《望帝啼血化杜鹃》

杜宇教百姓种庄稼，当上古蜀国的国王，人称望帝。大水围城，从下游漂来的鳖灵挖开大山，治住了洪水。望帝主动让位，退居西山。死后他的灵魂化作杜鹃鸟，年年春天啼叫催人播种，嘴角啼出血来，染红了满山的杜鹃花。

"Du Yu taught his people to farm and ruled ancient Shu so well that all called him Emperor Wang. When floods struck, Bie Ling, a man whose body floated up the river and came back to life, dug through the mountains and tamed the waters. Emperor Wang gave up his throne and retired to the western hills. After death his soul became a cuckoo, crying each spring to hurry the sowing, until its blood dyed the azalea blossoms red."
