It is said that there were two mountains in ancient times, one was taihang mountain and the other was wangwu mountain. In the north mountain there lived an old man named yu gong, who was nearly 90 years old. Every time he went out, he was blocked by these two mountains and had to go around in a great circle before he could go to the south.

One day, he called his whole family members together and said, I am ready to work with you to remove the taihang and wangwu mountains and build a road to the south.OK?

Everyone agreed, but yu gong's wife put forward a question: we all strength combined, can not move a hill, how can taihang, wangwu two mountains removed? Besides, where do you put all the earth and rocks that you've dug up?

After discussion, it is believed that the excavated soil and stones can be thrown to the eastern seaside and the farthest north.

Early the next morning, Yu Gong took his children and grandchildren to dig mountains. Although the family can't dig much every day, they still insist on digging. It's not until the season changes that they go home once.

An old man named Zhisou came to Yu Gong specially to advise him after he learned about this. He said, "You are too unwise to do so. How can you dig up these two mountains with your limited energy?" Yu Gong answered, "You are too stubborn to enlighten me. Even if I die, my son is here." The son died, and the grandson gave birth to a child, and the child gave birth to a son. Sons and grandchildren are endless, but the mountains will not rise again. Why not dig up unevenly?

At that time, when the God of the mountain saw Yu Gong digging more than one hill, he reported this to God. Moved by the spirit of yugong, God sent two Titan down to earth and carried the two mountains away. From then on, there is no mountain barrier here.

The story of Yugong's willingness to move mountains and finally remove the two mountains reflects the great courage and strong perseverance of the working people in ancient China in transforming nature. It also shows that we can overcome any difficulties as long as we make up our minds, do not fear difficulties and persevere.
