Graphic Myths and Legends: Yu the Great Conquering the Flood
Paul D. Storrie
This graphic novel tells the legend of Yu the Great, a Chinese hero from the twenty-first century B. C. Some scholars believe Yu actually existed and that he founded the Xia Dynasty, the first Chinese empire described in historical records. Some later Chinese texts describe Yu as a kind and strong emperor whose engineering projects saved China from frequent floods. But in Chinese legend, as in this book, Yu is descended from the gods and born from a golden dragon. He saves China from floods by using magical soil to plug underwater springs, with the help of a tortoise, an owl, and a dragon.
