Juling Shen
Juling Shen () is a gigantic river god in Chinese mythology. He is usually associated with the Yellow River. Splitting Mount Hua It is said that Juling Shen split Mount Hua into two halves with his hands and feet so that the Yellow River could flow to the east. One half became Mount Hua; the other became Mount Shouyang () in the east. Imprints of his palm can still be seen on Mount Hua. This legend appears in Zhang Heng's "Rhapsody on the Western Capital" (). In ''Commentary on the Water Classic'', Li Daoyuan cites a passage from the much earlier '' Guoyu'' describing the same story. However, this quote is not found in the extant version of ''Guoyu''. It is possible that Li was actually citing another ancient text, ''Ancient Tales'' (). This legend is also found in Wang Wei's poem "Hua Mountain" (). In ''Journey to the West'' In the Ming dynasty novel ''Journey to the West'', Juling Shen is one of the first generals sent down by the Jade Emperor to capture the Monkey King. ...

Erlang Shen
