Extended data:
Ancient myths in China originated from the primitive society where human beings tried to reasonably explain various natural phenomena through reasoning and imagination. However, due to the low level of understanding at that time, they were often shrouded in a mysterious color.
On the other hand, ancient myths are also the epitome of ancient society. Most of the characters in mythology come from the images of primitive humans, and the tribes with developed hunting are mostly related to hunting. Most of the myths created by tribes with developed farming are related to agriculture.
In primitive society, people rely on their narrow life experience to create personalized images of gods through imagination and fantasy, and create stories of gods according to their naive thinking to explain natural phenomena and conquer and dominate natural forces. These stories were widely circulated in the mouth of ancient people, and later people called them myths.
