Stories about the historical figures of the Yellow River are anxious to kneel and beg

One of the descendants of the Yellow Emperor: the rise of the Xia Hou clan, on the basis of the development of productive forces to a certain level and the emergence of private ownership, a huge disaster has allowed our nation to enter the era of civilization in the Central Plains. A flood that seems to fall from the sky throughout the Central Plains, the story of Xia Yu's success in controlling the water has become a legend that the Chinese nation will never be annihilated, with the help of the achievements of this flood control, the last tribal alliance leader of the Xia tribe elected by the primitive society, began to move forward to the historical process of establishing the first Chinese slave society Xia Dynasty.

Yu's prestige and the Xia clan's advanced productivity compared to other clans made Yu the de facto leader of the clans. For those forces that hindered the development of the Xia people, such as Sanmiao, Gonggong and Yu raised troops to conquer. There is no longer any force that can stop his footsteps, the hereditary system replaces the "Zen concession system", and the key to the replacement of primitive civilized society by class civilization is in his hands, and he is opening a new page in Chinese civilization.

That year, it is said that in the 21st century B.C., more than 4,000 years ago, this historic transformation took place in Henan. Dayu controls the water.

During the Song Dynasty, there was a time when the Yellow River was flooded and broke a pontoon bridge outside the city of Hezhongfu.

Eight large iron oxen on both sides of the Yellow River, which were used to tie up the pontoon bridge, were also washed away by the flood and sunk in the silt at the bottom of the river.

The flood waters receded, and the pontoon bridge had to be rebuilt.

But when the heavy iron oxen were stuck at the bottom of the river, what strong man could scoop them up one by one? People were talking, and a monk said, "Let me try."

The Iron Ox was swept away by the water, and I told the water to send them back.

The monk first asked someone familiar with the nature of the water to dive to the bottom of the water and find out where the eight iron oxen sank.

Then two large wooden boats were prepared, and the cabins were filled with mud and sand, and rowed to the place where the iron ox had sunk.

When the boat had come to a halt, he had the two boats tied side by side tightly, and a shelf of sturdy timber was built across the two boats.

Then he asked someone who was familiar with the nature of the water to dive to the bottom of the water with a very thick rope, and tied one end of the rope firmly to the iron ox, and the other end of the rope was tied to a shelf between the two large boats.

The preparations are done.

The monk asked the sailors to work together to shovel all the sediment from the boat into the Yellow River.

The mud and sand in the boat slowly decreased, the hull slowly floated upward, and the rope that held the iron ox tighter and tighter.

The boat relied on the buoyancy of the water to pull the iron oxen up from the mud little by little.

The mud and sand on the boat were shoveled, and the iron ox left the bottom of the river.

The monk was not in a hurry to get the iron ox onto the boat, but asked the sailors to row the boat to the shore with all their might, and then let many people work together to drag the iron ox in the water to the shore.

In this way, the monk dragged back the eight heavy iron oxen one by one.

This monk's name was Huai Bing, and he was an outstanding engineer at that time.

1. Dayu controls the water.

Before Yu, Kun was sent by Shun to control the water, he used the method of "blocking" for 3 years, failed, Yu changed the practice of Kun, and adopted the method of "dredging", opening canals to drain water, dredging rivers, and leading floodwaters to the sea. He worked with the common people, wearing hats and shovels, and took the lead in digging and picking up soil, so tired that he polished the hair on his calves. Nine times he passed through the door without entering, and finally succeeded.

After thirteen years of hard work, Yu finally brought the flood water into the sea, and the ground was once again available for people to grow crops. Later generations also called Yu "Dayu".

2. Hebo painted the Yellow River.

Hebo Fengyi was ordered to govern the Yellow River, but he did not cure the Yellow River all his life, and when he was old, he waded through mountains and rivers, inspected the water situation, drew a picture of the water situation of the Yellow River, and went through a lot of hardships, found Dayu, and handed over the water situation map to him. According to the picture given to him by Hebo, Dayu dredged the waterway and finally managed the Yellow River.
