According to legend, a long time ago, Li Er came to Jiyuan, Henan Province to control water. Because he was tired after running for a few days, he wanted to have a rest in the king of Wu. Li Er stopped the newly introduced Yellow River water at the foot of Phoenix Mountain, so he made an appointment with his water conservancy partners to play chess in a cave. Down, down, Li Er suddenly remembered that he hadn't brought the Yellow River water.
Li Er pushed open the chessboard and came to Phoenix Mountain. He saw that the Yellow River, which had been led to the foot of Phoenix Mountain, had secretly bypassed Tongguan and fenglingdu from the west and entered the sea from the east. The current is raging and roaring, and it seems that no one can stop it. Li Er saw it, and his heart was very angry. He immediately started the oven, picked up the hammer, and tied it into a big iron whip dozens of feet long on his knee. Then, holding iron whip, he took his legs and quickly caught up with the roaring Yellow River.
Li Er rushed forward, held iron whip high and shouted, "Good you wild water!" As soon as the whip fell, it shook the earth, and the Yellow River water was too scared to flow forward, so it turned over and rolled. From then on, the Yellow River was whipped by Li Er with iron whip, and then it obediently flowed eastward.
2. Niangniang Beach and Prince Edward Beach
In BC 192, several generals led many elite soldiers to protect a pregnant concubine and secretly went out of the palace. After all the hardships, I came to the Xiongnu border. Suddenly, a big river appeared in front of them. In panic and despair, they accidentally saw the island in the river, so they had no choice but to hide here.
However, they still have a lingering fear. After the baby was born, the clever and delicate concubine moved the baby to another island, or you or she went to nurse the baby, just in case. 12 years later, a teenager walked out of the island, returned to the palace and sat in Long Ting. He is the China Emperor Liu Heng, who was praised as "the ruler of cultural scenes" by later generations. In those days, the generals who protected them were three brothers, saying that these three men were Li Guang, Wen Li and Gong Li, famous in the history of China.
Three years after Liu Heng acceded to the throne, he took his mother back to the palace and handed over the two islands west of the Yellow River and thousands of miles of beaches to the Lee brothers, and no one was allowed to occupy them. It is said that this "policy" has lasted for more than 1000 years. Niangniang Beach and Prince Beach are named after this.
3. A genius breaks a mountain and takes water from the Yellow River.
Legend has it that in ancient times, Huashan and Zhongtiao Mountain were interlinked. The Yellow River flows through here and is blocked by rocks. At that time, there was a river god called a genius who wandered around the mountains every day to see the terrain. To the south, the mountains are continuous and the terrain is getting higher and higher, so it is impossible to draw water; There is a Ma Pingchuan in the east, wide and low, near the sea, which is the outlet of water. After thinking for several days, the child prodigy made up his mind to introduce the Yellow River water eastward into the sea.
On this day, the child prodigy went shirtless up the mountain and walked into a deep valley. He stopped and looked around, and the mountain stood upright. Djinn turned himself into a giant with indomitable spirit. Facing the east, he put his hands against the two hills, gritted his teeth, threw it hard, pushed his arm hard to the north and south, and the hills shook twice. The spermatozoa are sweating profusely, and their limbs are sore. He rested for a while and rubbed his arm. With luck, the bones of his palm thumped and his fingers suddenly grew several feet long.
So the child prodigy pushed the two hills with his big palm and took a long breath. "hey!" A loud noise, like the roar of lions, rocked the sky three times and jumped to the ground three times. At that moment, he tried his best to squeeze to both sides. I heard a loud noise and the rock cracked. He quickly stepped on Zhongtiao Mountain, held Huashan Mountain with his hand, and extended his legs to push Zhongtiao Mountain to the north. As soon as the two mountains left, a big ditch flashed out, and the Yellow River rushed past and flowed eastward under Zhongtiao Mountain.
4. Wang Ben burst his bank.
In the 22nd year of Qin Dynasty (225 BC), Wang Ben of Qin came to the capital of Wei with a great army. Daliangcheng is extremely strong, and there is plenty of food and grass in the city. Therefore, whether it is a storm or a siege, Qin Jun can't capture this impregnable girder city. Wang Ben, after analysis, thinks that although Daliangcheng is very strong and abundant in grain and grass, it has a congenital deficiency, that is, the terrain is unfavorable.
The girder of the capital city of Wei is located on the bank of the Yellow River, with low terrain. The Yellow River is called "a river hanging on the ground". Therefore, the low-lying Daliangcheng is very suitable for water attack. So, Wang Ben ordered, a siege girder, another to dig the Yellow River levee. Tens of thousands of Qin Jun soldiers immediately dug the riverbank around the clock after Wang Ben's order to break the embankment was issued. Soon, the Yellow River levee was dug up, and the river replaced Qin Jun's hordes and poured into Daliangcheng from three sides.
Within a few hundred miles of Fiona Fang, the girder has become a country on the water, with countless people buried under the water and most of the food saved in the city soaked. In desperation, Wang Wei held the last command meeting and ordered Kaicheng to surrender. Soon, a white flag was erected on the city. After the water receded, Wang Wei took the prince and grandson out of the city to surrender, and Wei completely perished. Wang Ben took Wei land, and Qin established Sanchuan County here.
5. Manglong Reform
It is said that Dayu has three magic weapons to control water: one is the river map and jade slips given to him by Fuxi; Second, Ying Long in the sky paddled the ground with his tail to guide him. Yu led the migrant workers to dig rivers and divert floods along the line with the tail. The third kind is the tortoise, which throws the remaining stones and mud into low-lying places.
One day, a black dragon rolled in the flood near the dam, making waves and knocking down the dam that Dayu and others worked so hard to build. Ying Long told Yu Wang that this is a beautiful dragon of seven or eight years old, and the evil soul is too heavy to be corrected. So the tortoise carried Dayu up a high mountain and saw the black dragon with a dazzling white horn on its head, frolicking and churning, making waves from time to time. Dayu guided it, but it completely ignored it. Dayu then took out a small colored stone and put it on the tip of the turtle's tail. The stone immediately turned into a huge stone.
With a flick of the tortoise's tail, the sky draws a hazy rainbow-like arc, and the colorful stone just falls between the two dragon horns on the top of Oolong's forehead. Oolong laughed and said, "I can't help this little flower stone. But the colorful stones have been expanding. Soon, the dragon's horns tightened and it shook its head in pain. Colorful stones kept growing and finally surrendered to the dragon. From then on, Man Long became Dayu's right-hand man, at his disposal.
