Because China has a written history, it started from Shang Dynasty. The summer before Shang Dynasty and the more ancient Three Emperors and Five Emperors all originated from legends, and later history books and related books were also recorded according to legends. So there are many versions of the records about the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, such as Huang San's records:
Sui Renshi, Fu and Shennongshi are from The Great Biography of Shangshu.
Fu, Nuwa and Shennong in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Fu, Zhu Rong, Shennong's "From the Common to the Meaning".
Fu Xishi, Shennong, and the Yellow Emperor from Saint Amethyst.
Judging from Zhuangzi, there are You Chaojia, Sui Renshi and Zhi Shengshi.
Although there are many sayings, Fu and Shennong are the two figures with the highest frequency in all records, so there is no doubt that Fu and Shennong are listed. So who's the other one? Some people say it's Nu Wa, but the goddess who created mankind is China's goddess of creation. Her time should be earlier than that of Huang San, and her position should be above that of Huang San. It is also said that Zhu Rong and Gong Gong were figures after the Yellow Emperor, while Huang San's time was earlier than that of the Five Emperors, that is, it should be earlier than that of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan. Zhu Rong and Gonggong do not meet this requirement and should be excluded from Huang San. Then, the only one that is most suitable for listing in Huang San is Suiren. It can be said that it is highly recognized to list Suirenshi, Fu Xishi and Shennong as Huang San. Moreover, from the perspective of human development, it is also the most reasonable to list Suirenshi, Fu and Shennong, because these three people represent the three most important stages of ancient human development, and the Five Emperors from Xuanyuan Huangdi represent China's gradual transformation from a tribe to a country.
During the Sui Dynasty, people invented drilling wood for fire. Primitive people changed from raw food to cooked food, which completely separated them from the animal kingdom and had epoch-making significance for the development of human civilization. During the Fu period, people developed from consanguineous marriage to extramarital marriage, which solved the problem of racial degradation caused by consanguineous marriage. From then on, China gradually entered the patriarchal clan society from the matriarchal clan society. During Shennong period, people learned to plant and breed, from hunting and gathering to farming, and human society entered the era of farming civilization. Shennong's idea of "planting crops, growing grain and tasting herbs" has created real agriculture and medicine, and the Chinese ancestors moved towards a new era of grain production with hard-working hands.
During the Suiren period, people learned to make artificial fires, people's diet changed from raw food to cooked food, and people's physique improved accordingly. In the ancient Sui Ming country, which is now Shangqiu City, Henan Province, the Sui family rested here. Suiren's surname is Feng, first name. He is a minority in China. According to legend, it is the son of a Chao family. His wife, Hua Xushi, the inventor of drilling wood for fire, created the fire culture in China and was regarded as the "ancestor of fire" by later generations. The invention of drilling wood for fire completely got rid of the ancient people's dependence on natural kindling. Since then, human beings have started cooking in the true sense. The appearance of cooked food has ended the ancient history of mankind, which is of milestone significance for the enhancement of human physique and the evolution of the body. In the Paleolithic Age, primitive people hunted food and necessities with rough stone tools. At that time, primitive people ate the raw meat of animals, the roots, leaves and fruits of plants, and wore skins or clothes woven with plants. Because raw food is easy to get sick, life expectancy is very short. At that time, because many animal carcasses were exposed to the air, phosphorus in animal carcasses was prone to spontaneous combustion when exposed to the air, as well as the burning of bare coal, forest fires caused by absorbing solar heat or lightning in extremely dry forests, and so on, primitive people often saw firelight and continuous forest fires. But at that time, primitive people did not understand fire, regarded it as a monster, regarded it as an ominous thing, walked around it and lived away from it. With the increase of population, a wise man appeared in Shangqiu, Henan Province. He is called a wise man because of his extraordinary and unusual behavior. Others walk around the fire, and he goes to the place where there is fire; Others live far from the fire, but he often lives where there is fire; Small animals that others picked up and burned were always thrown away, but he tore some into his mouth and chewed them carefully. Through long-term experience, he discovered the wonderful use of fire. When you are near the fire in cold weather, your body will feel warmer. Eating burnt animal meat has less unpleasant smell than eating raw animal meat, and it tastes good and is easier to digest. So he called on people to roast and eat the roots, leaves and fruits of captured animals or picked plants on the fire. Slowly, everyone overcame the habit of eating raw food. He led the people around him to the place where there was fire when it was cold, so that people found a way to resist the cold. The wise man led everyone to know about fire and let people know the wonderful use of fire. But the fire of nature is not always there. In order to make people use fire anytime and anywhere, wise men led some people to explore and try hard to make fire artificially. After thousands of times of practice, they finally found two ways to make fire by drilling wood and hitting stones, which enabled the ancestors of the Chinese nation to master the technology of making and using fire. Because flint wood is mostly used to drill wood for fire, people call the person who invented artificial fire technology "flint man". At that time, people believed in and followed Sui, and soon formed an ancient clan tribe headed by Sui, which was later named "Sui and Ming Kingdom". The invention of artificial fire made people get rid of the dependence on natural fire at that time, thus making people change from raw food to cooked food a reality. The realization of cooked food has brought about great changes in human physiology, making our ancestors in China completely divorced from the animal kingdom. With the application of artificial fire, people began to burn forests and hunt, and really started the journey of conquering nature by using nature.
Sui people live mainly in eastern Henan, southwestern Shandong, northwestern Jiangsu and Anhui, and southern Hebei.
In memory of Sui Ren, the inventor of fire, Huang Sui Mausoleum was built three kilometers southwest of Shangqiu ancient city. Its tomb is about 10 meter high, surrounded by Zhou Songbai, and there is a stone statue in front of it. In order to make it convenient for people to commemorate and visit, Shangqiu Municipal Government has rebuilt and expanded the mausoleum of Emperor Yangdi, making it memorable and worth visiting. Every year from the first day of the first month to the second day of February, a grand ancient temple fair is held here, and millions of tourists from all over the country come here to worship Sui Ren. At the ceremony held to pay tribute, there was a speech like this:
