Abstract: The myth of Li Bing’s flood control represents a quintessential example of the “mythologization of history” in Chinese civilization. This paper systematically traces the complete evolution of Li Bing’s image from a Warring States period governor to the deity known as the “Chuanzhu”, revealing the inherent logic behind the creative integration of historical memory and mythological narrative. Research demonstrates that this process of mythologization is deeply rooted in Li Bing’s extraordinary hydrological achievements, propelled by religious assimilation and diverse cultural transmission, ultimately forming a regional belief system centered around the Dujiangyan irrigation project. In contemporary society, the myth of Li Bing has undergone creative transformation through a series of modern mediums, showcasing the vibrant potential for the innovative development of traditional culture.
