Original: In the past, * * workers and Zhuan Xu fought for the emperor, but their anger failed to reach the mountain, and the sky was broken and the land was lost. The sky leans to the northwest, so the sun, the moon and the stars move; The land is not satisfied with the southeast, the water is flowing and the dust is returning.

Myths and legends:
According to legend, during the period of Shun Di (about the 22nd century BC), the Yu Tribe Alliance attacked the Gong Tribe Alliance (now near the North Yellow River in Songxian County, Henan Province). In the later period of primitive society, there lived a tribe alliance of Huangdi nationality in the Central Plains (now the south of Shanxi), with Shun as the leader. At that time, the Yellow River often flooded, harming the people and ordering Yu to control the water.
* * * Gong's tribal alliance and Shun's tribal alliance have long competed for territory and water control rights. So, Yu led his tribal alliance to attack the Gong family, defeated the Gong family, and drove the Gong family out of the water control area, thus controlling the water. Since then, * * * Gong family can no longer compete with the tribal alliance of Huangdi clan.
The water god * * * is a descendant of Emperor Yan, and has many contradictions with the Huangdi family. After Emperor Zhuan Xu took over the control of the universe, he was not only indifferent to human beings, but also used his power to suppress the gods of other factions, so that there were complaints between heaven and earth. * * * When the time was right, the workers gathered the disgruntled gods, determined to overthrow the rule of Emperor Zhuan Xu and seize the throne.
The rebellious God chose workers as his allies, formed an army and raided the kingdom of Kyoto. Emperor Zhuan Xu was not very depressed when he heard this change. He lit 72 beacon towers and called on the governors of the four sides to support them quickly. On the one hand, he ordered the military forces guarding the capitals of both sides to take command in person and go to war.
A fierce battle began. Two horses hit the earth from the sky, and then hit the sky from the earth. After several rounds, Emperor Zhuan Xu's army killed more and more. Tiger Tail Tai rode all the way from Heshan, and the leader's personal plan was driven away from Guangshan by a flurry, and two arrogant insects with beehive heads were driven away from Pingfeng Mountain.
* * * The number of workers dying is getting smaller and smaller. The neck of the cabinet was cut to a layer of skin, with long hair and no broken arm. The night prince's hands and feet, head, chest and even teeth were cut off and scattered all over the floor. * * * The workers turned around and killed at the foot of the mountain in the northwest, leaving only 13 riders around.
He lifted up his eyes and saw that the mountain was abrupt and indomitable, blocking the way. He knew that the mountain was actually a huge pillar supporting the sky, which was one of the main reasons why Emperor Zhuan Xu maintained the rule of the universe. Behind him, shouting ShaSheng, surrender, encirclement has been cloth.
* * * The workers let out a cry of anger in despair. He tossed his head like a lion and ran towards the island. He only heard a loud noise, and the island standing on the ground was broken by him and collapsed.
