Dayu's family members came to help, but why was Dayu killed in the end?
Because there was a big flood at that time, and Fang Feng came late, his attitude towards Dayu was very arrogant, so Dayu's killing Fang Feng was an example. This story is from Shan Hai Jing, and its plot is actually based on history. However, Fang Feng, who helped Dayu control the water in history, was actually made a vassal, and later died of illness with his age, instead of being killed by Dayu.

Dayu's flood control is a myth and legend in ancient China. At that time, there was a big flood in the world, and Dayu and his son were given the heavy responsibility of controlling the flood. Dayu led a group of ordinary people to control the flood, and finally succeeded in controlling the flood with the help of Dayu's correct methods. However, in the process of governance, it is actually full of difficulties and obstacles, because in the face of such a big flood, the people are actually very weak and often blocked by ghosts and gods. Therefore, it is not easy for Dayu to finally control the flood successfully.

When Dayu was controlling water, he knew that people's strength alone was not enough, so he invited tribal leaders and immortals around him to control water together. Fang Feng of the giants also received an invitation from Dayu, so he went to help out. However, the appointed time is up, everyone is here, but Fang Feng hasn't come yet. They waited for a long time before Fang Feng arrived. His attitude towards Dayu was very arrogant. Dayu thinks this man is really arrogant. If you don't punish him, it will affect water conservancy and your majesty, so kill him.

In fact, Yu did not kill Fang in history, but because Fang was good at water control and made great contributions to flood control, he was made a vassal and naturally died of old age in the fief. After his death, Yu also built an ancestral temple for Fang to remind people of his contribution to water control and thank him.
