Of the Chinese remembering the lost golden ages of the ancient Chinese emperors . . .

The Chinese had a golden age, a legend, and a character that reminds us of the early history of man. In their golden age, they had a Yellow Emperor called Huang-Ti who ruled for a hundred years.

During this time, there was superlative development in China with peaceful people, hospitable weather and friendly birds and animals that never killed humans. A legend in that same land tells of the age of the “Period of the Great Ten” emperors, which ended in a Flood. One of the ancient rulers, Yu, called the conqueror of the Great Flood, was said to have resettled his people by diverting the Flood waters into rivers and seas.

In Chinese writing, the character for “ship” is a combination of vessel, eight, and persons—a representation of Noah’s eight family members in that floating ark.
