Brief introduction of Mo Dayu:
The author of an essay in Shangshu, one of the five Confucian classics, is unknown. The content of this paper can be divided into four parts: The first part is the preface, which introduces the reasons for writing Da Yu Mo, Hao Tao Mo and Yi Di; In the second part, Shun Di discussed politics with Dayu and Boyi, praised the virtue of Emperor Yao and expounded his own way of governing the country.
The third part describes the process of Shun Zen in Yu. The fourth part describes Dayu's conquest of Miao nationality, and finally his influence by virtue.
It is said that Great Mo Yu is a pseudo-ancient prose, and the post-Confucianism compiled Great Mo Yu for the purpose of linking Yao Dian and Shun Dian, building an ancient history system of "two emperors and three kings" after Shangshu and Zhou Shu, and carrying forward the Taoist tradition of ancient emperors.
