How did the history of the white fish in Hongze Lake come about

It is said that Da Yu controlled the waterway through Hongze Lake. At that time, it was still in ancient times, and people's lives relied mainly on fishing and hunting. The laborers who controlled the water were tired and fell ill due to lack of food and clothing. Da Yu was very anxious. He heard that Hongze Lake was rich in fish and shrimp, especially white fish, which were plump, healthy, and had delicious meat. Unfortunately, an evil dragon came from somewhere, causing trouble and harming the lives of the people. Fishermen dare not go down to the lake, and the residents by the lake have also fled their homes. Therefore, food is extremely scarce. After hearing this, Dayu was very angry and immediately brought dry food. He set off alone, determined to eliminate pests and punish evil dragons for the people. On the way, he received divine power from Guanyin Bodhisattva, a divine whip from Zhang Guolao, and assistance from a divine turtle. He engaged in a fierce battle with a dragon deep in the lake for three days and nights, and killed the dragon. From then on, the people by the lake resumed their normal fishing and hunting life. Dayu used white fish caught from the lake to comfort the migrant workers who were controlling the water. After eating the steamed self fish made by Dayu, the workers were strong and energetic, and soon followed Dayu to divert the water from the Huai River and Yellow River to the sea, effectively controlling the flood
