In front of Yugong's house were two mountains, one called Taihang Mountain and the other called Wangwushan Mountain. These two mountains blocked the path of Yugong's family, forcing them to detour around the mountains whenever they went out, which was very inconvenient. One day, Yugong gathered his whole family to discuss a major matter. He said, "The two mountains in front of our house block our way in and out, and because of their obstruction, we have to walk many unnecessary miles every day. I want to move them to another place.
