In pursuit of the sun夸父追日

Ancient times, in the north of the country, there is a magnificent towering Chengdu contained Tianshan mountains there lived a giant called Kuafu family clan. Kuafu tribe leader called braggadocio, he was extremely tall, Litaiwuqiong, strong-willed, the extraordinary spirit. At that time, the world's desolation behind, poisonous snakes wild beasts run amok, and people's lives miserable. Kuafu the purpose of this tribe of people can live births every day and led the crowd fighting with the scourge. Braggadocio often caught in ferocious yellow snake hanging in his ears as a decoration, be proud of.

遠古時代，在我國北部，有一座巍峨雄偉的成都載天山，山上住著一個巨人氏族叫夸父族。夸父族的首領叫做夸父，他身高無比，力大無窮，意志堅強，氣概非凡。那時候，世界上荒涼落後，毒蛇猛獸橫行，人們生活凄苦。夸父為了本部落的人產能夠活下去，每天都率領眾人跟洪水猛獸搏鬥。夸父常常將捉到的兇惡的黃蛇掛在自己的兩隻耳朵上作為裝飾，引以為榮。

One year, days of drought. Like fire and the sun scorched the ground crops, dried up river water. One hot uncomfortable, I can not live. Kuafu to see this scenario, we set ambitious vowed to catch the sun and let it listen to the people's instructions, and better service for everyone.

有一年，天大旱。火一樣的太陽烤焦了地上的莊稼，晒乾了河裡的流水。人們熱得難受，實在無法生活。夸父見到這種情景，就立下雄心壯志，發誓要把太陽捉住，讓它聽從人們的吩咐，更好地為大家服務。

One day, the sun had just risen from the sea, Kuafu take significant steps from the edge of the East China Sea began his daily journey.

Sun in the sky flew forward, braggadocio on the ground as high winds to recover. Kuafu kept chasing 呀 chase, hungry, picking a wild fruit boxes; thirsty, and holding a river mouth thirst-quenching; tired, and was only a nap. His heart has been encouraging ourselves: "Soon, we must catch up with the sun, and people's lives will be happy." He catch for nine days and nine nights, from the sun, closer to us, glowing red, burning hot sun on his own head 啦.

太陽在空中飛快地轉，夸父在地上疾風一樣地追。夸父不停地追呀追，餓了，摘個野果充饑；渴了，捧口河水解渴；累了，也僅僅打盹。他心裡一直在鼓勵自己：「快了，就要追上太陽了，人們的生活就會幸福了。」他追了九天九夜，離太陽越來越近，紅彤彤、熱辣辣的太陽就在他自己的頭上啦。

Kuafu has crossed the one seat mountain, crossed a river section, and finally we must catch up with the sun-Yu Gu. At this time, Kuafu mind extremely excited. He may reach out to catch the sun, because of over-excitement, physical and psychological haggard, suddenly, Kuafu felt dizziness, actually passed out. When he awoke, the sun has long gone.

夸父又跨過了一座座高山，穿過了一條條大河，終於在禺谷就要追上太陽了。這時，夸父心裡興奮極了。可就在他伸手要捉住太陽的時候，由於過度激動，身心憔悴，突然，夸父感到頭昏眼花，竟暈過去了。他醒來時，太陽早已不見了。

Kuafu still not discouraged, he summon the body's strength, she is preparing to set out. However, the closer from the sun, the more intense sunlight, Kuafu feel more and more intolerable anxiety, he felt he was covered in water have been evaporated, and urgent, he needs to drink plenty of water. So stand up and walk south-east of Kuafu the Yellow River, Fu Xiashen son, drank the water of the Yellow River, the Yellow River water was that he Hegan, and he was going to drink the water in the Weihe River. Who knows, he Hegan of the Weihe River water, or not to quench your thirst. As a result, he intended to go north, going to drink a large Ze water. However, the braggadocio is really tired and too thirsty, and when he went half way, the body will no longer unable to cope, and slowly fall to the ground, dead.

夸父依然不氣餒，他鼓足全身的力氣，又準備出發了。可是離太陽越近，太陽光就越強烈，夸父越來越感到焦躁難耐，他覺得他渾身的水分都被蒸幹了，當務之急，他需要喝大量的水。於是，夸父站起來走到東南方的黃河邊，伏下身子，猛喝黃河裡的水，黃河水被他喝乾了，他又去喝渭河裡的水。誰知道，他喝乾了渭河水，還是不解渴。於是，他打算向北走，去喝一個大澤的水。可是，夸父實在太累太渴了，當他走到中途時，身體就再也支持不住了，慢慢地倒下去，死了。

Kuafu's death, his body turned into a mountain. This is the "braggadocio Mountain", it was said Lingbao County, Henan Province is located in the West is now 35 Spirit Lake valley and the pool where the middle valley. Kuafu dropped the cane when he died, but also has become a colorful Yunxia Taolin the same. Taolin of the difficult terrain, and their descendants treat this place called the "Tao-lin chai."

夸父死後，他的身體變成了一座大山。這就是「夸父山」，據說，位於現在河南省靈寶縣西三十五里靈湖峪和池峪中間。夸父死時扔下的手杖，也變成了一片五彩雲霞一樣的桃林。桃林的地勢險要，後人把這裡叫做「桃林寨」。

Kuafu dead, he did not catch the sun. However, the Emperor of Heaven by his sacrifice, moved by the spirit of the brave heroes to punish the sun. Since then, every year of his tribal days, all things flourish. Kuafu's descendants live in Kuafu Yamashita, parenthood, offspring, life is very happy.

夸父死了，他並沒捉住太陽。可是天帝被他的犧牲、勇敢的英雄精神所感動，懲罰了太陽。從此，他的部族年年風調雨順，萬物興盛。夸父的後代子孫居住在夸父山下，生兒育女，繁衍後代，生活是非常幸福。
