Legend of the Three Sovereigns

The Legend of the Three Sovereigns is a traditional Chinese myth describing three legendary rulers—also called deities or divine emperors—who guided early Chinese civilization. These Sovereigns are often associated with teaching essential skills like agriculture, medicine, and social order, helping humanity progress from primitive to advanced society. They are revered for their wisdom, benevolence, and contributions to culture, and their stories symbolize the foundation of Chinese civilization and moral values. Although their historical existence is debated, their legends serve as important cultural symbols representing divine guidance and the origins of Chinese society.
