Translation of Jingwei's reclamation;
200 miles further north, there is a mountain called Faduo Foshan, on which many Zheshu trees grow. There is a bird in the Woods, shaped like a crow, with patterned feathers on its head, a white mouth and red feet. Its cry seems to be calling its name. This is actually Yan Di's youngest daughter, named girl.
Once, the girl went to the East China Sea to play, drowned and never came back, and became a bird. I often carry branches and stones from the western hills to fill the East China Sea. The turbid Zhanghe River originates from Lushan Mountain and flows eastward to join the Yellow River.
Reasons for reclamation by latitude and longitude:
Jingwei went to the East China Sea to play, drowned and never came back. She hated that the sea took her life and separated her from her relatives, so she was very angry and decided to fill the sea.
The myth of jingwei's reclamation shows the most essential and eternal things of human beings: the panic of survival and the eternal and unique spiritual temperament of human beings; It shows an ethical quality, not self-pity, but a spirit of daring to resist, struggle and sacrifice;
It shows the strong desire of ancient working people to explore, conquer and transform nature and the spirit of perseverance and hard struggle.
