Why is Shun Di called Zhong Hua?

Shun Di, surnamed Yao, was named "Zhong Hua" because of his legendary eyes and double pupils, and was named Yu Shun because of his surname Yu. After death, Zen was located in Yu. Legend has it that after the Yellow Emperor, there were three famous tribal alliance leaders named Yao (yao2), Shun (shun4) and Yu (yu3). They used to be the leaders of a tribe, and later they were elected as the leaders of the tribal alliance. At that time, leaders of tribal alliances had to consult with tribal leaders about any major issues. Yao is old and wants to find someone to succeed him. On one occasion, he called the leaders of the four tribes to discuss. After Yao told his plan, a man named Fang Qi said, "Your son Dan Zhu is an enlightened man, and it is just right to inherit your position." Yao said seriously, "No, this boy has a bad moral character and likes to quarrel with others." Another man named huan dou said, "The worker in charge of water conservancy has done a good job." Yao shook his head and said, "* * * workers have a glib tongue, and they are respectful on the surface, but their hearts are different." I don't trust this kind of people. "The discussion was fruitless, and Yao continued to look for his successor. On one occasion, he called the leaders of the four tribes to discuss and asked everyone to recommend them. The unanimous recommendation of the meeting was shun. Yao nodded and said, "Oh! I also heard that this person is very nice. Can you elaborate on his deeds? " Everyone explained Shun's situation: Shun's father was a completely confused person, and people called him gu sou (meaning blind old man). Shun's biological mother died long ago, and her stepmother was very bad. The stepmother's younger brother named Xiang is too arrogant to say, but Gu Sou dotes on him. Shun lives in such a family and treats his parents and brother well. So, everyone thinks that Shun is a man with good virtue. Yao was very happy and decided to inspect Shun first. He married his two daughters, E Huang and Nv Ying, and built a granary for Shun, giving him a lot of cattle and sheep. When the stepmother and younger brother met, they were both envious and jealous. They played tricks with Gu Sou and tried to assassinate Shun several times. On one occasion, Gu Sou asked Shun to repair the top of the granary. When Shun climbed to the top of the barn with a ladder, Gu Sou set fire to it and tried to burn Shun to death. Shun saw a fire on the top of the warehouse and wanted to find a ladder, which had disappeared. Fortunately, Shun is carrying two hats to keep out the sun. He took a hat in both hands and jumped down like a bird with wings. The hat fluttered in the wind, and Shun gently fell to the ground, not hurt at all. Gu Sou and Xiang were not reconciled, so they asked Shun to go to Taojing. After Shun jumped into the well, Gu Sou and Xiang threw pieces of earth and stone on the ground, filled the well and tried to bury Shun alive. Unexpectedly, after Shun went down the well, he dug a hole by the well, got out and went home safely. Not knowing that Shun had already escaped from danger, Xiang returned home triumphantly and said to Gu Sou, "My brother must be dead this time. I came up with this brilliant plan. Now we can share our brother's property. " With that, he walked to Shun's house. I don't know. As soon as he entered the room, Shun was sitting by the bed playing the piano. The elephant was secretly surprised and said shyly, "Oh, how I miss you!" Shun also pretended as if nothing had happened, saying, "You're just in time. I have a lot of things to do, and I need your help to take care of them." In the future, Shun still treated his parents and younger brother kindly as in the past, and Gu Sou and Xiang dared not plot against Shun again. Yao listened to the story of Shun introduced by everyone, and after investigation, he thought that Shun was really a good and capable person, so he gave the position of leader to Shun. This abdication was called "shan abdication" in history. In fact, during the clan commune, tribal leaders were old, and it was not uncommon to elect new leaders by election. After Shun took the throne, he was also hardworking and frugal, working like ordinary people and being trusted by everyone. A few years later, Yao died, and Shun wanted to give the position of leader of the tribal alliance to Yao's son Dan Zhu, which was also disapproved by everyone. Shun just officially became the leader. Shun Di is the originator of moral culture, and Shun culture is moral culture. Records of the Historian says: "The world is famous, and it all started in Yu Shun". The soul of Shun Di's cultural spirit can be called "morality first, education second", and Shun culture is Chinese culture in the historical turning point from barbarism to civilization. Yandi culture with farming culture as its connotation, Huangdi culture with regime culture as its connotation, and Shun culture with moral culture as its connotation are isomorphic to form three milestones of Chinese culture. Jiuyishan is the hiding place of Shun culture. "Historical Records" contains: "Shun's hunting tour in the south collapsed in the wilderness of Cangwu and was buried in Jiuyi in the south of the Yangtze River". In this magical and beautiful land of Jiuyi Mountain, there are many touching stories of serving the people in Shun Di, and there are many bitterness, nostalgia and beautiful praise of literati and poets who visited Jiuyi Mountain. A great man, Mao Zedong, once wrote a magnificent poem of "Bai Yunfei on Jiuyi Mountain, Di Zi under the wind". Shundi Mausoleum is located in Shunling Scenic Area, which is the target cultural landscape of Jiuyishan Scenic Area in ningyuan county, Yongzhou City, Hunan Province. It is the oldest mausoleum in China. The mausoleum area of Shundi Mausoleum consists of Lingshan (Shunyuanfeng), Shunling Temple, Shinto and cemetery, covering an area of more than 6 mu. The peak of Shunyuan Mountain in Lingshan is small on the top and big on the bottom, showing a bucket shape, with an altitude of more than 6 mu, which is magnificent. There is a mausoleum temple at the northern foot of the mountain, which sits south to north, with a large scale and covers an area of 24,644 square meters. It is divided into two courtyards and five buildings. There are solemn mountain gates, noon gates, worship halls, main halls, sleeping halls and wing rooms in the mausoleum temple. There is a 2-meter-long Shinto outside the mausoleum temple. Shun Mausoleum is one of the five ancient tombs in China and the only Shun Di Mausoleum in China. Shun Di's southern tour collapsed in the wilderness of Cangwu and was buried in Jiuyi Mountain. There are 36 memorial tablets of past dynasties preserved in the memorial tablet profile of Ling Temple, which are precious historical relics and historical witnesses. In the mausoleum area with towering ancient trees, the stone carvings, couplets and wall paintings on the mausoleum temple buildings are vivid and unforgettable. Nearby, there are Ehuang Peak, Nv Ying Peak, Meida Peak, Comb Peak, Shun Peak (three-point stone), Xiaoshao Peak, Banzhuyan, Shunchi and Shunxi, all of which are related to the legend that Shun Di played Jiu Shao's music and the second concubine cried and spotted bamboo.
