In the process of Dayu's water control, several emperor platforms, such as Diyao, Danzhu, Shun Di and * * *, appeared successively. Where are these platforms now?

The ancient country of Loulan disappeared in the desert. We know that it once existed because of archaeological evidence. She disappeared in the smoke of the Warring States. We don't doubt that she once existed, because there are ancient records. However, according to Shan Hai Jing, there are five fairy mountains in the east of Bohai Sea, namely Daiyu, Qiao Yuan, Fanghu, Yingzhou and Penglai, where many immortals live. Due to natural and man-made disasters, Daigu Mountain and Yuan 'ao Mountain sank into the sea, and countless residents fled to other places, and some people lived in the water.

Can't go on a hot day. " For thousands of years, scholars have been looking for this mountain and looking for it. It's written in Shan Hai Jing, just in Africa.

"Shan Hai Jing Hai Nei Bei Jing" wrote: "The lonely and luxurious country is in the sea, belonging to the lonely and luxurious, southwest, surrounded by mountains."
