Translation of "Yu Gong Moves Mountains": There was an old man named Yu Gong, who was nearly 90 years old. There were two mountains blocking the way in front of his house, so he decided to dig them up with his family.
Some people laughed at him for being stupid and thought it was impossible.
The foolish man said, "When I die, I have a son, and the son gives birth to a grandson, and the children and grandchildren are endless, but the mountain will not increase." "The Emperor of Heaven was moved by Yugong and ordered the two sons of the Kua E clan to carry the two mountains on their backs.

Yugong Yishan is translated as follows:
Taihang, Wangwu two mountains, a radius of 700 miles, 78,000 zhang high, originally in Jizhou Nancong Hall, the north of Heyang.
At the bottom of the North Mountain, there was a man named Yugong, who was nearly ninety years old, and lived facing the mountain. He was suffering from the blockage in the northern part of the mountain, and he had to take a detour when he came out and went in, so he gathered the whole family and discussed: "I will do my best with you to eradicate the steep mountains and make the road lead all the way to the south of Yuzhou and reach the south bank of the Han River, okay?"
Everyone agreed.
His wife asked, "With your strength, you can't even flatten the hill of Kuifu, so what can you do with Taihang and Wangwu?" Besides, the excavated soil and stones are placed in **? They said, "Throw it to the edge of the Bohai Sea, to the north of the hidden land." ”
So Yu Gong led three of his children and grandchildren who could carry the burden up the mountain, chiseled stones, dug up the soil, and transported them to the shore of the Bohai Sea with a basket. The widow of the neighboring Jingcheng clan had a boy who had just changed his teeth and jumped up and down to help him. When the seasons change between winter and summer, you can only make a round trip once.
The wise old man in the bend laughed at the fool and stopped him from doing it, saying, "You are really stupid! With the remaining years and the strength you have left, you can't even move a single grass on the mountain, what can you do with the dirt and stones?
Beishan Yugong sighed and said: "You are stubborn in thinking, stubborn to the point of being unchangeable, and you can't even compare with orphans and widows.
Even if I die, I still have my son; The son begat grandson, and the grandson begat son; Sons have sons, and sons have grandsons; There is no end to the children and grandchildren, but the mountains will not increase in height and increase, are you still afraid that they will not be able to dig up? "Hequ Zhisu has nothing to answer.
Idiom meaning:
