它讲述了一个关于帝挚这个人物生平的故事，帝挚是帝喾次妃常仪的儿子、帝喾长子，号青阳氏。受帝喾之禅而继位。在位时，他十五岁的弟弟放勋辅佐他。后来，他封放勋尧于唐，称唐尧。九年后禅让给弟弟放勋（另一说：帝挚死，尧即位）。
关于他的经历和命运，有着不同的记载。司马迁《史记》记载云：“帝喾崩，而挚代立。帝挚立，不善，而帝放勋立，是为帝尧。”皇甫谧《汉书·百家传》说： Emperor Zhi was born to Empress Cigui, the second wife of Emperor Ku. He was the eldest son of Emperor Ku and succeeded him as emperor at a young age. During his reign, he relied on his brother Prince Wang to assist him in governing the country.
However, Emperor Zhi's rule was not well-received by historians. According to Ma Rong's "Shiji" (Record of Historical Events), Emperor Zhi was known for his extravagance and indulgence in pleasures, which led to chaos and disorder in the country. His reign ended abruptly when he died suddenly at the age of 58.
The story of Emperor Zhi is a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked power and greed. Despite his early death, his legacy lived on as a reminder of what can happen when an emperor becomes too consumed by personal desires.
