Don't know your own strength

In ancient times, in the Great Northern Wilderness, there was a towering mountain. Deep in the mountains, there lived a group of giants with infinite power.

Their leader is Kuafu, the son of Xin and the grandson of Hades. Therefore, this group of people is called Kuafu. They are strong, tall and burly, with strong willpower and extraordinary spirit. And kind-hearted, hardworking and brave, living a peaceful and free life.

At that time, the land was desolate, poisonous snakes and beasts were rampant, and people's lives were miserable. In order to make the people of this tribe survive, Kuafu leads people to fight against natural disasters every day.

Kuafu often hangs the vicious yellow snake he caught on his ear as decoration, and holds it in his hand and waves it proudly.

One year, the weather was very hot, and the burning sun shone directly on the earth, baking crops, scorching trees and drying rivers. People can't stand the heat. People in Kuafu are dying.

Seeing this, Kuafu was very sad. He looked up at the sun and told his people, "The sun is really hateful. I want to catch up with it and let it listen to people. " After hearing this, everyone dissuaded them.

Someone said, "Don't go. The sun is so far away from us that you will be exhausted. "

Someone said, "The sun is so hot, you will be roasted to death."

Kuafu made up his mind and vowed to catch the sun, make it obey people's orders and serve everyone. He looked at the poor people and said, "I must go for everyone's happy life."

The sun had just risen from the sea, and Kuafu said goodbye to his people. With great ambition, he strode upward from the East China Sea and began his daily journey.

The sun is moving fast in the air, and Kuafu is chasing it like a high wind on the ground. He climbed mountains and mountains, and the earth was shaken by his footsteps.

Kuafu was tired from running, so he took a nap and shook the soil off the ground, forming a big dirt mountain. When he is hungry, he picks wild fruits to satisfy his hunger, and sometimes Kuafu cooks. He built a pot with three stones, and these three stones became three high mountains standing at their feet, several thousand meters high.

Kuafu ran after the sun and saw that he was getting closer and closer to the sun. His confidence grew stronger and stronger. The closer you get to the sun, the thirstier you get. Holding the river can't quench your thirst. However, he was not afraid and kept encouraging himself. "Soon, we will catch up with the sun, and people's lives will be happy."

After nine days in Kuya at sunset, Kuafu finally caught up.

Red, burning fireball, right in front of Kuafu, his head, thousands of golden light, bathed in him.

Kuafu was very happy to open his arms and wish the sun well, but the sun was too hot and Kuafu felt thirsty and tired. He ran to the Yellow River and drank the water in one breath. He ran to the Weihe River again and drank all the Weihe River water, but he still didn't quench his thirst. Kuafu went to the north, where there was osawa, and there was enough water in osawa to quench Kuafu's thirst.

However, before Kuafu arrived in osawa, he died of thirst on the way.

When Kuafu died, his heart was filled with regret. He was still worried about his own people, so he threw out the stick in his hand. Where the wooden staff landed, a large lush peach forest suddenly appeared.

This peach forest is lush all the year round, providing shade for passers-by and producing fresh peaches, quenching thirst for hardworking people, and making people get rid of fatigue and embark on a journey energetically.

The?Foolish?Old?Man?Removes?the?Mountains

There is an old man named Gong Yu, who is almost 90 years old. There are two mountains in front of his house, one is Taihang Mountain and the other is Wuwang Mountain. It's inconvenient for people to get in and out.

One day, the foolish old man called the whole family together and said, "These two mountains are blocking our gate, and we have to take many wrong roads before we can go out. Why don't we help the whole family move these two mountains? " .

Hearing this, the son and grandson of Yugong said, "You are right. Let's start tomorrow. ! "However, Gong Yu's wife thought it was too difficult to move two mountains, and raised objections, saying," Since we have lived here for many years, why can't we continue to live like this? " Besides, even if these two mountains can be moved a little, where can so many stones and mud be put? "

The words of Yu Gong's wife immediately aroused everyone's discussion, which is really a problem. Finally, they unanimously decided to transport the stones and mud from the mountain to the sea.

The next day, Gong Yu and his family began to move mountains. His neighbor is a widow. She has a son who is only seven or eight years old. She heard that she was going to move the mountain, and she was glad to come and help. However, Gong Yu's tools for moving mountains are only hoes and baskets, and the mountains are far from the sea, so one person can't go back and forth twice a day. After a month's work, the mountain looks the same as before.

There is an old man named Zhisou, who is very shrewd in dealing with people. When he saw Gong Yu's family moving mountains, he felt ridiculous. One day, he said to Yu Gong, "You are too old to walk. How can you move two big mountains? "

The foolish old man replied, "Your name is Zhisou, but I don't think you are as clever as a child. Although I am going to die, I still have a son. The son is dead, and there are grandchildren, children and grandchildren, and they are handed down endlessly. If the stones on the mountain are removed, there will be less mud and stones. We move every day, every month and every year. Why can't we move the mountain? " Smart old people who think they are smart have nothing to say anymore.

Whether it is hot summer or cold winter, Gong Yu leads his family to dig mountains in the dark every day. Their behavior finally touched God. So God sent two immortals down to earth and moved the two mountains. But the story of Gong Yu moving mountains has been passed down to this day. It tells people that no matter what is difficult, as long as you persevere, you may succeed.
