Asian Creation Myths:
The story of Pan Gu:
The main Chinese account of creation involves the god Pan Gu, the son of Yin and Yang, who came into being in the darkness of chaos. Before heaven and earth were separated there was chaos- vast and unknowable, containing all the elements of creation. It took forms of moist darkness within a giant egg. At its heart, Pan Gu came to life. Finally he awoke, a short stout man holding chisel and are which he used to split open egg and send elements of creation flying through space. Lighter, younger pats flew upwards and became heaven – heavier ones (Yin) Sankto take shape as the Earth. He was exhausted, he laid down and died. His breath became the wind, his voice was the blast of thunder, his left eye the sun, his right eye the moon. His bristling hair and beard the glistening stars of the night sky, his sweat the rain. His life blood became the rivers and streams that water Earth, his flesh became the fields, His body-hair the grass and slender trees, his teeth and bones the minerals and the rocks was his semen and an bone marrow precious pearls and jades. The flees on his body transformed into the human race.
