The Legend of Chinese Valentine's Day

Time: 2011-12-30 18:34 Source: Unknown Author: From the Internet

The starry river and the sky are full of stars, and the whole family laughs and holds a red feast. I should express my gratitude to my daughter in this precious jewel case, and write all the beautiful chapters of Tanlang.

The incense tents are clustered in rows, and the golden needles are pierced to worship Chanjuan. The copper kettle misses the news that the sky is about to dawn, and the melancholy good season is yet another year.

The Milky Way, composed of countless stars, stretches across the night sky like a Milky Way. People say that it separates the passionate Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. Only on the seventh day of July every year, when the magpies from all over the world build a magpie bridge, can they meet. This beautiful legend began in the Han Dynasty and has been passed down from generation to generation for more than a thousand years and has become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

According to legend, the Cowherd's parents died young and he was often abused by his brother and sister-in-law. He only had an old cow for company. One day Lao Niu gave him a plan to marry Weaver Girl as his wife. On that day, the beautiful fairies went to the Milky Way to bathe and play in the water. At this time, the Cowherd who was hiding among the reeds suddenly ran out and took away the Weaver Girl's clothes. The frightened fairies hurriedly went ashore, put on their clothes and flew away, leaving only the Weaver Girl. At the Cowherd's plea, the Weaver Girl agreed to be his wife. After marriage, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl farmed and weaved, fell in love with each other, and lived a very happy life. The Weaver Girl also gave birth to a son and a daughter to the Cowherd. Later, when the old cow was about to die, he told the cowherd to keep its skin and put it on for help in times of emergency. After the old cow died, the couple reluctantly peeled off the hide and buried the cow on the hillside.

When the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother found out about the marriage between Weaver Girl and Cowherd, they were furious and ordered the gods to capture Weaver Girl from the lower world. The god took advantage of the fact that the Cowherd was not at home and captured the Weaver Girl. When the Cowherd returned home and saw the Weaver Girl missing, he hurriedly put on his cowhide and carried two children to chase after her. Seeing that she was about to catch up, the Queen Mother became anxious and pulled out the golden hairpin on her head to draw a stroke towards the Milky Way. The once clear Milky Way suddenly turned into turbid waves, and the Cowherd could no longer get through. From then on, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl could only look at each other across the river with tears in their eyes for eternity. The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother could not resist their sincere feelings and allowed them to meet once a year on July 7th. According to legend, on the seventh day of July, the magpies in the world will I want to fly to the sky and build a magpie bridge for the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl to meet each other in the Milky Way. In addition, when the night of Chinese Valentine's Day is quiet, people can still hear the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl's loving words in the sky under the grape rack or other fruit racks.

Of course, this is just a legend. The ritual of begging for clever things originated from the original belief of the ancient Weaver Girl and Mulberry God. This belief was combined with the saying that the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl met every year on July 7, and became our current Qixi Qiao Qiao folk belief.

The Story of the Cangzhou Iron Lion

Time: 2011-12-30 18:30 Source: Unknown Author: From the Internet

"The lion of Cangzhou, the pagoda of Dingxian, the great Bodhisattva of Zhengding Prefecture." From this widely circulated folk song, we can see how famous the lion of Cangzhou is.

It is said that a long time ago, Cangzhou was a land of fish and rice with beautiful scenery and fertile land. It faces the sea, so from a distance, the sea and sky are blue. Coupled with the mild climate and hard-working people, every family's life is so wonderful. So even birds and beasts are willing to settle here.

One year when the grains were yellow and the sticks were pale, a black wind suddenly blew up from the sea, rolling up the waves and roaring towards Cangzhou City like a tiger roaring and a wolf howling. Seeing the ship capsized and broken, the house collapsed, and the good crops were swallowed by the sea water. The black wind and waves came so fast that the people had no time to hide, and many people drowned. That scene was so miserable!

Why did this black wind and evil waves suddenly come so violently? It turned out to be an evil dragon causing trouble. It saw that Cangzhou was a good place, so it wanted to monopolize it as its dragon palace. Just when the evil dragon was wreaking havoc and killing the people, people suddenly heard a roar like a mountain falling apart and the earth cracking. I saw a red and yellow lion leaping up from the seaside, like an eagle catching a rabbit, and with a whoosh, rushed towards the sea to catch the dragon. Suddenly water pillars rose to the sky on the sea, strong winds blew, dragons soared and lions leaped. The lion and the dragon fought from dusk to dawn. The dragon couldn't resist and turned around and ran away. As it ran, it thought: "If I can't occupy this place, it won't make it better." So it spit out bitter and alkaline foam as it ran.

The lion pursued him until he reached the depths of the East China Sea, forcing the dragon to withdraw the water that flooded Cangzhou, and then gave up.

The evil dragon ran away and the sea water receded. Only then did the people in Cangzhou avoid a greater disaster and can live and work in peace and contentment again. In order to thank the lion for killing the people, people invited a famous blacksmith named Li Yun to lead 9981 highly skilled apprentices and used 9981 tons of steel to cast the 998 After eleven days, this vivid and majestic iron lion was finally cast at the place where the lion leaped.

Although the evil dragon was not dead, as soon as it saw the iron lion, its whole body became weak and its claws became numb. It no longer dared to cause trouble, so later people regarded it as The iron lion is called Zhenhai Roar.

The story of Lu Dongbin and Shaoxing cakes

Time: 2011-12-30 18:26 Source: Unknown Author: From the Internet

p>

Shaoxing fragrant cake is a famous snack in Zhejiang and has a long history.

Legend has it that a long time ago, a Shaoxing man named Meng lived at the foot of Chenghuang Mountain by the West Lake in Hangzhou. Because of his young age, everyone called him Little Shaoxing. Little Shaoxing gets up in the middle of the night every day to grind rice flour and steam sponge cakes. After dawn, he picks up the cakes and sells them to support himself and his blind mother.

One year on the first day of the Lunar New Year, because Hangzhou has the habit of climbing mountains during the Spring Festival to seek the auspiciousness of "climbing higher step by step", there were a lot of tourists up and down the Chenghuang Mountain. The sponge cakes in Xiao Shaoxing were sold very quickly. After a while, only a small piece of broken sponge cake was left. Little Shaoxing remembered that his mother had not eaten yet, so he left this broken corner cake and planned to take it back to his mother to eat. When he walked to the City God's Temple, he saw an old man with white hair and silver beard, his head resting on two broken bowls facing each other, reaching out to beg for money. It turns out that this is Lu Dongbin, the immortal from Shangbadong. Seeing the commotion in the world, he came down to have a look. At that time, little Shaoxing did not know that this was Lu Dongbin. Seeing that the old man was ragged and skinny, he felt very sympathetic, so he took out a few copper coins and gave them to the old man. Unexpectedly, the old man did not want copper coins, but asked for a piece of sponge cake. Little Shaoxing took out the broken horn cake left for his mother and handed it to the old man. The old man ate it unceremoniously.

After Xiao Shaoxing returned home, he told his mother about the incident. Mother was very approving. From then on, little Shaoxing walked through the temple gate every day. Whenever he saw the old man, he would give him a piece of sponge cake.

One day, the old man saw little Shaoxing handing him a piece of cake with a frown on his face, and asked: "Is there anything unhappy with you?"

Little Shaoxing replied: "It has been raining for days and business is slow, so the cakes cannot be sold. My mother ate the leftover cakes and became seriously ill. She doesn't want to eat or drink."

The old man laughed loudly after hearing this: "Don't worry, you have to eat. No, I have some good medicine." He took out a gourd from his pocket and handed it to little Shaoxing. When he was told to make sponge cake, he should put the medicine from the gourd into the sponge cake. His mother would be cured after eating the cake. After saying this, a gust of wind blew up and the old man disappeared. Little Shaoxing knew that he had met an immortal. Thinking of the old man's broken bowl with mouth to mouth, he suddenly realized that this was Lu Dongbin. So he returned home happily and made sponge cake according to the method taught by Lu Dongbin. He first poured out a little of the medicine from the gourd, put it into the cake powder to make a cake embryo, and steamed it over a high fire until it was thoroughly steamed. After the cakes cool down, place them piece by piece on the charcoal fire and bake until golden brown. The baked sponge cake gives off a strange aroma. The old mother, who had not eaten rice for three days and three nights, smelled the strange fragrance and suddenly felt hungry, so she asked Xiao Shaoxing to bring some cakes to eat. After the old mother ate the cake, she recovered from her illness the next day. Since then, Xiao Shaoxing has been using this method to make cakes. Because this cake is so fragrant and sweet, everyone praises it. So the name of the sponge cake was changed to "Xiang Gao". Because the fragrant cake is made in Shaoxing, it is also called "Shaoxing fragrant cake".

Later, people realized that the medicine put in the fragrant cake turned out to be amomum villosum in traditional Chinese medicine. Amomum villosum is warm in nature, can regulate qi and widen the chest, strengthen the spleen and stomach, increase appetite, and is suitable for diseases such as spleen and stomach qi stagnation and indigestion. As a therapeutic food, fragrant cakes have become even more popular

The legend of three mountains disappearing and nine bridges failing

Time: 2011-12 -30 18:24 Source: Unknown Author: From the Internet

Zhengding is located in a plain and there are no mountains in the territory. In history, it has been called: "Hengshan County", "Changshan County" and "Zhongshan County".

The three names of Hengshan, Changshan and Zhongshan all have the word shan instead of mountain, so there is a saying that "three mountains are missing".

The saying "nine bridges do not flow" is that there is a three-way single-hole stone bridge built in front of the Tianwang Hall of Longxing Temple, in front of the Zaimen of Fuwen Temple, and in the front yard of the County Confucian Temple. There is a small pond under each bridge to catch the rain. There is some water accumulation at the end, and it dries up during drought. Hence the name.

In Zhengding County, there is a magical legend that "three mountains are missing and nine bridges are not flowing". Legend has it that the Jade Emperor has long been interested in Zhengding, a geomantic treasure land, and he opened a peach orchard to the east of the county. Now he wants to build a large-scale construction project in Zhengding to build a heavenly palace on earth. He ordered Taibai Jinxing to go to Zhengding several times to inspect the terrain, and found that there were three mountains, Changshan, Hengshan, and Meishan, which hindered him from building the heavenly palace. So the Jade Emperor summoned all the gods and gods to come up with suggestions on how to move these three mountains away to free up the land so that he could build a palace. Even though all the gods and goddesses were here, they all had their own plans in mind, and were afraid of moving the mountain peak to their own territory, which would be an inconvenience, so no one said a word. The Jade Emperor urged him again and again, but Taibai Jinxing was the first to speak. He touched his gray beard and sighed: "The palace must be built, and the mountains must be moved, but where can we move the mountains?" All the gods said in unison: "Tell me, where can we move the mountains? ?" Taibai Jinxing had already seen the little calculation in the minds of the gods, and said slowly: "The best solution is to move the three mountains into the sea." The gods unanimously applauded. Unexpectedly, the Dragon King of the East China Sea refused to comply. He kowtowed to the Jade Emperor and said, "You have filled up the sea. Where can I go to settle down?" The Jade Emperor said, "Don't be afraid, uncle. A sea as big as yours, even if it fills up a few mountain peaks, is not like an elephant." Throwing a few stones into the river won't affect anything." From that time on, Zhengding only had the names Changshan, Hengshan, and Meishan, but there were actually no big mountains. From that time on, there were stones in the sea. These were the three mountains of Zhengding!

The Legend of Candied Haws

Time: 2011-12-30 18:19 Source: Unknown Author: From the Internet

Candied haws, sweet and sour, suitable for all ages. It is not only delicious, but also very beautiful. The red mountain fruits are arranged on bamboo sticks according to their sizes and wrapped in crystal clear sugar. People who sell them often put a The candied haws skewers are stuck on special wooden sticks, like a small tree full of fruits, which is really tempting.

In the early years, during the Spring Festival temple fairs in Beijing, we often saw long strings of candied haws in factories, with a small colorful flag affixed to the top. There were more than a hundred candied haws on a string. Mountain fruit, the bamboo stick bent by the red fruit, trembles in the hand, adding to the lively atmosphere of the festival. Speaking of the origin of candied haws, we have to talk about Emperor Guangzong of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Song Guangzong, named Zhao Ting (1147-1200 AD), was the third son of Song Xiaozong Zhao Shen. In the 11th year of AD, Xiaozong made him the crown prince and the governor of Lin'an. In October 1187 AD, he succeeded to the throne after receiving the inner Zen of Xiaozong. The next year, he changed his reign name to "Shaoxi".

Zhao Shen lived in a deep palace for a long time and did not care about worldly affairs. When he came to the throne, he was 43 years old, but his hair was already white. The minister offered Polygonum multiflorum and was persuaded that it could turn his hair black, but he refused to take it, saying, "My hair is now white, so the world will know that I am mature." After he ascended the throne, he was influenced by Empress Li and deposed Zhou Bi. Da, Xin Qiji and other ministers of the main war faction appointed Liu Zheng as prime minister, and the government was controlled by the main peace faction.

The relationship between Zhao Bei and the Great Emperor Xiaozong had been at odds for a long time. After Xiaozong died, he refused to attend the funeral, which made it impossible to carry out the funeral and caused great commotion in the Manchu Dynasty. Zhao Ruyu, a minister of the Privy Council, and Han Huazhou, a minister of the Imperial Council, suggested that the Empress Dowager issue an edict to order Zhao Ting to abdicate and pass the throne to his son Zhao Kuo, who would preside over Xiaozong's funeral. The Empress Dowager agreed to Zhao Ting's Zen position, became the Great Emperor, and lived in the Shoukang Palace. Whenever he recalled what happened during his reign, he would always curse to himself and sometimes cry bitterly.

In the spring of 1200 AD, Emperor Zhao Kuo returned from a ritual ceremony in the suburbs, and the sound of drums entered the palace. Zhao Ting asked what was going on, and he replied that it was people on the street playing music and games. Zhao Dao said angrily: "You slaves deceived me like this!" He punched him and fell to the ground because he couldn't control it. He never got up. On Xinmao in August, he died of illness in Shoukang Palace, Yang'an. He was buried in Yongcholing Mausoleum (now Baoshan, 35 miles southeast of Shaoxing County, Zhejiang Province).

It was during the Shaoxi period that Zhao Ting's favorite concubine Huang Guifei fell ill. She is sallow, skinny, and doesn't want to eat.

The imperial doctor used many expensive medicines, but none of them had any effect. When the emperor saw his beloved concubine, he would frown all day long. In the end, I had no choice but to seek medical treatment. A charlatan entered the palace, diagnosed Huang Guifei's pulse, and said: "As long as you boil rock sugar and red fruits (hawthorn), and eat five to ten pieces before each meal, the disease will be cured within half a month." At first, everyone was doubtful. , Fortunately, this way of eating was suitable for the imperial concubine. After taking it according to this method, the imperial concubine recovered from her illness as expected. The emperor was naturally overjoyed and frowned.

Later, this practice spread to the people, and the people skewered it and sold it, which became candied haws. It turns out that hawthorn has many medicinal effects. It can eliminate food poisoning, disperse blood congestion, expel tapeworms, stop dysentery, and especially aids digestion. It has been an important medicine for digestion food since ancient times, especially for eliminating meat disease. Perhaps the delicacies eaten by Huang Guifei were accumulated in the food, causing the illness. The little hawthorn relieved the illness. Li Shizhen, an outstanding medical scientist in the Ming Dynasty, once said: "The hard meat of boiled old chicken is easy to rot if you add a few hawthorn berries, so its effect of eliminating accumulation can be overridden."

Modern people Studies have proven that hawthorn also has the effects of lowering blood lipids and lowering serum cholesterol. Therefore, it has become more popular among people, and hawthorn food has also been renovated and has a wide variety

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Huang Chao led the rebel army northward to attack Huncheng. After being unable to capture the city for three days, Huang Chao became so angry that he pointed at the tower and cursed, threatening to attack the city and kill all the chickens and dogs.

At this time, it was almost the Chinese New Year. There was a heavy snowfall and the weather was very cold. Most of the soldiers had not yet changed into winter clothes. Huang Chao knew that a hard attack would suffer losses, so he had to pull the team into the mountains first. Wait until after the New Year before calling.

The New Year passed quickly, and every family was pushing rice, grinding noodles, and making glutinous rice balls to celebrate the Lantern Festival. Huang Chao thought, the military book said: "Know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger." Why don't I take advantage of people's festivals to go into the city to feel out the strength of the enemy's army, and then decide on a strategy to attack the city. Thinking of this, he immediately summoned all the brothers to discuss it, handed the rebel army to his junior brothers, picked up the glutinous rice balls and picked the food, left the camp, and walked straight to Huncheng.

Huang Chao entered the city gate and ran straight to West Street. Not far away, I saw a group of people pointing and looking at something in front of the cross street. Just then, a jealous old man came across from the opposite side. He was wearing a ragged cotton jacket and cotton trousers, and he kept banging his clapper in his hand. Huang Chao stepped forward and saluted and said, "Excuse me, old man, what happened up front?" The old man looked at Huang Chao, looked around, pulled him to the side of the road, and whispered: "Two days ago, Huang Chao led his troops to attack the city and was unable to attack the city. We're here, we'll be back in a few days. The officials have posted a notice asking the people to provide food. Alas, there's going to be a big battle."

The two men were talking when they heard the sound of horse hooves. , Huang Chao looked up and saw a group of people galloping over. The soldier shouted as he ran: "Listen, people, Huang Chao has entered the city. The four gates are now closed. He can't run away. Is there anyone selling glutinous rice balls?" Report it immediately. Anyone who knows but fails to report will be killed!"

Huang Chao knew that there was a traitor in the army and the news was revealed, so he dropped his bag and ran eastward, hurriedly getting into an alley. He entered a courtyard and hid behind the door. Wait for the cavalry to pass by, then come out and run north. After not running far, he heard the sound of horse hoofs again. Knowing that the horse team was back again, he turned around and got into a small courtyard.

Huang Chao opened the door and was about to enter the house when he saw an old man walking out of the house. It was the old man who was talking to him on the cross street. He hurriedly walked over and said; "Old man, please hide me." The old man was stunned for a moment when he saw Huang Chao, and then nodded in agreement.

At this time, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves on the street, and then someone knocked on the door. The old man was so anxious that he didn't even care to say anything. He hurriedly led Huang Chao to the backyard, came to the vinegar vat, opened the lid of the vat and let him get in. He said, "Sir, please feel sorry for me first!" The old man took a broom and was about to go. The floor was swept, the door was opened, and a dozen officers and soldiers broke in and surrounded the old man. The leader of the officers and soldiers said, "Why did you barge in the door in broad daylight?" The old man said, "I'm afraid that thieves would come in and steal things." The leader asked, "There is a big man, where did you hide him?" The old man said, "My door is barred. , no one came in!" The leader yelled, "Nonsense! He's obviously here. You don't want to live anymore!" The old man said, "Guard, if you don't believe it, please search."

The leader ordered a search, and more than a dozen officers and soldiers immediately entered the house and rummaged through the boxes and cabinets. Ping-pong sounds were heard, many things were smashed, and two vinegar jars were broken. Vinegar flowed all over the yard. Fortunately, they did not continue to rummage.

After the officers and soldiers left, Huang Chao climbed out of the tank and saw that the yard was full of broken tanks. The old man shed tears in front of the tank with regret. He hurriedly walked over to comfort him and said, "Don't cry, old man. I will pay you a few mouthfuls in two days."

The old man stood up and said, "Sir, please leave quickly. They are going ahead. They will come back if they can't find anyone."

Huang Chao asked: "Old man, it's not dark yet, there are officers and soldiers everywhere, where can I get out of the city?"

The old man said. : "You exit this alley, go into the opposite courtyard, and go out from the back to the Tianqi Temple. You hide in the temple first. After dark, walk south along the city wall. There is a gap more than two feet away. , just go out from there." Huang Chao saw that the old man was kind and honest, so he inquired further: "Old man, what's so great about this city that Huang Chao's army of 100,000 people couldn't defeat it after three days of attack?" The old man said, "Sir, sir? I don’t know, but this city was built during the First Emperor’s time. The walls were high and thick, with rolling logs on them and archers hidden on both sides.” Huang Chao asked, “Is there nothing we can do?”

The old man said: "If you want to attack the city, you can't enter through the city gate, but through the gap in Tianqi Temple."

After Huang Chao left, the old man spread the news to his neighbors. The poor people all know about it, and every family buys red paper to tie lanterns.

Huang Chao returned to the camp and immediately summoned his soldiers to discuss. On the night of the 15th day of the first lunar month in the lunar calendar, he led five thousand elite soldiers across the moat and quietly entered the city along the path pointed by the old man. With a trumpet blast, they attacked from both inside and outside. Soon the city gate was breached and the rebel army entered the city!

At this time, red lights were hung at the door of the poor people's houses, and the whole city was brightly lit. Any door with a red light hanging on the river will not be allowed in by the rebel army; if there is no red light, the rebel army will rush in to seize corrupt officials and rich people, and kill all the corrupt officials, local tyrants and evil gentry in just one night. The next day, Huang Chao opened a warehouse to distribute the grain and sent someone to deliver 200 taels of silver to the old man.

Since then, every household has hung up a red light on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. This custom has been passed down.

Many. But the sweet, sour and crispy candied haws is still a favorite food to this day.

The Morin Khuur is a representative musical instrument of the Mongolian nation. It not only occupies a place in the family of musical instruments in China and the world, but is also a favorite instrument among folk artists and herdsmen. The production, life and grassland style of the Mongolian nation.

It is difficult to access historical data on the emergence and development of Morin Fhuur. However, it has a beautiful and touching story, which is a very distant legend. The young shepherd Battelle family has been herding horses for the prince for generations. On a cold early spring, Battelle ran hundreds of miles away to retrieve the lost horses, and then found a white pony whining beside a Nao'er, facing an ice cave in the uncivilized Nao'er. Seeing the tears in the foal's eyes and listening to the sad neighing, Battelle understood everything, so Battelle took it home and lived together. From now on, no matter where Battle goes, it will follow him; at night when Battle sleeps, it will stand guard outside the yurt on the side where Battle sleeps. A few years later, the little white horse is very humane, with strong four hooves, long flying mane, and a well-proportioned frame, becoming a rare good horse.

At a large Naadam conference, Battelle rode it and appeared on the racecourse for the first time. He was far ahead of all the prince's carefully bred racehorses. When Barter received the first place prize, his heart was filled with joy. However, he did not know that disaster would also come at the same time.

It turned out that the prince was filled with joy after seeing the horse, so he sent someone to take away Battle's white horse by force, but the white horse was difficult to subdue. At that time, the prince sent four strong men to hold the white horse with a big rope, saddled it, and then he forced himself onto the horse. The white horse raised its hooves and mane, knocked down the strong man, rushed out of the racecourse, and threw the prince off the horse. The prince was furious and sent a large number of men. The white horse was surrounded and ordered to be shot with a strong bow. The white horse was finally shot by a strong bow, but still struggled to break through. Late that night, the grieving Barter missed the white horse and couldn't fall asleep. Suddenly he heard the sound of rapid horse hooves accompanied by a sad neighing, coming closer and closer. Hearing the familiar sound of hooves, Battle jumped up and ran out of the yurt. I saw the white horse galloping to the front of the yurt, but suddenly fell down, raised its head slightly, with tears in its eyes, looked at Barter kindly, raised its hind legs, flicked its tail, showing an expectant look. Battle was thoughtful, as if he understood what the white horse meant. Baima was finally in Battle's arms and closed his eyes.

After an unknown amount of time, the sun rose from the distant horizon. Battle waited for Baima for three days and three nights. On this day, he took off the hind leg bone and tail of the white horse, hung it in the yurt, and then buried the white horse. Facing the hind leg bones and tail of the white horse, Battelle meditated for 99 days, and the image of the white horse always appeared in his mind. A novel idea finally took shape. So he made the back legs into the body of the instrument, carved a white horse's head on top, and used the horse's tail to make the strings and bow. The Morin Khuur was finally born. Perhaps Battle misses the white horse too deeply, and maybe the white horse also has spirituality. Therefore, the melody of the Morin Qur expresses the diligence and bravery of the Mongolian nation, and also reproduces the deep, rough and exciting music, which is like the galloping of thousands of horses.

< p>Our great motherland has a very long history. According to ancient tradition, there is about four thousand years of history from the legendary Yellow Emperor to the present, which is usually called "the upper and lower five thousand years".

In the five thousand years of history, there are many moving and meaningful stories. Many of them are documented. As for the situation in the ancient times five thousand years ago, there are no written records, but some myths and legends have also been circulated.

For example, where did our human ancestors come from? In ancient times, there was a myth about the creation of the heaven and the earth by Pangu. It said that before the creation of the heaven and the earth, the universe was just a chaotic ball of air with no light or sound in it. At this time, Pangu came out and split the chaos with a big axe. When the light air floats upward, it becomes the sky; when the heavy air sinks, it becomes the earth.

From then on, the sky became ten feet higher every day, the earth became ten feet thicker every day, and Pangu himself also grew ten feet taller every day. After 18,000 years of this, the sky became very high and the earth became very thick. Of course, Pangu became a giant who towered over the sky and the earth. Later, Pangu died, and various parts of his body became the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, vegetation, etc.

This is the myth of the creation of the world.
