Chinese Great Yu Flood
myth:chinese_great_yu_floodChina tells the flood differently: not survival but conquest. Gun tries to dam the endless floods with stolen self-swelling soil and fails, and is put to death; his son Yu succeeds by the opposite way — dredging the rivers and cutting channels to carry the waters to the sea. Toiling thirteen years, passing his own door three times without entering, Yu tames the flood and founds the first dynasty. — Chinese myth
