It led the people to control the flood and practiced the farming system of farming according to the season, but it could not cure the flood in the end. In his later years, because of the flood, the Shu people were not able to live in peace, but made him xiangbieling to control the water. Bieling observed the terrain, measured the water potential, chiseled Yushan (Yulei mountain), opened Jintang Gorge (the gorge between Paotai mountain and Yunding mountain), dredged and vented the flood, and made the Shu people safe. Feel its water control, let the emperor in bieling, called Kaiming. Du Yu retired and lived in seclusion in the west mountain. It is said that he turned into a cuckoo after he died.

The legend of cuckoo

Cuckoo, also known as ziguiniao, is said to be the result of the evil spirit of Du Yu, the emperor of Shu. It sings plainly and urges people to return home. Therefore, it is also known as "yearning for home" and "urging home". It is said that Cong di bieling, who originally lived by the Yangtze River, was cultivated by a turtle spirit. Every night, he would go to a Yehe tree near the well to have a tryst with his lover Julie. When he heard of the flood in the West Sea, he went up the river and went to Shu. King Du Yu appointed bieling as his prime minister and ordered him to control the flood. Julie missed her fiance and came to Shu to find bieling. On that day, I happened to see the emperor hunting. I met Julie in the mountains. Seeing that Julie was so beautiful, I ordered someone to be a princess in the palace. Julie didn't know that bieling was the Prime Minister of Shu. She didn't dare to identify herself, but she was always depressed. When bieling returned from the flood control, Wang Di held a banquet for him to celebrate his success. That night, bieling got drunk and stayed in the palace. Late at night, Julie knocked on bieling's door. They met and cried bitterly. They told each other about their love after parting. Wangdi found that they were having a tryst, and when he heard the story, he felt regret. That night, he drafted an imperial edict. The emperor abdicated in bieling, but he quietly went into the mountain. Bieling succeeded to the throne and was called Cong di. Emperor Cong and Julie were very moved by Wang's noble sentiment. In the mountains, Wang Di missed Julie so much that he died in pain and loneliness. His soul turned into a cuckoo and flew back to the capital of Shu. That night, Julie was leaning against the fence to look at the moon, missing the emperor, when she heard the cuckoo cry: "back, back! "It's like the voice of the emperor. It's heartbreaking. Julie hurried downstairs to have a look, but the cuckoo died of excessive crying and vomiting blood. Julie held the cuckoo in her arms and wept bitterly. Tears fell on the cuckoo, which immediately turned into thousands of cuckoos flying all over the sky, crying: "back, back! "Julie, with a cuckoo in her back, called," brother, brother! "

verse

As Li Shangyin said in the poem "Jinse", which describes his life experience, Zhuang Sheng is fascinated by butterflies in his dreams, and hopes that the emperor will trust cuckoos in his heart. The moon and pearl in the sea have tears, the blue field is warm and the jade is smoking. Heart sad, suffering unceasingly, so it is called "cuckoo cry blood ape cry".
