jīngwèi tián hǎi
古代神话,炎帝的女儿在东海淹死,化为精卫鸟,每天衔西山的木石来填东海(见于《山海经·北山经》)。后来用精卫填海比喻有深仇大恨,立志必报。也比喻不畏艰难,努力奋斗。 {According to an ancient legend, after Emperor Yan's daughter was drowned in the Eastern Sea, she turned into the bird Jingwei, who pecked twigs and pebbles from the Western Mountains in an effort to fill up the Eastern Sea (Book of Mountains and Seas·Northern Lands Beyond the Sea). The phrase is used figuratively to mean dogged determination to take revenge or to achieve one's goal.}
