Legend has it that the river map was given to Dayu by Hebo, the water god of the Yellow River.
Before Dayu's flood control, the Yellow River flowed to the Central Plains, with no fixed river course and frequent flooding.
Hebo was helpless about water, and he was superficial and had no magic weapon, so he had to go to the Jade Emperor for advice.
The Jade Emperor asked him to draw a river map first. With the river map of the Yellow River, it is 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.
He found the old man in the village.
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 not to give up halfway, but to draw a good picture before harnessing the Yellow River. 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 and drew it clearly.
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's son Hou Yi is an excellent archer.
Yi won't let him go to Hebo.
The old man didn't listen to his son's advice. As a result, the Yellow River burst and was washed away and drowned. Hou Yi hated Hebo so much that he gritted his teeth and said 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. That must be Dayu, but the young man on the other side is Hou Yi.
He looked up and the old man on the other side of the river was shouting and asking who he was. Hebo said loudly, "I'm Hebo.
Are you Dayu? "When Hou Yi heard that it was Hebo, he sneered," I'm Dayu.
"Said the bow and arrow, don't ask, don't indiscriminate," sou "an arrow, hit the herb's left eye.
Hebo hit him in the eye with an arrow! "The more he thinks about it, the more painful it is, and he is so angry that he has to tear up the water map.
Just then, there was a loud shout: "Hebo! Don't tear the picture.
"Herb reluctantly used his right eye, and a man in a hat on the other side 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.
"Herb gave everything to each other.
Dayu is 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.
2. Zheng Guo, a native of Zheng Guoqu, was born in South Korea at the end of the Warring States Period (now central and western Henan), and he was a famous water conservancy engineer.
In 246 BC (the 27th year of Han Huanhui, the first year of Qin Wang's reign), Zheng was ordered by Huan Huiwang to go west to Qin State to persuade Qin Wang to build water conservancy projects, in an attempt to make Qin State focus on the country and have no time to look east.
Qin adopted Zheng's suggestion and began to dig wells and repair canals that year.
During the construction, the king of Qin found that coming to Qin was a plan to "exhaust Qin", and he was furious and wanted to kill him.
I argued, "Although I was a minister at the beginning, I was also beneficial to the State of Qin. I am a priest of Han Yan's life, but Qin Jian's eternal work. "
"("Han Shu Gou Yan Zhi ") The king of Qin thought it was reasonable and ordered him to continue to repair the canal, which was finally completed.
Historical Records Biography of Rivers and Channels contains: Zheng Guo "dug a water mirror from the mouth of Xidi Mountain in Zhongshan (now Zhongshan in the northwest of Jingyang, Shaanxi Province) and poured it into northern Shandong for more than 300 miles to irrigate the fields.
"The canal was filled with water, irrigated more than 40,000 hectares of brine, and earned an acre.
Therefore, Guanzhong is fertile, and there is no bad year. Qin is rich and powerful, and is a vassal.
In order to commemorate Zheng's achievements, people named this canal.
According to Li Daoyuan's textual research, the passage area of this waterway is recorded in Notes on Water Classics Qushui: "The head of the canal is connected with the water mirror at Xidi and the mouth of Zhongshan, and the eastern route of the canal is north of Qiu Cheng and south of Zhongshan ... The eastern route is south of Sheche Palace, which is definitely a valley-melting water.
Qu Zheng blasphemes east to Shan Zhinan, north of Chiyang County, east to Qingshui, east to the north of the original, and turbid water is poured in. Today, there is no one.
..... and cross the original curved beam to the east, then cross the original curved beam to the south, and then cross the original curved beam to the east.
..... falls in Qu Zheng, Higashikoji is in the south of the city, ... the road to the east is the north of Lianshao County, ... the road to the east is the north of Suyi County, ... and its water flows to the northeast and injects into Luoshui.
"Now it flows through Jingyang, Sanyuan, Gaoling, Fuping, Pucheng and other counties.
After the Qin Dynasty, although the irrigation area of this canal has been reduced, it has been continuous for generations, making an important contribution to the agricultural development in Guanzhong area.
3. Fishing for Iron Cattle During the Song Dynasty, the Yellow River flooded and washed away a pontoon bridge outside Zhongfu City.
Eight iron cows on both sides of the Yellow River were used to tie pontoons. They were also washed away by the flood and trapped in the mud at the bottom of the river.
The flood receded and the pontoon bridge had to be rebuilt.
But the heavy iron cow was trapped at the bottom of the river. Which Hercules can catch them one by one? People are talking about it. A monk said, "Let me try.
The iron cows were washed away by the water, so I asked the water to send them back.
"
The monk first asked people familiar with water to dive to the bottom and find out where the eight iron cows sank.
Then prepare two big wooden boats, the cabins of which are filled with sediment, and row them to the place where the iron cow sank.
When the boat stopped, he had two boats tied side by side tightly and put up a shelf with strong wood to straddle the two boats.
Please also ask people who are familiar with water to dive to the bottom with a thick rope. One end of the rope is firmly tied to the iron cow, and the other end is tied to the shelf between the two big ships.
The preparations have been completed.
The monk asked the sailors, Qi Xin, to work together to shovel all the sediment from the ship into the Yellow River.
The sediment in the boat slowly decreased, the boat slowly floated up, and the rope that tied the iron cow became tighter and tighter.
Relying on the buoyancy of the water, the ship pulled the iron cow up from the mud bit by bit.
The sand on the boat was shoveled away and the iron cow left the bottom of the river.
The monk was not in a hurry to get the iron cow into the boat, but let the sailors row the boat to the shore hard, and then let many people drag the iron cow into the water together.
In this way, the monk dragged eight heavy iron cows back one by one.
This monk named Huai Bing was an outstanding engineer at that time.
According to legend, when Su Dongpo was the magistrate of Xuzhou, the Yellow River flooded.
One evening, Su Dongpo walked along the bank of the Yellow River, worried about the grief brought by the flood of the Yellow River.
Suddenly I met a strong man with red hair and black face.
The smuggler, with a load of parallel imports, panted and asked Su Dongpo, "Sir, shall I go through this city or around it?" Su Dongpo was still deep in thought and didn't hear what he said.
The strong man raised his voice and said, "Sir, am I going into the city or around the city?" Fu Su just came to his senses and quickly replied, "You should go through this city, but the weather is not very good. The Yellow River burst its banks, and the city is hard to protect. You'd better go around the city. "
When the strong man heard this, his face suddenly changed and he said angrily, "If you are willing to give me your sister, I will go around the city.
"Fu Su was very angry at this and wanted to talk to the strong man about it.
But the strong man trotted along with the burden and soon disappeared.
Fu Su mind, such a * * * person, don't dispute with him.
After dinner, Fu Su was anxious. Dark clouds had been hovering over Xuzhou for several days and refused to disperse. If there is another torrential rain, the fragile river bank will collapse in an instant.
Xuzhou city will disappear forever.
Suddenly a light flashed through Fu Su's mind, and the bold and strong man's face appeared in front of him during the day.
Fu Su thought for a long time, and the more he felt that this strong man was extraordinary.
The burden of parallel imports is very strange. It seems that the fish and shrimp have been dead for several days, but their eyes are still open. It seems amazing.
Why does that strong man want Fu Su to betroth his sister to him for no reason? Is it flirting? Su Dongpo then called his little sister to discuss the matter together.
My little sister is also surprised by this.
Since the Yellow River flooded, most residents in the city have fled and the market can't be opened.
Except for the laborers who repaired the embankment, even a bird is rare. How can anyone take the trouble to pick a strange fish to sell?
The two talked until midnight, but they didn't talk.
Fu Su had business to do early in the morning, so he sent his little sister away, turned off the light and went to bed.
The next morning, Su Dongpo and his little sister came to a still strong dam near the Yellow River, overlooking the river.
The sky is gloomy and the fog hangs over the river. In the past, the Yellow River rolled like a stagnant pool, still and shocking.
In the dense fog, Samui seemed to see a small fishing boat floating on the river in the distance, one fat and one thin playing chess.
Samui doesn't know how anyone can be so happy in such weather. Although she stood side by side with her brother, her heart was still shaking.
So he asked his brother to go home with him, but Fu Su refused, and Samui pretended to cough a few times. Fu Su suspected that her sister had caught a cold and asked her to go home.
Unexpectedly, on the way, Samui saw the dragon boat hanging on the river again, and several policemen knocked on the drums.
But Fu Su didn't see anything unusual.
Su Mei was relieved to think that her brother sued his strong man for his engagement last night.
That strong man must be some fairy, threatening her with the life of the whole city.
If she doesn't obey, the flood of the Yellow River will definitely pass through the city, and then the ancient city of Xuzhou will cease to exist.
Su Mei asked her brother Fu Su, "I ask you to choose between me and Xuzhou people. Which one do you choose? " Fu Su didn't know what my sister was thinking, so she asked, "People have both.
"Samui said loudly:" Today, some people have no me, and others have no me.
Brother, please choose! "Fu Su was frightened by her sister's expression and didn't know how to answer.
Napoleon wrasse shouted, "The Dragon King wants you to betroth me to him, otherwise the flood of the Yellow River will pass through this city, and the names of the whole city are on his shoulders. I can't be here today
My brother is safe, my sister died today, and my people's livelihood, I'm going to jump into this river and die! "Samui said, and plunged into the water and then disappeared.
The water level of the Yellow River immediately dropped by three feet.
After a while, the dark clouds cleared and the July sun shone again.
Fu Su was saddened to see this scene, but he also got some comfort.
Later, Xuzhou people built a Su ancient temple where Samui jumped into the river to commemorate Samui's sacrifice for Xuzhou people.
And in it, a statue of Su Gu was molded to make her popular, in order to thank Su Mei for his great kindness.
The Yellow River is no longer flooded, and the beautiful scenery along the coast has become a good place for walking and playing in old Xuzhou.
Nowadays, people come and go in front of the Sugu Temple, and many old people are here to fight birds and enjoy their old age.
Looking south from Sugu, you can overlook the whole city of Xuzhou.
Under her protection, the people of Xuzhou lived a happy life.
