"The Foolish Lord Removes the Mountain" is an allegorical sketch written by the thinker Liezi in the Warring States period. The article recounts the story of Yugong, who, undaunted by difficulties, persisted in digging up the mountain and eventually moved the Emperor of Heaven to move the mountain away.
The Warring States period was a time of great social change, and also a time when a hundred schools of thought contended for supremacy. As an important part of the prose of the sons, fables became a powerful weapon for the sons of the Warring States period to clarify their political views, academic thoughts and arguments.
The Liezi is a collection of fables and myths produced in such an era. This article is taken from the fifth chapter of "Liezi - Tang Wen," which tells the story of Yugong, who dug up the mountain despite the difficulties and finally moved the emperor to move the mountain away. It also shows that at that time, when the productive forces were very undeveloped, people could only fantasize about the gods with superhuman powers to realize their desire to conquer nature.
