It was early winter, and the Yellow River water had not yet frozen, but only when the river was frozen into a solid ice army could it pass smoothly. What shall we do? Chu Zhuangwang worried day and night, and his beard and hair turned white overnight.

The next morning, two men came to report: "The Yellow River has been frozen." King Zhuang was overjoyed and quickly ordered the three armies to cross the river quickly. When I got to the river, I saw that the river was still flowing happily and there was no ice at all. However, there is a wide pontoon bridge connected by boat, which is safe and stable, just suitable for the army to cross the river.

King Zhuang was puzzled and was about to dismount and inspect. Suddenly, two men climbed up from the river and punched Chu Zhuangwang. The clear voice said, "Your Majesty, we are the boatmen of the Yellow River. I heard that you want to cross the river for the benefit of the people, so it took you all night to build this pontoon bridge, so please ask the army to go on the road. " Chu Zhuangwang was moved to tears: "I will live up to the people's love and let everyone live a good life!" "Say, immediately drove across the bridge, led the troops to the east.

In ancient times, there was a man named Feng Yi in Huayin General Township. He feels uncomfortable farming, but he is bent on becoming an immortal. He heard that people can become immortals after drinking the juice of daffodils for one hundred days. So I looked everywhere for daffodils.

Feng Yi ran around looking for daffodils, often crossing, crossing and dealing with the Yellow River. Ninety-nine days passed in the blink of an eye, and then I found a daffodil and sucked the juice of the daffodil for a day, so I could become an immortal. Feng Yi was so proud that he crossed the Yellow River and went to a small village to look for daffodils. The water here is not deep. Feng Yi waded across the river and reached the middle of it. Suddenly, the river rose. He panicked, slipped, fell into the Yellow River and was drowned alive.

After Feng Yi's death, she was full of grievances and resentments and hated the Yellow River, so she went to the Jade Emperor to sue the Yellow River. The Jade Emperor was also annoyed when he heard that the Yellow River was undisciplined and wandering around, endangering the people. Seeing that Feng Yi had been sucking the juice of daffodils for ninety-nine days, it was time to become an immortal. He asked Feng Yi if he would be the water god of the Yellow River and govern it. Feng Yi was overjoyed. Realize your wish to become an immortal. Become a Hebo.

3. "Looking at the ocean and sighing"

According to legend, a long time ago, there was a river god named Hebo in the Yellow River. He stood on the bank of the Yellow River. Looking at the Yellow River flowing from west to east, he said excitedly; "The Yellow River is so big that no river in the world can compare with it. I am the biggest water god! " Someone told him, "What you said is wrong. There is a place called Beihai in the east of the Yellow River. That's really big. "

Herb said, "I don't believe it. No matter how big the North Sea is, can it be bigger than the Yellow River? " The man said: "Don't mention a Yellow River, even if several Yellow Rivers flow into the North Sea, they are not satisfied." Hebo never believed it. The man was helpless and said to him, "You will understand what I am talking about when you have a chance to see the North Sea."

When Herb came to the mouth of the Yellow River, his eyes sparkled and Poseidon welcomed him with a smile. Hebo looked around and saw Wang Yang in the North Sea, as far as the eye could see. He looked blankly for a while and said to Beihai Ruo with deep feelings: "If you only know some truth, you think no one can compare with yourself. This is me. " If I hadn't seen the North Sea with my own eyes today, I would have thought the Yellow River was chinese odyssey! In that case, you will never be laughed at by knowledgeable people. "

4. "Lu Ban Jian General Column"

The Yellow River flows fast in Sangyuan Gorge, but there is a big stone standing in the rapids of the Yellow River in the middle of Sangyuan Gorge. People call it the general column. It is said that this general column was built by Lu Ban. When Lu Ban traveled around the world, he came to the edge of Sangyuan Gorge to facilitate exchanges between people on both sides of the strait. Lu Ban chose the location of the pier in this place of the general column. From then on, Lu Ban went out early and returned late, taking charge of the construction. After half a year, the pier grew taller.

One day, Luban's wife brought food to the shore. After waiting for a while, she didn't see Luban, so she went to the shore to have a look. Who knows, she saw a giant standing in the river, with a boulder in one hand and a hammer in the other, and his wife exclaimed. Ruban panicked and a hammer hit his leg. The stone in hand also flew to the other side of the mountain, and the bridge was not built.

Up to now, there is a very smooth stone on the general column, which seems to be printed on the back of the whole person, with the spine in the middle, which divides the stone in two, as if it was left after a long rest. Legend has it that this was left by Lu Ban when he built the bridge.

There was a young man named Yellow River who was very brave. He fell in love with a rich woman. But the woman's father looked down on him, so he made things difficult for him everywhere. Once he shot an arrow at the woman's father and missed it, because he never missed it, so he went to the mountains to practice. Once he accidentally shot down a bird, and the bird told him that the girl committed suicide. The young man was very sad and kept crying, forming a rolling Yellow River.
