OCR: Yu the Great Pacifying the Flood According to the Chinese myth, both Yu and his father Gun were considered as experts in controlling the flood. How- ever, the father and the son adopted different methods. Gun tried to contain the waters within dikes, but he did not succeed. Then Yu succeeded to the labors commenced by his father. Besides building dikes as Gun had done, he cut channels and built projects to drain the waters away to the sea. He finally succeeded in pacifying the flood.
