The main contribution-Dayu flood control:
During the reign of Emperor Yao, the Central Plains was flooded and the people were miserable. Emperor Yao ordered Gun to control water, and Gun was ordered to control water. Gun used the water barrier method, that is, a river bank was set on the shore, but the water flooded higher and higher, which failed to quell the flood for nine years. So Yu was appointed to take over the water conservancy. It is the best proof of Yu's efforts to control water.
Yu, Hou Ji and Hou Yi immediately called for help. He inspected the river course 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 water flowing downwards.
He personally led the people to sleep in the wind, live in the house, dredge the river in muddy water all day, introduce the accumulated water from the flat land into the river, and then inject it into the ocean. After 13 years of treatment, it finally succeeded and eliminated the flood disaster in the Central Plains. Because of his meritorious service in flood control, people respectfully call him "Dayu", that is, "Dayu" to express their gratitude to Yu.
