Dayu information

Dayu, surnamed Si, also known as Dayu, was an ancient hero of water control.

The ancient world was vast, the universe was vast, and people suffered from the sea. Emperor Yao began to use Yu Fu's gun to control water. The method of "drowning" was adopted to prevent flood of artillery dam and build dam when encountering water, and the water was not stopped for nine years. Shunxing, Yao's assistant, thought it was useless to control water, so he killed Gun in Yushan.

Shun ordered Yu, the son of Gun, to continue to control water. He set out from Jizhou and visited Kyushu on the spot, and decided to adopt the method of flood diversion according to the situation.

At that time, Shaoxing area was also flooded and was called wasteland. Dayu brought water to this wild land, cut mountains and divided water, and introduced water into the East China Sea, which turned this shallow marsh land into a plain again, and the people were able to engage in reclamation for a living. Dayu once married Tu Shanshi in Shaoxing. Only four days after marriage, Yu left home to control water. After he got married, he left home for thirteen years and passed by the house three times without going in. The spirit of "going through the door and not entering" and the selfless spirit of diligence and responsibility have been passed down as eternal stories and become an important part of the Chinese national spirit.

Dayu Harnesses Water —— The Story of Han Soul

Dayu's flood control is a far-reaching event that happened thousands of years ago when the ancient country of China was just formed.

According to ancient records in China, a catastrophic flood occurred in China about four or five thousand years ago. At that time, it was the end of primitive society, with extremely low productivity and very difficult life. Faced with the flooding everywhere, people had to flee to the mountains for shelter. Yao, the leader of the tribal alliance, held a meeting of the tribal alliance in order to relieve the flood, and recommended Gun to complete this task. Because he used methods such as "blocking" and "blocking", nine years of water control wasted people and money. Instead of radical cure, it became more and more serious. After Yao's death, everyone elected Shun as the leader of the tribal alliance. Shun toured the water control situation, and when he saw that Xie could do nothing about the flood and delayed the great event, he killed Yu Mountain. The tribal alliance also elected Yu, the son of Gun. Yu is a clever and selfless person. When he accepted the task of water control, he just married a girl from Tushan Stone. Seeing people being flooded, Dayu, who was strong-willed, thought of his heavy responsibility, so he resolutely bid farewell to his wife and came to the water control site.

Dayu invited the elders who had treated the flood and the people who had treated the flood together with his father Gun, summed up the reasons for the past failures, and looked for ways to cure the flood. Some people think: "The flood is too fierce to flow out." Someone suggested, "Water seems to flow downwards. As long as you figure out the height of the terrain, dig a river along the direction of the water flow and draw the water out, it will be easy. " All this greatly inspired Dayu, who made a practical plan through field investigation: on the one hand, he should strengthen and continue to build dams, on the other hand, he should change the past "blocking" method into "dredging" method to eradicate floods. In order to facilitate water control, Dayu also divided the whole area into nine states: Hebei, Yanzhou, Qinghai, Xu, Yang, Jing, Yu, Liang and Yong. Since then, a large-scale water control project has been implemented.

Dayu personally led more than 200,000 flood control people and launched an arduous flood diversion work in an all-round way. In addition to directing, Dayu also personally participated in labor, setting an example for the masses. Holding a wooden shovel (similar in shape to today's shovel), I stayed up all night and worked tirelessly. Due to hard work, his hands were covered with calluses, the hair on his calves was ground flat, he was soaked in water for a long time, and his toenails fell off. Dayu passed by his house three times during the flood fighting. At this time, his wife just gave birth to her son a few days ago, and the baby was crying at home. He didn't go in for fear of delaying flood control. When I passed the house for the second time, the son in my wife's arms had called dad, but when the project was tense, he still didn't go in; When I went home for the third time, my son was over 10, so I tried to pull him home. Dayu stroked his son's head and told him that the water control work was still very busy, so he left in a hurry and did not enter the house. The story of Dayu's "no entry into the house" was passed down as a beautiful talk, which is still sung by people today.

Under the leadership of Dayu, after more than 10 years' efforts, the masses finally dredged nine big rivers and made the flood flow into the sea along the newly opened river. They turned around and continued to dredge the tributaries around, clearing the stagnant water in the deep pools on the vilen and letting it flow into the tributaries. Thus, the disaster was defeated and the immortal great achievements were completed. At the same time of water control, Dayu and the army of water control also vigorously helped the people rebuild their homes, repair the land and resume production, so that everyone could live and work in peace and contentment. For Dayu's achievements, the broad masses of the people praised him, thanked him and missed him. At that time, people called the whole China "Yu" (meaning the place where Dayu had governed).

According to legend, the Yumenkou (now between Hancheng and Xihejin in Shaanxi) on Longmen Mountain in the upper reaches of the Yellow River was carved by Dayu. Longmen Mountain Pass, with a mouth width of 80 steps, the river flows down from it, roaring like a huge thunder. The big carp concentrated under the Longmen was forced by the rapids and jumped down. This is the story of the auspicious omen "Carp yue longmen" circulated among the people.

Shenbaiyu, located 5 kilometers southeast of Ruicheng County, Shanxi Province, is said to be the place where Dayu surveyed the water situation and tied his horse to a cypress tree by the river to rest. Later generations built a Wang Yu Temple by the river here as a memorial.

At the foot of Huiji Mountain in Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, people also built Dayu's mausoleum, Yuling, to commemorate his great achievements.

After Dayu's death, his son succeeded to the throne and established the Xia Dynasty. Since then, China's history has entered the class society, and the time is about 2 1 century BC.

Dayu is an important figure in the history of China. The Xia Dynasty he founded was the first dynasty in the history of China, and the first in the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Although Xia Dynasty was only a tribal alliance, it was very different from the centralized autocratic dynasty after Qin and Han Dynasties, and finally it had a national form, which made China's history enter the historical era of trust from the legendary era. Dayu's flood control is another great event in the history of China. Although many nationalities in the world have legends about floods, the floods in China must be particularly serious, which is also the reason for the idiom "Flood disaster", which holds that floods are more terrible than wild animals. Dayu controls water and makes everyone live and work in peace. He won the support of many tribes and became the leader of the tribal alliance after Shun.

In archaeological work, although no direct historical materials of Xia Dynasty have been found so far, considering ancient documents and archaeological discoveries, many scholars believe that the first and second ancient cultural sites in Erlitou are the remains of Xia culture. 4200 years ago, the Central Plains had established a nationwide Xia Dynasty, which is not a problem. The leader of this dynasty is Dayu, who is good at controlling water. It is not a problem for him to gain a leading position and make a living by harnessing water. However, in recent years, there have been many complicated and divergent views on Dayu's water control, which is difficult to unify. Different viewpoints can be roughly divided into two categories: one is traditional viewpoint, and the other is new viewpoint.

As for Dayu himself, the traditional saying is: Dayu was born in the Chinese nation (according to Hua in Summer), and he was born in western Sichuan (according to Yu Xing was born in Xiqiang). The new saying is: Dayu was born in Guyue (Baiyue nationality). In the era of great ethnic integration in the Central Plains, he entered the Central Plains from the southeast with some advantages of agricultural culture in South China and won a leading position. The discovery of ancient cultural sites six or seven thousand years ago in Hemudu, Zhejiang and Chengtoushan, Hunan strongly supported the new theory. The so-called "Xia is from China" came into being after the Zhou Dynasty. Before the Zhou Dynasty, many historical sites of Xia people's activities were actually in the East. Historical sites related to Dayu are concentrated in the southeast. The sentence "Yu was born in Xiqiang" was said by Sima Qian, which means that Yu was not born in Xiqiang when he came to the west. Through the comparison of some unearthed cultural relics, it is not difficult to see that Ding, Yue and many jade articles, as the national heavyweights of the Xia Dynasty, all came from the ancient Yue people's areas in the southeast.

As for what "water" Dayu treated, how to treat it? The traditional view seems a little exaggerated. The legendary Longmen lies between Hancheng, Shaanxi and Hejin, Shanxi. At this time, cliffs stand on both sides of the Yellow River, which is very dangerous. It is said that Dayu carved it here, so Longmen is also called Yumenkou. However, according to the construction technology level of Xia Dynasty, it is absolutely impossible to complete such a big project. He also said that Dayu designated the world (the whole country) as Kyushu according to different water systems. In fact, the territory of early summer has never been so big. Many legends are inevitably contradictory and difficult to justify.

The new theory is that Dayu did not control the surging waters of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. At that time, the flood was really a transgression, that is, the sea level rose and the sea water flowed back to the land. This is worldwide, so many ethnic groups have legends of being flooded. After the flood receded, the ground was covered with mud, so it was not convenient for farming without treatment. It is this kind of field management that Dayu manages. This is roughly in line with what Confucius said: "Try to live in a ditch." . Mencius said, "When Yao was in power, floods flowed all over the world." "When Yao was in power, the water was retrograde and flooded in China. Most rivers in China originate in the west and flow eastward. No matter how big or small the water is, it will not "cross flow" or "retrograde". Only when the sea water flows backwards from east to west during transgression will it be "cross flow" or "retrograde"

The traditional saying is: Shun ordered Gun to control water, and Gun only knew how to slap and irrigate, and was killed by Shun after his failure. Gun's son, Yu, accepted the lesson of his father's failure in water control and switched to dredging, which finally succeeded. Historical facts are not that simple, and guns are not that stupid. Failure or success is always caused by many factors. It is said in ancient books such as Guoyu that Dayu also used the methods of "controlling water" and "controlling water with interest soil". It was not until the Warring States period that the book Mozi called Dayu a common method of dredging water. From the Dayu period to the Warring States period, there was a gap of 1000 years, and our ancestors' methods of water control were inevitably improved again and again, and many achievements were made. In fact, the traditional view is that many achievements in water control in the past 1000 years are attributed to Dayu alone, which exaggerates history.

As a tribal alliance leader who was born in Baiyue nationality and was able to develop in the North Central Plains, Dayu's talent is certainly not limited to water conservancy. There are also many achievements in using bronzes to develop production, establish a national system, and use troops abroad (repelling the Miao and Man ethnic attacks). However, it is not difficult to understand that later generations chose his main achievement-water conservancy to commemorate and worship him. As the leader of agricultural society, you should first care about and devote yourself to the national economy and people's livelihood and agricultural production. If you can't do this big thing well, you can't do anything else well. More than 4000 years have passed since the Dayu era, and it is still difficult for us to eradicate floods. Every year, we have to worry about flood control. Thousands of years ago, our ancestors were grateful and revered for Dayu, who had been away from home for thirteen years and dared not enter. As for the fact that he led the masses to build water conservancy projects at that time, limited by objective conditions and the development level of productive forces, he could only do it bit by bit, and there could be no miracle, so it would last for 13 years. In order to commemorate him, it is easy to understand that many achievements in water control behind him are also on his head. This is the true story of Dayu's water control deeds, and it is spread more and more.

There are relics and rumors about Dayu everywhere in our country. There are Yu ruins and Yu palaces in Huaiyuan County, Anhui Province. There is Yumen in Hancheng County, Shaanxi Province; There is Yumenkou in Hejin County, Shanxi Province; There is a site of Wang Yucheng at the foot of Zhongtiao Mountain in Xia County, Shanxi Province. There is Yuwangtai in the suburb of Kaifeng, Henan; Yuxian has Yu Wang Suojiao Well; There is a collection of Yugong at the eastern end of Guishan Mountain in Wuhan, Hubei Province; There is a stone tablet of Wang Yu on the top of Yuelu Mountain in Changsha, Hunan. Even in Nanjiang County, southwest Sichuan Province, there is a Yu Palace. In Luoyang, Henan Province, there is a legend that Dayu dug Longmen. These Dayu sites all over China are engraved with Dayu's great achievements and people's thoughts. Dayu was the most respected among the great men in ancient China.

Dayu, surnamed Si (IV), is famous for his meritorious service in water control. Later it was called Dayu, which means great Yu.

From the time his father shot, he began to control water. The ancient story of our people's struggle against floods began with guns.

According to legend, about 4000 years ago, China was a legendary era in which Yao and Shun came to power one after another, and it was also a patriarchal commune period in which China was in transition from primitive society to slave society. At that time, the production capacity was very low and the living conditions were very difficult. Some big rivers flood about every year. Once, there was a serious flood in the Yellow River basin, with cross-flow and continuous floods, houses collapsed, fields were flooded, crops were not harvested, and people died. The living people had to flee to the mountains for shelter.

Yao, the leader of the tribal alliance, held a meeting of the tribal alliance to fight floods and asked the tribal leaders to discuss water conservancy affairs. Yao said to everyone, "The flood is merciless. Please think about it. Who will be sent to control the water? " Everyone recommended Gun to handle it. Yao disagreed and said, "He is very headstrong and may not be able to accomplish great things." However, the leaders insisted that Gun give it a try. According to the habits of the tribes at that time, the opinions of the leaders of the tribal alliance were inconsistent with everyone's opinions, and the leaders should listen to everyone's opinions. Yao had to accept everyone's suggestion and reluctantly agreed to let the gun control the water. When Gun arrived at the place of water control, he followed the traditional method of water and soil blocking, that is, embankment was built with soil to plug the loopholes. He surrounded the area where people lived with a small earthen city like a wall. When the flood came, the soil layer kept rising and thickening. However, due to the fierce flood, the dike was washed away and the earth wall collapsed, and the flood became more fierce. After nine years of water control by artillery, people and money were wasted, and nothing was achieved, and the flood was not subdued.

Shun followed Yao as the leader and personally inspected the water conservancy situation. Seeing that the gun was helpless against the flood and delayed the great event, he committed a crime and put him to death in Yushan (a mythical place name). Later, Yu, the son of Gun, was ordered to continue water control, and Qi, the ancestor of Shang clan, Qi, the ancestor of Zhou clan, Boyi and Gao Yao, the leader of Dongke clan, were sent to help.

After Dayu was ordered, he first searched for the lessons of previous failures in water control, and then led Qi, Abandon and others to wade across mountains and rivers with his disciples' assistants, made a general survey of the source, upstream and downstream of the water flow, and piled some stones or cut down trees in important places as reference marks in water control. This investigation is very hard. It is said that once they walked to a river in Shandong Province, suddenly a strong wind blew, dark clouds rolled, lightning flashed and thundered, heavy rain poured down and flash floods broke out, which swept away many people at once. Some people were drowned by the roaring flood, while others disappeared into the tumbling water. Dayu's disciples were frightened, so later some people called this river Tuhai River (in today's Yucheng and Liaocheng areas of Shandong Province).

After Dayu's investigation, he carefully studied various water conditions and finally decided to control the flood by dredging. Dayu personally led his disciples and the people, with simple tools such as stone axes, knives, shovels and wooden barriers, and began to control water. They devoted themselves to water control, camping and picnicking, exposed their clothes, and worked hard through hardships. Dayu, in particular, got up early, was greedy for the dark, worked hard, and his waist was tired and his legs were swollen, but he still dared not slack off.

According to textual research, Dayu was in contact with water in eastern Hebei, eastern Henan, western and southern Shandong, and northern Huaihe River. Once, they came to the southern suburbs of Luoyang, Henan. There is a high mountain here, which belongs to the residual vein of Qinling Mountain and continues to Songshan Mountain in Zhongyue Mountain. The mountain peak is strange and majestic, just like a natural barrier that runs from east to west. There is a natural gap in the middle of the mountain, and a trickle flows slowly through the gap. However, when the flood broke out, the river was blocked by the mountain, forming a vortex at the gap, and the rushing river endangered the safety of the surrounding people. Dayu decided to concentrate his manpower on water control and clear the way in the mountains. Hard work damaged stone tools, wood products and bone tools. The loss of people is even greater. Some people were cut by rocks, some fell up the mountain and died, and some people were swept away by the flood. However, they are still unwavering and insist on splitting the mountain. In this hard day and night, Dayu's face was tanned, tired and thin. Even the hair on his calf has been polished, and his toenails have fallen off because he has been soaked in water for a long time, but he is still operating and commanding. Driven by him, the water control progressed rapidly, and the mountain finally opened suddenly, forming a confrontation between two walls. The flood rushed thousands of miles down the river, and the river was unblocked from then on.

Dayu successfully controlled water by dredging. The original Yellow River system is divided into main stream and tributaries. If the mainstream is deepened and widened, the tributaries are dredged and connected with the mainstream, the water of all tributaries can return to the mainstream. At the same time, they cultivated the original high places higher and dredged the original low places deeper, naturally forming land and lakes. They connected these lakes and streams with tributaries, so that the flood could flow to the sea unimpeded.

Dayu commanded people to dig mountain after mountain and open river after river in about ten years. He forgot his personal affairs. It is said that Dayu passed by the house several times without going in. The first time he passed by the door, he happened to meet his wife and have a baby. Everyone advised him to go in and take care of it. He didn't go in for fear of affecting water conservancy. On another occasion, his children were very happy to see their father. They asked Dayu to see his home, but he still didn't go in. He devoted his whole body and mind to the cause of digging mountains and rivers.

After the success of water control, Dayu came to Maoshan (now the suburb of Shaoxing, Zhejiang), summoned governors, rewarded meritorious deeds, and organized people to use water and soil to develop agricultural production. He asked Boyi to distribute rice seeds to the masses and let them grow rice in places with low temperatures; Also called Hou Ji (Ji) to teach you to grow different kinds of crops; Fish, geese and ducks were raised in the lake, and cattail grass was planted, and the flood became water conservancy. Boyi also improved the sinking technology and greatly developed agricultural production, with abundant crops and prosperous livestock everywhere.

Dayu was recommended as Shun's assistant because of his meritorious service in water control. Seventeen years later, after Shun's death, he succeeded to the throne as the leader of the tribal alliance. Later, Qi, the son of Dayu, established the first slave country in China-Xia Dynasty, so later generations also called him Xia Dynasty. Yu Xia died and was buried in Maoshan. Later generations renamed Maoshan Huiji Mountain because Yu held a grand ceremony here to reward the princes. This is the origin of Dayu tomb in Shaoxing. Today, the jade spirit bear will meet the mountain, the pavilion mountain and the fish pond. 1979, a pavilion with cornices and horns was rebuilt in Dayu's tomb and stood at the end of the tunnel. Inside stands a huge monument of "Dayu's Tomb" inscribed by Amin Nandaji. The ancient pagoda around the pavilion is flat and gloomy, with green pine and bamboo, quiet and elegant. There are Yu-Xue Pavilion and Yu-Xue Pavilion in the south of the pavilion, which are the places where predecessors studied Yu's tombs.

Dayu has benefited the people and will always be praised by Chinese descendants. Dayu's fighting spirit will always be remembered by Chinese people. When people come to Shaoxing, they will never forget to visit Dayu's tomb in the southeast of the city.

Yanhuang Tribal Alliance continued to develop. After the Yellow Emperor, there appeared two wise leaders-Yao and Shun.

During the reign of Yao Shun, there was a serious flood in China. At that time, a man named Gun was sent to control water. Gun has been trying to cure the flood all his life.

After the death of Gun, his son Yu vowed to inherit his father's career and cure the flood. Shun asked him to control the water. Yu realized that it was impossible to control water only by blocking it, and he led everyone to adopt a dredging method. They dug ditches to draw water down, and then introduced it from the river to the sea.

Water control is very hard. I devoted myself to water control and got married in my thirties. On the fourth day after marriage, he bid farewell to his wife and went to water conservancy again. Legend has it that on three occasions, Yu led people to build roads in front of his house, but he didn't even go in and have a look. The story of Yu San staying at home spread all over the country, and people were very moved.

13 years later, Yu led the people to successfully control the water. He also led people to divert water to irrigate farmland and resume production. At this time, Yu Ji changed from a young man to a mature man.

Giant flood of shad

2. The stationmaster sent Yu to clean up the stagnant water, and Yu was determined to do a good job of cleaning up the stagnant water and killing insects for netizens. He took people climbing mountains and wading to observe the network.

I worked hard with everyone for several days. I passed the door of a pretty girl three times, but I didn't bother to go in and see my favorite beauty.

4. Once he passed the gate of a beautiful girl, and a love song just came out by a little bamboo girl. When Yu heard the moving melody of this love song, he really wanted to go in and have a look. He thought that the water sweeping work was not finished, so he left without looking back.

For thirteen days, I didn't eat well, didn't sleep well, led the bamboo to work hard, and finally filled the forum. .

6. Yu's spirit of serving everyone wholeheartedly deeply touched netizens, and everyone recommended him as the stationmaster. Later, people praised his contribution and called him "Dayu"

Inside stands a huge monument of "Dayu's Tomb" inscribed by Amin Nandaji. The ancient pagoda around the pavilion is flat and gloomy, with green pine and bamboo, quiet and elegant. There are Yu-Xue Pavilion and Yu-Xue Pavilion in the south of the pavilion, which are the places where predecessors studied Yu's tombs.

Dayu has benefited the people and will always be praised by Chinese descendants. Dayu's fighting spirit will always be remembered by Chinese people. When people come to Shaoxing, they will never forget to visit Dayu's tomb in the southeast of the city.
