This chapter delves into the histories and stories of Yue, particularly the legends of the Yue king Goujian. It talks about King Wuyue of Yue, which includes the myths and tales of Yu, the legendary ruler from high antiquity, and the ancestor of the Yue people. It also reviews the mythical birth of Yu, whose mother was impregnated by swallowing a pearl barley grain and gave birth to Yu by opening her side. The chapter looks at lost Han <italic>chenwei</italic> writings that adopted stories about Yu's dream of a spirit that told him the location of the mountain god's text for regulating flooding, and the nine-tailed white fox who helped Yu make his marriage decision. It examines Sima Qian's record of Yu, in which the author relied heavily upon <italic>Shangshu</italic> and <italic>The Book of Antiquity</italic>.
