Myths of Kunlun Mountain 1 — Pangu breaking the sky

Kunlun mythology is one of the two major myths in the world, which is as famous as the Greek mythology. Kunlun mythology mainly records the important process from the birth to the development of human beings. It has a history of 3.6 million years. Its emergence and spread are synchronous with the survival and development of the Chinese nation.

A long time ago, the sky and the earth were not separated, and the universe was in chaos. There was a giant named Pangu who has been sleeping for 18000 years in this chaotic universe.

One day, Pangu suddenly woke up. When he saw that there was black lacquer around him, he swung his axe and slashed at the darkness in front of him. With a loud noise, a piece of dark things gradually dispersed. Things that rise slowly become the sky; things that fall slowly become the ground.

After the separation of sky and ground, Pangu was afraid that they would still be together, with the sky overhead and the feet on the ground. The sky rises one feet every day, Pangu grows higher and higher as the sky grows. In this way, many years later, the sky and the earth gradually formed, but Pangu was tired and fell down.

After Pangu fell, his body changed greatly. His breath has become the wind and clouds of the four seasons; his voice has become the rumbling thunder; his eyes have become the sun and the moon; his limbs have become the East, West, South and north poles of the earth; his skin has become the vast land; his blood has become a running river; his sweat has become the rain and dew that moistens all things

This is a typical story of heroism.

This is also a story of sadness.
