The Story of Jingwei Filling the Sea
Long ago, the youngest daughter of Emperor Yan, named Nüwa (or Jingwei), loved exploring nature. One day, she secretly sailed to the Eastern Sea to watch the sunrise. However, a sudden storm overturned her boat, and she drowned in the roaring waves. Her spirit transformed into a bird with white beak and red claws, crying "Jingwei! Jingwei!" as it flew .
Filled with hatred for the sea that took her life, Jingwei vowed to prevent others from suffering the same fate. She began carrying twigs and pebbles from the mountains to the sea, determined to fill it. The sea mocked her: "Your effort is meaningless! You can never succeed." But Jingwei replied firmly: "I will try even if it takes thousands of years!" .
Day after day, she tirelessly continued her task. Though the sea seemed endless, her perseverance symbolized an unyielding spirit. The idiom "Jingwei filling the sea" now represents unwavering determination and courage against impossible odds .
核心要点解析：
1. 故事背景：精卫是炎帝之女，溺于东海后化为鸟（名称在不同版本中有差异，可统一为"Jingwei"）。
2. 冲突与行动：衔木石填海的执念源于对大海的憎恨和保护他人的愿望。
3. 寓意升华：强调坚韧不拔的精神，呼应成语“精卫填海”的文化内涵。
