The legend of human origin in China

Legend 1: Nu Wa is Fu Xishi. She has a human head and a snake's body, shovels dirt to be a man, and practices five-color stones to make up the sky.

Legend 2: Nu Wa is the matriarch who unified all tribes after Fuxi Shi. Later, she managed floods and advocated successful reproduction, so she was regarded as the mother of man and the god of mending the sky by myth.

Legend 3: Pangu created the world. The world is in chaos, and Pangu is in it. Later, the sky grew ten feet higher, the earth grew ten feet higher, and Pangu grew ten feet. In the long run, Pangu became taller and taller until he was dying. His left eye turned into the sun, his right eye into the moon, his blood into rivers, his muscles into fields, his hair into stars, his fur into vegetation, and his lice and insects into humans.

Extended data:

Ancestor myth refers to myths and legends about the origin of human beings. Just like caring about the origin of the universe, people are also very interested in the origin of mankind. All nationalities in the world have myths and legends about their ancestors.

It can be roughly divided into five types: calling type, native type, plant change type, animal change type and clay sculpture type. The ancestral myths of all ethnic groups are quite rich, some of which are quite similar, but of course there are many differences. Some of these myths are very interesting and some coincide with the theory of evolution.
