In his later years, Emperor Yao abdicated and gave way to Shun because his children could not be reused.
Yu Shun, the originator of China's moral culture, put morality first and education first, which has become an important driver of China's historical transition from barbarism to civilization and one of the three major milestones of China culture.
In his later years, Yu Shun gave way to Shang Jun, the son of Emperor Yao, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the governors and sent Shang Jun to see Yu Wang. With the support of the governors, Yu officially ascended the throne and lived in Yangcheng, with the title of Xia.

Zhong Kang refused to be a puppet and resisted being killed by Hou Yi. He also made Xian Xiang (the son of Xian Taikang for short) as the leader, and joined hands with Han Zhuo (the courtier of Hou Yi) to kill Hou Yi. Han Zhuo wanted to inherit the power of Hou Yi. According to the custom at that time, he wanted to marry Chang 'e, the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon, and live in Guanghan Palace, that is, my humble abode, that is, Han Zhuofu.
Han Zhuo killed Xiang and became the leader himself. Shao Kang (son of Xiang) retaliated by killing Han Zhuo and regaining the position of leader.
