上古时期，天地相通，人神混居，秩序混乱。颛顼帝为整顿人间秩序，下令让重、黎两位大神将天地分开，断绝了凡人直接与神灵沟通的途径。此后，只有专职的巫祝才能代表人类与上天交流，神权与王权开始分离，一个有明确等级的社会秩序由此建立。

In ancient times, heaven and earth were connected, and humans and gods lived together in chaos. To restore order, Emperor Zhuanxu ordered two gods, Zhong and Li, to separate heaven and earth, cutting off the direct communication between mortals and the divine. From then on, only dedicated shamans could communicate with heaven on behalf of humanity, marking the separation of divine and royal power and the establishment of a hierarchical social order.
