Introduction to Emperor Shun:Shun, whose surname was Yao and whose given name was Chonghua, was named Yu Shun in history because his ancestor had been granted the title of Yu (now Yuxiang Town, Yongji City). Shun is the legendary leader of the tribal alliance in the late clan society of my country. Legend has it that Shun lost his mother when he was young and was often abused by his stepmother and beaten by his father. But he is famous for his filial piety. Later, he was recommended by the Four Mountains, and Yao appointed him as regent, and married his Nv Ehuang and Nv Ying to Shun. Shun appointed virtuous people and recommended sixteen people including Cang Shu, who were known as "Eight Kai" and "Eight Yuan", to assist Emperor Yao. He eliminated Gun, Gonggong, Zhongdou, Sanmiao and other evil people, and brought great order to the world. After Yao's death, Shun ascended the throne and consulted the four mountains to select wise men and govern the civil affairs. In particular, he ordered Yu to control floods and make the people live and work in peace and contentment. Therefore, he is supported by all people. After his death, he was buried in Mingtiao Gang.
