The earliest stories of mankind often begin with myths and legends. Because when a nation develops gradually, it begins to be confused about the world and its own sources and makes various answers, which marks the emergence of civilization. These varied answers are absurd myths and legends to modern people. However, for early people, this is a reasonable explanation. They constantly unconsciously explain and develop these "myths", which are handed down from generation to generation. They all firmly believe that this is the origin of the universe, human beings and all things in nature. Myth reflects primitive people's thinking and explanation of the universe and human beings themselves. What is a myth? Marx made a wonderful explanation: "any myth uses imagination and imagination to conquer, dominate and visualize natural forces;" Therefore, when these natural forces are actually dominated, the myth disappears. Myth is "the natural and social form itself processed by people's fantasy in an unconscious artistic way". Therefore, myth can be said to be an unconscious artistic creation of early human beings. It often personifies the natural forces and the objective world with the help of imagination and fantasy.
Myths can generally be divided into three types: pioneering myths, natural myths and heroic myths.
