When I was a child, whether it was children's enlightenment books or primary school teaching textbooks, we all learned the myth story of Pangu's creation sooner or later and learned that Pangu was the god of creation. Ancient heaven and earth were indistinguishable, and the universe was chaotic and dark. Pangu slept in this chaos for more than 18 thousand years. When he woke up, he found chaos, and he divided heaven and earth. From then on, heaven and earth separated, and Pangu opened the world.
Tracing back to the earliest ancient books in China that recorded the story of Pangu's creation of the world, it was verified as Thirty-five Calendars. The original record of the May 3rd Calendar, translated into vernacular, means: "The chaos of the world is like an egg. Pangu was born in this chaos. At the age of 18,000, the difference between heaven and earth gradually divided. In chaos, yang is clear and condensed into the sky, while yin is turbid and condensed into the ground. Pangu is in the chaos of yin and yang, growing slowly, changing nine times a day and growing rapidly. As he grew up, the sky was ten feet taller and the ground was ten feet thicker. In this way, more than 18 thousand years have passed. The sky became extremely high, the earth became very thick and deep, and Pangu became very high. "
Therefore, we can know that at first, there was no distinction between heaven and earth, and there was chaos everywhere, such as chickens, in which Pangu grew. Pangu's body changes greatly every day, growing ten feet every day. This egg-like chaos is divided into heaven and earth, and at the same time it is ten feet taller and thicker than Pangu every day. Eventually evolved into the present world.
From it, we can know that the gestation and growth of Pangu is like the process of a pregnant baby in the womb. Pangu was formed by perceiving the essence of chaos, and then developed and was born, opening the world with its own growth.
