The original text of "Yugong Yishan":

Taihang Mountain and Wangwu Mountain, which are 7 miles square and high in Wan Ren, are located in the south of Jizhou and the north of Heyang.

The foolish man in Beishan is 9 years old and lives near the mountain. Punish the north of the mountain, and it is also awkward to go in and out. Gathering in the room, he said, "I'll try my best to make it through the south of Henan and reach Hanyin. Is that all right?" Mixed promises. His wife offered her doubts: "With your strength, you could never damage the hill of the chief father, such as Taihang and Wangwu. And what about earth and stone? " Zayue said, "Throw it at the end of the Bohai Sea and the north of the hidden soil."

so he led his descendants to take the burden of three husbands, knocking on the rocks and reclaiming the soil, and transporting them to the end of the Bohai Sea. My neighbor's widow, Jing Shi, has a man, so she started to help him. Cold and summer are easy to celebrate, and the beginning is opposite.

Hequ Zhisou stopped laughing and said, "I'm so sorry, you're so ungrateful! With the strength of the old age, you can't destroy one hair of the mountain. What is it like earth and stone? " The foolish old man in Beishan said, "Your heart is solid and unbreakable. You have never been a widow or a weak son. Although I die, I have a son; Children give birth to grandchildren, and grandchildren give birth to children; The son has a son, and the son has a grandson; There are countless children and grandchildren, and the mountains are not increased. Why bother and be uneven? " Hequ Zhicuo died in response.

The snake god heard about it and was afraid of it, so he told the emperor. Feeling sincere, the Emperor ordered the second son of Kua 'e to be responsible for two mountains, one for Shuodong and the other for Yongnan. Since then, the south of Hebei, the yin of Han, there is no long broken.

Vernacular translation:

Taihang Mountain and Wangwu Mountain, 7 miles away, are 78 meters high in thousands of feet, originally in the south of Chenzhou, bordering the north bank of the Yellow River in the north.

There is a man named Yugong at the foot of the North Mountain. He is almost 9 years old and lives across the mountain. He suffered a blockade in the northern part of the mountain. When he came in and walked around, he called the whole family to discuss and said, "I will try my best to dig steep mountains. This road will reach the south of Yuzhou and the south bank of Hanshui River, okay?" I agree.

His wife asked a question: "With your strength, even my father's mountain can't be razed to the ground. What's your use to Taihang and Wu Wang? So, where are the excavated soil and stones? "

The crowd said, "Throw it on the edge of Bohai Sea and hide it in the north of the earth." Therefore, Yugong led three sons, who could bear the burden on the mountain, throw stones, dig and transport them to the seaside. Has, the legacy of the neighboring capital, has an orphan. Only seven or eight years old, she jumped up to help him. You can go back and forth once in winter and summer.

Zhizhi of Hewan laughed at Yugong and stopped him from doing so. He said, "You are so stupid! Just because of your remaining years and your remaining strength, even the grass on the mountain can't move. What kind of mud can you do? " Beishan Yugong said, "Your heart is stubborn, stubborn and unable to open, even orphans and widows can't compare."

even if I die, my son is still there; My son has a grandson, my grandson has a son; The son has a son, and the son has a grandson; Sons and grandchildren are endless, but the mountains will not increase, but they will not be excavated. ? "He Qu has nothing to say."

The mountain god with the snake heard about it and worried that he would dig endlessly and report it to the emperor. The emperor was moved by Yu Gong's sincerity and ordered Heracles' two sons to take away the two mountains, one in the east of the city and the other in the south of Zhangzhou. From then on, there was no mountain obstacle from the south of Luzhou to the south bank of Hanshui River.
