There were lots of floods, and this affected many. Gun, Yu's father tried building embankments out of soil to control the waters. It didn't really work out after some time, so Yu was sent to control the waters. He found out a way to control the water by building channels that divert the water into the sea. After 13 years of hard work and passing by his wife(and son)'s house multiple times, he successfully controlled the waters(thus why he is called "Yu the Great").]]> 2020-09-25 01:46:00 UTC https://padlet.com/s026317/q93qez14dirros4a/wish/778064579 s026317 https://padlet.com/s026317/q93qez14dirros4a/wish/778069092 He also taught the citizens to develop agriculture, breed animals and a lot of other skills.
