Answer:
At present, there are two known views on which river basin Yu controlled the flood:
1. Yellow River Basin. In the Records of the Grand Historian, it is clearly recorded that in the course of Yu's flood control, "guiding the river and accumulating stones, as for Longmen", Jishi Mountain and Longmen are the names of the Yellow River. This statement is also the most widely circulated and accepted by most people. The Yellow River Basin is the most important birthplace of Chinese civilization, with extensive and dense distribution of Banpo culture, Laoguantai culture, Peiligang culture, Longshan culture, Yangshao culture, Taosi culture, Dawenkou culture and many other prehistoric cultural sites, which fully proves that the Yellow River basin was the main settlement place of early human beings. It is also very likely that Yu's flood control occurred in the Yellow River basin, which was the main area of human activity at that time. In recent years, archaeological excavations at the Lajia site on the edge of the Yellow River in Qinghai Province have also confirmed that there was a very large scale flood baptism, and the age of the Lajia site is almost equivalent to the era of Great Yu's life, which also confirms this from the side.
2. Huaihe River Basin. "Yue Du Jing" records: "Yu Li water, three to Tongbai Mountain, thunder walk, stone wood Ming, Kui dragon Tubo Chuan, Tianlao Su soldiers, gong can not xing." The Huai River is also a famous river with abundant water. In ancient times, every rainy season, the Huai River was also very serious.
Yu the Great to control the flood is an ancient Chinese myth and legend story, the famous ancient flood legend. He was a descendant of the Yellow Emperor. During the reign of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, Gun, Yu and his son were assigned by Emperor Yao and Emperor Shun as Chong Bo and Xia Bo, responsible for controlling the river. Da Yu led the people to fight against the flood in the natural disaster, and finally won the victory. In the face of the flood, Yu learned from the failure of Gun to control the water, changed the method of blocking the flood and dredging the flood, demonstrating his wisdom and wisdom in leading the people to overcome difficulties. In order to control the flood, Da Yu fought with the people outside for many years, ignoring his personal interests, and "did not enter the house three times." The Great Yu controlled the flood for 13 years, exhausted his efforts and physical strength, and finally completed the great cause of controlling the flood.
