The capital was originally located in Qiongsang, and later moved to Shangqiu.

顓頊（zhuān xū）去世後，由黃帝曾孫帝嚳（kù）繼位。在流傳下來的神話傳說中，顓頊是主琯北方的天帝。《史記·五帝本紀》記載顓頊：“靜淵以有謀，疎通而知事”。

After Zhuanxu's death, Emperor Ku, the great-grandson of Emperor Huangdi, succeeded him. In the myths and legends handed down, Zhuanxu was the emperor of heaven in charge of the north. The "Records of the Grand Historian: Annals of the Five Emperors" records that Zhuanxu was "calm and profound with a plan, open and knowledgeable with knowledge of affairs."
