He worked with the people, wearing a hat and holding a shovel, taking the lead in digging holes and collecting soil, so tired that he polished the hair on his calf. Nine years later, he didn't enter the house and finally succeeded. After thirteen years of hard work, Yu finally led the flood to the sea, and the ground can be used to grow human crops again. Later generations also honored Yu as "Dayu".

Dayu dredged the waterway according to the picture given to him by Hebo, and finally managed the Yellow River.
