In ancient Chinese mythology, the universe began as a chaotic egg-like mass. Inside this egg, Pangu was born and eventually awakened from a long slumber. Realizing the surrounding darkness, he took up a mighty axe and cleaved the chaos apart, allowing light and air to burst forth, thus forming heaven and earth.
Standing between the two, Pangu breathed deeply, and as he did, the sky expanded. To protect this newly created world, he toiled day and night, exhausting his strength until he finally collapsed. His last breath became the wind, his voice turned into thunder, his left eye transformed into the sun, and his right eye became the moon. His limbs became mountains, his blood flowed into rivers, his skin formed the earth, his hair grew into forests, and his bones turned into minerals.
Pangu’s heroic act of creating heaven and earth not only brought light and life but also laid the foundation for all living beings to come. This story symbolizes the fearless spirit of creation and the origins of the world.
