The God who created the world in ancient legends of China. Fang Shuo Wen Jie Zi said that Pangu turned into everything in the world. There are similar records in the Chronicle of the Five Movements in the ancient novel "Goushen" series (the age of the book is unknown, or the cloud is also written) and "Xuanzhongji".
[Edit this paragraph] Second, fairy tales
Legend has it that before the creation of heaven and earth, there was something that I didn't know what it was. It is called Di Jiang (some people call him Chaos). It looks like a pocket without a hole. It has two good friends, one is Shu and the other is Hu. One day, Shu and Hu suddenly discussed how to drill seven holes and agreed. Shu He suddenly spent seven days digging seven holes, but he died.
After Di Jiang died, a man named Pangu appeared in his belly. The essence of Di Jiang became the later Yellow Emperor.
Pangu slept in this "big pocket" for about 18000 years, and then he woke up and found it was dark around. When he opened his sleepy eyes, there was nothing but darkness. He tried to stretch his muscles, but the "egg" wrapped him tightly, and he felt so hot that he could hardly breathe. Oh, my God, this fucking place!
Pangu couldn't imagine that he could endure humiliation and live in such an environment. He flew into a rage, so he pulled out a tooth, turned it into a powerful axe, swung it and chopped it hard.
"Hua ..." After a loud noise, the "egg" emits a fresh gas, which rises to a high place and turns into the sky; Other turbid things slowly sink and become the earth. Since then, the chaotic universe has changed into heaven and earth, and it is no longer dark. People only feel refreshed when they are in it.
Pangu statue
Pangu still didn't give up and continued to cast spells. I don't know how many years have passed, and finally the sky can't be higher and the ground can't be thicker.
By this time, Pangu had exhausted all his strength. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the world he had created.
Ah! It's great to create such a brand new world! From then on, everything between heaven and earth will never live in darkness again.
Pangu took a long breath, slowly lay on the ground, closed his heavy eyelids and died.
The great hero died, but his body did not disappear;
Before Pangu died, the breath in his mouth turned into spring breeze and clouds in the sky; The sound turned into thunder in the sky; Pangu's left eye became the sun, shining on the earth; The right eye becomes a bright moon, bringing light to the night; Thousands of strands of hair turn into stars, embellishing the beautiful night sky; Blood turns into rivers, lakes and seas, running endlessly; Muscles become a thousand miles of fields where everything lives; Bones become trees and flowers for people to enjoy; Ribs become roads; Teeth turn into stones and metals for people to use; The essence becomes a bright pearl for people to collect; Sweat turns into rain and dew, nourishing seedlings; When Pangu fell, his head became Mount Tai in Dongyue (Shandong), his feet became Huashan in Xiyue (Shaanxi), his left arm became Mount Heng in Nanyue (Hunan), his right arm became Mount Heng in Beiyue (Shanxi) and his abdomen became Mount Song in Zhongyue (Henan). Legend has it that Pangu's soul became a man after his death. Therefore, man is the spirit of all things in the world.
At present, there is also an online novel called Pangu Tiankai, written by Zhan Long.
[Edit this paragraph] III. Historical record set
The world is a mess, 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 a number, stand at three, become five, become seven, become nine, so the day went to Wan Li.
"Literature and Art Collection" quoted "The Year of the Five Games"
The weather is fine, the bud begins, and then the sky and the earth are divided, and the yin and yang are exposed and the vitality is distributed. It is pregnant, neutral and human. Born Pangu, dying incarnation; Qi became a cloud, sound became thunder, left eye became the sun, right eye became the moon, five limbs became four poles and five mountains, blood became a river, tendons became the ground, tendons became soil, hair became a star, moss became vegetation, teeth became stones, refined jade, sweat became rain, and insects in the body became Li Meng due to weathering.
"Yi Shi" quoted "The Year of the Five Games"
The king of Pangu, the snake with the dragon head, hissed as wind and rain, blew as lightning, opened his eyes during the day and closed his eyes at night. After death, the joints are mountains, and as rivers and seas, blood is blasphemy and hair is vegetation.
Guangwu Bozhi (Jiuxing) Five-year Games Chronology
Yesterday's death of Pangu was also the first of the four mountains, the eye of the sun and the moon, the fat of the river and the sea, and the hair of the grass. According to the custom between Qin and Han dynasties, Pangu's head is Dongyue, the abdomen is Zhongyue, the left arm is Nanyue, and the right arm is Beiyue, and Xiyue is enough. The ancients said: Pangu's tears are rivers, qi is wind, and his eyes are electricity. The ancients said: Pangu's joy is yang, and anger is yin. Wu Chu said: Pangu couple, the beginning of Yin and Yang. Today, there is a 300-mile-long ancient tomb in the South China Sea, and the soul of Pangu is also buried by later generations. Guilin has Pangu Temple worshipped by modern people, and the South China Sea has Pangu Kingdom. Today, people take Pangu as their surname. Pangu, the ancestor of all things, creatures began in Pangu.
On the Volume of Yi Shu Ji
Yuan, this is also. Beginning, beginning, innate qi. This gasification is the man who created the world, that is, Pangu; Became the ancestor who presided over the heaven; This is the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty.
Selected from the first volume of calendar fairy mirror.
As soon as Pangu stretched out, the sky was high and the ground collapsed. And heaven and earth are more connected, with a chisel in his left hand and an axe in his right, or chopping or chiseling with an axe. It is divine power, and heaven and earth are divided for a long time. Two qi rise and fall, the clear is the sky, the turbid is the ground, and chaos.
Ming people traveled around to "open the border and penetrate the soil"
Heaven and earth together ... like a big watermelon, it closes round and round, including everything. 10,800 years, everything has been dissolved in it. Only Jin Mu, fire, water and soil are mixed in it, hard as melon seeds and soft as melon pulp. There are five colors in it: green, yellow, red, white and black, which are also soluble. It's been closed for a long time. If you can't open it, get a Pangu, a left-handed chisel and a right-handed axe, just like cutting a melon in half. The first half gradually rises to the sky, including green, yellow, red, white and black, which is a five-color auspicious cloud; The lower part is gradually lowered to the ground. It also contains green, yellow, red, white and black, which is a five-color stone mud. Hard to take it to the sky, people regard it as a star, and the underground is a stone. Stars and stones are always the same thing. If you don't believe me, there are stars falling to the ground today, and people are digging to see them, just like underground stones. However, there are springs in the world, and springs have nowhere to accumulate. They flow to the world and pour into the sea.

Heaven gives birth to a great sage. Yue Hundun's family, Pangu's family, was also the family of the first emperor. The dragon head changes nine times a day, and it is Jiazi at the age of eighteen thousand. Jing Hunan's birthday is 10 16. And the early secular monarch, the family of the first emperor.
"Ancient and modern book integration, old classics" Volume 83 cited "Supplementary Development")
The so-called Pangu people, immortals, change nine times a day. Tao Rong was also a master of nature when the Beggars began to mix. "Six Towers of Daming" says: "Say to King Wen:' Heaven is pure and bright, morality is healthy, and people are safe. If you don't forget, it's bad luck for you to forget. Pangu Sect can't move, if it moves, it will be fierce. ""Today there is Pangu Mountain in Huichang, Jiangxi, and this plate has a solid name. There is Pangu treasure in Xiangxiang and Pangu Temple in Youyu, which is called Pangu. According to the "Geographical Kunjian" cloud: "The leader is a person." Now there are temples in Chengdu, Huai 'an and Jingzhao. There are Xú Zhēng's Thirty-Five Calendars and Hu Danji. To the Tang Dynasty, Yuan Tiangang deduced the book "True Source Fu", saying that Yuan began to respond to the world, and 18,000 years was Jiazi. Jingxiangbei today takes 10 16 as Pangu's birthday, because the moon is dark. "Yuanfeng Nine Domains": "There are ancient tombs and temples in Guangling", which is almost false. The temples in Chengdu have the eyes of Pangu Saburo, which is very vulgar.
Luo Ping's Notes on the History of the Road
Yesterday, the two gases did not separate, and the moth was in the HarmonyOS system, but it did not form. In the final analysis, heaven and earth are chicken-shaped, chaotic and mysterious. Pangu is a real person, and the essence of heaven and earth has been swimming in it since the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty. After the four robberies, the shape of the sky is like a huge cover, with nothing above and nothing below. Beyond heaven and earth, there is no sound, no vitality, no water-like shape, no mountains, no stars on it, the accumulated gas is firm and powerful, and the world floats in it. Without this spirit, heaven and earth would not have been born. The sky is like a dragon, turning back to the clouds. After the four robberies, the second instrument began to divide, with a distance of 36,000 miles. The cliff stone bleeds into the water, and the aquatic protozoa drawn from the shore only need to be born, just need to be born with dragons. At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the heavenly king was named Yujingshan, and the palace in the mountain was decorated with gold and jade. He often sucks the weather and drinks underground spring water. After two robberies, he suddenly gave birth to a jade girl in Taiyuan, covered in blood in a stone flow. He speaks in language, full of human form and has a wonderful natural appearance. Swimming in the thick land, sucking up the weather, the Virgin of Taiyuan, posthumous title, sees the downstream of Yuan Shijun, and it is well ventilated. At this time, the two qi are full, the yin and yang are harmonious, there is no heat or cold, the sky is high and the air is clear, the ground is flat and the air is harmonious, no longer breathing, and the propaganda and qi are combined, naturally complementing each other and giving full play. So much for the prosperity of the avenue. It is solid and immortal. Jin Yuzhu is the essence of heaven and earth. The ability to serve is in harmony with heaven and earth.
[Edit this paragraph] 4. Pangu's epoch-making song
The myth about Pangu was first widely circulated among the minorities in southern China. Miao and Yao have always worshipped Pangu and regarded Pangu as their ancestors. Zhuang, Dong, Mulao and other ethnic groups also spread Pangu widely, and regarded Pangu as the human ancestor who created the world. "Today, the Pangu family has more than three hundred miles in the South China Sea, and the soul of the Pangu family has also been buried by future generations. There is Pangu Temple in Guilin, and people want to worship it today. As early as the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Zhuang's ancestors had the "graveyard" of Pangu soul in Hainan. Especially in Guilin at that time (where the Zhuang people lived in compact communities). Governance is located in the southeast of Liuzhou today), there is Pangu Temple, and people are "willing to worship". It can be seen that Pangu is also a highly respected image in the minds of ancient Zhuang people.
There is a myth to the effect that at first heaven and earth were chaotic like a big egg, with Pangu in the middle. Later, the big egg broke and heaven and earth formed. The sun, the moon, rivers, clouds, vegetation and so on. It is the body differentiation after Pangu's death: "Qi is the cloud, sound is the thunder, the left eye is the eye, the right eye is the moon, the five limbs are the four poles and five prisons, the blood is the river, the tendons are the ground, the muscles are the earth, the hair is the star, the fur is the vegetation, the teeth are the stone, the essence is the jade, the sweat is the rain, and the body is all kinds."
This statement is also recorded in ancient books and documents. For example, The Death of Pangu in the Past. The head is four mountains, the eyes are the sun and the moon, the fat is the river and the sea, and the hair is the vegetation. In western Guangxi, there is still a folk song Pangu Begins the Creation:
Pangu opened heaven and earth,
Build a hillside river,
Rowing to a mainland to live,
Build sea and store water.
Pangu opened heaven and earth,
Divided into mountains and plains,
Open up three roads,
There are roads everywhere.
Pangu opened heaven and earth,
Create the sun, moon and stars,
Because of Pangu,
Only people can get the light.

[Edit this paragraph] Pan-continent
Refers to the continent opened by Pangu.
Pangaea or Pangaea, also known as "supercontinent" and "Pangea", was originally written in Greek as ∏ α γ α? Alpha means "the whole earth". Pangu continent refers to a large piece of land formed from Paleozoic to Mesozoic. This name was put forward by Alfred Wegener, a German geologist who put forward the theory of continental drift.
At present, there are seven continents on earth. Earlier, 650 million years ago, it was equivalent to the Ediacaran period (Sinian period) in the geological age. This continent began to split up after 100 million years. During the Devonian period, due to the collision between continents, the land on the earth was reconnected about 245 million years ago, which was equivalent to the Triassic in the geological age. Scientists call it Pangea. Pangu continent has experienced three stages of division, forming the distribution of the present continent.
The first stage:1.800 million years ago, in the middle of Jurassic.
The second stage: North America was pushed to the northwest due to igneous activities on the east coast of North America, the northwest coast of Africa and the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
The third stage: the separation of South America and North America, the formation of volcanic activities in the Gulf of Mexico, Antarctica and Madagascar, and the gradual formation of the Western Indian Ocean.
Because of the continuous plate movement, geologists predict that the mainland will once again form a supercontinent, which is called the Ultima Pangea, and it is predicted that it will form in 250 million years.
Pangu created the world.
(Shan Hai Jing Tu)
The world is like a chicken. Pangu was born in it. Eight thousand years old. Heaven and earth opened. Yang Qing is the sky. Cloudy is the ground. Pangu is among them. Nine changes a day. God is in heaven. Holy land. The sky is ten feet high. The earth is ten feet thick every day. Pangu grows ten feet a day. So 8,000 years. The sky is extremely high. The land is extremely deep. Pangu is extremely long. So I went to Wan Li that day. Then Huang San.
Mr. Pangu. The embodiment of dying. Qi turned into a storm. The sound is like thunder. The left eye is the sun. The right eye is the moon. Five limbs are four poles and five mountains. Blood is a river. Tendons are underground. Muscles are dirt. Hair is like a star. Skin is a plant. Tooth bones are stones. The essence is pearl jade. Sweat turned into rain. Insects in the body. Feel the wind. Become Li Wei.
-Xú Zhēng's "May 3rd Calendar" and "May 5th Calendar Era"
In ancient times, there was no sky and no land, and there was chaos and darkness everywhere, but after 18 thousand years in this darkness, a god with infinite power was born. His name was Pangu.
When Pangu woke up and opened his eyes, he couldn't see anything, so he picked up a magic axe, shouted and slammed around. Everything that is light and clear floats upward, forming a sky, while things that are heavy and turbid sink downward, forming a land. Pangu stood in the middle of heaven and earth so as not to let them overlap. Every day, the land is getting taller and thicker, and Pangu is getting taller and taller. In this way, after another 18 thousand years, the sky became extremely high and the ground became extremely thick, but Pangu was tired and never got up again.
Pangu's head turned into a mountain, his limbs into pillars of the sky, his eyes into the sun and the moon, his blood into a river, his hair and skin into flowers and plants, his breath into the wind, his cries into thunder, his tears into showers and rain to nourish the earth.
Pangu created heaven and earth, dedicated everything to heaven and earth, made the world rich and colorful, and Pangu became the greatest god.
* * * Gong Yan is a descendant of the emperor. According to "Shan Hai Jing Hai Nei Jing": "The wife of Emperor Yan, the son of Chishui, gave birth to Yanju, and Yanju gave birth to festivals and festivals. The drama was born in Zhu Rong, and Zhu Rong fell into the river to work. " Song Lomi's "History of the Road II" quoted "Open the Door in Tibet": "* * * face snakes, all methods." According to legend, * * * is a water god. Seventeen Years of Zuo Zhao Zhuan Gong: "* * * Gong's family was named after its water control." Guan: "Wang * * does things, water is the seventh, land is the third, and uses the natural situation to control her husband." "Huainanzi Ben Jing Xun": "When times are good, workers shake the flood and leave the mulberry trees empty. "The author of the most myth of workers is the war between workers and Zhuan Xu." "Huainanzi Astronomical Training": "In the past, * * * workers and Zhuan Xu fought for the emperor, and they were angry and touched it, not thinking about mountains. Tianzhu is broken, the earth is absolutely broken, the sky leans to the northwest, and the sun, the moon and the stars move; The land is not satisfied with the southeast, and the water and dust return. "Zhuan Xu, descendants of the Yellow Emperor (Shan Hai Jing Hai Nei Jing). Therefore, the war is actually a continuation of the Huangyan War. This war may be spread as * * * and Gao Xin ("Huainanzi Original Road"); With Shennong (Jade Carving Collection Lizhuang); And Zhu Rong (Supplementary Biography of Historical Records and Huang San); Debate with Nu Wa (History of Wu Ji of Lu Tai). Other legends, such as Yu chasing * * * workers and killing Xiang Liu, minister of * * * workers, say that Yu is a systematic figure of the Yellow Emperor and the aftermath of the Huangyan War. Today, the "Goddess of Mending Heaven" circulating in Qixian County of Henan Province is called * * * Gong and Zhu Rong, and Nu Wa and the coffin are brother and sister. * * * workers and Zhu Rong had a dispute over eating swan eggs, but * * * workers couldn't reach Zhoushan, and the sky were to fall and the waters were to flood. Nu Wa has a method of mending the sky, which looks primitive. See "worrying about the sky".
Zhu Rong and * * * war "Notes on Historical Records Huang San": "The princes have the title of * * *, and the intellectual punishment is the overlord; Take water as wood and fight Zhu Rong. I am angry at a loss, but I can't touch the landslides, the broken Tianzhu and the lack of land. "This battle is said to be a battle between Zhuan Xu, Shennong, Nuwa, Gao Xin and * * * *.

Zhu Rong and * * * war "Notes on Historical Records Huang San": "The princes have the title of * * *, and the intellectual punishment is the overlord; Take water as wood and fight Zhu Rong. I am angry at a loss, but I can't touch the landslides, the broken Tianzhu and the lack of land. "This battle is said to be a battle between Zhuan Xu, Shennong, Nuwa, Gao Xin and * * * *.
"On Mandarin and Lu" contains: * * There are nine workers. Bo Jiuyou is also the overlord of Kyushu. In fact, it means that Gong was once the "overlord" of Kyushu, that is, a leader of the Central Plains tribal alliance. This reflects that the nine ethnic groups live in nine places, among which Gong's family occupies the primary position. Xu said that Gong lived in Huixian County, Henan Province today. Guo Moruo said: * * Gong has been active for a long time in Yishui and Luoshui basins in western Henan. This place, called Kyushu in ancient times, probably originated from the Gong family of nine. Later, in the mountains to the west, Dijon of Kyushu appeared, which is probably a continuation of the rest of Gong Shi.
The most author of the myth of * * * workers is the war between * * * workers and Zhuan Xu. "Huainanzi Astronomical Training": "In the past, workers and Zhuan Xu fought for the emperor, but they were angry and touched it, not thinking about the mountains. Tianzhu is broken, the earth is absolutely broken, the sky leans to the northwest, and the sun, the moon and the stars move; The land is dissatisfied with the southeast, and the water and dust return. " Zhuan Xu, a descendant of the Yellow Emperor (Shan Hai Jing Hai Nei Jing). This war may be spread as * * * and Gao Xin ("Huainanzi Original Road"); With Shennong (Jade Carving Collection Lizhuang); And Zhu Rong (Supplementary Biography of Historical Records and Huang San); Debate with Nu Wa (History of Wu Ji of Lu Tai). There are also legends, such as Yu chasing * * * workers and killing Xiang Liu, the minister of * * * workers.
For the record of the battle between Zhu Rong and * * * workers, "Supplementary Note of Historical Records Huang San": "The princes have * * * workers, and the intellectual punishment is the overlord; Take water as wood and fight Zhu Rong. I am at a loss, but I am angry, but I can't touch the landslides and cracks, and the Tianzhu is broken. " This battle is also said to be a battle between Zhuan Xu, Shennong, Nu Wa, Gao Xin and * * * *.
* * * Workers are descendants of Shennong in ancient legend and belong to Yan Di family. As a water god, workers work on faces, hands, feet and snakes. Zhuan Xu, the successor of the Yellow Emperor, rebelled in the era of world domination and was defeated by Zhuan Xu. The workers got angry and failed to hit their heads on Zhoushan (the legendary pillar supporting the world), causing the world to tilt to the southeast. After that, the workers continued to make trouble (representing the flood outbreak) and were finally killed by Yu (referring to the success of water control).
