In the history of Emperor Yao, Confucianism in China has always admired Confucianism, and the most representative of Confucianism should be Emperor Yao, the most typical representative of Confucian sages. He is also the most respected figure in Confucianism, and Confucius also praised Emperor Yao in The Analects of Confucius. Sima Qian spoke highly of this in Historical Records.
When Emperor Yao was alive, his democratic political atmosphere was very strong. Leaders represented by Emperor Yao and his courtiers often walk together to discuss world affairs. In the development of the times, a very advanced pre-ancient democratic politics-abdication system has also appeared.
At the beginning, there were channels for courtiers to give advice.
Flood control was also a very significant achievement at that time. The formation of the calendar and the reorganization of officials are all for the development of the people. Later generations remembered his achievements and built Yao Temple to commemorate him.
Yao Temple introduced that Yao Temple was founded in Han and Wei Dynasties, located in Pingyang ancient city, and moved to Fendongyuan in Jin Dynasty. Then it moved to the present position of Linfen in the Tang Dynasty, and it was expanded in later dynasties.
In the early Qing Dynasty, Kangxi issued a decree to hold a one-month temple fair on March 18 every year to commemorate Yao and celebrate.
There are many scenic spots in Yao Temple and Yao Temple, the most interesting of which should be four very strange Cooper trees. Cooper surrounds Jing Yao, and there are two trees on the west side, namely "cypress suppresses catalpa" and "cypress embraces tree".
Every April and May, the red sorbus will bloom among the trees, which is amazing. Another legend is that more than 600 years ago, Robinia pseudoacacia was transplanted to Ji 'enji, Xi 'an. Every summer, Robinia pseudoacacia is in full bloom on cypress trees, and the flowers are overflowing with impressive fragrance.
There are two ancient cypresses on the east side, one of which is called "Ming Lu Bai". According to legend, in the Tang Dynasty, when Emperor Yao and his wife Lu Xian were carving a sacred oak tree in their bedroom, a pair of sika deer suddenly came and danced under the cypress tree, whose branches were still like sika deer horns, so they were called "singing deer cypress". Another tree is called "Night Laughing cypress". It was transplanted from India by an ancient monk. Every New Year's Eve, cypress trees make a rustling sound, which is very similar to people's laughter, so this kind of tree is also called "laughing cypress at night".
