=== Life Sketch ===
帝嚳,中國歷史五帝之一,姬姓,名俊,號高辛氏,殷人稱夒。在甲骨文,嚳被稱呼為“學戊”或“嚳”。
祖父為玄囂,是黃帝妃嫘祖的大兒子。父親為蟜極。帝颛顼是嚳的伯父。
帝嚳自小有德行,聰明能幹。十五歲時,被帝顓頊選為助手,有功,被封于有辛(今河南商丘)。帝顓頊死後,他繼承帝位,時年三十歲。
傳說帝嚳繼為天下共主後,以亳(今河南偃師)為都城,以木德為帝。當時,共工氏實力強大,對嚳繼帝位極為不滿,憤怒得用頭撞擊不周山,使天柱折斷,大地斜向東南,並進而發動反叛。帝嚳下令火正黎帶兵平定共工之亂,失敗而回。帝嚳處死了黎,以黎的弟弟吳回繼任火正,再次領兵對付共工,最後平定叛亂,殺了共工氏。
帝嚳以仁愛治國,生活儉樸;他平常神色莊重靜穆,品德崇高如山。他廣施恩惠、仁愛、講究信譽。他了解民間的疾苦,對天下人都一律平等。他絕不違背自然規律,又恭敬地祭祀天地鬼神,祈求神靈降福萬民。由於他德行崇高,因此深受百姓的愛戴。在他的治理下,社會富足,人民安居樂業。
帝嚳亦能知人善任。羿的射箭技術天下無雙,帝嚳選拔他擔任射官,賜給他彤弓和蒿矢。羿也不負帝嚳深望,當白難反叛時,他一舉將其平定。咸黑、柞卜長於音樂和製作樂器,帝嚳命他們為樂官,終於創作出《九招》之樂和鼙鼓、笭、管、壎、簾等新樂器。
帝嚳有四妃。正妃有邰氏名姜嫄,生子棄,即后稷,是周朝的始祖。次妃有娀氏名簡狄,生子契,是商朝的始祖。次妃陳豐氏名慶都,生子放勳。次
次妃娵訾氏名常儀,生摯,帝嚳死後,摯承嚳的帝位,九年後禪讓給放勳,也就是帝堯。
相傳帝嚳活了一百零五歲(一說九十二歲),死後安葬於濮陽頓丘城南台陰野中。
曹植作《帝嚳贊》頌曰:“祖自軒轅,玄囂之裔,生言其名。木德治世。撫寧天地,神聖靈賓,教訖四海,明並日明。”

- Title: Wikiwand: Emperor Ku
Author: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Publication: Name: https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Emperor_Ku;
Note: Kù (simplified Chinese: 喾; traditional Chinese: 嚳, variant graph Chinese: 俈), usually referred to as Dì Kù (simplified Chinese: 帝喾; traditional Chinese: 帝嚳), also known as Gaoxin or Gāoxīn Shì (Chinese: 高辛氏), was a descendant of Huangdi, the Yellow Emperor. He went by the name Gaoxin until receiving imperial authority, when he took the name Ku and the title Di, thus being known as Di Ku. He is considered the ancestor of the ruling families of certain subsequent dynasties. Some sources treat Ku as a semi-historical figure, while others make fantastic mythological or religious claims about him. Besides varying in their degree of historicizing Ku, the various sources also differ in what specific stories about him they focus on, so that putting together the various elements of what is known regarding Ku results in a multifaceted story. Di Ku was (according to many versions of the list) one of the Five Emperors of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of Chinese mythology. Ku, or Gaoxin, is also known as the "White Emperor."
Birth
Ku's lineage is derived from descent from the legendary Yellow Emperor, then through the line of Shaohao (as opposed to the line through Changyi, which led to Zhuanxu). He was the son of Qiaoji (蟜極/蟜极), and thus grandson to Shaohao, and great-grandson to Yellow Emperor. According to speculative dates calculated after 100 BC by Liu Xin, he is supposed to have ruled from c. 2436 BC to c. 2366 BC, though other dates also are mentioned.
As emperor
When he became emperor, Ku added the title "Di," meaning "God-emperor," in front of his name. After achieving the imperial title, Ku was said to travel seasonally by riding a dragon in spring and summer, and a horse in autumn and winter. Among other things, Ku was said to be an inventor of musical instruments and composer of songs. According to the "Lüshi Chunqiu," drums, bells, chimes, pipes, ocarinas, and flutes all were invented, on the orders of Ku, by his subordinate Yourui; Ku's lyrics had musical scores composed by his assistant Xianhei; and by a further imperial command, a dance accompaniment was provided by a phoenix. Although Ku held the title "Di," it is unclear what territory, if any, his empire might have consisted of. The same title "Di" later was assumed by the King of Qin, upon conquering his neighboring kingdoms and forging them into the first historically known empire of China.
Wives and Descendants
Ku had several wives. The best known of his consorts are four ladies: Jiang Yuan, Jiandi, Changyi, and Qingdu. Once each of these ladies had given birth to a son (Houji, Xie, Zhi, and Yao, respectively) Ku had a diviner foretell for him which of the sons was destined to rule the empire, and he received the answer that all four would. Another source mentions a lady with whom he had eight sons, each one born after she had dreamed of swallowing the sun; although her name is uncertain, she was said to be from Zoutu. Shiji also recorded the lineage names of Zhi's mother as Juzi (娵訾氏) and Yao's mother as Chenfeng (陳鋒氏).
According to some traditions, each of these four sons inherited Ku's empire or was ancestral founder of a Chinese dynasty. The first of Ku's sons to rule the kingdom was Emperor Zhi, who was the son of Changyi. Another of his sons later became the Emperor Yao. Ku's son Xie, born miraculously to Jiandi after she swallowed the egg of a black bird, became the pre-dynastic founder of the ruling family of the Shang dynasty. Ku's son Houji, born miraculously to Jiang Yuan after she stepped in the footprint of a god, became the pre-dynastic founder of the lineage of the Zhou dynasty.
According to "Samguk Sagi," the kings of Goguryeo regarded themselves as a descendant of Chinese heroes because he called his surname "Go" (Hanja: 高) as they were the descendant of Gao Yang (Hanja: 高陽) who was a grandchild of the Yellow Emperor and Gaoxin (Hanja: 高辛) who was a great-grandchild of Yellow Emperor.
Bamboo Annals
In the "Bamboo Annals," one of the earliest sources, it is mentioned that when Emperor Zhuanxu died, a descendant of Shennong named Shuqi raised a disturbance, but was destroyed a descendant of Huangdi, Ku (of the Gaoxin lineage) the Prince of Xin; Ku then ascended to the throne. It also states that Ku "was born with double rows of teeth, and had the wisdom of a sage," and that he "made blind men beat drums, and strike bells and sounding stones, at which phoenixes flapped their wings and gambolled." The "Annals" further record that in the 16th year of his reign, he sent his general Chong to defeat the state of Yukwai. In the 45th year, Ku designated the prince of Tang (his son Yao) as his successor, however upon his death in the 63rd year, his elder son Zhi then took the throne instead, ruling 9 years before being deposed and replaced by Yao.
