Yu, Qi and Hou Ji immediately called troops to come to the rescue. He inspected the river and reviewed the reasons why Gun failed in water control. Yu summed up the lessons of his father's failure in water control. The reform of water control methods mainly focused on dredging rivers, and dredged nine rivers by using the natural trend of downward flow of water conservancy. Yu personally led the people to sleep in the wind, soaked in muddy water all day to dredge the river, introduced the accumulated water on the flat land into the river, and then injected it into the ocean. Yu's perseverance and pioneering spirit, after thirteen years of governance, finally successfully eliminated the flood disaster in the Central Plains. Dayu made great contributions to water control and was abdicated by Shun Chan. Yu Xia ascended the throne of the emperor, and took his own "Xia" as the title, announcing the formal establishment of the Xia Dynasty. The prince is the heir of the Xia Dynasty, and the son of heaven is the crown prince. Dayu tomb monument.
During the flood control, Yu climbed mountains and crossed rivers, measured the terrain from west to east with measuring instruments, set datum points and planned waterways. He led the migrant workers in charge of water conservancy throughout the country, cutting mountains on every mountain according to the benchmark, building dikes to prevent depressions, dredging waterways and leading floods into the sea. I tried my best to control water, not afraid of hard work, and never dared to rest. Shortly after his marriage with Nv Jiao, Tushan Stone, he left his wife and embarked on the road of water control. Later, he passed by the door, heard the sound of his wife giving birth and his son falling to the ground, and dared not enter the house. When I passed by my hometown for the third time, my son Qi was held in my mother's arms. He can already call his father, waving his little hand and greeting Yu. I just waved to my wife and children to show that I saw it, but I still didn't stop. Because of his meritorious service in flood control, people respectfully call him "Dayu", that is, "Dayu" to express their gratitude to Yu.
