nce upon a time, there was a great king named Yu Di. He was very kind and wise, he was also the
most powerful god in history. Even in god’s standard, he was considered as one of the most caring
gods. All his people worshipped him and looked upon him when unfair things happen. But the
thing about the gods…..Well, they live a long life, don’t they? And so they have A LOT of children, and so
does Yu Di. He married two wives which are water and earth dragons and they gave birth to two beautiful
daughters who are Chang and Huang, since the two daughters are both powerful and wise like Yu Di, he
gave the largest river to Chang and the second largest to Huang, and since then on the rivers are known as
Chang Jiang and Huang He. Chang is a water dragon and so Chang Jiang has the largest rainfall among all
rivers, Huang is a earth dragon, and so Huang He’s river water is full of yellow dirt from where Huang rests,
Huang Tu Gaoyuan. Surprisingly, Chang and Huang get along very well, they even called each other sisters!
The interesting thing comes a few hundred years later, when the goddess of harmony and peace gave
birth to a triplet and claimed them to be Yu Di’s daughter. Chang and Huang were furious and thought to
themselves: If the triplets are more beautiful and powerful than me, then dad won’t treat us as well as before!
So Chang and Huang stormed in Yu Di’s palace and demanded for an explanation from him. Once they
stormed in, they found themselves staring at the most stunning girls they’ve ever seen. They were shocked
for a moment and quickly realized that the girls were the so called triplet daughters of Yu Di! For a
moment, nobody spoke, then, Yu Di broke the awkward situation by introducing the girls, “Chang and
Huang, my most beautiful daughters, here are your three new sisters, and they are Xei, Bei, and Dong.
They will also be in charge of three rivers in different directions, Xei Jiang, Bei Jiang and Dong Jiang.”
Chang disliked the triplets at first sight because they are more beautiful than her and she knows that one
day they are going to be the most powerful river patron goddesses in history. Huang also disliked them and
so the two goddesses talked together and figured out a plan to make the triplets disappear in a “accident”. By
mixing up their blood and godly powers, Chang and Huang created the most powerful monster called flood.
The monster can cause water to overflow and bring diseases. Then on one sunny day while the triplets were
taking a nap, they released flood and it destroyed half of China in less than a day, and most of the people die
from flood’s attack. Bei was the first to wake up and called the other two sisters up, they were sorry for the
people who have died and swore to have their revenge, since Chang and Huang were older and wiser than
them, and there will be no way to defeat them in a single to single battle, the triplets mixed their powers up
and created a place called Pearl River Delta to be their base and offered sanctuary to the people who have
lost their homeland. They defeated Chang and Huang in the end by using their powers and the help from
the people they have helped, and after the battle, the triplets were greatly rewarded by Yu Di by providing
them a large amount of population living along the rivers, and Chang and Huang were punished by never
letting them to go down to the human world again. Since then on, the great place which helped a lot of
people is called Pearl River Delta.
