In Mencius and Zhang Wan, he also admitted that Yu was a saint rather than a son. However, "the sage of heaven is a sage, and the son of heaven is a son", which cannot violate the "destiny". You see, "Yu Jian is beneficial to the sky" is intended to spread the sage. But "in seven years, Yu collapsed, and after three years of mourning, Yu's son was sheltered in the shadow of Jishan Mountain, and it was useless to go to prison, saying,' My son is also.'
