The Birth of Pangu | A Chinese Creation Myth of Sacrifice, Harmony and Life | A Simple Tale
Simple Tales presents the ancient Chinese creation myth The Birth of Pangu—the legendary story of how a giant awakened inside a cosmic egg to separate Heaven and Earth, shaping the world we know today.
In the beginning, there was only shapeless chaos. Sleeping within a cosmic egg for eighteen thousand years, the giant Pangu awakens to complete darkness. Breaking through the shell, he pushes Heaven upward and presses Earth downward, growing taller for another eighteen thousand years to keep the two realms from collapsing. When his monumental task is finished, Pangu falls to rest, giving his ultimate gift—his breath becomes the wind, his eyes turn into the Sun and Moon, and his body transforms into the mountains, rivers, and fertile soil of Earth.
