beneath the myth


the


Yu the Great was the
eighth son of the Yellow
Emperor and lived between
2200–2100 B.C. China was
plagued by devastating
floods that destroyed the
lives of many people. Yu
spent more than 13 years
separating streams, clearing
the courses of rivers, and
leading them to the sea. After
this, the people could cultivate
the lands. Legend says Yu rode
a dragon when he controlled the
flood waters. What do you think?
