Lesson 23 Yugong Yishan The Book
of Liezi The two
mountains, Taihang and Wangwu, are 700 miles square and ten thousand feet high,
originally in the south of Jizhou and north of Heyang. He was
ninety years old and lived facing the mountains. He was punished for the
blockage in the north of the mountains, and the circuitous way to get in and
out of the mountains, so he gathered in his room and said, "I will work
with you to level the danger, so that we can pass through the south of Yu and
reach Hanyin. He agreed to do so. His wife offered doubt: "With the power
of the gentleman, had not been able to damage the hill of Kui father, such as
Taihang, Wangwu what? And how to place the earth and stones?" Miscellaneous said: "Cast the tail of
the Bohai Sea, the north of the hidden earth." So he led his children and
grandchildren to carry the burden of the three husbands, knocking on the stone
to reclaim the soil, dustpan transport in the end of the Bohai Sea. The widowed
wife of the neighboring Kyocheng clan had a surviving son who was beginning to
replace his teeth, and jumped to help him. The cold and the heat are easy, but
the first one is not. Hequ wise
man laughed and stopped it said: "very much, you do not benefit! With the
remaining strength of the remaining years, had not been able to destroy one of
the hairs of the mountain, which is like the earth and stone?" North
Mountain Yugong said: "Your heart's solid, solid can not be cut, had not as
the widow and weak children. Although I die, I have a son who survives. Son and
grandson, grandson and son; son and son, son and grandson; son and son and
grandson are endless, and the mountain does not increase, why suffer and not
equal?" The wise man of Hequ died in response. The god of
manipulating snakes heard of it, fearing that it will not stop, told the
emperor. The emperor felt his sincerity and ordered the two sons of Kua'e to
bear two mountains, one in the east of Shuo and one in the south of Yong. Since
then, the south of the Ji, Han's Yin, no Long break.
