The most famous stories in Shanhaijing are:

Shanhaijing has many ancient Chinese myths, among which the most famous ones include: Kuafu chasing the sun, Nuwa mending the sky, Jingwei filling up the sea, Houyi shooting the nine days, Huangdi fighting Chiyu, ****Worker touching the mountain of Buzhou in anger, which triggered the great flood, Father Jiu Ji stealing resting soil to cure the water successfully, Father Ji Ji getting back the resting soil to kill Father Ji and finally Dayu curing water successfully. Finally, Jiu Ji replaces Ji Ji, the son of Jiu Ji, who is the father of Jiu Ji.

Kwafu chases the sun:

Legend has it that in the era of the Yellow Emperor's dynasty, one of the chiefs of the Kwafu tribe wanted to pick the sun and put it in the hearts of the people, so he started to chase the sun. When he was thirsty, he drank the Yellow River and the Wei River dry, and prepared to go to the Great Lake (or Dazawa) in the north to drink water, and he was killed by thirst on his way to Dazawa. His cane was transformed into a forest of peaches, which became a peach garden; and his body was transformed into Mount Kuazu.

Nuwa Mending Heaven:

In ancient times, the four pillars supporting the sky broke down, and the land of China crumbled, so that the sky could not cover the earth completely, nor could the earth carry all things in a perfect manner; great fires burned without being extinguished, and great waters flooded without stopping; ferocious beasts ate up the kind-hearted people, and ferocious birds captured the old people and children.

So Nuwa smelted five-colored stones to mend the sky, cut off the four legs of a turtle in the sea to serve as the four pillars of the sky, killed a water monster to relieve Jizhou, and accumulated ashes to block the flood. The sky was mended, the four pillars of the sky were set right, the floodwaters receded, and Jizhou was pacified; the evil birds and beasts died, and the good people survived.
