Through the story of Pangu's creation, it expresses Pangu's broad mind and selfless dedication. It tells you how our ancestors understood the structure of the universe, the origin of mankind, the origin of everything and the relationship between people. At the same time, the folk historical knowledge is described as a few treasures. Although this narrative is not as fair as that expressed by historians, it more clearly reflects the simplest evaluation of the people. Those who have done good for the people should be praised and praised; Those who do evil and persecute people should be satirized and flogged. These stories may not be true, but they reflect a higher level of "truth" to some extent.
"The Year of the Fifth Movement" said: "King Pangu, the head of the snake, hissed as wind and rain, blew as lightning, and opened his eyes at night." After Yan Di, Chiyou and other tribes moved south from the Yellow River Basin, the legend of Fuxi evolved into Pangu, which spread among the southern minorities. Fan Wenlan believes that the legend of Pangu was created by ancient ancestors who absorbed the legend of "Pan Hu" or "Pangu" of southern minorities and added philosophical elements and their own imagination to the ancient classics, and used it to fill the gap in the era of Hongmeng. Ying Shao's "Custom Yi Tong" in the Eastern Han Dynasty had Tiger Pan's theory for the first time. Wen Yiduo's textual research on Fuxi proves that Pangu is a gourd, and the ancient meaning of the word "pan" is the beginning, and "pan" is a gourd, which means life reproduction.
The story of Pangu was earlier seen in Xú Zhēng's "Three Five Calendars" in the Three Kingdoms Period: "The world is like a chicken. Pangu was born in it. Eight thousand years old. Heaven and earth opened. Yang Qing is the sky. Cloudy is the ground. Pangu is among them. Nine changes a day. God is in heaven. Holy land. The sky is ten feet high. The earth is ten feet thick every day. Pangu grows ten feet a day. So 8,000 years. The sky is extremely high. The land is extremely deep. Pangu is extremely long. So I went to Wan Li that day. Then Huang San. The weather is fine, the bud begins, and then the heavens and the earth are separated, and the yin and yang are exposed and the vitality is distributed. It is pregnant, neutral and human. Mr. Pangu. The embodiment of dying. Qi turned into a storm. The sound is like thunder. The left eye is the sun. The right eye is the moon. Five limbs are four poles and five mountains. Blood is a river. Tendons are underground. Muscles are dirt. Hair is like a star. Skin is a plant. Tooth bones are stones. The essence is pearl jade. Sweat turned into rain. Insects in the body. Feel the wind. Became Li Wei. "
Since then, there have been more and more records about Pangu's creation. After his death, his head turned into Dongyue, his abdomen into Zhongyue, his left arm into Nanyue, his right arm into Beiyue, his feet into Xiyue, his eyes into the sun and the moon, his tears into rivers, his breath into the wind, his voice into thunder and lightning, and his husband and wife into Yin and Yang. Dong quoted the "five-year calendar year" in Guangbo Biography: "After Pangu's death, his joints were mountains, his body was rivers and seas, his blood was blasphemy, and his hair was vegetation." "Book in the Pillow" said: "In the past, the two instruments were not divided, but in the HarmonyOS system, they were not formed. The absence of heaven, earth, sun and moon is like a chicken laying eggs, which is chaotic and mysterious. Pangu is a real person, the essence of heaven and earth, and has been swimming in it since the beginning of Yuan Dynasty. "
Strange Tales said: "There is an ancient tomb in the South China Sea today, which is more than 300 miles long. The descendants of the common cloud chase and bury the soul of Pangu."
