虞舜者，名曰重华，据传是帝颛顼的六代孙。又其名中有一重字，在
前面我们知道，帝颛顼“绝地通天”宗教大改革之后，规定只有自己和司
天的重一族可以上会天神。如此我们说帝舜与神巫一派有极深的关系，似
不为虚言。但帝颛顼或重的这一旁支到重华时已经大大衰落了。但重华仍
能自振以孝闻名天下，让人不能不感慨帝颛顼的神巫一派却也是人才辈出，
命不该绝。年少时重华历遍穷通，史记上记载，“舜耕历山，渔雷泽，陶
河滨，作什器於寿丘，就时於负夏。”也就是说除了牧，农渔陶工商，劳苦
大众营生的活计几乎没有他没干过的。也正是因了少时的经历，被举为神巫
一派的统治者之后，帝舜对底层的生活不至于像其他显赫的神巫氏族一样有
疏远隔绝之感。我们可以说帝舜的统治思想较前任更具有亲民的元素，史书
上也是这么记载的，因此帝舜十分清楚自己所统治的社会，从下到上究竟是
个什么样子。这也为代表神巫一派帝舜能与代表共工一派的禹同舟共济，擘
画革新垫下了思想上的基础。
夏禹，名曰文命。禹之父曰鲧，鲧之父曰帝颛顼。至于鲧到底是不是帝颛顼
的儿子，已不可考。但是可以说明鲧这一支虽以治水名，社会形态与共工氏
相近，血缘上却是黄帝一系的后代，其与神巫一派的关系比出身炎帝的共工
氏要紧密的多。这也可能是为什么尧勉强能用鲧治水的宗亲方面的背景。
於是尧听四岳，用鲧治水。九年而水不息，功用不成。於是帝尧乃求人，
更得舜。舜登用，摄行天子之政，巡狩。行视鲧之治水无状，乃殛鲧於羽山
以死。天下皆以舜之诛为是。於是舜举鲧子禹，而使续鲧之业。——史记•夏本纪
夏禹登上历史舞台是背负着父亲被殛的沉重包袱的。但沧海横流方显英雄
本色，文命此时临危受命，除了帝舜开明，继续重用他，要其将功赎罪外；
天纵英明的他胸中早已有了一套成熟的治水计划。史记记载“禹为人敏给
克勤；其德不违，其仁可亲，其言可信；声为律，身为度，称以出；亹亹
穆穆，为纲为纪。”我们可以看到，经过多年的发展，共工阶层终于出现
了一位能融合神巫与共工两派优秀元素的领导者。这一次，他将不会再
蹈先辈的覆辙。

About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
Take part in numerous events for the E-Sim community.
