During the reign of Dayu, there was the Fangfeng clan, the chief of the Guyue tribe. He always wanted to dominate one side and claimed to be the leader of each tribe of the Yue people, but did not obey Dayu's orders. Dayu ordered him to be executed in public at the Miaoshan Assembly and his body was exposed for three days.

The princes and uncles from all over the country knew the power of the Xia Dynasty and the sanctity of Yu the Great, and they no longer dared to offend King Yu. When those clans and tribes that did not attend the court meeting with King Yu heard about this, they also paid tribute to the Xia Dynasty and became ministers.

After the founding of the Xia Dynasty, a man named Yi Di made some wine. After drinking it, Dayu felt that it tasted very mellow, so he gave an order to Yi Di to stop making wine. Yi Di was very puzzled and asked: " Since the king said that wine tastes good, why not let everyone taste this delicious food instead of banning it?”

Dayu said to him: "Just because the taste of wine is so mellow that people don't feel intoxicated and people don't think about other things except wine, future generations will definitely be addicted to it and miss what they should do." , and ultimately make people all over the world suffer.”

After this statement spread among the tribes, people all praised Dayu. It is said that he is a beautiful jade given to people by God.

Jade was a beautiful and noble word in people's minds at that time. People often used jade to metaphor and describe all beautiful people or things. Therefore, the Emperor of Heaven was also known as the Jade Emperor at that time. People praised Dayu with jade, symbolizing their highest respect for him.

Dayu was a statesman with great talents and strategies. He combined flood control with the management of the country and the people. While controlling flood damage, we also guide people to restore and develop agricultural production, develop water transportation, and rebuild their homes. Every time he governs a place, he takes the initiative to unite the chiefs of clans and tribes to improve the political power construction so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment.

When the flood receded, patches of plains emerged from the water. He led people to build ditches in the fields, divert water for irrigation, and plant crops such as millet, millet, beans, and hemp. He also asked people to plant rice in low-lying areas. Not only was flood control a huge success, but agricultural production also made progress. Confucius once praised Yu's merits in water control and said: I can't find any shortcomings in him. His palace was simple and simple, but he did not think about improving it. Instead, he tried his best to control the water and soil, dig ditches, develop farming, and encourage people to work.

When Dayu ceased his position as human emperor and established the country as Queen of Xia, his prestige reached its peak. At this time, the world was peaceful and happy, people lived a prosperous life, and the tribes had little to worry about.

It is said that during the Three Emperors Period, Emperor Fuxi realized the Eight Diagrams. Guide people to seek good fortune and avoid evil, govern the human race wholeheartedly, achieve great merits, and finally attain the position of emperor and live as long as heaven and earth. There was also Shennong who tasted hundreds of herbs and passed down the "Shen Nong's Classic of Hundred Herbs" and became the emperor of the earth. Huangdi Xuanyuan even worshiped the immortal master Guangchengzi as his teacher, asked questions in Jiuxian Mountain, and became an emperor. The three emperors of heaven, earth, and humans live outside the sky, free from disease and disaster, and coexist with the world.

Yujue himself spent seventeen years leading the tribes to dredge rivers, control floods, and seek survival for the human race, making each tribe more prosperous. Such achievements should be the same as those of the three emperors, achieving immortality and living as long as heaven and earth. Then the art of seeking immortality was born.

Now that the Three Emperors have attained enlightenment, immortals and gods in the world have not appeared in front of people, and many human beings regard ghosts and gods as legends. Even if Dayu wanted to ask for a way to live forever, he could not find it.

At this time, the counselors beside him said to Dayu: "Your Majesty, I have heard that in ancient times, there were gods who called themselves demons and had incredible magical powers. The human race was weak and often bullied. Although the king has established a relationship with the human race for eternity. The foundation is incomparable to that of the three emperors. The foundation of the human race is now formed. If the king determines the foundation of the human race and makes the human race prosper for hundreds of millions of years, it will be like the three emperors, and they will become immortals and gods, and live as long as heaven and earth."

After hearing this, Dayu couldn't help but be overjoyed and asked: "How can we make the human race prosperous for hundreds of millions of years? Haven't I done enough?"

The minister said to Dayu: "I have seen a classic record of the Great Sacrifice Wine that has been preserved for countless years. It says: If a person wants to have good fortune, wealth and longevity, he must have a treasure with him to change his destiny and calm his spirit. Luck; if a clan can survive forever, it also needs a treasure to suppress the clan. Now the king establishes the Xia Kingdom, divides the nine states, and unifies the world, but there is no treasure to suppress the nine states, so that the peace of the nine states can be maintained, and the luck of the clan will last forever. If you obtain the treasure in Kyushu, you may be able to achieve the achievement of the Three Emperors."

After hearing this, Dayu frowned and said, "The treasure can be found but cannot be found. How can I find it? This method is not appropriate. Do you have another method?"

Seeing that Dayu was not satisfied with this idea. After the minister thought for a while, he said to Dayu: "Back then, the three emperors went through all kinds of difficulties to bring great rule to the human race. Why don't you, your Majesty, make the most precious treasure with your own hands to suppress the fate of the Nine Provinces, and then pray to God, and let God know about it, maybe it will be convenient It can achieve great achievements like those of the Three Emperors."

After Dayu thought for a long time, he nodded and said happily: "I have also seen that when the great sacrificial wine was offered to the heaven and the earth, there was a treasure tripod. It has no fragrance and can be burned. It is really a treasure. Why don't I pass the great sacrificial wine from each tribe and let them put it I present this tripod, and I will choose the most exquisite one to build a nine-sided tripod and place it in the land of Jiuzhou. What do you think?"

Hearing Dayu's idea, the minister shook his head and advised Dayu: "No, Your Majesty. The great sacrificial wine can communicate with the gods. He is the most noble person in each tribe and the foundation of each tribe. You must not be rude to them. If your Majesty wants to choose Exquisite sacrificial tripod. I also need to personally visit the major sacrificial wines to show my sincerity. Besides, I also need to find the major sacrificial wines to write in order to pray to God."

In front of the so-called courtesy minister, Dayu also knew that what he just said was inappropriate, so he agreed to the minister's proposal.

Within a few days, Dayu finished handling all matters in the capital and went to each tribe in person to visit the chief sacrificial ministers and visit their sacrificial tripods. It took three years for Dayu to select nine large tripods as models and prepare to cast the tripod to suppress Jiuzhou.

Dayu collected the gold from Jiu Mu. He also recruited tens of thousands of craftsmen to start casting the tripod. In order to personally participate in this important event related to his becoming an immortal, Dayu also found one of the most experienced craftsmen to learn the art of casting, and also learned the sacred inscriptions from the great priest. This sacrificial legend was learned by Cangjie from an outsider during the Huangdi period, and he had unpredictable magical powers.

The story of Dayu casting the Nine Cauldrons was spread to the human race and was known by the Dragon God. He told Dayu in a dream that this matter was a great merit and he was willing to help him and let his nine dragon sons live in the town. Become a cauldron spirit to suppress luck.

This bizarre dream shocked Dayu and he woke up from his sleep. Thinking back to the dream I just had, the dragon in the dream had nine claws, soared in the clouds and mist, was thousands of feet long, and had infinite magical powers. When Dayu thought of this bizarre dream, he couldn't sleep anymore. He summoned his closest ministers all night and told him everything in his dream.

After hearing this, the minister immediately knelt down and shouted loudly: "King Yu is the true Dragon Emperor!"

Dayu didn't understand what he meant, so he asked: "I am the lord of the world, why do you call me the real dragon emperor?"

The minister explained to him: "It is said that the dragon is a divine creature. It was once the supreme being. It has the purple micro energy and is immune to all evil. The king was helped by the real dragon in his dream. Now he has the purple micro energy of the real dragon. This is his destiny." If Ziwei’s true energy is not inherited from the Dragon King, won’t your Majesty become the True Dragon Emperor?”

Seeing that Dayu still didn't understand, he told an allusion from the time of the Three Emperors: It is said that the Yellow Emperor fought against the Jiuli tribe, and a dragon god was born to help him. Cangjie was helped by the dragon tribe when he created characters, and he promised to use the rivers, lakes and waters of the four seas. The dragon is respected, and the human race worships the dragon as a totem. Anyone who obtains Ziwei Zhenqi is destined to be destined.

Hearing this, Yu was very happy and ordered his ministers to spread the word to the world. It is necessary to build the Nine Cauldrons so that the human race can gain the foundation of eternity. Dayu began to build the tripod.

After Dayu completed each tripod, he ordered the people around him to seal the evil objects caught from all over the world into the tripod. Then the Dragon God entrenched in the sky sent one of his sons to the tripod to suppress these evil things.

It is rumored that the Dragon God has nine sons, and it is the dragon who gave birth to nine sons. The sons are different. The eldest is prisoner of the cow, the second is Yaizi, and the third is mocking the wind. The fourth lao is Pulao, the fifth lao is Suani, the sixth lao is bully, the seventh lao is Suan Ni, and the eighth lao is negative. Laojiu Herbal Chi Kiss.

When casting the nine tripods, Dayu used the sun-shooting bow to draw down the divine fire of the sun and forged them for ninety-nine and eighty-one days. Each tripod was painted with mountains and rivers, geography, features of Kyushu, and engraved with sacred inscriptions. These divine inscriptions were passed down to later generations, and after countless years of development, they eventually became the earliest oracle bone inscriptions of mankind.

After the Jiuding was cast, Dayu selected strong men to place them in Kyushu. The largest of the tripods is the central tripod, which is called the emperor's cauldron and is painted yellow. On the day of the Earth King, a large sacrifice is held. The sacrifices are all yellow and the musical instruments are made of palace frames.

The weighing tripod in the north is painted black. During the winter solstice, sacrifices are made in black. The one in the northeast is called the Muding, which is painted in green color. When offering sacrifices at the beginning of spring, the sacrifices are made in black. The one on the east side is called Cang Ding, which is painted in blue color. When offering sacrifices during the spring equinox, the sacrifices are made in cyan color. The one in the southeast is called the Feng Ding, painted green. It is used for sacrifices at the beginning of summer, and the sacrifices are pink. The one in the south is called Tongding, which is painted purple. It is used for sacrifices during the summer solstice, and the sacrifices are pink. The one in the southwest is called Fuding and is painted black. When offering sacrifices at the beginning of autumn, the sacrifices are white. The one in the west is called Haoding and is painted red. It is used for sacrifices during the autumnal equinox and the sacrifices are white. The Kuui Ding in the northwest is painted white, and sacrifices are made in black at the beginning of winter. The eight surrounding cauldrons are all medium-sized for sacrifice, and the sacrifices and offerings are vegetarian.

After the Jiuding was installed in Jiuzhou, Dayu built another altar, placed the central tripod on the Temple of Heaven, led all officials to bathe for three days, and offered sacrifices to the Temple of Heaven.

At that time, heaven sent merits and virtues to the land of Jiuzhou. A membrane is born between heaven and earth, forming a barrier, called the Kyushu Barrier, to protect the peace of the human race, prevent external evil spirits from coming to Kyushu to harm humans, and prevent gods and goddesses from easily descending to the mortal world.

Dayu cast the Nine Cauldrons to control the fortunes of the Nine Provinces and made great contributions to the human race. God sent merits and virtues to Dayu, but it did not enable Dayu to achieve his ultimate goal and live as long as heaven and earth. As a result, Dayu's heart became depressed. He was no longer strong as before, and his body became weaker day by day.

Yu's health was deteriorating day by day. Seeing this, his ministers suggested that Yu go around the world to relieve the depression in his chest, and Yu responded. After leading hundreds of officials to Kuaiji, he was enshrined in heaven and died there. Before his death, he passed the world to Yi and took the title of country as Boyi. Everyone called him Boyi.

Dayu had a son named Qi who refused to accept Boyi's successor as emperor, so he colluded with ministers to seize Boyi's throne and exiled Boyi. (!) More ‘small’ says, ‘full’ in ‘stars’ ‘book’, ‘!
