In the face of the prehistoric flood, the chinese and Western methods of handling are completely different, which reflects the difference between Chinese and Western cultures: the West believes in God, it is God who saves them; Chinese believe in themselves, believe that people will win the heavens, and want to save themselves. Before the flood broke out, God chose the good man Noah's family and let them build a large ship in advance, carrying a male and female animal, as well as plant seeds, so that after the flood, Noah's family recreated human civilization. Chinese after the flood came, it was to find ways to control the water, and there were two fathers and sons of Cang and Yu who were appointed by The Two Emperors of Yao and Shun, Ren Chongbo and Xia Bo, responsible for controlling the water; in the end, Yu completed the great project of controlling water, and human civilization was continued.
Jehovah, the God who created all things in the world, saw that the earth was full of corrupt, violent, and lawless evil, and planned to destroy all mankind with a flood. At the same time, he also found that there was a good man named Noah among mankind, and the Lord God instructed Noah to build an ark and bring his wife, son (Shem, Han, Japhe, and daughter-in-law), and God also instructed Noah to bring animals such as livestock and birds to the boat, which must include both females and males. The flood destroyed all the animals and plants except the ark, and after 260 days the flood receded, and after several trials, Noah confirmed that the flood had receded to the mainland, so he released the animals and plants in the ark and resumed civilization.
In Chinese myths and legends, a great flood broke out during the Yao Emperor period, and the flood forced people into alpine caves and lived cave dwellings. In order to ensure the continuation of civilization, Emperor Yao ordered The Carp to cure the water, and the Carp asked God for a magical soil that would rise when it saw the water and could block the flood. The carp sprinkled resting soil everywhere and temporarily blocked the water, but the water rose higher and higher, and the resting soil ran out, and the water drowned many people hiding in high places. Emperor Yao, enraged, executed Cang, and resigned himself to Shun, who asked Cang's son Yu to cure the water. Yu learned from his father's experience in failing to control the water, and used the method of channeling to introduce all the floods into the sea, successfully curing the flood, which was called Dayu and passed the throne to him.
The gods of the West are the gods of the beginning, and they are not cultivated into gods by people, but are multiplied by the gods. Chinese gods are man-made, and as long as they are cultivated well enough, they can become gods. In Chinese can become a god, so Chinese believe that man will triumph over heaven, that he will not rely on God's instructions and approval in everything, and that he will do his duty before God's judgment. The Western world believes in God, and when they do all the bad things, they go to confess to God; after repentance, they still do bad things. Chinese believe in yourself, only by working hard can you change your destiny, God's aura will always be the aura of the strong, and God will not sympathize with the weak.
