太形、王屋二山,方七百里,同萬仞。本在冀州之南,河陽之北。北山愚公者,年且九十,面山而居。懲山北之寒塞,出入之迂也。聚室而謀曰:“吾與汝畢力平險,指通豫南,達于漢陰,可乎?”雜然相許。其妻獻疑曰:“以君之力,曾不能損魁父之丘,如太形、王屋何?且焉置土石?”雜曰:“投諸渤海之尾,隱土之北。”遂率子孫荷擔者三夫,叩石墾壤,箕畚運于渤海之尾。鄰人京城氏之孀妻,有遣男,始齔,跳往助之。寒暑易節,始一反焉。河曲智叟笑山之一毛,其如土石何?“北山愚公長息曰:“汝心之固,固不可徹,曾不若孀妻弱子。雖我之死,有子存焉;子又生孫,孫又生子;子又有子,子又有孫;子子孫孫,無窮匱也,而山不加增,何苦而不平?”河曲智叟亡以應。操蛇之神聞之,懼其不已也,告之于帝。帝感其誠,命萬蛾氏二子負二山,一厝朔東,一厝雍南。自此冀之南,漢之陰,無隴斷焉。夸父不量力,欲追日影,逐之于隅穀之際。渴欲得飲,赴飲河渭。河謂不足,將走北飲大澤。未至道,渴而死。棄其杖,尸膏肉所浸,生鄧林。鄧林彌廣數千里焉。
