Cheng Menlixue Yang Shi Brothers Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi were both very knowledgeable people in the Song Dynasty. In order to enrich his knowledge, Yang Shi, a Jinshi, resolutely gave up his high-ranking official position and went to Hanchang, Henan to worship Cheng Hao as his teacher, and he humbly sought advice. Later, when Cheng Hao died, he himself was over 40 years old, but he still determined to study and study hard. He went to Luoyang to become a disciple of Cheng Hao's younger brother Cheng Yi. So he went to Cheng's house with his friend You Ye. I went to see Cheng Yi, but I met Mr. Cheng with his eyes closed, sitting up and pretending to sleep. At this time, it started to snow outside. The two people were eager to ask for help, so they stood aside respectfully without saying a word. After waiting for a long time, Cheng Yi slowly opened his eyes and saw Yang Shi and You Ye standing in front of him. He was surprised and said: " Ah, ah! Are they still here?" At this time, the snow outside the door was already more than a foot thick, but Yang Shi and You Ye didn't look tired or impatient at all. Foolish Old Man Moves the Mountain The majestic and beautiful Wangwu Mountain is located 45 kilometers northwest of Jiyuan County in northwest Henan, bordering Taihang to the east, Zhongtiao to the west, Taiyue to the north, and the Yellow River to the south. Because "the mountain shape is like the hood of a king's car", it is called Wangwu Mountain. The summit of Wangwu Mountain is 1,715.7 meters above sea level. It is said to be the place where Emperor Xuanyuan prayed to heaven, and is also known as the "Temple of Heaven". The place where the legendary "Foolish Old Man Moves the Mountain" is located in the Yangtze River of Wangwu Mountain, which is a large north-south ridge extending from the main peak of Wangwu Mountain. To the west of the mountain ridge is Yugong Village and to the east is Xiaoyou River. People in Yugong Village have to go around the mountain ridge to get water from Xiaoyou River every day. Yugong and his descendants are determined to move it away. Now there is indeed a large mountain pass in the middle of this big mountain ridge. From a distance, it really looks like it was excavated manually. There was a Yugong in Beishan who was nearly ninety years old and lived directly opposite two mountains. Yu Gong suffered from the blocked road in the north of the mountain, so he had to take a long way out and in. The whole family was called together to discuss and said: "You and I will try our best to dig down the two mountains so that we can reach the south of Yuzhou and the south bank of Han River, okay?" Everyone agreed. His wife asked: "With your power, you cannot cut down hills like Kuifu. What can you do to Taihang and Wangwu? Besides, where can you put the earth and rocks?" Everyone said: "Throw the earth and rocks to On the edge of the Bohai Sea, to the north of Hidden Earth." Yu Gong then led three of his descendants who were able to carry the load, chisel stones, dig out soil, and use dustpans to transport it to the edge of the Bohai Sea. The neighbor's widow named Jingcheng had an orphan who was just seven or eight years old and jumped to help them. When winter and summer change seasons, we only go back and forth once. Hequ Zhisou stopped Yu Gong with a smile and said, "You are so unintelligent. With all the strength you have left in your remaining years, you can't destroy a blade of grass on the mountain. What can you do with the soil and stones?" Beishan Yu Gong sighed. One voice said: "You are so stubborn that you cannot change your mind. You are worse than a widow and a weak child. Even if I die, I will still have a son; a son will have a grandson, and a grandson will have a son; a son will have a son, and a son will have a son." There are also grandchildren; there is no end to the descendants, but the mountain will not grow taller or bigger, so why worry about digging to level it?" Hequ Zhisou had no words to answer. The mountain god holding the snake heard about it and was afraid that he would keep digging, so he reported the matter to the Emperor of Heaven. The Emperor of Heaven was moved by his sincerity and ordered Kua'e's two sons to carry two mountains on their backs. From then on, there are no mountains blocking the south of Jizhou and the Han River
