How about choosing a successor? The world does not belong to any one family This is passed down in the family This paved the way for the future family world. Although Yao's character and ability were very good, You should also run for office with others. Yao had a very good way of governing the world Arranged some capable people to hold various positions He specially sent people to observe the movement patterns of the sun, moon and stars. Formulated the calendar and solar terms There was also a drum placed outside the door. erect a pillar Who has a problem with him? Everybody can play drums Or stand next to a pillar and give a public speech to criticize him. He misses the people all the time in his heart Saw people starving and freezing I will blame myself and say It's all because I didn't handle things well That's why they are like this Someone even committed a crime He also blames himself Thinking that it is one's own fault That made them fall into the quagmire of sin He is the leader of all tribal alliances in the world How are your days? No, he lives a very frugal life Not particular about food and clothing at all He's wearing burlap clothes I drank wild vegetable soup Eat brown rice Use earthenware bowl Live in a thatched house The wood for the roof beams and pillars is freshly cut wood. Not even the bark is exposed The roof is covered with thatch of varying lengths It really doesn't look like it No wonder later generations sighed and said The little official guarding the gate also had a better life than him. Ah, such a leader is so good Turn over thousands of years of history Can't find another one No wonder in people’s minds He is regarded as an ideal saint The common people have such a good leader What a blessing It’s time to live a happy life, right? There are only good leaders in this world No matter what God has trouble with them Still not having a good life It was an era when natural disasters occurred frequently Floods from all sides Droughts and strong winds occur one after another What's worse There are 10 burning poisonous suns hanging in the sky The crops and vegetation were scorched. Plus many venomous snakes and beasts harassing them The common people simply cannot survive. in this difficult moment Yao also endured the suffering along with everyone. He watched the people suffer I'm very anxious He quickly sent a great hero named Yi To conquer these demons and monsters Another man named Gun was sent to control the flood. About Yi’s identity full of mythological color Some ancient books say that he is a god descending from heaven to earth. Because Yao prayed day and night The Emperor of Heaven gave Yi Zhang a magical power that could reach people time to quell the disaster Others say Yi is a famous marksman of Dongyi tribe A little sparrow flew in front of me He can also shoot down an arrow When he wants to shoot an arrow Many people were willing to hold up arrow targets for him Not at all afraid of shooting myself This shows how good his swordsmanship is He is truly a great hero in the world. Yi received the order Killed the gale monster in one breath Huge wild boar beast Yayu with a head and a human body 9-headed monster that breathes water and spits fire Also killed a big snake The master built a mountain beside Dongting Lake Finished these things He raised his head Deal with the 10 suns in the sky with all your heart He bends his bow and takes an arrow Targeting these single sun heads Shoot down 9 of them at once Only one is left to illuminate the world is this real Were there really those weird monsters in ancient times?
