Taihang Mountain and Wuwangshan Mountain are 700 square miles high in Wan Ren. Ben is in the south of Jizhou and the north of Heyang. The fool in Beishan is 90 years old and lives near the mountain. Punish the mountain north, and it is awkward to go in and out. Gathered in the room, he said, "I will try my best to cross the south of Henan and reach Hanyin. Is that all right? " Vague promises. His wife raised her question: "With your strength, you will never destroy the mountains of chief fathers such as Taihang and Prince Wu. And what about mud and stones? "

Zayue said, "Throw yourself at the end of Bohai Sea and the north of hidden soil." Then lead the children and grandchildren to take charge of Sanfu, knock on the stone and cultivate the soil, and transport it to the end of Bohai Sea. Shi Jing, my neighbor's widow, had a man, so she began to help him. Cold and summer are easy to celebrate, and the beginning is the opposite.

Hequ stopped laughing when he realized his mistake and said, "What a pity. With the strength of age, you can't destroy a hair on the mountain. What are things like dirt and stones? " The foolish old man in Beishan said, "Your heart is firm but not broken. You were never a widow or a weakling. Although I am dead, I have a son; Children have grandchildren, and grandchildren have children; A son has a son and a son has a grandson; There are countless children and grandchildren, but the mountains do not increase. Why bother and injustice? " Hequ died knowing his mistake.

The snake-drying god heard this and was afraid, so he told the emperor. Feeling sincere, the emperor ordered Kwae's second son to take charge of two mountains, one is Shuodong and the other is Yongnan. Since then, the south of Hebei and the yin of Han have never been broken.

Translation:

Taihang Mountain and Wuwangshan Mountain, 700 miles away in Fiona Fang, are seven or eight thousand feet above sea level. They were originally in the south of Jizhou, north of the Yellow River.

There is a man named Gong Yu at the foot of the North Mountain. He is almost 90 years old and lives directly opposite the mountain. He suffers from the traffic jam in the northern part of the mountain area, so he has to make a detour when he comes out or goes in. He called the whole family to discuss and said, "I'll try my best to level the steep mountain with you, so that the road will go all the way to the south of Yuzhou and reach the south bank of Hanshui River, okay?" Everyone agreed. His wife raised a question and said, "With your strength, even Kuifu's mountain can't be leveled. What can you do with Taihang Mountain and Royal Family? "

Besides, where are the excavated soil and stones? They said, "Throw it on the edge of Bohai Sea, to the north of Tibetan soil." So Gong Yu led three children and grandchildren who could carry the burden up the mountain, chiseled stones and dug dirt, and transported them to the Bohai Sea with a dustpan. Neighbor Shi Jing's widow has an orphan, only seven or eight years old, skipping to help him. Winter and summer change seasons, and you can go back and forth once.

The wise man on the bend laughed at the foolish old man and stopped him from doing so, saying, "You are so stupid! With your remaining years and strength, you can't even move a grass on the mountain. What can you do with mud and stones? " Gong Yu of Beishan sighed and said, "Your heart is so stubborn that you can't begin to understand, even orphans and widows can't compare with you.

Even if I die, I still have a son; Son gives birth to grandson, grandson gives birth to son; A son has a son and a son has a grandson; Children and grandchildren are endless, but mountains do not increase. Are you afraid of rough digging? "He knows that there is nothing to answer.

The mountain god who caught the snake heard about it, fearing that he would dig endlessly and report to the Emperor of Heaven. The emperor was moved by Yugong's sincerity. He ordered the two sons of Hercules Kwae to move two mountains, one in the east of Shuofang and the other in the south of Yongzhou. From then on, from the south of Jizhou to the south bank of Hanshui River, there was no mountain barrier.
