What is the ancient Tang Kingdom?
Ancient Tang Dynasty was a country in ancient times before Xia Dynasty, and its founder was Emperor Yao.

Yaodi established Taiyuan, the capital of the early Tang Dynasty, which has been rich in legends passed down from mouth for thousands of years. There are many records in local chronicles and stone tablets. After living in Taiyuan for a period of time (scholars believe that it was because of their pioneering spirit or because the Fenhe River was blocked by Huoshan Mountain at that time, and there were floods from time to time), Yao and Yao's tribe left their own nation, continued to migrate in the south direction of Fenhe River, and finally settled in Linfen Basin-Pingyang.

In the early days of Yao's rule, there was no basic national system, and the country was just a tribal association, which was very loose, which was not conducive to the unified management of the country. Therefore, after accumulating certain administrative experience, Yao began to establish a national political system, one of which is to appoint officials according to various government affairs. For the first time in China's history, a relatively systematic political system was established, which laid the foundation for the emergence of a slave country. History is called the ancient Tang Dynasty.

The main achievements of Yao's reign

First, improve the rectification

In the early days of Yao's administration, there was no basic national system, and the country was just a tribal association, which was very loose and not conducive to the unified management of the country. Therefore, after accumulating certain administrative experience, Yao began to establish a national political system, one of which was to appoint officials according to various government affairs. This was the first time in the history of our country to establish a relatively systematic political system, which laid the foundation for the emergence of a slave country.

Second, make calendars.

Yao Dian in Shangshu said that Yao Mingshi and He Shibi worked out calendars according to the movement of the sun, moon and stars, and then promulgated the world, so that agricultural production could be governed by laws. He sent people to observe everywhere to determine the time of vernal equinox, summer solstice, autumn equinox and winter solstice.

Yao decided to take 366 days as a year, set a leap month every three years, and use the leap month to adjust the relationship between the calendar and the four seasons, so that the annual farming season is correct and there is no business trip. It can be seen that the ancients regarded the era of Emperor Yao as an era of rapid progress in farming culture.

Three. Xianneng interview

Shi Zaiyao's nine chivalrous men, or eleven chivalrous men, are full of talented people. However, he is afraid of burying talents and leaving a legacy in the wild. Therefore, he often went deep into the hinterland and went to Shan Ye to look for detailed interviews, asking sages to visit political gains and losses and select talents.
