The Legend of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River in Chongqing

Legend has it that during the Tang and Yu dynasties, the world was flooded. In order to relieve the people's anxiety and alleviate the suffering of the flood, Shun first sent a spear to control the water. The fish used the method of blocking and preventing water blockage, but ended up working in vain. As the embankment collapsed, the flood worsened. To pursue responsibility, Emperor Shun died at the "Yushan Mountain". Shun also sent Yu to control the water, and Yu used the method of guidance to "pass through the house three times without entering" for more than ten years. Finally, the guidance was successful and the victory of water control was achieved. In order to recognize Yu's achievements, Shun decided to abdicate under Yu. Thus, the first imperial dynasty in Chinese history that could be conquered was established, known as "Xia". The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River were created by Emperor Yu the Great during his flood control campaign, using the guidance of immortals and the power of divine dragons to draw the tail.

It is also said that during the reign of Emperor Wancong of ancient Shu, the Sichuan Basin was mostly a region of Zeguo. It is hoped that the emperor will issue the "Jingren Turtle Order" and be ordered to "dig the Wu Gorge (referring to the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River) to connect with the water", allowing the people of Shu to land and obtain countless fertile fields. In order to demonstrate his achievements, Emperor Wang appointed Xian Chan to reside in Bieling, who belonged to the Kaiming clan (see "Huayang Guozhi ? Bazhi" for details).
