Gong Gong rode the flying dragon, flew into the air, and crashed into Buzhou Mountain. During the foggy time, an earth-shaking boom could be heard. Buzhou Mountain was abruptly smashed by Gong Gong, and immediately broke in half, while the entire mountain collapsed. A huge change occurred between heaven and earth.
In the sky, the sun, moon, and stars changed their positions. On the ground, the mountains and rivers moved, and the rivers flowed. It turned out that Buzhou Mountain was the pillar between heaven and earth. The broken pillar had broken the rope that tied the earth. The earth collapsed to the southeast.
The sky tilted to the northwest. Because the sky was tilted to the northwest, the sun, moon, and stars rose from the east and set in the west every day. As the earth caved in to the southeast, the water of the great rivers surged eastward and flowed into the sea in the east.
Gong Gong's brave actions won him the respect of the people. After his death, people worshipped him as the God of Water Conservancy, and his son, Houtu, was also worshipped as the God of Society. Later, when people swore that Heaven and Houtu were above, they were talking about him. From this, one could see how much people respected them.
buzhou mountain
The legend about Gong Gong and Zhuanxu fighting for the throne and angrily bumping into Buzhou Mountain had been spread for more than two thousand years. The myths mentioned before showed that our ancestors did not know how to explain all kinds of natural phenomena at that time. They did not understand and master the laws of nature, so they were so powerless in front of nature, so they attributed all kinds of doubts to the existence of gods.
The power of nature was visualized and personified. Therefore, by creating myths and legends and praising heroes in their hearts, they created legendary figures such as Pangu, Nuwa, and the Yellow Emperor.
As for the legendary Gong Gong, of course, he might not be real. However, his courage, his determination, and his fearless spirit, which was willing to sacrifice himself to change the mountains and rivers, were worthy of our admiration. Even though the myths and legends mentioned before were the imagination and artistic processing of later generations.
However, the deification of tribal leaders in primitive society reflected that the leaders who originally served the tribe had transformed into power above society. The primitive society also began to have class divisions.
Note: The Five Emperors referred to the Yellow Emperor and his descendants, Zhuanxu, Diku, Yao, and Shun. They were called the Five Emperors by ancient historians.
Gonggong is a descendant of Emperor Yan. According to the Book of Mountains and Seas, the wife of Emperor Yan, the son of Chishui, Tingao gave birth to Yanju.
Yan Ju gave birth to Jie Bing, Jie Bing gave birth to Xi Qi, Xi Qi gave birth to Zhu Rong, Zhu Rong landed in the river, gave birth to Gong Gong.”Song Luo Mi "Lu Shi·Hou Ji II" notes quoted "Gui Zang·Qi Divination":"Gonggong has a human face, a snake body, and red hair." It is said that Gonggong is the god of water. "Zuo Zhuan, 17th year of Zhao Gong":"Gong Gong's family used water as a discipline, so he was a navy and was named after water. "Guan Zi·Du Du":"The king of Gong Gong, the water is seven tenths, the land is three tenths, and he takes advantage of the natural situation to control his subordinates.
"Huainanzi Ben Jing Xun":"During the time of Shun, Gong Gong shook the flood to thin the empty mulberry.”The most famous myth of Gonggong is the battle between Gonggong and Zhuanxu. "Huainanzi Astronomical Xun":"In the past, Gonggong and Zhuanxu fought for the throne. In anger, they touched the Buzhou Mountain. The heavenly pillar was broken, the earth was cut off, and the sky tilted to the northwest. Therefore, the sun, moon, and stars moved. The land is not in the southeast, so the water and dust return to it.”Zhuanxu was a descendant of the Yellow Emperor.
Thus, this battle was a continuation of the Huang Yan War. This battle was also known as Gonggong and Gao Xin (Huainanzi·Yuan Dao). And Shennong ("Diao Yu Ji" And Zhu Rong (Records of the Historian, Compendium of the Three Emperors); The dispute with Nuwa (Lu Shi, Tai Wu Ji). Other legends, such as Yu chasing Gonggong, Yu killing Gonggong's minister Xiangliu, etc., are also related to the remnants of the Huangyan War.
The "Nüwa mends the sky" popular in Qi City, Henan Province, now says: Gong Gong, Zhu Rong, Nu Wa and Coffin Man are brother and sister. Gonggong and Zhurong fought over eating swan eggs. Gonggong crashed into Buzhou Mountain, causing the sky to collapse and flood. Nvywa had the act of mending the sky, which seemed to be more primitive. See the Encyclopedic entries "Gong Gong" and "Worry for Nothing".
Gonggong angrily hit Buzhou Mountain, Tianzhu broke, and the earth was cut off. Nvywa then refined five-colored stones to mend the sky,"Li Pingkou Introduction"(this is a work of Tang Dynasty).
Pangu
The relationship between Buzhou Mountain and Pangu was that Pangu was the first to be born and the incarnation of the dying.……The four limbs and five bodies were the four poles and five mountains…Muscles are soil." It seemed that Buzhou Mountain was also a part of Pangu. He didn't know which part it was, but it could be called the Heavenly Pillar. Although it was extremely important, it was not Buzhou. Although this important item was not complete, it still had great uses: God. Once they were knocked over, it would be a big problem.
"Huainanzi Astronomical Xun":"In the past, Gong Gong and Zhuanxu fought for the throne, and they were angry and touched Buzhou Mountain. The sky was broken, and the earth was cut off. The sky tilted to the northwest, so the sun, moon and stars moved to the northwest. The earth was not full of water and dust in the southeast, so the water and dust returned to the northwest.
" There were two possibilities. One was that Buzhou Mountain was the pillar of heaven, and the other was that Buzhou Mountain contained the pillar of heaven. No matter what, this Heavenly Pillar itself had flaws. The general meaning of the translation was "In the past."
There was a man named Gonggong who was fighting for the throne with another man named Zhuanxu. Gonggong was angry because he could not win. He knocked his head against Buzhou Mountain, breaking a pillar supporting the sky in the northwest corner and a big rope tying the southeast corner. Therefore, the sky tilted to the northwest, and the sun, moon, and stars moved to the northwest. The ground was low-lying to the southeast, and the water and sand flowed to the southeast.
The Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Classic of the Western Hills: " Another 370 miles to the northwest is the Buzhou Mountain.”Guo Shu's note: "This mountain has a gap in the shape of a mountain. It is not surrounded by a circle, so it is called Yun."”
In the Great Wilderness Western Classic, it was also said that there were mountains in the northwest and overseas.”It seemed that this mountain didn't get its name after Gong Gong touched it, but because it had some problems.
"Huainanzi Astronomical Xun":"In the past, Gong Gong and Zhuanxu fought for the throne, and they were angry and touched Buzhou Mountain. The sky was broken, and the earth was cut off. The sky tilted to the northwest, so the sun, moon and stars moved to the northwest. The earth was not full of water and dust in the southeast, so the water and dust returned to the northwest.”
" Lu Buzhou, turn left." "Buzhou, the name of the mountain, northwest of Kunlun.”The Classic of Mountains and Seas, Western Classic of the Great Wilderness said: " Outside the Northwest Sea, in the corner of the Great Wilderness, there is a mountain that doesn't fit. It is called Buzhou.”Guo Pu's note: 'In the past, Gonggong and Zhuanxu fought for the throne. They were angry and touched the mountains of the Zhou Dynasty. The sky was broken and the earth pillars were broken.'So now the mountain is broken and not worth the money." This mountain was originally Tianzhu, but it was damaged by Gonggong, so it was named "Buzhou". Also "Lv's Spring and Autumn Annals·Ben Wei" said: "The best food is the grain of Xuan Mountain and the grain of Buzhou.”The Three Classics of the West in the Classic of Mountains and Seas says: " Mount Buzhou…has good fruits. They are like peaches, and their leaves are like dates. They are yellow and red. It is not hard to eat them.”This mountain is famous for producing delicious food. See Tianzhu and Gonggong.
According to the Book of Mountains and Seas, the son of Chishui, Tingao, the wife of Emperor Yan, gave birth to Yanju. Yanju gave birth to Jiebing. Jiebing gave birth to Xiqi. Xiqi gave birth to Zhurong. Zhurong descended into the river and gave birth to Gonggong.”Song Luo Mi "Lu Shi·Hou Ji II" notes quoted "Gui Zang·Qi Divination":"Gonggong has a human face, a snake body, and red hair." It is said that Gonggong is the god of water. "Zuo Zhuan, 17th year of Zhao Gong":"Gong Gong's family used water as a discipline, so he was a navy and was named after water.
"Guan Zi·Du Du":"The king of Gong Gong, the water is seven tenths, the land is three tenths, and he takes advantage of the natural situation to control his subordinates.”"Huainanzi, Ben Jing Xun":"In the time of Shun, Gong Gong shook the flood to thin the empty mulberry.”The most famous myth of Gonggong is the battle between Gonggong and Zhuanxu. "Huainanzi Astronomical Xun":"In the past, Gonggong and Zhuanxu fought for the throne. In anger, they touched the Buzhou Mountain. The Tianzhu was broken, the earth was cut off, and the sky tilted to the northwest.

Path to Heaven
It was said that Mount Buzhou was the only path from the human world to the Heaven Realm. Unfortunately, Mount Buzhou was cold all year round and snowed all year round. It was not a place that ordinary people could reach on foot. It was rumored that there was once a mortal who went up the mountain alone to see an immortal, but he never saw him return home. From then on, everyone trained their bodies and bones so that they could have enough strength to climb Buzhou Mountain. Later, due to the relaxation of the rules of heaven, countless mortals began to cultivate. In order to make their achievements complete as soon as possible, many people began to challenge Buzhou Mountain.
Xunbuzhou Mountain
The poet Chairman Mao wrote,"Awaken the millions of workers and peasants, work together, and prevent the red flag from rising under the mountain."”
Here, Chairman Mao admired Gong Gong very much. He quoted a saying from the Huainanzi Astronomical Xun: Gong Gong was angry and touched the Buzhou Mountain. The heavenly pillar broke, the earth was cut off, and the sky tilted to the northwest. Therefore, the sun, moon, and stars moved, and the earth did not reach the southeast, so the water and dust returned.”"Is he dead?" the poet wrote.”
