Kuafu chasing after the sun

In ancient times, in the north of China, there was a majestic Chengdu. There lived a giant family called Kuafu family in the Tianshan Mountains. The leader of the Kuafu tribe is called the braggart Io. He is extremely tall, powerful, strong-willed and extraordinary in spirit. At that time, the world was desolate and backward, poisonous snakes and beasts ran amok, and people's lives were miserable. Kuafu's aim is to make the people of this tribe survive every day and lead the crowd to fight against natural disasters. Ocio, a braggart, often takes pride in catching fierce yellow snakes and hanging them on his ears as decorations.

One year, there was a drought for several days. Just like the fire and the sun scorched the crops on the ground and dried up the river. It's uncomfortable when it's hot. I can't live. Seeing this scene, Kuafu made an ambitious vow to seize the sun, make it obey people's instructions, and better serve everyone.

One day, just after the sun rose from the sea, Kuafu took a big step from the edge of the East China Sea and started his daily journey.

The sun is flying forward in the sky, and the braggart is chasing after the high wind on the ground. Kuafu kept eating, and when he was hungry, he picked boxes of wild fruits. Thirst, hold the estuary to quench your thirst; Tired, I only slept for a while. His heart has been encouraging himself: "Soon, we must catch up with the sun and the people's lives will be happy." He chased kuya for nine days, avoiding the sun, getting closer and closer to us, and the blazing sun shone on his head.

Kuafu climbed a mountain and crossed a river. Finally, we will catch up with the sun-ancient jade. At this time, Kuafu mind extremely excited. He might stretch out his hand to bask in the sun. He was physically and mentally haggard because of excessive excitement. Suddenly, Kuafu felt dizzy and passed out. When he woke up, the sun had already set.

Kuafu is still not discouraged. He musters up his physical strength, and she is preparing to leave. However, the closer to the sun, the stronger the sunshine, and Kuafu felt more and more unbearable anxiety. He felt that all the water in his body had evaporated, and the situation was urgent, so he needed to drink a lot of water. Therefore, Fu stood up and walked to the southeast of the Yellow River. His son drank the Yellow River water, which he drank dry. He wanted to drink the water from the Weihe River. Who knows, he drank the water of Weihe River dry, but he still didn't quench his thirst. Therefore, he plans to go north and drink osawa water. However, the braggart was really tired and thirsty. When he was halfway through, his body could no longer cope, and he slowly fell to the ground and died.

After Kuafu died, his body became a mountain. This is the "Boasting Mountain", which is said to be located in the west of Lingbao County, Henan Province today, and is the place between Linghu Valley and Lingchi Valley. When Kuafu died, his walking stick became as colorful as Xia Yuntao Lin. Taolin has a dangerous terrain, and their descendants called this place "Peach".

Kuafu died, and he missed the sun. However, Emperor Tiandi was moved by his sacrifice and the brave spirit of the heroes, and punished the sun. Since then, everything has flourished in his tribe every year. Kuafu's descendants live at the foot of Kuafu Mountain, being parents, reproducing and living a very happy life. Kuafu chases the sun.

In ancient times, there was a towering and majestic Tianshan Mountain in Chengdu in the north of China, where a giant named Kuafu lived. The head of the Kuafu family is Kuafu. He is very tall, strong, strong-willed and brave. At that time, the world was desolate and backward, poisonous snakes and beasts were rampant, and people's lives were miserable. In order to survive the property of this tribe, Kuafu leads people to fight against natural disasters every day. Kuafu often hung the vicious yellow snake he caught on his ear as decoration, and he was proud of it.

One year, there was a great drought. The blazing sun scorched the crops on the ground and dried the running water in the river. People are too hot to live. When Kuafu saw this scene, he made up his mind and vowed to seize the sun, make it obey people's orders and serve everyone better.

One day, when the sun rose from the sea, Kuafu strode from the East China Sea and began his daily journey.

The sun is spinning fast in the air, and Kuafu is chasing like a gust of wind on the ground. Kuafu kept chasing and chasing, and when he was hungry, he picked a wild fruit to satisfy his hunger; When you are thirsty, hold the river to quench your thirst; If you are tired, just take a nap. He has been encouraging himself in his heart: "Soon, we will catch up with the sun and people's lives will be happy." He chased Kuya for nine days, getting closer and closer to the sun, and the red and hot sun was on his own head.

Kuafu has climbed mountains again, and he will finally catch up with the sun in Yugur. At this time, Kuafu was very excited. But just as he reached out to catch the sun, he was too excited and haggard. Suddenly, Kuafu felt dizzy and fainted. When he woke up, the sun had disappeared.

Kuafu is still not discouraged. He mustered up all his strength and was ready to start again. However, the closer to the sun, the stronger the sunlight. Kuafu felt more and more impatient. He felt that all the water in his body had evaporated. As an emergency, he needs to drink a lot of water. So, Kuafu stood up, walked to the southeast of the Yellow River and squatted down to drink the Yellow River water. He drank the water from the Yellow River, and he went to drink the water from the Weihe River. Who knows, he still doesn't quench his thirst after drinking Weihe River. So, he is going to the north to drink a glass of osawa water. However, Kuafu was tired and thirsty. When he was halfway there, his body could no longer support him, and he slowly fell down and died.

After Kuafu died, his body became a mountain. This is the "Kuafu Mountain", which is said to be located between Linghu Valley and Chiyu, 35 miles west of Lingbao County. The cane that Kuafu lost when he died also turned into a colorful peach grove. Taolin has a dangerous terrain, and later people called it "Taolin Village".

Kuafu died, and he missed the sun. However, Emperor Tiandi was moved by his sacrifice and brave heroism, and punished the sun. Since then, his tribe has had good weather every year and everything is thriving. Kuafu's descendants live at the foot of Kuafu Mountain, have children and live a very happy life.
