China's ancient myths about the universe. The more, the better.
China people's ancient myth about the universe "Literature and Art Lei Ju" records that "the world is like a mess, and Pangu was born in it. Eight thousand years old, heaven and earth open, for the sky, cloudy and turbid for the ground "[8]. This is the myth of Pangu's creation and the original description of the origin of the universe: the universe was chaotic at first, shaped like an egg, and Pangu was born in it. According to the computer simulation results of a foreign research group, BIGBANG was "oval" at first. And "Pangu" can be understood as a kind of energy, just as the ancients in some areas regarded volcanic eruption as a god. Many, many years later ("18000 years old" is sometimes interpreted stiffly as 18000 years old, but the "myriad" of China culture mostly means "very, very long", which can't be calculated), Pangu created the world, and it became a sky, and the gloom became a ground. "Cloudiness" can be understood as the matter that formed the planet, while "Yang Qing" is the matter that drifted out from the planet. According to the theory close to the Big Bang, we can understand China's creation theory of the ancient universe: for some reason, Pangu (explosive energy generated by singularity) was born, which opened the universe, created the universe and made the sky clear (space, vacuum, dark matter, etc.). ) and make the earth cloudy (stars, etc.). ) Pangu became the sun, the moon and mountains, that is, the Big Bang changed from pure energy to mass. Other Myths Indian mythology describes the beginning of the universe, in which Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu became one person, namely Prusa and Prusa, with thousands of heads, eyes and feet. Later, Prussa was divided into three gods, namely Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu. Brahma is the master of the universe, and Miaopitian is the guardian of the universe and life. According to ancient Egyptian mythology, the original universe came from Adong (Atum), and Adong split into two, becoming the god of wind and rain. Shuhe gave birth to a daughter and a son, who were the gods and Gebu, the earth gods.
