This had cause Fire Balls and Great Flood to fall on Earth and 禹 Yu the Great later take over his father 舜 Shun role to control the Flood. This encounter of Great Flood is similar to Noel Ark which save all animals in Christian Bible and Manu in Hindu Rig Vedas which save all seeds of plants.

Chinese Conception Chart

The Chinese Conception Chart, also known as the Chinese Pregnancy Calendar and the Chinese Conception Calendar, is supposed to predict whether you will have a girl or boy.

The story goes that the original Chinese Pregnancy Chart was buried in a royal tomb nearly one thousand years ago, and you can now see it at the Beijing Institute of Science.

It's easy enough to use: just find the line on the Pregnancy Calendar that equates to your age and move along until you reach the month in which you conceived. If the square is pink, you'll have a girl, blue and expect a boy. If you're 21, according to the birth chart there's not much chance of a boy!
