据民间神话传说，古时有一位叫盘古的神人沉睡了一万八千年后苏醒，但他发现自己周围一片混沌，动弹不得。于是，他张开自己巨大的双手朝周围劈去，霎时间只听到一声巨响，黑呼呼的东西慢慢发生了变化，一些轻而清的东西上升形成了天，一些重而混沌的东西下沉变成了地。此时，盘古终于可以舒展身体了，但盘古怕天和地再次合拢，于是就站在天与地之间，头顶着天，脚踩着地，不敢挪身一步。自此之后，随着盘古身体的生长，天和地之间的距离也越来越大。盘古凭借自己的神力，终于把天和地彻底分开了，但他最终也因过度疲劳而累死。在他临死前，他口里呼出的气，顿时变成了风和云；他呻吟之声，变成了隆隆作响的雷霆；他的左眼变成了太阳，右眼变成了月亮；手足和身躯，变成了大地和高山；血液变成江河；筋脉变成了道路；头发和胡须，也变成了天上的星星；皮肤和汗毛，变成了草地林木；肌肉变成了土地；牙齿和骨骼，变成了闪光的金属和坚石、珍宝；身上的汗水，也变成了雨露和甘霖。也就是说，盘古牺牲了自己为人类造就了一个美丽的世界！ According to the legend, there was a god called Pangu, who woke up after 18000 years of sleep and realized he was surrounded by chaos and couldn't move. So he opened his two huge arms and with a loud sound split open his surroundings. Slowly the darkness changed. Some light and clear things rose up and formed the sky and some heavy and dark things sunk down and turned into the earth. At that time, Pangu could finally stretch his body, but he was afraid the sky and earth would close again, so he just stood there between them with his head carrying the sky and his feet supporting the earth. He dared not move. After this, as Pangu's body grew, so grew the distance between the sky and the earth. Due to Pangu's divine power the sky and the earth were finally completely separated, but at the end he was so tired that he died from exhaustion. Before his death, his breath came out and suddenly turned into the wind and the stars; his groan into the rumbling sound of the thunder; his left eye into the sun and his right eye into the moon; his limbs and body into the earth and the high mountains; his blood into the rivers and streams; his muscles and veins into the roads; his hair and beard into the stars in the sky; his skin and hair into the meadows and forests; his flesh into the soil; his teeth and bones into the shining metals and the solid stones and gems; his sweat into the rain. It is said that Pangu sacrificed himself to create a beautiful world for the people!
