Chinese Ancient Mythology
Such fascinating mythologies not only reflect ancient people’s understanding of nature, but also represent their dauntless, hard-bitten spirit in the struggle against natural disasters.
Chinese ancient mythology, a remote and mystic world, was created with the wildest imagination by people in primitive ages, when faced with the unknown.
Last culture lessons we were talking about Nu Wa and Pan Gu. These two stories are talking about how does Chinese got the universe and where is the human being comes from!
Chinese ancient mythologies were created collectively by people of the primitive society, and underwent the far-flung years of oral circulation until the Chinese characters were invented to provide a more permanent way of recording. The content of most mythologies reflected the rich and colorful life style of ancient society, including: Pan Gu Separates the Sky from the Earth, Nu Wa Makes Men, Nu Wa Mends the sky, etc.
