The story of Pangu's creation of heaven and earth

Legend has it that the world was not formed before Nu Wa created human beings. It was a giant named Pangu who split the world with an axe. The following is my collection of stories about Pangu's creation. Welcome to share.

The story of Pangu's creation 1 Long, long ago, the universe was chaotic. There was a giant named Pangu who slept in this chaos for 108 thousand years. One day, Pangu suddenly woke up. When he saw the darkness around him, he waved a big axe and cut at the darkness in front of him. There was only a loud noise, and the chaotic things gradually separated. Bright and clear things slowly rise and become the sky. Heavy and muddy things, slowly falling, became the ground. After the separation of heaven and earth, Pangu feared that they would meet again. It's just that the head is in the sky and the feet are on the ground, which changes with them. The sky rises ten feet every day and the ground sinks ten feet every day. Pangu grows taller and taller. I don't know how many years have passed, and heaven and earth have gradually taken shape. Pangu was also exhausted. Great changes have taken place in Pangu's body after his fall. The breath he exhaled became the wind of the four seasons and became a cloud; The sound he made turned into rumbling thunder; His eyes became the sun and the moon; His limbs become the east, west, south and north poles of the earth; His skin became a vast land, his blood became a running river, and his hair became lush flowers and trees; His sweat turned into rain and dew, which moistened everything. Pangu, the ancestor of mankind, created a beautiful universe with his whole body.

The story of Pangu's creation 2 The universe that can be seen now is full of great gods, and most of them are unique and supreme male gods. This alone proves that, on the whole, the myth of creation came into being late, the legend of matriarchal clan is less, and the legend of paternal clan is dominant. The most famous god of creation preserved in ancient times is Pangu. According to ancient records, at first, the world was in chaos, like a big egg, in which Pangu was born. After 18,000 years, heaven and earth have been divided, sunny things have risen to the sky (there is a saying that egg whites have risen to the sky), and cloudy things have sunk to the ground (there is a saying that egg yolk is the earth). In the middle of heaven and earth, Pangu changed nine times a day ("nine" is an imaginary number, which means more), and his magic surpassed the sky and his ability surpassed the earth. The sky is one foot high, the earth is ten feet thick, and Pangu is one foot. Eighteen thousand years later, the sky is already high, the land is already thick, and Pangu is also very long. When Pangu died, his head became four mountains and his eyes became the sun and the moon. The blood paste on my body turned into rivers and seas, and the hair and hair on my body turned into vegetation. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, it was said that the head of Pangu was Dongyue, the belly was Zhongyue, the left arm was Nanyue, the right arm was Beiyue and the foot was Xiyue. Ancestors said that Pangu cried into a river, and his breath was wind, his voice was thunder and his eyes were electricity. He added that it is sunny when you are happy and cloudy when you are angry. Others say that his teeth and bones have become metals and stones, his essence has become pearls and jade, and his sweat is the rain that moistens the earth. All kinds of worms parasitic on him became people on the earth because they felt the wind blowing. In short, the universe is Pangu, and Pangu is the universe. Pangu is also a giant as long as heaven and earth.

This kind of imagination of primitive people is absurd to people today. If you think about it carefully, it still makes sense. First of all, primitive people have a strong overall concept and regard the universe as a huge whole. Subjectively, they think that this big whole should be like a human being, with complete limbs, flexible facial features, joys and sorrows. After humanization of nature, they further imagined the whole space as a huge god-a giant. Secondly, primitive people compared this thing with another thing, not just casually, but generally had some similarities. Therefore, bright eyes can turn into the sun and the moon, happiness is sunny and anger is cloudy. Thirdly, such a profound problem must be based on the corresponding developed ideology, so the creation of the universe can't be early anyway. Pangu is usually regarded as a male god, which shows that it is at least the work of a patriarchal society.

The Story of Pangu Opening Heaven and Earth 3 1 The Story of Pangu Opening Heaven and Earth

Legend has it that in ancient times, the universe was like a big egg, regardless of heaven and earth. It's a mess, it's dark, and you can't tell up and down, left and right, southeast and northwest. But there is a great hero in the egg, and this is Pangu, who started the world. Pangu was conceived in an egg for 18 thousand years and finally woke up from a deep sleep. When he opened his eyes, he only felt dark and sultry, and he could hardly breathe. He wanted to stand up, but the eggshell wrapped his body so tightly that he couldn't even stretch out his hands and feet. Pangu was furious and grabbed a natural axe. With a wave of his hand, he heard a loud noise, which was deafening. The big egg suddenly broke, and the light and clear things in it kept rising upward and became the sky, while other heavy and turbid things gradually sank and became the earth.

Pangu was very happy to open the heavens and the earth, but he was afraid that the heavens and the earth would close again. He held the sky with his head, stood on the ground with his feet, and exerted his magical powers, changing nine times a day. He grows ten feet every day, ten feet in the sky and ten feet in the ground. Eighteen thousand years passed like this. Pangu has now become a giant with indomitable spirit, with a length of nine Wan Li. In this way, I don't know how many thousands of years have passed, and finally the sky is firmly fixed and will not be reunited. At this time, Pangu was relieved. But this epoch-making hero is exhausted and has no strength to support himself. His huge body collapsed.

When Pangu died, great changes took place in his whole body. His left eye turned into a bright red sun, his right eye into a silver moon, his last breath into wind and clouds, and finally his voice into thunder, his hair and beard into twinkling stars, his head and hands and feet into the four poles and mountains of the earth, his blood into rivers and lakes, his muscles into fertile land, his skin and hair into flowers and trees, his teeth and bones into treasures of gold, silver, copper, iron and jade, and his sweat into. From then on, there was a world.

After reading the story of Pangu's creation.

In modern society, many people, like Pangu, would rather give up their lives in order to ensure the safety of others. For example, the Sichuan earthquake and the Ya 'an earthquake all caused buildings to collapse. The teacher who was teaching for the safety of students, regardless of his own safety, in order to help students evacuate quickly and safely, only he fell down. We are deeply aware that many people don't always put themselves first, but have love and broad minds. But these people deserve our respect and study.

Pangu, also known as Pangu and Chaos. China is the legendary creator of the world. The record of Pangu's opening the sky was first seen in the Three Kingdoms period. Wu [1] wrote: "Heaven and earth are chaotic like chickens, and Pangu was born in it. Eight thousand years old, heaven and earth open, sunny for the sky, cloudy for the ground. Pangu is among them, changing nine times a day. God is in heaven and saint is on earth. The sky is ten feet high, the earth is ten feet thick and Pangu is ten feet, so it is eight thousand years old. The number of days is extremely high, the number of places is extremely deep, and Pangu is extremely long. Then Huang San. From one count to three, to five, to seven, to nine, so I went to Wan Li. " Later, Ren Fang of Liang Xiao in the Southern Dynasties wrote "Records of Foreign Objects", saying that Pangu was transformed into everything in the world. There are similar records in Xuan Zhong Ji, the five-year series and the ancient novel Gou Shen. Zhang Si in Mingdong quoted the story of the five-element calendar in Guangbo: "The king of Pangu, the dragon head is a snake, hissing as wind and rain, blowing as lightning, opening his eyes for the day and closing his eyes for the night. After death, the joints are mountains, and as rivers and seas, blood is blasphemy and hair is vegetation. " The book Shuo Wen Jie Zi records: "There is an ancient tomb in the South China Sea today, which spans more than 300 miles. The common cloud of later generations buried Pangu's soul. There is Pangu in the South China Sea, and today people take Pangu as their surname. " According to textual research, Pangu Tomb is located in Laibin City, Guangxi.

A long time ago, the universe was chaotic before it was formed, like a round egg. Pangu, the ancestor of mankind, was born in the middle of the egg. Pangu was bred in it for 18 thousand years and finally broke out like a mature chicken. He swung his axe and split the chaotic world in two at once: light and bright things turned into boundless sky, and heavy and turbid things turned into boundless earth. Pan Gu was afraid that they would meet again, so he held his head high to the sky and kept his feet on the ground. The sky rises ten feet every day, and the earth sinks ten feet every day. Pangu grew taller and taller. Eighteen thousand years later, Pangu has grown into a tall and incomparable hero.

After Pangu created the world, he was the only one in the world. Sometimes he is happy, sometimes he is angry, sometimes he cries and sometimes he sighs. Heaven and earth also change with his joys and sorrows: when he is happy, the sky is clear; When angry, the sky is gloomy; When you cry, your tears are torrential rain, and finally merge into rivers, lakes and seas; When you sigh, the breath in your mouth becomes a gust of wind. In the blink of an eye, there was a flash of lightning in the sky, and his snoring in his sleep was thunder rumbling in the air.

Pangu lived for a long time, but eventually he died. Great changes have taken place in his health since he fell. His eyes became the sun and the moon; His sweat turned into rain and dew, nourishing everything; His hair turned into flowers and trees on the earth; His head is raised high, that is, Mount Tai in Dongyue, which is now in full swing, and his toes are facing the sky, that is, Mount Huashan in Xiyue, where the peaks stand upright; The belly is high, which is now the beautiful Zhongyue Songshan; The left arm is now Mount Hengshan, a mountainous mountain in Nanyue. The right arm is Mount Hengshan in Beiyue, and it's very sunny now.

This is Pangu, the ancestor of mankind, who created a beautiful universe with his own body.
