When did Pangu come? Who was in front and who was behind?

Pangu is a mythical figure. Everything about Pangu has been handed down orally by people. It was not until the Three Kingdoms period that Xu Zheng, a scholar of the State of Wu, sorted out and recorded Pangu, which had been handed down. There is no historical basis, so Pangu is not a figure of a certain era. Only exists in China myths and legends.

Legend of Pangu

Many, many years ago, heaven and earth were inseparable, and the scene of the universe was just a mess. Pangu, the great god of heaven, was born in this chaos. He was conceived, grew up and slept in chaos for eighteen thousand years.

One day, when I opened my eyes, he suddenly woke up and I couldn't see anything. It's just a blur, so boring that I'm flustered. He found this kind of situation very annoying. When he was angry, he didn't know where to grab a big axe, so he waved to the chaos in front of him, and only heard a loud bang, and the chaos suddenly burst.

Some are light and clear, and gradually rise all day; In addition, some heavy and turbid things fall heavily and become the ground. -when it was troubled times, it was Pangu's axe.

He stood there alone and did another 18 thousand years of very hard work. Later, the structure of heaven and earth seems to have gradually taken shape. He doesn't have to worry that they will be closed. He really needed a rest and finally fell down.

At this time, his whole body suddenly changed greatly: the breath from his mouth became wind and clouds, his left eye became the sun, his right eye became the moon, his limbs and body became the four poles and five mountains of the earth, his blood became rivers, his tendons became roads and his muscles became fields.

His hair became stars in the sky, his hair became flowers and trees, his teeth, bones, bone marrow and so on. It has also become shiny metal, hard stone and warm Baoyu, and even the sweat from the most useless body has become dew and showers.

Another Pangu legend

On the banks of Qinyang River in Henan Province, Pangu and his sister lived together since childhood. They were kind and warm-hearted, which was very different from most selfish and vicious people at that time. Emperor Tiandi was very angry with others and wanted to rebuild the world, but thinking that it would be troublesome to rebuild people if they were all destroyed, he sent Taibai Venus to the lower bound to see, leaving a few qualified people and finding Pangu brothers and sisters.

Their brother and sister often go up the mountain to cut wood. They passed a Taoist temple. There is a huge stone lion outside the Taoist temple, and people can walk in directly. On this day, they passed by here again, and suddenly the door of the ruined temple was opened, and an old monk in rags and haggard walked up.

He told them that he hadn't eaten for a long time and that the little monk had gone out. He is the only person left in the ruined temple. Now he is too old to walk and has no food. Can you ask them to give two steamed buns every day? Brother Pangu kindly agreed.

The Taoist priest said, in order not to delay your chopping wood, put the steamed bread in the stone lion. As they pass by every day, they will put two steamed buns, dig wild vegetables and collect wild fruits every day to satisfy their stomachs. So after 998 1 day, when they put down their steamed bread and were ready to leave.

The door of the Taoist temple opened again, and the old Taoist priest came out again. This time, he told them that there would be great disaster in heaven and earth. When you see the eyes of the stone lion turn red one day, you can hide in the stone lion and not come out at once, so you can avoid a difficulty.

Say that finish, not a breeze. When they saw it, they knew that they had met the man of God, and naturally took it to heart. One day, they cut wood and walked down the hill. Suddenly, the clouds changed color, thunder and lightning, and dark clouds covered the sky. When they saw this, they thought there were still many village names in the village, so they hurried down the mountain to tell them. They never thought that they felt sick and saw the roar of the sky getting louder and louder.

Pangu and his sister hurried to the Taoist temple, walked into the mouth of the stone lion, and walked into the belly of the stone lion, only to find that the space was as big as a house, and there were two piles of steamed buns on the ground. Suddenly, they heard the loud noise of the sky falling, and they fainted. When they woke up, they found that people were already in the air and the world was gone. There is a jade unicorn and a cloud beside it. At this moment, Yu Qilin spoke.

He said that he was the mount on which the Emperor of Heaven sat. Because drinking delayed the jade emperor's banquet for the queen mother, he was sent to make amends next time. What does he want to do because he can't see the Emperor of Heaven? He also returned to Yundui Palace with Jade Kirin, and the Jade Emperor gave him a blue handkerchief.

After Pangu, they got the Ruyi Pearl, and then they redrawn the heavens and the earth. As for other flowers, trees, mountains, birds and animals in the world, etc. Using the five-color fragments given by the jade emperor.
