Wu Gang's Gui Gui, or Wu Gang's Gui Gui, is one of the ancient Chinese myths and legends. According to legend, a man Wu Gang has no patience to do things on weekdays. One day, Wu Gang was fined for cutting the laurel tree at the Moon Palace for making mistakes while building the fairy. Immortals just took this never-ending labor as a punishment for Wu Gang.

This story tells us to have patience and perseverance in doing things, not three days of fishing and two days of drying the net.
