Pangu Creates the Heavens and the Earth
A long, long time ago, the heavens and the earth were not yet separated. The entire world was like a giant egg, dark and misty. This was called 'Chaos.' Inside this chaos slept a giant named Pangu.
Pangu slept for eighteen thousand years. Finally, he stretched and woke up. He opened his eyes, but it was dark everywhere. He couldn't even see his own hands, and he felt very uncomfortable.
Pangu felt around and found a huge axe. 'If only I could split this darkness!' he thought. He raised the axe and swung it with all his might at the chaos before him.
'CRACK!' With a tremendous sound, the chaos was split in two! The lighter, brighter parts floated upward to become the sky, while the heavier, darker parts sank downward to become the earth.
The sky and the earth kept trying to merge back together. Pangu quickly stood up straight, propping up the sky with his head and holding down the earth with his feet, pushing them apart.
Every day, the sky rose one zhang, the earth thickened by one zhang, and Pangu grew one zhang taller as well. He held them apart like this for another eighteen thousand years, until the sky was very high and the earth was very stable.
Pangu had held them apart for so long that he finally collapsed from exhaustion. He closed his eyes and never woke up again. But he did not disappear; he was to become a part of the world itself.
Pangu's breath became the wind and clouds in the sky, his voice became the sound of thunder, and his eyes became the sun and the moon—his left eye the sun, and his right eye the moon.
Pangu's limbs became the four great mountains, his blood became the flowing rivers, the hairs on his body became the flowers, grass, and trees on the land, and his bones became the rocks and metals underground.
In this way, Pangu used his own body to create the beautiful world we see today. The people who came after always remembered that it was Pangu who created the heavens and the earth, and they regarded him as the greatest of heroes.
