Cangyu Zhishui is an ancient Chinese myth and legend, derived from the legend of the Great Flood in ancient times. During the Period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the Yellow River flooded, and the fathers and sons of Cang and Yu were appointed by the second emperors Yao and Shun, and Ren Chongbo and Xia Bo were responsible for controlling the water. In order to control the flood, Dayu has been fighting with the people outside for many years, disregarding personal interests, and once "three times through the door of the house and not in." Dayu ruled the water for 13 years, exhausted his heart and energy, and finally completed the great cause of water control.
When Yu successfully managed the flood, the people of the world revered him as a god and a man, as "Dayu" and "Shenyu", and put him on a par with heaven and earth, the so-called heaven, earth, and Yu. At that time, people even called the whole of China "Yu Domain", which means the place where Dayu has governed, so that all the good wishes of harnessing rivers and overcoming floods are pinned on Dayu. "Kai Kyushu, Tong jiu dao, Pi Jiu Ze, Du Jiu Shan", Dayu almost became an omnipotent god.
