Story:
Legend has it that during Emperor Shun's reign, Yu was tasked with controlling the Yellow River floods.
Once, Yu was leading his men across the Yangtze River for an inspection when a giant yellow dragon emerged from the water in the middle of the river.
The people on the boat were greatly alarmed, turning pale with fear and losing their composure completely.
Only Yu remained calm and composed. He told the yellow dragon that he was not afraid to die. Hearing Yu's words, the yellow dragon had no choice but to sink back into the river and slip away.
