Shan Hai Jing Bei Shan Jing: "The daughter of Emperor Yan is called a girl. The girl drowned while swimming in the East China Sea, so she was Jingwei. She often drowned in the East China Sea with the title of wood and stone in Xishan. "

In order to manage and transform nature, we must have a tenacious spirit. Emperor Yan, the sun god, had a little daughter named Nu Wa, who was his favorite daughter. Emperor Yan not only manages the sun, but also manages food and medicinal materials. He has many things to do. He goes to the East China Sea early every morning to direct the sun to rise, and doesn't go home until the sun goes down.

Emperor Yan is not at home, and the girl plays alone. She really wants her father to take her out and see where the sun rises in the East China Sea. But my father is busy with business and always doesn't take her. On this day, the girl rowed the boat alone and came to the place where the sun rose in the East China Sea. Unfortunately, there was a storm at sea and the boat capsized like a mountain wave. The girl was swallowed by the ruthless sea and never came back. Emperor Yan misses his daughter, but he can't bring her back to life with drugs, so he can only lament alone.

When the baby girl died, her soul turned into a bird with a flower head, a white shell and red claws, and gave a cry of "Jingwei, Jingwei", so people also called this bird "Jingwei".

Jingwei hates the heartless sea for taking away her young life, and she wants to avenge herself. So, she kept taking a pebble or a twig from the pigeon hill where she lived, spreading her wings and flying to the East China Sea. On the rough sea, she returned to Xiang, groaning and throwing stones and branches.

The sea roared and laughed at her: "bird, forget it." You won't fill the sea if you work for a million years. "

Jingwei answered the sea at high altitude: "Even if I work for 10 million years, 10 million years until the end of the universe, why does the whole world hate me so much?"

"Because you took my young life, you will take many young and innocent lives in the future. I will work endlessly, and one day I will fill you up. "

Jingwei flew and sang, left the sea and flew back to Faduo Foshan to get stones and branches. Holding and throwing, she flew back and forth for several years and never stopped. Later, Jingwei and Haiyan got married and gave birth to many birds. The females were like Jingwei and the males were like Haiyan. Little Jingwei, like their mother, also went to pick up stones and fill the sea. Until today, they are still doing this kind of work.

People sympathize with and admire Jingwei, calling it "the bird of injustice", "the bird of oath", "the bird of ambition" and "the bird of emperor", and erecting a monument on the East China Sea, which is called "the land where Jingwei swears water".
