Yu the Great (Chinese: 大禹; pinyin: Dà Yǔ, c. 2200 - 2100 BC), was a legendary ruler in ancient China famed for his introduction of flood control, inaugurating dynastic rule in China by founding the Xia Dynasty, and for his upright moral character.
The Yu mausoleum (大禹陵) known today was first built in the 6th century CE (Southern and Northern Dynasties period) in his honor. It is located four kilometers southeast of Shaoxing city (Zhejiang). Most of the structure was rebuilt many times in later periods. The three main parts of the mausoleum are the Yu tomb (禹陵), temple (禹廟) and memorial (禹祠). In many statues he is seen carrying an ANCIENT HOE (耒耜). (Wikipedia)
