Taihao Fuxi is a wise emperor in ancient myths and legends of China. He is "the head of a hundred kings" and ranks first among the five emperors in Huang San. In the evolution of human society from matriarchal to paternal, from barbarism to civilization, he made great achievements as a monkey with his own intelligence and wisdom. Later generations therefore called him "the ancestor" and "the originator of Sven". "Tai Hao" is people's praise for Fuxi, which means that Fuxi's merits are boundless and bright as the sun and the moon. In order to commemorate the achievements of our ancestors, Fuxi Mausoleum was built here in the Spring and Autumn Period. When Confucius traveled around the world to visit the State of Chen, Chen Linggong accompanied Confucius to visit the mausoleum. The Zeng of Cao Weizhi in the Three Kingdoms
