There are two folk stories about the Yellow River, myths and legends and stories of historical figures! Speed, the shorter the better.

Dayu flood control: According to legend, during the reign of Emperor Yao, floods often occurred in the Yellow River basin. In order to prevent floods and protect agricultural production, Emperor Yao once called a meeting of tribal leaders to solicit water control experts to calm the floods. Gun is recommended to be in charge of this work. After accepting the task, Gun used dikes to block water and made a three-block city, that is, surrounded residential areas with simple dikes to block floods. After 9 years of failure, he was finally exiled to Yushan and died. After Shun Di ascended the throne, Gun's son was appointed to manage the water source. Summing up his father's experience in water control, Yu changed the "blocking obstacles" of Gun to "dredging stagnation", that is, using the natural trend of water flowing from high to low, dredging blocked streams in the right direction. The flood was introduced into dredged rivers, depressions or lakes, and then connected with the four seas, thus calming the flood and enabling people to move back from the highlands to Pingchuan to live and engage in agricultural production. Later, Yu became the first king of the Xia Dynasty, and was called "Shen Yu", which was passed down from generation to generation.

Carp yue longmen: Long, long ago, before the Longmen was cut, the Iraqi water was blocked by Longmen Mountain, and a big lake was piled up in the south of the mountain.

Carps living in the Yellow River have heard that Longmen is beautiful and all want to go sightseeing. They started from the Yellow River in Jin Meng, Henan Province, crossed the Luohe River, followed the Yi River to the splash mouth of Longmen, but there was no waterway on Longmen Mountain, so they had to gather at the foot of Longmen North Mountain. "I have an idea. How about we skip this Longmen Mountain? " A red carp said to everyone. "How can you jump so high?" "If you don't jump well, you will fall to your death!" The partners are confused and can't make up their minds. Red carp volunteered and said, "I'll try it first." I saw it exhausted all its strength from half a mile away, like an arrow that left the string, jumping into the clouds for a long time, driving the clouds and rain in the air forward. A mass of skyfire came from behind and burned its tail. It endured the pain, continued to leap forward, and finally crossed Longmen Mountain and fell into the lake in the south of Shannan. In a blink of an eye, it became a dragon. Seeing this, the carp in the north of the mountain are scared to shrink together and dare not take any more risks. Just then, I suddenly saw a dragon descending from the sky and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm your partner Red Carp, because I jumped over the Longmen and became a dragon." You have to jump bravely! " "Hearing these words, the carp was encouraged and began to jump off the Longmen Mountain one by one. But except for a few who jumped into dragons, most of them couldn't get through. Anyone who can't jump over and fall from the air will have a black scar on his forehead. To this day, this black scar still grows on the forehead of the Yellow River carp.

Li Chuangwang crossed the Yellow River: At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the court was corrupt and the people were poor. Li Zicheng, the conqueror, led a peasant uprising in Mizhi, Shaanxi Province, crossed the Yellow River and overthrew the Ming Dynasty. It was early winter, and the Yellow River water had not yet frozen, but only when the river was frozen into a solid ice army could it pass smoothly. What shall we do? Chu Zhuangwang worried day and night, and his beard and hair turned white overnight.

The next morning, two men came to report: "The Yellow River has been frozen." King Zhuang was overjoyed and quickly ordered the three armies to cross the river quickly. When I got to the river, I saw that the river was still flowing happily and there was no ice at all. However, there is a wide pontoon bridge connected by boat, which is safe and stable, just suitable for the army to cross the river.

King Zhuang was puzzled and was about to dismount and inspect. Suddenly, two men climbed up from the river and punched Chu Zhuangwang. A clear voice said, "Your Majesty, we are boatmen of the Yellow River." . I heard that you want to cross the river for the benefit of the people, so you spent the whole night building this pontoon bridge and invited the army to go on the road. Chu Zhuangwang was moved to tears: "I will live up to the people's love and let everyone live a good life!" Say and immediately drove across the bridge, led the troops to the east.

Myths and legends

Looking at the ocean and sighing: It is said that a long time ago, there was a river god in the Yellow River, and people called him Hebo. Hebo stood on the bank of the Yellow River. Looking at the rolling waves coming from the west and rushing eastward, I said excitedly; "The Yellow River is so big that no river in the world can compare with it. I am the biggest water god! " Someone told him, "What you said is wrong. There is a place called Beihai in the east of the Yellow River. That's really big. " Herb said, "I don't believe it. No matter how big the North Sea is, can it be bigger than the Yellow River? " The man said: "Don't mention a Yellow River, even if several Yellow Rivers flow into the North Sea, they are not satisfied." Hebo stubbornly said, "I have never seen the North Sea. I don't believe it. " The man was helpless and said to him, "You will understand what I am talking about when you have a chance to see the North Sea." Hebo came down the river to the Yellow River estuary, and suddenly his eyes lit up. Poseidon welcomed him with a big smile. Hebo looked around and saw Wang Yang in the North Sea, as far as the eye could see. He looked blankly for a while and said to Beihai Ruo with deep feelings: "As the saying goes, if you only know some truth, you think no one can compare with yourself. That's me. " Today, if I hadn't seen the vast North Sea with my own eyes, I would have thought the Yellow River was chinese odyssey! In that case, you will never be laughed at by knowledgeable people. "

Myths and legends

Dayu had three treasures when he governed the Yellow River. One is the river map; The second is a mountain axe; The third is to avoid water swords. Legend has it that the river map was given to Dayu by Hebo, the water god of the Yellow River.

In ancient times, there was a man named Feng Yi in Huayin General Township. He feels uncomfortable farming, but he is bent on becoming an immortal. He heard that people can become immortals after drinking the juice of daffodils for one hundred days. So I looked everywhere for daffodils.

Before Dayu harnessed water, the Yellow River flowed to the Central Plains. There is no fixed channel, it flows everywhere and is often flooded. There are seven strands and eight roads on the ground, and the branches in the ditch are all yellow river water. Feng Yi ran around looking for daffodils, often crossing, crossing and dealing with the Yellow River. Ninety-nine days passed in the blink of an eye, and then I found a daffodil and sucked the juice of the daffodil for a day, so I could become an immortal. Feng Yi was so proud that he crossed the Yellow River and went to a small village to look for daffodils. The water here is not deep. Feng Yi waded across the river and reached the middle of it. Suddenly, the river rose. He panicked, slipped, fell into the Yellow River and was drowned alive.

After Feng Yi's death, she was full of grievances and resentments and hated the Yellow River, so she went to the Jade Emperor to sue the Yellow River. The Jade Emperor was also annoyed when he heard that the Yellow River was undisciplined and wandering around, endangering the people. Seeing that Feng Yi had been sucking the juice of daffodils for ninety-nine days, it was time to become an immortal. He asked Feng Yi if he would be the water god of the Yellow River and govern it. Feng Yi was overjoyed. Full of promises. Now I can realize my dream of becoming an immortal, and secondly I can avenge my drowning.

Feng Yi became the water god of the Yellow River and was called Hebo. He has never been involved in water control, and suddenly assumed the responsibility of managing the Yellow River, helpless and worried. What should we do? I have no magic weapon, so I have to ask the Jade Emperor for advice. The Jade Emperor told him that to manage the Yellow River well, we must first find out the water conditions of the Yellow River and draw a river map. Based on the river map of the Yellow River, it will be much easier to control the Yellow River.

Hebo, according to the instructions of the Jade Emperor, was bent on drawing a river map. He went to his hometown first and wanted to ask the villagers for help. Everyone in the village hated his idleness and his work, and no one answered him. He found the old man in the village and expressed his great ambition to govern the Yellow River. When the old man saw that he was now a fairy and wanted to do something good for the people, he promised to help him. From then on, Hebo and later old people came and went in the rain, wading through mountains and rivers to see the Yellow River water regime. After running for several years, the old man was tired. After the old man only went back, the rest of Hebo continued to check the water situation along the Yellow River. When we parted, the old man repeatedly told Hebo that the director should go all the way and not give up halfway. After drawing the map, he began to manage the Yellow River, and there was not enough manpower. He persuaded the villagers to help.

It is a hard job to check the water regime and draw a river map. By the time Hebo finished drawing the river map, he was old and weak. Hebo looked at the river map, where the Yellow River is deep and shallow; Where it is easy to explode, it is easy to explode; Where to dig and where to block; Where the water can be cut off and where the flood can be discharged are clearly drawn. I can only sigh that I have no strength to manage the Yellow River according to the map, which is very sad. Hebo thought that one day someone would come to harness the Yellow River. It will be worthwhile to give him the river map then.

Hebo spent his old age under the Yellow River and never appeared again. Unexpectedly, the Yellow River overflowed again and again. People know that the Jade Emperor sent Hebo to control water, but they didn't see him. They all scold Hebo for not doing his duty, regardless of whether people live or die.

The old man hasn't seen Hebo for several years after waiting for him every day in his hospital bed. He is uneasy about managing the Yellow River and wants to find Hebo. His son's name is Yi, and he shot every shot. No matter what the old man says, Yi won't let him go to Hebo. Later, the old man did not listen to his son's dissuasion. As a result, he met a breach in the Yellow River, was washed away and drowned, and even the body was not found. Hou Yi hated Hebo's guts and gnashed his teeth, saying that Hebo would be shot sooner or later.

Later, Dayu came out to control water, and Hebo decided to give him the map of the Yellow River.

On this day, Hebo heard that Dayu came to the Yellow River with an axe and a sword to avoid water, so he came out from the bottom with a river map to look for Dayu. Hebo and Dayu have never met before, and neither of them knows each other. Hebo walked for a long time and was so tired that he wanted to have a rest. He saw a young man crossing the river. This young man is a hero. He must be Dayu. Hebo shouted and asked, "Hello, who are you?"

The young man on the other side is not Dayu, but Hou Yi. He looked up, and on the other side of the river, a saint-like old man was asking loudly, "Who are you?"

Hebo said loudly, "I'm Hebo. Are you Dayu? "

When Hou Yi heard that it was Hebo, he immediately rushed to his heart and sneered, "I am Dayu." Said the bow and arrow, don't ask, don't indiscriminate, "sou" an arrow, hit Hebo's left eye. Hebo pulled an arrow on his eye, and he was sweating with pain. He cursed in his heart: "Damn prison, how unreasonable!" The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he tore up the water map. Just then, there was a loud shout: "Hebo! Don't tear the picture. " Hebo barely looked at it with his right eye. On the other side, a man in a hat stopped Hou Yi. This man is Dayu. He knew that Hebo had painted a picture of the Yellow River and was going to ask Hebo for advice. Hou Yi pushed Dayu away and tried to draw a bow and arrow. Dayu grabbed him desperately and told Hebo about the hardships of painting. Hou Yi regretted his recklessness and shot Hebo in the left eye.

Hou Yi and Dayu crossed the river together. Hou Yi admitted his mistake to Hebo. Hebo knew that Hou Yi was the old man's son and didn't blame him. Dayu said to Hebo, "I'm Dayu, and I've come to ask you for advice on how to manage the Yellow River."

Hebo said: "My heart and blood and the method of river management are all on this picture, and I will give them to you now."

Look at Dayu's exhibition map, which is dense and dense, and draws the water situation of the Yellow River clearly. Dayu was extremely happy. He wants to thank Hebo. Looking up, Hebo jumped into the Yellow River and disappeared.

Dayu got the hydrological map of the Yellow River and kept it around the clock. According to the instructions on the map, he finally managed to control the Yellow River.
