What are the deeds of the self-improvement Chinese?

What are the deeds of the Chinese people who are self-reliant:

1. Houyi shoots the sun

In ancient times, there was a severe drought in the land. The heat scorched the forests, dried up the earth, and sun-dried the seedlings and grasses. It turned out that Emperor Jun and Xihe had 10 children who were all suns, and they lived overseas in the east, where there was a big tree called Fusang in the sea water. 10 suns slept at the bottom of the branches and took turns to come out to do their duty in the sky and shine on the earth. But sometimes they come out together and bring disaster to mankind.

To save mankind, Hou Yi opened his bow and shot at the 9 suns. The sky exploded with fireballs and three-legged crows fell. In the end, there was only one sun left in the sky.

2. Nuwa Mending the Sky

One of China's ancient myths and legends, the goddess of creation, Nuwa, is the first human being of the Chinese nation and the god of blessing and blessing for the gods and goddesses of the earth and grain. According to the legend, Nuwa created man out of the earth and brought forth all things, so that heaven and earth would no longer be silent. Nuwa, who created the world and is therefore known as the Mother Earth, is a beautiful goddess with a slender, snake-like figure, so much so that some mythologists insist that she is simply snake-bodied.

The story of Nuwa mending the sky is as much a household name in China as the story of Nuwa creating man. During Nuwa's time, society began to falter as humans multiplied more. Later generations have taken the battle between the god of water, ****Worker, and the god of fire, Zhu Rong, at Buzhou Mountain, which resulted in ****Worker crashing angrily into Buzhou Mountain because of his great defeat, and articulated a series of stirring and moving stories, such as Nuwa melting the five-colored stones in order to mend the heavens.

3, Jingwei fill the sea

Jingwei fill the sea, is one of the ancient Chinese myths and legends. Legend has it that Jingwei was originally the youngest daughter of Yan Di Shennong's, named Nuwa, one day Nuwa went to the East China Sea to play, drowned in the water. After her death, her spirit was transformed into a divine bird with a flower head, white beak and red claws, which brought stones and grasses from the mountains every day and threw them into the East China Sea, and then made the mournful cry of "Jingwei, Jingwei" as if it were calling out for itself.

4. Dayu's fight against floods

Dayu led the people to fight against floods, a natural disaster, and eventually won the victory.

Faced with the flood, Da Yu learned from the failure of flood control, changed the method of "blocking", and channeled the flood, which reflected his wisdom to lead the people to overcome the difficulties; Da Yu fought with the people for years to control the flood, ignoring his personal interests, and "three times passed the door of the house but did not enter". After 13 years of exhausting his efforts and physical strength, he finally accomplished the great task of flood control.

5. Yugong Yishan

The two mountains, Taihang and Wangwu, which are seven hundred miles in circumference and seven to eight thousand feet high, were originally located in the south of Jizhou, north of the northern bank of the Yellow River.

Below the northern mountains there was a man named Yugong, nearly 90 years old, who lived directly opposite the mountains. Suffering from the obstruction in the northern part of the mountain, where he had to make a detour to get out and in, he called his whole family together to discuss the matter and said, "I will try my best with you to dig up and flatten the big, treacherous mountain, so that the road will lead all the way to the southern part of Yuzhou, to the south bank of the Han River, all right?" Everyone agreed.

His wife questioned, "With your strength, you can't even flatten the small mountain of Kuifu, so what can you do about Taihang and Wangya? Besides, where to rest the soil and stones dug down?" The people said, "Throw it to the edge of the Bohai Sea, north of the hidden earth." So Yugong led three of his children and grandchildren who could carry a load up the mountain, chiseled the stones, dug up the earth, and carried it to the edge of the Bohai Sea in a skip and a dustpan.

The widow of the neighboring Jingcheng clan had an orphan, just seven or eight years old, who hopped up and down to help him. It was only once in winter and summer that he could go back and forth.

The wise man on the bay of the river sneered at Yugong and stopped him from doing this, saying, "You are simply too foolish! You can't even move a blade of grass on the mountain with your remaining years and strength, so what can you do with the soil and rocks?" The Fool of the Northern Mountain sighed, "Your heart is so stubborn, so stubborn that you can't open your mind, not even an orphan or a widow can compare to you. The wise man of Hequ had nothing to say in reply.

The mountain god holding the snake heard about this, and fearing that he would dig endlessly, reported it to the Heavenly Emperor. Touched by Yugong's sincerity, the Heavenly Emperor ordered the two sons of the Herculean god Qua'e to carry away the two mountains, placing one in the eastern part of Shuo Fang and one in the southern part of Yong Zhou. From then on, there were no more mountains in the southern part of Jizhou to the south bank of the Han River.
