Legend has it that in ancient times on the mainland, there was a huge flood disaster. At that time, at the end of primitive society, productivity was extremely low, and in the face of vast floods, people had to flee to the mountains to take shelter. In order to relieve the flood, yao, the leader of the tribal alliance, held a meeting of the tribal alliance and nominated a carp to complete this task. Because the carp used the method of blocking and interception such as "堙" and "obstacle", it treated the water for nine years, but the labor and wealth of the people were not effective. After Yao's death, Shun succeeded him as the leader of the tribal confederation. Shun inspected the situation of water control, and saw that Cang was helpless against the flood and delayed the major event, so he executed Cang to death in Yushan. The tribal confederation also nominated Yu, the son of Cang, to lead the flood control. When Dayu accepted the task of controlling water, he had just married a girl from the Tushan clan. The strong-willed Dayu, seeing the scene of the people being deeply harmed by the water and thinking of the heavy responsibility he shouldered, resolutely bid farewell to his beloved wife and came to the water control site.
Dayu invited the elders who had treated water in the past and the predecessors who had worked with The Carp to cure water damage, to sum up lessons learned and find ways to cure the flood. On the one hand, we continue to strengthen and build levees; on the other hand, we will change "blockage" to "evacuation" to control floods. In order to facilitate the control of water, Dayu also divided the entire territory into nine major prefectures, including Ji, Yan, Qing, Xu, Yang, Jing, Yu, Liang, and Yong. Da Yu personally led a huge army of 270,000 and launched a fierce battle to control the water. While controlling the water, Dayu led the water control army to vigorously help the people repair the land, restore production, rebuild their homes, and enable everyone to live and work in peace and contentment. For the merits of Dayu, the vast number of people praised him, thanked him, and remembered him, and at that time people called the whole of China "Yu Domain".
At this point, the story of Dayu Zhishui should have been clearly narrated, and with Dayu Zhishui's achievements in the world, it is enough to be called an outstanding leader, and in fact, Dayu later naturally became the leader of the tribal alliance and established the Xia Dynasty. However, because the touching deeds of "three over the family door" were left during the reign of Dayu, and after thousands of years of generations of recitation and rendering, its brilliance was so dazzling, so in comparison, "water control" itself seems to be eclipsed.
It is said that Dayu passed by his door three times in the process of controlling the flood, but he did not care to go in and take a look. The first time he passed by the door, it happened that his wife had just given birth to a son for a few days, but he was afraid of delaying the work and did not go in; the second time he passed the door, the son who was holding him in his wife's arms would already call Daddy, but the project was exactly the time of tension, or did not go in; the third time he passed the door, the son had grown to more than ten years old, and pulled Dayu to the house, dayu touched his son's head affectionately, told him that the task of controlling water was still very tight, and left in a hurry, and did not enter the house. In this way, under the leadership of Dayu, after thirteen years of hard labor, the water control army finally dredged nine great rivers and created great achievements that flowed through the ages.
Magical deeds inevitably lead to strange associations. While affirming Dayu's achievements in controlling water and admiring the professionalism of "three over the family door", people seem to be more curious about the reason for the "three over the house door", and endless imagination has emerged: there is a funny "extramarital affair". You are young and strong, and you have not entered the house for thirteen years, and you have not had skin kisses with your wife, which is unreasonable. As the commander-in-chief of such a large water conservancy project, there are always many women around; there are sinister "anti-killing" said. According to Emperor Shun's sinister and vicious nature, killing Cang was actually afraid of Emperor Gong Gao Zhen. Dayu was determined to take this as a warning, to prevent being assassinated before the completion of the water control and the overwhelming prestige of himself; there was also the sensational "cruel man" who said. A real man should understand feelings, not to read the wife should always read the son, do not read the son should always read the father, you Dayu but all the relatives do not read, but also too cruel!
Today's people, with their knowledge, broad thinking and free speech, are not surprising what they think or say. For example, the author and I, even directly doubted the authenticity of the "three-pass family door" deed itself. Speaking of the land of Kyushu, Dayu, if you are determined not to go home, then why do you have to pass by your own door when you travel between various water control sites? Moreover, what is the essential difference between hearing the son's crying, seeing the wife holding the son in her arms and stroking the son's head? Even if the "three-pass home" is true, it is not a show made for the sake of selling fame and reputation. Something too perfect is inevitably carved, it's experience.
Just think about it, the realistic and more appropriate approach should be to focus more on the great role played by the "three family doors" in building the traditional morality of the Chinese nation, and look, what is happening around us now is the touching deeds of taking the initiative to give up vacation and insist on work, hiding the truth about the death of a relative's critical illness and never leaving the team, carrying one's own serious illness diagnosis certificate and never going down the line of fire, which one is not the continuation and glory of the spirit of "three passes through the family door"? Under this circumstance, it is no longer necessary to explore the reasons for the "three-pass home door" and even the authenticity of the "three-pass home door" itself.
