When the dragon blocks the river, it often puts dumplings on the flood head, which makes the flood engulf the fields like a beast and hurt people and animals. Limin's people have long hated dragons and jiaozi. As soon as people saw the flood, they knew that jiaozi was working again. So far, Hancheng people still call floods everywhere "starting from the ground".
When Wang Yu chiseled the dragon gate, he cut the dragon in the middle. On his deathbed, the dragon called his evil "Jiaozi" and asked him to destroy the Yellow River embankment, which caused the flood to flood again, and the great cause of water control in Yu Wang was abandoned. Jiao understood the dragon father's malice and hid in rushes on the Yellow River beach, waiting for an opportunity to make waves.
When June comes, the Yellow River overflows again. I saw the yellow waves rolling, touching the dragon gate and entering the ocean, never to return. Suddenly, the river raised a huge wave several feet high, but the wave stopped moving. The river, which originally flowed from north to south, rampaged to the east and west banks, causing large chunks of high earth cliffs on the shore to collapse, fertile fields and villages to collapse into the Yellow River water, causing countless human and animal casualties, and parents and brothers complained bitterly.
Dayu, who shared weal and woe with the people, stood on the bank of the Yellow River with the refugees. He looked at the tragic scene before him, and his face was covered with clouds. So he asked an old stonemason with a white beard around him why the Yellow River collapsed. The old stonemason said:? "Insurance is evil again." Dayu asked him how to subdue the evil dumpling.
The old stonemason looked up and recognized that the man standing in front of him was Dayu, who was loved by everyone. He said, "If Yu Can controls the water, jiaozi can be locked." One of them, Dayu, bowed deeply to the old stonemason and said, "If you want to lock jiaozi, you need local people." The old stonemason knelt before Yu Wang and said, "It's important to lock up jiaozi. I want to provide a stone lock. " Say, two people embrace each other together, * * * to discuss the dumpling lock event.
Although there is a big stone lock at this time, what should be used to tie jiaozi's body? You know, people didn't know how to grow hemp rope at that time! In the predicament, some refugees said: "The long kudzu strips on Longmen Mountain can tie jiaozi." It's true. Later generations often carry old urns with kudzu sticks!
Dayu said goodbye to everyone, went to Longmenshan to ask local people to cut kudzu vine strips, and ordered sailors to discharge wood into the flood of the Yellow River. He jumped on the raft first, took a dozen strong men with good water, braved the wind and waves, and went straight to the wave peak several feet high. When Evil Dumpling saw that Dayu had come with people through the waves, he was so angry that he swallowed like a snake and his stomach was bulging.
It tried its best, and as soon as its tail fell off, it saw the surging waves rushing to the raft on which Dayu was riding. The evil dumpling opened its mouth and stuck out its tongue, and was about to hurt Dayu, but Dayu took the opportunity to get close to the evil dumpling, threw out ninety-nine kudzu vine strips and tied the evil dumpling tightly at once. The evil dumpling still wants to struggle, but when it is wet, it pulls tighter and tighter.
These days, the huge waves of the Yellow River receded with a "wow". The river bank will not collapse. The fertile land and village were saved. King Yu and the sailors locked the evil dumpling on the boulder in the middle of the river at the exit of Longmen with a big stone lock. After Dayu went ashore, he wanted to thank the old stonemason with white beard who offered the stone lock, but he never saw the old man again. He thought it was probably an epiphany of the mountain gods, so he made three obeisances to Longmen Mountain.
Over time, kudzu vine rotted, and the evil dumpling was locked and flowed into the sea. Later, it was said that Jiao Chang became a monster, but he was still locked up at the bottom of the sea. This is the "underwater dragon" heard in ancient novels. ?

1, you can't enter the house after three times.
Legend has it that shortly after marriage with Tu Shanshi, he left his wife and set foot on the road of water control. Later, he passed by the door and heard the sound of his wife giving birth and his son falling to the ground. But at the thought of cutting mountains to divert water, he forgot to go home and embarked on the front line of water control.
When I passed by my hometown for the third time, my son Qi was held in my mother's arms. He can already call his father, waving his little hand and greeting Yu. I just waved to my wife and children to show that I saw it, but I still didn't stop.
2. Tushan Club
After the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, Dayu held a governors' meeting in Tushan as soon as possible to review his mistakes. This Tushan Conference is generally regarded as a landmark event in the establishment of the Xia Dynasty in China. On the day of the formal meeting, Dayu stood on the stage in a robe and Xuangui in hand. According to the direction of his land, the four governors bowed to Dayu as a gift, and Dayu also bowed to him on the stage.
After the ceremony, Yu Xia said loudly to the princes, "I am humble and fresh, which is not enough to convince the public. I called everyone to this meeting in the hope that everyone can understand sincere blame, discipline and persuasion, let me know and let me change. " I try to level the soil and water. Although I have done a little work, I am the most serious in my life.
The first emperor often warned me:' If you are not proud, the world will not compete with you for energy; If you don't cut back, the world will not compete with you. If I am proud of cutting, please tell me to my face, otherwise it will teach me to be ruthless! I will listen to your teachings. "Everyone knows that Dayu was ordered by heaven, and the governors who had contradictions with Dayu saw this attitude, and they all expressed their respect and admiration and eliminated the original doubts. According to historical records, "Hui Yu is a vassal of Tushan, and all countries hold jade and silk".
3. Casting Jiuding
After the Tushan Congress, in order to show respect, governors from all sides often come to Yangcheng to offer gold (that is, bronze). Later, the copper contributed by Kyushu increased year by year. Dayu remembered that Xuanyuan Huangdi had successfully cast a tripod. In order to commemorate the Tu Shan Congress, he is going to cast gold presented by governors from all directions into several cauldrons. After casting Jiuding (Jizhou Ding, Yanzhou Ding, Qingzhou Ding, Xuzhou Ding, Yangzhou Ding, Jingzhou Ding, Yuzhou Ding, Liangzhou Ding, Yongzhou Ding), famous mountains, rivers, birds and animals were cast on the Ding.
Jiuding symbolizes Kyushu, in which Yuzhou Ding is the central tripod and Yuzhou is the central hub. Jiuding concentrated in Yangcheng, the capital of Xia Dynasty, to show that Wang Dayu in Xia Dynasty became the master of Kyushu, and the world was unified from then on. Jiuding then became a place of "destiny", a symbol of supremacy of kingship and national unity and prosperity.
