In Yao time, there were 10 suns at the same time in the sky, it caused the earth to burn , people cant stand the heat (热度) and crops cant be grown. Because the extreme hot weather, it was able to injure people in every place. Emperor Yao, the Emperor of China, asked Hou Yi to use hisarcheryskill to shoot down all but one of the suns.2. It is said that there were no men when the sky and the earth were separated (被分开). In an ancient time, the sky could not cover all the things under it, nor could the earth carry all the things on it. A great fire was caught and would not die out; a fierce flood raced about and could not be stopped. Then Nuwa melted rocks of five colors and used them to mend the cracks in the sky. Thus the sky was mended, Nuwas deeds benefited the heavens above and the earth below. Her name was remembered by later generations. 3. Journey to the West is a historical novel that is considered one of the four classics from the Ming Dynasty. It was written by Wu Chengen. It is about a Buddhist (佛教的) monk and his disciples, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and Sha wujing who are a few animals with human characteristic. They have magical powers to protect them from the evils. They travelled to the west to India to find Buddhist scriptures (佛经). 4. There were two high mountains. Both of the mountains were very high. Just to the north of the mountains lived an old man called Yu Gong. With the two high mountains just in front of his house, his family and he had to walk a long way around the mountains whenever they had something to do on the other side of the mountains.One day, Yu Gong called all his family together to talk about how to move the two mountains to other places. A man saw them working and tried to stop them, saying, You are so silly! Youre so old and weak that you cant move the high mountains.Youre wrong, Yu Gong said with a sigh. Look, my sons can continue my work after my death. When my sons die, my grandchildren will continue. So generations after generations, theres no end. But the mountains cant grow higher. Do you still say I cant move them away?Later the Heaven God, upon learning of Yu Gongs story, was moved. He then ordered another god to come down and take the two high mountains away.HOMEWORKNameTitleOutlineFeeling Make a survey about your classmates. Ask what they know about Chinese folktales.
