As children of the Chinese nation, we have heard the story of Dayu's flood prevention since we were young. We are also grateful for this person’s efforts to enable our ancestors to take root in this land, multiply, and eventually develop into today Great country. However, people don’t know the truth behind Dayu’s flood control, and the truth is jaw-dropping , no wonder the historian Gu Jiegang sighed: “Yu is a worm!” In the Classics, a flood occurred more than two thousand BC. The flood swept across China. At that time, the leader of the country was Yao and Shun, but they were not proficient in water control, so Dayu stepped onto the stage of history.
What kind of situation was like during the flood control by Dayu? There is no detailed record in history books, but we have always said that at that time, Dayu was Gun’s son, and Gun was originally sent to control the water, but Gun’s method of "blocking" was not like that. If the water flows over the river, it will continue to endanger people's production and life, so floods will follow, and the flood problem has not been fundamentally solved. It was precisely because of this that Dayu's father Gun was killed, and then Dayu was sent to treat the water. There are three examples of Dayu’s control of the water without entering the house, and Dayu’s way of thinking is different from that of his father. Instead of using the method of “blocking” by his father, he adopted the method of “unblocking” instead, because He believes that only by dredging the waterway and the water can flow unimpeded can the occurrence of floods be avoided. Of course, practice proved his method to be correct, which also laid a certain foundation for Dayu to establish the Xia Dynasty.
"Shu Wen Jie Zi" in Da Yu Chong Ye,The meaning should mean "Yu may be an animal recorded on Jiuding", and Jiuding passed from Xia to Shang and thereafter. There are many unknown animal patterns on in Shang Zhou. It may be the remains of the Dayu Totem! However, everything is just speculation, and there is no conclusion that "worms" do not refer to reptiles, but "dragons and snakes" animals such as "chicken". However, the proponent of and Mr. Gu Jiegang gave up that Yu was from Jiuding, but thought it was myth! Mr. Lu Xun ridiculed Gu Jiegang in the "New Stories" and replaced the insects representing animals with "worms", which caused the whole sentence to change its flavor. Many people used this sentence to attack the school of ancient history.
