Yao said to Shun: "You must pass on the throne well from now on, so that you can rest in peace after my death." Later, Shun passed the throne to Yu who had done great work in controlling floods. Yu also loved the people and did things for the people just like Shun. He has done many good deeds and is very loved by others.
