Dayu was born on June 6th, 2297 BC, and died at the age of 100 BC in August, 1998. Dayu is the great-grandson of the Yellow Emperor. His surname is Si, and his first name is Si. Dayu's father called a gun.
In ancient China, when floods flooded, people had nowhere to live and no livelihood, and were often attacked by animals. The king was in a hurry, called the tribal leaders to discuss and decided to send Gun to control the flood.
Gun accepted the order and thought hard in the face of the raging flood. He thinks that as long as a high embankment is built around the village, the flood can be stopped. However, where can we find so many earthwork to repair the levee? At this time, a turtle climbed out of the water and told the herring, "There is a treasure in heaven called fallow soil. As long as you can get it and throw it on the earth, it will grow up immediately, pile up into a dike and pile up into a mountain. " The gun is very happy. He bid farewell to Gui Ling and headed for the far west.
Gun went through all kinds of hardships and finally went to Kunlun Mountain in the west and met the emperor. He begged the emperor to give him rest land to control the flood and save the people, but the emperor refused his request. Gun was worried about the people who suffered in the flood, so he took advantage of the negligence of the heavenly soldiers and stole the rest of the land. Gun returned to the east and threw the cultivated land into the water. Sure enough, cultivated land grew rapidly at once. If the flood rises by one meter, the cultivated land will grow by one meter, and if the flood rises by ten meters, the cultivated land will grow by ten meters. Soon the flood was kept out of the levee. People broke away from the flood, cheered and began to cultivate and produce.
Knowing that Gun had stolen the cultivated land, the Emperor of Heaven immediately sent heavenly soldiers down to earth to recapture the cultivated land. As soon as the fallow land was recovered, the flood came back immediately, washed away the dam, destroyed the countryside and drowned many people. The king was furious and imprisoned Gun in Yushan. Three years later, Gun was executed.
Later, when I grew up, I was very sad to see that the flood was terrible and that my father was executed because he didn't cure the flood. He prayed to heaven every day to cure the flood. Touched by him, the Emperor of Heaven taught him how to pray to God and said to him, "If ghosts, snakes and dragons block you, you can use fire first, and then attack with various weapons. If you can't do it, please ask the gods in the sky for help. " Send Ying Long to help. Ying Long, a winged dragon, painted on the ground with its tail. No matter what kind of rock and soil it is, the ground will immediately open to let water pass through.
When Dayu diverted the Yellow River, in order to prevent the river from flowing backwards, Dayu asked Ying Long to divide the Longmen Mountain into two parts to let the water flow through, so there was the Longmen, which is what "Carp yue longmen" said.
Wushan goddess helps each other.
Dayu came to Wushan to control water. Wushan stretches for 800 miles. The rock was so hard that a strong wind suddenly blew and the cliff shook. Many migrant workers who cut down mountains died in the stormy waves. For months, they couldn't cut rocks as hard as iron. Dayu is very worried.
Yao Ji, the twenty-third daughter of the Queen Mother of the West, is kind-hearted and loves to play. One day, Dayu asked Yao Ji for help. Yao Ji sympathized with the flood-stricken people and admired Dayu's spirit of managing water for the people, so he generously agreed. She told Dayu that to get through Wushan, it was necessary to use fire. He also sent Zhang, Huang Mo and Daming, who were insane, to help Dayu control the water.
Dayu was very grateful to Yao Ji's suggestion and led the people to set fire to both ends of Wushan. Yao Ji and God will also show their skills, using either electricity or thunder. Construction workers quickly got through Wushan for 800 miles, allowing the flood to flow out of Bashu territory and go straight to the sea.
After treatment, Wushan has become a beautiful scenery in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. Yao Ji also exhausted her divine power when she got through the Three Gorges, so she couldn't return to the sky and had to stay on earth. Standing on the high cliff every day, she gazed out and saw the Three Gorges steep and the waves steep, and many boats sank in the wind and waves. She sent thousands of waterfowl to fly in the canyon in turn, serving as navigation for ships and guiding people through the canyon safely.
Yao Ji stood on the high cliff for a long time, day after day, year after year. Over time, it gradually became a mountain peak in Wushan, and later people called it "goddess peak". And the ladies who accompanied her turned into mountains and peaks, always accompanying Yao Ji. This is the Twelve Peaks of Wushan Mountain.
Dayu climbed mountains and mountains to control water, and didn't get married until he was 30. A Tushan girl who fell in love with Dayu waited for him until he finally got married, but only four days after marriage, Dayu went to water conservancy again. There is such a description in Historical Records: "Yuping was flooded for thirteen years, but he didn't get used to going home three times." Among the people, the story of "Da Yu's harnessing water, three don't enter the house" is well known to all women and children.
Legend has it that Dayu took the lead in water control and trudged in the swamp all the year round. He was so tired that he was soaked to the skin, his thighs were fleshless, his calves were hairless, and he bent over, so that later generations called his hunched walking action "Yu Bu".
Have the ambition to seize power
Dayu became emperor. The local officials in Kyushu sent a large amount of copper, and asked craftsmen to cast nine treasure tripod. The tripod is engraved with images of poisonous insects, animals and monsters, which makes people beware of these things in advance. People felt the kindness of Yu, so they called Baoding, and later regarded it as a synonym for ward off evil spirits.
Legend has it that ancient Yu Xia cast Jiuding, representing Kyushu, as a symbol of state power. During the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, Jiuding was an important weapon to spread the country, which was owned by those who won the world. Kyushu is Yuzhou, Yizhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yongzhou and Youzhou.
Three years in Gong Xuan of Zuo Zhuan;
After the Battle of Chengpu, Chu turned to the East. After Chu Zhuangwang ascended the throne, Chu became powerful again. In 606 BC, Chu Zhuangwang led an army to attack Lu (now the north of Songxian County, Henan Province) to Luoshui, and "watched the troops from Zhoujiang" and stationed in Luoyang. King Zhou sent a king to comfort him and took the opportunity to ask about the size. The king said, "The government is virtuous, the tripod is small and heavy, the monarch has no way, and the tripod is big and light. The Zhou Dynasty made a tripod for the Central Plains, and its power was a godsend. The weight of the tripod is not appropriate. He proudly said to the king, "Don't stop casting the tripod. All we have to do is collect broken hooks (a bronze weapon) and we can cast Jiuding. "Chu Zhuangwang won the championship, which means replacing the Zhou Dynasty. As a result, he was severely reprimanded by the angel of the king and had to quit Zhoujiang.
Later, people used winning the Central Plains to describe a person's ambition to usurp power.
Decent "death"
Because Dayu was kind and generous, he put the sufferings of the people first and was deeply loved by the people. Shun also trusted Dayu very much, so he sent him to Dayu City, now Henan Province. Dayu became the monarch of Xia Yuguo.
Dayu is a meritorious person, kind and reliable. Although he is only a monarch, he is trusted by Shun, and he should be invited to discuss every major event. Shun did not pass on the throne to future generations, but abdicated to Saint Dayu in 2208 BC. The enlightened and benevolent "abdication" makes modern people far behind.
