  Yao (ruler) Summary
Shun continued to serve his father as a son should and without resentment; according to the Mengzi, his father was in the end pleased.
Motifs in the story of Shun's succession, such as the ruler's perception of his successor's virtue in spite of his lowly position and his willingness to rely on a man of low birth, also occur in the legends that surround the foundation of the hereditary dynasties.
Shun has been identified with Di ku (who gave birth to the first Shang ancestor, Xie, by means of the egg of a fl bird) and with Zhun, the husband of Xihe (who gave birth to the ten suns) and possibly the highest ancestor claimed by the Shang kings in their oracle-bone inscriptions.

Early Chinese often speak of Yao, Shun and Yu as historical figures, and contemporary historians believe they may represent leader-chiefs of allied tribes who established a unified and hierarchical system of government in a transition period to the patriachal feudal society.
According to legend, Yao became the ruler at 20 and died at 119 when he passed his throne in favor of the Great Shun, to whom he gave his two daughters in marriage.

Some experts say that Shun is weak at the higher levels because an expert is not fooled by the deceptive nature of Shun's attacks, and can block and counter them fairly easily.

The loss of southern Shanxi was a huge blow to the Ming government, for it had depended on the natural defenses of the lower Huang He (Yellow River) to protect it from the bandits of the western provinces.
According to Li's master plan, the smaller Shun army would threaten the capital from the south through Baoding, while Li's main force tread through the Great Wall garrisons in northern Shanxi and Beizhili (the northern capital district, now Hebei province) and attack the capital from the north.
The strategic pass connects the mountainous province of Shanxi to the Hebei plains that surround present-day Beijing, and therefore the capture of the pass was crucial to Li.

 Thomas a Kempis - The Imitation of Christ
SHUN the gossip of men as much as possible, for discussion of worldly affairs, even though sincere, is a great distraction inasmuch as we are quickly ensnared and captivated by vanity.
It is, however, a very great thing indeed to be able to live without either divine or human comforting and for the honor of God willingly to endure this exile of heart, not to seek oneself in anything, and to think nothing of one's own merit.
If a man give all his wealth, it is nothing; if he do great penance, it is little; if he gain all knowledge, he is still far afield; if he have great virtue and much ardent devotion, he still lacks a great deal, and especially, the one thing that is most necessary to him.

 Shun Classic 3 1/2 Inch Paring Knife :: Education by Design Store
Made in the ancient city of Seki, Japan, Shun knives rely on extremely sharp blades, made of Japanese VG10 steel clad with 32 layers (16 on each side) of a proprietary blend of high-carbon stainless pounded so thin, it delivers precision slicing, cutting and chopping that is unprecedented by any of its German competitors.
Sharper out of the box than other knives, the Shun Classic maintains its sharpness longer, since the finely-polished blade edge has a natural tendency to remain straighter, yet when required, it can be honed using a standard steel or sent to the factory for free sharpening.
This knife is great, but I won't be able to get a larger version unless they do away with the "D-shaped Pakkawood handle; comfortable offset steel bolster" or make a left-handed version.
