土地肥力下降或盐碱化，狩猎和捕鱼范围增大而获得的数量却减少，诸如此类都是不可避免的，能获得的食物和其它物资只会越来越少。在这种情况下，只有一种选择，部族必须迁徙，移居到新的，更好的地方。

[Kuafu] A god in the ancient mythology of China, and a descendant of the Yan Emperor. As legend goes, he aspired to run after the sun, but died of thirsty on the way, and the cane he left became a forest called Denglin. Another legend says he once helped Chiyou to fight with the army of the Yellow Emperor, but got killed by Yinglong (a dragon), a god under the Yellow Emperor. Shan Hai Jing (Book of Mountains and Seas) says, "In the great wilderness there is a mountain called Chengdu Zaitian. There, a person with two yellow snakes at his head and two yellow snakes in his hands, was called Kuafu. Houtu gave birth to Xin, and Xin gave birth to Kuafu. Kuafu overrated himself, and wished to follow the shadow of the sun and capture the sun in Yugu, the place where the sun sets. When he became thirsty, the river water was not enough for him, so he headed for the great lake, but died before arrival." Another story is like this: "As Yinglong killed both Chiyou and Kuafu, he went to live in the south, thus, the south became rainy." According to a book written by Zhang Zhi of the Tang Dynasty, "There were three steep mountains in the east of Chenzhou, each being as high as hundreds of feet. As ancient legend says, when Deng Kuafu was racing with the sun, he came here for cooking, and these three mountains are the stones Kuafu used to support his cooking vessel." Volume 47 of Taiping Yulan, and Records of Prefectures and States say, "In the Fufu Mountain of Taizhou there are great traces, which are said to be left by Kuafu in his pursuit for the sun."
