The Myth of Pan Gu (Part 1)
June 16, 2007
In the past 5000 years of Chinese history, there have been many interesting myths. Many of them were recorded by hand. As for the myths from the very ancient times, there are no written versions; they have traveled orally, making their way around these years.
For example, where do the ancestors of people come from? In the ancient times, there was a tale about Pan Gu creating the world. It is said that before Pan Gu came, the world was in chaos; there was no light, no sound, and everything was a big, chaotic mess. At that moment, a man named Pan Gu appeared, and using a big axe, he sliced through the air, separating the big mess. The lighter portion of the mess floated up, becoming the sky, and the heavier portion of the mess sunk down, becoming the earth.
