1, Dayu flood control
The ancient world was vast, the universe was vast, and people suffered from the sea. In Shun Di's time, the Yellow River basin was flooded as far as the eye can see, which flooded crops, mountains and people's houses, and people were displaced, so many people had to leave their homes.
The flood has brought endless disasters to the people, and people have suffered greatly. Sending a gun to control the water failed, and his stepfather was sent to control the water. In the face of the surging flood, Dayu learned the lesson of the failure of gun water control, changed the method of "blocking" and diverted the flood.
In order to control the flood, Dayu has been fighting with outsiders for many years, regardless of personal interests. Dayu managed water for 0/3 years, exhausted his painstaking efforts and physical strength, and finally completed the great cause of water control.
2. Jingwei Reclamation Area
Jingwei reclamation is one of the ancient myths and legends in China. According to legend, Jingwei was originally the youngest daughter of Emperor Yan Shennong, named Nuwa. One day, the girl visited the East China Sea and drowned. After his death, his uneven spirit became a bird with a flower head, a white shell and red claws. Every day, he brings stones and plants from the mountains and throws them into the East China Sea, and then he cries "Jingwei, Jingwei" as if calling himself.
Based on different research perspectives, people divide the myth of "Jingwei Reclamation" into different myth types. Obviously, the myth of "jingwei filling the sea" belongs to a typical deformation myth, which belongs to the myth of "preserving health after death", that is, entrusting the soul to a substance that exists in reality.
Not only that, "Jingwei filling the sea" also belongs to the myth of revenge. The girl had no resentment against the sea before her death, but she drowned unexpectedly, so she forged a hatred with the sea and became a lifelong revenge for the bird to recapture the sea.
3. Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea
Crossing the sea by the Eight Immortals is one of the most popular folklore in China. The Eight Immortals are Han Zhongli, Zhang, Han Xiangzi, He Xiangu, Lan Caihe and Cao Guojiu.
One of the most well-known stories of the Eight Immortals was first seen in the zaju Crossing the Sea to Get the Jade Board. According to legend, when the peony in Penglai Xiandao was in full bloom, Baiyun Fairy invited eight immortals and five immortals to hold a grand ceremony. On the return trip, Tie Guai Li advised them to find their own way, instead of going by boat. This is the origin of "Eight Immortals crossing the sea to show their magical powers" or "Eight Immortals crossing the sea to show their magical powers".
4. Water gun control failed.
When Emperor Yao was in power, the flood was terrible and mighty, and the people were very sad. When the flood flooded, several ministers recommended Gun to control the water, but Yao was very uneasy about Gun, saying that he was "useless because he violated his destiny and endangered the people." But because there was no more suitable candidate, Yao had to use a gun.
Gun water control, of course, to use soil to block floods, must be a "block" word. China has an idiom "Water covers the soil". Gun used the method of constantly heightening the dam to control water, but the sediment could not be discharged. More and more dammed lakes appear as the riverbed silts up. In the end, it backfired, and the dam burst and drowned countless Li people.
After Shun came to power, he traveled around the world and found that Gun was not only a villain, but also used interception to control floods. He didn't do well. Nine years later, he was demoted to Yushan and died there.
5. Long Yin pipa
Many years ago, not far from Black Tiger Spring in Jinan, there was a steamed stuffed bun shop. Its owner is Zhong Wang, and he has a daughter named Lotus. Father and daughter are kind and charitable. One year on New Year's Eve, their father and daughter helped to visit the trapped East China Sea Dragon King and his son privately. In return, the Dragon King of the East China Sea gave Zhong Wang an agate pearl; Zi Long gave Lotus a pipa and taught her to play the Divine Comedy "Agriculture, Countryside and Farmers in Long Yin".
Later, when the magistrate learned of this incident, he grabbed the orb, which fell to the ground and became an agate spring, flooding the official residence. Lotus girl is even more indomitable. In order not to be teased and humiliated by the son of the county magistrate, she jumped into the spring with her pipa in her arms. Since then, every night, Ding Dong's sweet pipa sound will be heard in spring, and people call this spring "Pipa Spring".
