Emperor Ku married to a daughter of Chenfeng's and gave birth to Fangxun. And Emperor Ku married to a daughter of the Juzi’s, and gave birth to Zhi. When Emperor Ku died, Zhi succeeded him. Emperor Ku got on the position but he was no good. The younger brother Fangxun then got on instead, so there was Emperor Yao.

The Emperor Yao, his name was Fangxun. His benevolence was like heaven, his knowledge was like God. He had the likeness of the sun, and the appearance of the clouds. Wealthy but not arrogant, and noble but not unpleasant. With yellow crown and black robe, and on red chariot and white horse. He was able to understand and cultivate virtues, and to be close to nine tribes. Since the nine tribes were in harmony, the people were easy to be regulated. All the people were enlightened and all nations were united.

帝喾娶陈锋氏女，生放勋。娶娵訾氏女，生挚。帝喾崩，而挚代立。帝挚立，不善，而弟放勋立，是为帝尧。

帝尧者，放勋。其仁如天，其知如神。就之如日，望之如云。富而不骄，贵而不舒。黄收纯衣，彤车乘白马。能明驯德，以亲九族。九族既睦，便章百姓。百姓昭明，合和万国。
