About this story
大禹治水是中国上古最著名的传说之一,见于《尚书·禹贡》《孟子·滕文公上》《史记·夏本纪》等古籍。这一版保留了古书里的关键细节:鲧用堵的办法九年无功,禹新婚四天就出发,“左准绳,右规矩”,在外十三年、三过家门而不入;应龙以尾画地的神话来自《楚辞·天问》及王逸注,三次过家门的具体情景则按民间常见的讲法展开。
What it teaches
堵不如疏:遇到难题,先弄清它的规律再动手。大禹把百姓的安危放在自己的小家前面,讲的是责任与担当,也让孩子体会到家人的等待和支持同样了不起。

Tips for telling it
- 讲到鲧“堵”和禹“疏”时,可以用一盆水和一根吸管给孩子演示:堵住会溢出来,挖条路水就流走了。
- 三过家门的三段要一段比一段揪心,讲到启拉衣角时放慢、压低声音。
- 讲完可以问孩子:如果你是禹,第三次会不会进门?为什么?
