[4] One day, Kuafu decided to chase and catch the Sun.

However, the big rivers were also unable to quench his thirst, and as he searched for more water, he eventually died of dehydration.

[6] This mountain range and the peach forest are said to be located in present day Lingbao.

[7] In modern Chinese usage, the story of Kuafu chasing the Sun (夸父追日) is used to describe a person who is brave and optimistic and willing to overcome all the obstacles to reach the goal.

Since "shi" can mean both "clan" and "maiden name", as well as serving as a masculine honorific like "mister" or "sir", it is sometimes used in reference to his people or the individual.
