What are the ancient myths in China? What are their contents?

Ancient myths in China include Pangu Tiankai, Goddess of mending the sky, Jingwei's reclamation, Kuafu's pursuit of the sun, the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon and so on.

Pangu Tiankai: In ancient times, there was a huge star floating in space, shaped like an egg. Just inside the superstar, there is a giant named Pangu who has been digging with his axe in an attempt to save himself from the siege. After 18,000 years of hard work, Pangu swung his last axe, only to hear a loud noise, and the superstar split in two. Half of the superstars on Pangu's head turned into gas and kept rising; Half of the superstars at the foot turned into the earth, which became thicker and thicker, and the universe began to have heaven and earth. The sky is one foot high and ten feet high, and Pangu grows bigger and bigger, becoming a hero of "indomitable spirit".

Goddess of mending heaven: It is said that at the beginning of the creation, Nu Wa pinched people with mud. After Nu Wa ascended the throne, the water god guarding Hebei was very dissatisfied, so he made waves and even let Zhu Rong, the god of fire, play. After a life-and-death struggle, * * * was defeated and became angry from embarrassment. He crashed into Optimus Prime, broke the huge column, and suddenly a big hole collapsed in the sky. Heaven and earth are connected, pulse gas is abnormal, fire and water spread, and everything is in disaster.

Seeing that her children are about to lose their living conditions, Nu Wa is extremely anxious and determined to mend the sky by refining stones. Where can I forge stones? Nu Wa traveled all over Shan Ye and chose Tiantai Mountain. Here, the mountains are high and the roads are wide, and there are abundant water and stones, which is an ideal place for refining stones.

Nu Wa spent 998 1 day on Tiantai Mountain, refining a five-color boulder with a thickness of 12 feet and a width of 24 feet, which was called good by the gods. So according to this method, it took another four years to refine 36,500 pieces of five-color stone, plus the previous piece of * * * 3650 1. The immortal and the general used 36,500 yuan to help the goddess mend the sky. Because stones are colored, they form rainbows and rosy clouds in the sky.

Jingwei fills the sea: According to legend, Jingwei was originally the youngest daughter of Yandi Shennong, named Nuwa. One day, the girl visited the East China Sea and drowned. After his death, his uneven spirit became a bird with a flower head, a white shell and red claws. Every day, he brought stones and plants from the mountains and threw them into the East China Sea, and then let out a cry of "Jingwei, Jingwei", as if calling himself.

Daily Kuafu: It's from Shan Hai Jing, an ancient wonderful book in China. It is said that in the era of the Yellow Emperor, the leader of the Kuafu clan wanted to take off the sun, so he began to race with the sun day after day. I was thirsty to drink the Weihe River of the Yellow River and died of thirst on the way to osawa. My cane turned into a peach grove and my body turned into a Kuafu. Kuafu's daily stories reflect the desire of ancient China ancestors to understand and conquer nature.

Goddess the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon: It tells the story that Chang 'e was forced to take two elixirs given by the Queen Mother of the West to her husband Hou Yi, and then flew to the Moon Palace.
