original flood story

In the original flood story, a key element is the wrath of the divine. God, or the gods, were often displeased with humanity's wickedness, which led to the decision to send a flood. Another element is the chosen survivor. Usually, there is a righteous man or family, like Noah in the Bible, who is tasked with building an ark to save animals and themselves. Also, the flood itself is a major part. It's a cataclysmic event that wipes out most of the life on earth.

The original text of Dayu's flood control was the original text of Dayu's flood control and the translation mentioned that Yu, Yi and Houji were ordered by the emperor to make the vassals and the common people rise up to cover the earth, walk the mountains and trees, and stabilize the mountains and rivers. The original text described the scene of Yu accepting the emperor's order to deal with the flood together with Yi and Houji.

The original text of Dayu's flood-control text was: " A long, long time ago, floods often occurred. Floods flooded the fields and destroyed the houses. Venomous snakes and beasts hurt people and livestock everywhere. People's lives were extremely painful. The flood had brought countless disasters to the people. They had to cure it. At that time, a man named Gun led everyone to control the flood. He only knew how to build a dam to block the water. Nine years had passed, but the flood had not subsided. His son, Yu, continued to control the flood. Yu left his hometown for thirteen years. In these thirteen years, he had been running around everywhere and had passed by his house three times. However, he thought it was more important to control the water, so he did not go into the house to take a look. Yu learned the lesson from Gun's failure to control the flood and adopted the method of dredging. Together with thousands of people, he dredged many rivers, allowing the flood to flow through the rivers and finally into the sea. The flood finally receded, the poisonous snakes and beasts were driven away, and people moved their homes back. Everyone is farming on the flooded land. Agricultural production is gradually recovering, and the people are living a peaceful life again."

In the Bible, the flood story involves Noah and is a story of God's judgment and mercy. In the Epic of Gilgamesh from Mesopotamian culture, there are similarities. Utnapishtim is the hero who survives the flood. However, there are differences in details. For example, the reasons for the gods' anger might be slightly different. In some Native American flood stories, the flood is also a form of cleansing, but the way the survivors are chosen and the nature of the flood can vary from the Judeo - Christian or Mesopotamian versions.

The flood finally receded, the poisonous snakes and beasts were driven away, and people moved their homes back. Everyone was farming on the flooded land, and agricultural production gradually recovered. The people once again lived a peaceful life.

The original text of Dayu's flood control was: " Yu's governance of water and soil was to control Bashu in the west, Jiaozhi in the south, the Yellow River in the east, and Youling in the north. There was no place far away and no place near. Therefore, the four poles were eight thousand miles away from the sage and still governed. The people of Baipu were not far away from each other." The translation was: " Yu controlled the water and soil. He controlled the water of Ba and Shu in the west, guided the water of Jiaozhi in the south, reached the river in the east, and reached Youling in the north. He reached all the distant places and was close to all the near places. Therefore, even within the four poles 8,000 miles from the Sage's location, it can still manage the water and soil, allowing the people to live and work in peace and contentment."

The Gilgamesh flood story has some similarities to other flood stories. For example, like the Noah's Ark story, there is a chosen person (Utnapishtim in Gilgamesh and Noah in the Bible) who is warned by a divine being about the flood. They both build a large vessel to save themselves, their families, and animals. However, the cultural and religious contexts are different. In the Gilgamesh story, it is part of the Mesopotamian mythology, while the Noah's Ark is from the Judeo - Christian tradition.

I don't think it is. Usually, stories like this are crafted by the author's imagination to engage and touch the readers' hearts rather than being based on real events.

Not really. 'The Flood' is more of a fictional creation rather than being rooted in real events.

The flood story is ancient and its age is difficult to determine precisely. Different cultures have their own versions that have been passed down through generations for a long time.
