Yu the Great Stops the Flood

from The Mythographist Hosted by Jaer Christie

Last week, we witnessed Gun, along with his friends the tortoise and the swallow, steal xirang, a magical living soil, from the heavenly realms in order to stop a cataclysmic flood — only to be struck down by the Supreme Divinity, along with all they worked to build. This week, the second half of the story: the struggle for survival against the unforgiving elements, continued by Yu as he works to control the waters. Join me, Jaer Christie, as I explore the hidden legends that shape the world on The Mythographist: Myths of Mainland China. _______________________________ Written, narrated, and produced by Jaer Christie Research by Jaer Christie & Elena Tung Music: "Dancing Abroad" & "The Night" by Shaoqing Luna Li - https://filmmusic.io/u/sqluna/music License CC BY 4.0 - https://filmmusic.io/standard-license "Guangling Song" and "An Autumn Moon Over the Han Palace" from the collection The Essence of Famous Chinese Folk Music, used under CC fair use.
