Story:
In ancient times, Gonggong, the tribal leader, vied with Zhuanxu for the imperial throne.
Enraged, Gonggong crashed his head against Buzhou Mountain, instantly breaking a pillar in the southeast that supported the sky and the great ropes that anchored the earth.
The sky lost its support and tilted towards the northwest.
As a result, the sun, moon, and stars across the land began to move towards the northwest, and all rivers and silt on earth flowed towards the southeast.
