws of celestial phenomena and phenological changes, divided the four seasons (solar terms), and guided people to engage in agricultural and livestock activities according to the seasons, which greatly promoted the development of social productive forces. A great revolution has taken place in Chinese agriculture, and agricultural civilization has entered a new era.
The emperor can also know people well.
Yi's archery skills are unparalleled in the world, and Emperor Yu selected him as an archery officer and gave him a Tong bow and Artemisia arrows. Yi also lived up to the emperor's deep expectations, and when Bai Nan rebelled, he pacified it in one fell swoop.
Emperor Yu loved music very much, he asked the musician Xianhei to make songs such as nine moves, six columns, and six English, and ordered music to make drums, bells, pans and other musical instruments, so that 64 dancers, wearing colorful clothes, danced with the song. After the music started, the phoenix, Da Zhai and other precious fairy birds also gathered in the hall and danced. In ancient times, it was believed that only those with noble virtues could attract phoenixes.
During the period of Emperor Yu, the queen of the Liu family dreamed that the sky descended from the Lou golden dog to the lower realm, woke up with pain in the ear, and called the famous doctor to come out with a three-inch-long gold worm, which was stored on a jade plate, covered with gourd leaves, one inch long a day, one zhang and two feet long, shaped like a phoenix, named Lingou, known as Pan Gu, the body pattern was splendid, and the head had twenty-four yellow spots. The figurative image is ugly, or the posterity is deified.
At this time, the Western dog came to attack.
猃狁 [xiǎnyun], also known as dog Rong, is a branch of Xirong, active in the area of present-day Shaanxi and Gansu, between Qiang and Qi.
Xirong is the Central Plains Dynasty to the Western tribes of the general name, is the Yandi clan after the development of the West left after the integration of the ethnic group and the local aborigines, with Majiayao culture as its distinctive symbol, and later because of the lack of recognition of the Yellow Emperor's rule and gradually marginalized by the Central Plains Dynasty as a barbarian, called Xirong, its royal family was originally the surname Jiang of the Yandi clan, and its main body developed into the Qiang nationality, becoming an important clan of Xirong. Later, Xirong absorbed the remnants of the three Miao people and became the ancestors of the Qiang, Miao, Yao, and Tibetan (the only existing Qiang people).
According to the literature, the Lynx claimed that their ancestors were the two white dogs, and the oldest nomadic people in the northwest with the white dog as the totem, as early as the Yanhuang period, the Lynx people were the fierce rivals of the Yanhuang people. There is a record in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty: "The former Gaoxin clan had a rampant coward, and the emperor suffered from its invasion and conquered it." ”
The emperor issued an edict to seek talent, proposing that if anyone could behead the king, he would marry the third princess (the daughter of the emperor) to him.
After the dragon dog was revealed, he went to the enemy country, took the king drunk, bit off his head, and returned to China to dedicate to the emperor.
The dog retreated, but the main force was not damaged, so Emperor Yu did not take the opportunity to chase and fight, in order to minimize the risk. Later, he turned his energies to internal affairs and dealt with ethnic issues.
Emperor Yu wanted to repent of his marriage because of his ugly image. When the third princess heard about it, she thought that she should not break her promise and asked to marry. So the emperor agreed to his daughter's request, and Pan Gu married the princess.
After getting married, the princess moved into the mountains with Pan Gu and made a living from hunting and mountain farming. gave birth to three sons and one daughter, the eldest son's surname is Pan, his name is Neng, the second son's surname is Lan, his name is Guanghui, the third son's surname is Lei, his name is Juyou, and his daughter is married to Zhong, and the word is deep.
The She people have passed down and praised the exploits of the ancestor Pan Gu from generation to generation. Pan Gu is the ancestor of the She totem worship. The ancestors of the She nationality used anthropomorphic techniques to portray Pan Gu as a magical, witty and brave national hero, and revered as the ancestor of the She people.
At that time, the rebellion of the remnants of the Gonggong clan did not stop, and they continued to develop from the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River to the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Emperor Yu built the capital in Bo, which was convenient for the rapid deployment of troops to the frontline battlefield. At this time, he activated Chongli to send troops to recruit the rest of the Gonggong clan.
Chongli is also the descendant of the Yellow Emperor, the Yellow Emperor gave birth to Changyi, Changyi gave birth to Gao Yang, Gao Yang was born, called Sheng Juan Zhang (Lao Tong), Juan Zhang was born Chongli. So in fact, Chongli is the nephew of Emperor Yu and the direct descendant of the Gao Yang clan.
Chongli served as the Huozheng official position of the Emperor Gaoxin (the casting official of bronze weapons and sacrificial vessels, a high and powerful position), and made great contributions, the world heard of his name, and the emperor named his tribe as Zhurong, which is the highest honor of the Huozheng position in history, and there are many tribes that have held the official position of Huozheng in history to get the name of Zhurong.
Emperor Yu was worried that Chongli would continue to grow his power and pose a threat to his position, so at that time, the rest of the Gonggong clan was in turmoil, and Emperor Yu sent Chongli Shuaibu to attack the Gonggong clan, so that it would be beneficial to win or lose. The rest of the Gonggong clan is so easy to fight, although Chongli was defeated, but although the Gonggong clan was defeated, its strength was not reduced, and it adopted the method of dispersed guerrillas, and it was always entangled. Emperor Yu took the opportunity to make trouble and ordered Chongli to be executed on Gengyin Day, and in order not to let people gossip, Chongli's mediocre younger brother Wu Hui was established as the lord of the Zhurong clan, and still served as Huozheng.
Later, in 2444 BC, Emperor Yu led an alliance of princes to defeat and submit to the Gonggong clan, and the Gonggong clan became a member of the princes. In this way, the two major forces that threatened the emperor's throne were subdued by the emperor.
