Mr. Chang Songmu, Secretary General of the China Dayu Cultural Research Center and Deputy Director of the Xia Yu Cultural Research Center of the China Pre-Qin History Society, commented in the preface: "The building of 'Yu Xue' needs the pillar of 'Yongzhou', and Mr. Dong Keyi's "Da Yu Guide River Accumulation Stone" can be called the pillar of 'Yongzhou'. Mr. Feng Yulei, a well-known scholar and editor-in-chief of "Silk Road", commented in the preface: "The greatest value of "Dayu Guide River Stones" is Dong Keyi's compilation of merits. Due to the great influence of the myth of Dayu Zhishui, there are many related cultural relics and folk tales in the land of China. Discovering and protecting them requires vision, responsibility, and dedication. The process of urbanization in modern society is accelerating day by day, and many oral folk tales are likely to be lost if they cannot be excavated and sorted out in time. "Da Yu Dao River Stone" collects a lot of such precious historical materials... Dong Keyilu Lanyi insisted on field investigation, transforming them from oral materials into written materials, and should be able to play the role of the third evidence of anthropology for scholars' research and writers' creation, which is immeasurable. We know that all historical narratives contain historical memories with more historical imaginations, and it is impossible to record the deeds of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors before the mature text is produced. The "history" of the Xia Dynasty and the pre-Xia Dynasty recorded in the history books should be derived from the myths and legends passed down by word of mouth. The historical materials of the Xia Dynasty and Dayu that we see now are actually the result of the 'historical narrative' of the literati of later generations, and the field data on Dayu compiled in the "Da Yu Guiding River Accumulation Stone" adds new materials or new content to the 'historical narrative' in the development process of Chinese civilization. ”
