How the universe originated is a mystery that human beings have been exploring. Long ago, there were myths and legends about Pangu's creation.

According to legend, heaven and earth were originally a dark and chaotic substance, like a big egg. It was conceived in the middle under the plate. 18000 years later, suddenly there was a loud noise and the big egg cracked. Some heavy and turbid things gradually go underground, while light and clear things gradually rise and become the sky. The chaotic world is divided by Pangu, who holds the sky in his hand and feet on the ground. The sky is ten feet high and the earth is ten feet thick. Pangu's body grows ten feet a day. In this way, another 18,000 years passed, and Pangu's body grew to the height of nine Wan Li, standing like a huge pillar in the middle of heaven and earth, so that heaven and earth could no longer be closed and dark and chaotic. But Pangu was also very tired and finally fell down and died.

Before Pangu died, strange changes took place in heaven and earth. His voice turned into rumbling thunder, the air he exhaled into clouds, his left eye into the sun, his right eye into the moon, his body and limbs into the four poles and five mountains of the earth, his blood into rivers, lakes and seas, his tendons into roads, his muscles into fields, his hair and beard into stars in the sky, his skin and hair into flowers and trees, and his teeth and hair into flowers and trees. All kinds of parasites growing on him, nourished by sunshine and rain, have become ordinary people on earth. In this way, after the creation of the world, Pangu gave birth to everything in the world with his whole body.

There is a legend about Pangu's divine power. When he cried, his tears turned into rivers, and the flash in his eyes turned into lightning. Say that when he is happy, it is sunny; When you are angry, the sky is gloomy. He also said that it is daytime to open your eyes and night to close your eyes.

Pangu, who created the world, is revered by people. In some ethnic groups in southwest China, there are also various rituals and myths that worship Pangu. Legend has it that there is an 800-mile-long tomb in the South China Sea to bury his soul.

2. Nu Wa made man

After the opening of heaven and earth, there were sun, moon and stars in the sky, mountains and rivers and plants on the ground, even birds, animals, insects and fish, but no human beings. At this time, a magical goddess named Nu Wa appeared. It is said that she can change it seventy times a day. One day, Nu Wa, a great god, walked on this desolate land and looked around, feeling very lonely. She thinks something should be added between heaven and earth to make it alive.

Walking, she was a little tired and occasionally squatted down by a pool. The clear pool saw her face and figure; She smiled, and the shadow by the pool smiled back at her; She pretended to be angry, and the shadow in the pool was angry with her. She suddenly had a brainwave: there are all kinds of creatures in the world, but none is like herself, so why not create a creature like herself to join the world?

Thinking about it, she conveniently dug out a lump of yellow mud from the pool, mixed it with water, held it in her hand, squeezed it, and squeezed it into the first doll-like little thing.

She put this little thing on the ground. Strangely, the little clay-kneading guy came to life as soon as he touched the ground. He shouted, "Mom!" " "

She named her beloved child Ren.

Although the human body is small, it is said that because it was created by God, it looks and behaves a bit like God, which is different from birds and reptiles. From this point of view, there seems to be an extraordinary spirit to manage the universe.

Nu Wa is very satisfied with her work. So, she continued to do her work. She made many lovely talking and walking little people out of yellow mud. These little people jumped around her and cheered, which made her feel unspeakable joy and comfort.

She is bent on filling the earth with these sensitive little creatures. However, the earth is too big after all. She worked for a long time but didn't achieve her wish, and she was exhausted herself.

Finally, she came up with a wonderful way to create human beings. She tore off a dead vine from the cliff, plunged it into the mire and stirred it into muddy yellow mud. When the mud splashed on the ground, many little people screamed and jumped around, just like the little people made of yellow mud. The shouts of "mom" and "mom" echoed around.

This is really simple and easy. With a wave of his walking stick, many living people appeared, and soon, the earth was covered with human traces.

Although there are human beings on the earth, Nu Wa's work has not stopped. She thought again: people are going to die. Do you want to create another batch after death? This is too much trouble. How can we keep them alive?

Later, she finally figured out a way to divide those little people into men and women, let men and women cooperate and let them create their own offspring. Human beings have continued from generation to generation, and they are increasing day by day.

After Nu Wa created mankind, she was silent for many years, and mankind has been living a happy life.

Unexpectedly, one year, the universe suddenly changed a lot.

Half of the sky collapsed, revealing some ugly big holes in the sky, and the ground also burst into black holes. In this great change, the mountain forest ignited a raging fire; Floods gushed out of the ground, the waves soared, and the earth became an ocean. Humans have been unable to survive, and at the same time, they are suffering from all kinds of evil birds and beasts that have escaped from forest fires.

Nu Wa was very sad to see her child suffer such a terrible disaster. She didn't have time to investigate the cause of the mess, so she quickly started her own work and tried to repair the broken world.

First, she chose many colorful stones in the river, made a fire, melted them into paste-like liquid, and then filled all the ugly holes in the sky with these paste-like liquids. Looking closely, although it is still a little different, it looks almost the same as the original scene from a distance.

Afraid that the mended sky would collapse again, she killed another turtle, cut off its four feet, and used them to stand around the earth as Tianzhu, supporting the sky above human heads like a tent. These pillars are so strong that the sky is no longer in danger of collapsing.

At that time, there was a vicious black dragon in the Central Plains, making waves and harming the people. Nu Wa killed the black dragon, and at the same time drove away all kinds of evil birds and beasts, so that human beings would no longer be hurt by animals.
