Extended data:
The Three Emperors and Five Emperors are not real emperors, but refer to tribal leaders or tribal alliance leaders who have made outstanding contributions to mankind in the middle and late primitive society, and later generations revere them as "emperors" or "emperors".
Taoism regards them as gods and publicizes their great achievements with all kinds of beautiful myths and legends. Generally speaking, the people referred to in "san huang's Theory" are the symbols of China's ancestors in different prehistoric cultural stages.
Suiren and Baoxi (Fuxi) respectively represent the three stages of ignorance: the low stage, the middle stage and the high stage. Shennong represents the lower stage of barbarism; Nu Wa, on the other hand, was an earlier creational deity, and in mythology, she combined with Fuxi to create human beings.
The people referred to in the "Five Emperors Theory" are mainly some kings or military leaders in the heyday of the patriarchal tribal alliance and the period of military democracy when it disintegrated.
