　　Da Yu Tamed Floods

　　Da Yu Tamed Floods is a legendary story of the Han People in ancient times. During the period of Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns (also known as the "Ancient Times", between about 8,000BC and 2,000BC) when the Yellow River flooded the land, Yu was commissioned by Shun, the leader of the tribal alliance of the Chinese People, to tame the flood. He came up with a smart way to replace the "blocking" method with the "dredging" one. When Shun became aged, he offered the leadership of the tribal alliance to Yu, who became the founder of the Xia Dynasty, the first dynasty in Chinese history.
