It is said that there was a big flood in ancient China. The scale of the flood and the severity of the disaster are unimaginable. Throughout Wang Yang, crops were flooded, houses collapsed, and people, old and young, fled to the mountains or trees. Although some people fled to the mountains or trees, they soon froze to death and starved to death because they could not stand the wind and rain, especially because they could not find food. Although some people are lucky enough to escape to bigger mountains, they can live in caves, or use branches and leaves to shelter themselves from the wind and rain, looking for bark and wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger and temporarily maintain their lives, but there are many people and few trees, and all kinds of poisonous snakes and beasts are threatening human beings because of avoiding floods, so they can really be counted.
At this time, people cried out to the Emperor of Heaven, begging him to drive away the flood and save them from death. And the god of heaven, who is high above, only cares about the fun in the sky, and doesn't care about the suffering "Ant Man" (in his eyes, the people below are as worthless as ants), and doesn't care about people's cries.
The tragic experience of people moved the God Gun (gǔn), who ordered the God Bird to steal the fallow soil that could prevent floods. Although the "leisure soil" is small, its weight is not light. The turtle was asked to carry the gun, and the turtle put it on the ground, and the earth immediately improved.
When the Emperor of Heaven knew about it, he took back the "rest land" and sent Vulcan to kill the gun. Three years later, the gun's E69DA5E6BA903231335323635438+034313333313336465165 suddenly exploded. After I was born, the gun became a fugue. Yu decided to control the water like his father Gun, but he didn't ask the Emperor of Heaven, but led his men to control the water. They killed the fiend * * * who caused the flood, but the * * * workers found out and ran away.
Yu's main purpose is to dredge the river. Many gods are willing to contribute when they know about it. Fuxi sent Yu a Eight Diagrams Map, and Feng Yi, the river god, sent Yu a River Map. After Yu accepted it, he began to control water. Even the tortoise and Ying Long, who helped Gun steal fallow soil, came to help and made rapid progress. But when they arrived at Longmen, the problem was big: Longmen is an important throat. Yu and his subordinates and friends spent five years opening a gap in Longmen to make the river flow smoothly.
Yu's wife gave birth to a son named Qi. Yu passed by the house and didn't go in. That's it. During the flood control, I passed by his house three times and never went in once.
Time passed day by day. From the south to the north, from the place where the sun rises to the place where the sun sets, regardless of the wind and rain, regardless of hardship and fatigue, always lead people to engage in the hard work of water control. Thirteen years later, Yu finally managed the flood and fulfilled his last wish.
(abridged version)
The flood was terrible, and guns stole the land of the Emperor of Heaven to stop the flood and disobeyed the orders of the Emperor of Heaven. The Emperor sent Zhu Rong to the outskirts of Yushan to kill the gun. Yu was born in Gun's belly, and the Emperor of Heaven ordered Yu to lead his men to fill the earth to calm the flood and stabilize Kyushu. Yu used dredging water to calm the flood.
Yu and his son are both good heroes who sacrificed their lives to save others.
2. The answer to water control in classical Chinese is that the flood is terrible, and thieves steal the emperor's land to flood, not waiting for the emperor's life; The emperor ordered Zhu Rong to kill the gun in the feather suburb. Gun resurrected Yu, and the emperor ordered Yu to pave the soil for Kyushu.
When the flood raged, Gun (gǔn) stole the fertile soil of Shun Di (which could grow endlessly) to fill the flood without asking Shun Di in advance. Shun Di ordered Zhu Rong (Vulcan) to be executed in the feather suburb (in the shadow of the North Pole, where the sun can't be seen). Gun gave birth to Yu again, so he ordered Yu to finally dig a hole to clear the flood and settle the world.

3. The source of Yu Yu's water control "Shanhaijing Haineijing" Shanhaijing-Haijing-Hainanjing Volume XVIII.
Shan Hai Jing is the first large-scale geographical work describing mountains, rivers, products and customs in China, and it is also the first collection of myths and legends in ancient China. There are eighteen books, which are divided into two parts: mountain classics and sea classics.
Mountain classics, that is, the five Tibetan mountain classics; Hai Jing includes four overseas classics, four domestic classics, four unofficial history classics and another domestic classic. It describes many local myths and legends with the description of mountains and rivers around the country as the key link.
Among them, the myths and legends such as Jingwei's reclamation, daytime, Houyi's shooting at the sun, Yu's harnessing water, and Huangdi's capture of Chiyou reflect the heroic spirit of the Chinese nation. Shan Hai Jing has been handed down for 18 volumes, including 5 volumes of Shan Hai Jing and 3 volumes of Hai Jing 13. The age of each volume is unknown, of which 14 is the work of the Warring States period and 4 is the work of the early Western Han Dynasty.
The contents of Shan Hai Jing are mainly geographical knowledge in folklore, including mountains and rivers, Taoism, nationalities, products, medicines, sacrifices and witch doctors. It has preserved many famous ancient myths, legends and fables, including Kuafu's day by day, Goddess's mending the sky, Jingwei's reclamation and Dayu's harnessing the water.
Shan Hai Jing has extraordinary literature value, which can be used as a reference for studying China's ancient history, geography, culture, Chinese and foreign transportation, folk customs and myths, among which the mineral records are the earliest related documents in the world. The edition of Shan Hai Jing is complicated, so the earliest edition is the Biography of Shan Hai Jing in Guo Pu.
But when it comes to Historical Records, the title of Shan Hai Jing, the earliest bibliography is Hanshu Yiwenzhi. As for its real author, many predecessors thought it was Yu and Bo Yi, and it was compiled by Liu Xiang and Liu Xin in the Western Han Dynasty. Now, many people think that the exact date and author of this book cannot be confirmed.
Shan Hai Jing has a great influence and is highly valued by international sinologists. Scholars in ancient and modern times have different understandings of its content and nature. For example, Sima Qian bluntly said that its content was "dare not say anything", and Lu Xun thought it was "the book of wizards and alchemists". Therefore, Shan Hai Jing is an early and valuable geographical work.
Shan Hai Jing is a book that records ancient myths, geography, plants, animals, minerals, products, witchcraft, religion, medicine, folk customs and nationalities in China, and reflects all kinds of cultural phenomena. Besides preserving rich mythological materials, it also involves many academic fields, such as philosophy, aesthetics, religion, history, geography, astronomy, meteorology, medicine, animals, plants, minerals, folklore, ethnology, geology, oceanography, psychology, anthropology and so on. It can be said that Wang Yang is a vast place, just like the sea and the sun.
In the case of underdeveloped ancient culture, science and technology and transportation, Shan Hai Jing is a wonderful book with the most myths recorded in China, and it is also an encyclopedia of geographical knowledge.
In ancient times, the greatest harm to people's agricultural production was probably flood, so there were myths and legends about flood in primitive civilization.
The flood myth in Christian culture is God's punishment for human crimes and human introspection, while our flood myth emphasizes human resistance to nature and self-salvation. Legend has it that there was a big flood in Yao, and everyone unanimously recommended Gun to control water. He first went to heaven and begged the Emperor to recover the flood and give people a peaceful life, but it was useless. So he used the method of "blocking" to control water, put the soil in the highlands in low-lying areas and blocked all rivers.
However, after nine years of water control, floods are still raging. Just when he was bored, an owl and a turtle passed by and told him that he could steal the treasure of heaven to stop the flood.
Gun knows the guilt of this move, but seeing so many people who have suffered, he did not hesitate to overcome all difficulties and stole the "resting place". Loam is really amazing. Where it is dispersed, it will form mountains to stop floods, and it will automatically increase with the rise of water potential.
After the Emperor of Heaven knew that Gun had stolen loam, he sent Vulcan Zhu Rong to kill Gun in the feather suburb and get back loam, and the flood flooded again. If a gun dies unsatisfied, a corpse will not rot for three years. Knowing that he was afraid of Gun becoming a monster, the Emperor sent Zhu Rong to cut open Gun's belly again with the sharpest "Wu Dao" in the world to see what happened.
But a miracle happened, and a man jumped out of Gun's stomach, that is Gun's son Yu; Yu inherited his father's career, and after nine years, the flood was finally completely subdued. He died unsatisfied, not because he cared about his own life and death, but because he missed the ideal and failed to control the water, and the people still lived in dire straits.
