People were very concerned: so many rivers flow into the sea. Day and night they carry a lot of water there. The sea, of course, is very large, but what if it ever overflows and floods everything? What to do then, where to run?
People's hearts were relieved when the sages told them important information.
The fact is that when Nüwa repaired the sky, she left in the farthest east, far, far from the coast, the huge bottomless abyss Guyeyu. The waters of all rivers, seas and oceans and the Heavenly River (Milky Way) flow into it. And even if you pour water from all eight countries of the world into it,
nine regions of the earth and the whole sky, in this abyss nothing will come or go.
Since the sages informed people about the existence of the Guixu Abyss, everyone has ceased to be afraid of possible death
