“Family harmony and prosperity” has always been the belief and pursuit of the Chinese nation. As one of the “Five Emperors”, Emperor Di Ku not only managed to keep the country in order, but also harmonized the relationship between his three wives, and the only thing he could not help was his two sons. ……
Zhuan Xu died, and his nephew Di Ku ascended the throne.
Di Ku was born in Gao Xin, so he was also known as Gao Xin Shi, one of the “Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.”
Di Ku was the great-grandson of Huang Di and had assisted his uncle Zhuan Xu. After Zhuan Xu’s death, he inherited the throne.
From birth, Di Ku was extraordinary and could say his own name.
When Di Ku was thirty years old, he replaced Zhuan Xu as emperor.
He governed the country with fairness and rigor, never showing favoritism. His blessings reached people all over the world.
Di Ku observed celestial phenomena with great concentration, explored the weather patterns, and established the Twenty-Four Solar Terms.
He guided people to farm according to the solar terms, improving grain yields and living standards.
Di Ku reigned for over seventy years, during which the country was prosperous and harmonious, and people lived in peace and contentment.
Di Ku had three wives. The children born to his first wife were extraordinary, each having three bodies.
They could control fierce beasts and make them help humans with heavy labor.
His second wife was Xi He, the Sun Goddess. She and Di Ku had ten sons, who were the ten suns.
Xi He took her sons to work in shifts every day, bringing light and warmth to people.
Every day, Xi He took her sons to bathe in the Tanggu in the Gan Yuan.
The water in Tanggu was warm, perfect for bathing the suns.
After bathing, the suns would play on the Fusang tree. Only one sun was allowed to climb to the top of the tree to prepare for the next day’s shift.
To prevent the suns from being lazy, a jade chicken lived on the Fusang tree and woke up the sun at dawn.
With the first crow of the jade chicken, all the male chickens in the world would also crow, and the sky would gradually brighten.
The sun sat on the chariot driven by his mother Xi He, enjoying the beautiful scenery below with ease.
Di Ku’s third wife was Chang Xi, the Moon Goddess. She and Di Ku had twelve moon daughters.
Chang Xi often took her daughters to bathe in a clear lake, which was known as “Chang Xi Bathing the Moon.”
Di Ku also had two sons, Yan Bo and Shi Chen, who had a poor relationship and often fought.
To prevent them from causing trouble again, Di Ku separated them, sending Yan Bo to oversee the Shang Star in the east and Shi Chen to oversee the Shen Star in the west.
The Shen Star and the Shang Star never appeared at the same time, and Yan Bo and Shi Chen never met again, ending their fighting.
