Instead, he chose a man with noble character and outstanding ability. of Shun. Before Yao died, he also told Shun to pass the throne to a man with both ability and political integrity. After that, Shun passed the throne to Yu who had done great work in controlling floods. In fact, these leaders were very kind to the people and did many good things.
