Legend has it that a long, long time ago, there was a river god in the Yellow River, and people called him Hebo. He Bo stood on the bank of the Yellow River. Looking at the rolling waves coming from the west, and rushing and jumping to the east, he said excitedly; "The Yellow River is so big, there is no river in the world that can compare with it.
I'm the biggest god of water! Someone told him, "Your words are not right, there is a place called Beihai on the east side of the Yellow River, and that is really big."
He Bo said: "I don't believe it, no matter how big the Beihai is, can it be bigger than the Yellow River?" And the man said:
Not to mention a single Yellow River, even if the water of several Yellow Rivers flows into the Beihai, it is not enough to pretend to be it. He Bo stubbornly said: "I haven't seen Beihai, I don't believe it."
The man was helpless and told him, "If you have a chance to go and see Beihai, you will understand what I am saying." He Bo came to the mouth of the Yellow River downstream, suddenly his eyes lit up, the sea god was smiling to welcome his arrival, Hebo looked around, only to see the North Sea a vast ocean, boundless, he looked at it blankly for a while, and said to Beihai Ruo with deep feelings
As the saying goes, if you only know some truths, you think that no one can compare to yourself, and this is me. If I hadn't seen the vast Beihai with my own eyes today, I would have thought that the Yellow River is the most powerful in the world! In that way, will it not be laughed at forever by those who are knowledgeable?
