Yu the Great Controls the Flood
洪水滔天，鲧用堵法失败。禹改疏导，三过家门而不入，终于治水成功，划九州。故事强调方法对了（疏而非堵）与公而忘私的坚持。
When floods rose, Gun failed by blocking water. Yu switched to dredging and channeling, passing his home three times without entering, and finally tamed the waters and ordered the Nine Provinces. Method (guide, don’t only block) plus public dedication.
洪水不吃虚荣。大禹以疏导取胜——导多于堵。公共神话：领导是长期劳动与对地形的倾听。今日：系统问题需要通道，不只围墙。
Floods do not yield to vanity. Yu succeeds by channeling water—guide more than block. A civic myth: leadership as long labor and listening to terrain. Today: systems problems need pathways, not only walls.
After the moral, ask one question: if a similar choice showed up today, where does the story snag? Name that tension first—then take your own step. You need not copy the ancients, only borrow their clarity.
