How did Pangu die? The cause of death of Pangu

How did Pangu die? Pangu is a figure in China folk myths and legends. It was first seen in March 5 written by Wu in the Three Kingdoms period, and its earliest images were found in Guangbo Legend and Judgement of Heaven. In ancient times, there was a huge star floating in space, much like an egg, running in endless dark clouds without sound. Just inside the superstar, a giant named Pangu has been digging with his big axe in an attempt to save himself from the siege. After 18,000 years of hard work, Pangu swung his last axe, only to hear a loud noise, and the superstar split in two. Half of the superstars on Pangu's head turned into gas and kept rising. Half of the superstars at the foot turned into the earth, which became thicker and thicker, and the universe began to have heaven and earth. Every day, the height is one foot, and the ground is one foot thicker. Pangu also grew bigger and bigger, becoming a hero of "indomitable spirit". In most legends about Pangu, there is such a content: "The world was born in a vague world, and Pangu was born in this vague world. 18000 years later, Pangu broke the heavens and the earth with a sharp axe. Clear and light things rise to form the sky; Heavy and turbid things sink to form land. Afraid of the reunion of heaven and earth, Pangu stood up and supported him. The sky rises 1 zhang every day, and Pangu grows 1 zhang every day. After 18000 years, Pangu died, and his organs became everything between heaven and earth: his body became mountains, his muscles became fertile fields, his blood became rivers, his bones and muscles became roads, his teeth became jade, and his fur became vegetation ... "Some people think that Pangu is Fuxi. Pangu, the head of the dragon, began with the ancient meaning of the word "pan", which is a gourd and means the reproduction of life.

After Yan Di, Chiyou and other tribes moved south from the Yellow River Basin, the legend of Fuxi evolved into Pangu, which spread among the southern minorities. Others believe that the legend of Pangu was created by ancient ancestors who absorbed the legends of "Pan Hu" or "Pangu" of southern minorities and added philosophical elements and their own imagination to ancient books, so as to fill the gap in the Hongmeng era. The story of Pangu was earlier seen in Xú Zhēng's "Three Five Calendars" in the Three Kingdoms Period: "The world is like a chicken. Pangu was born in it. Eight thousand years old. Heaven and earth opened. Yang Qing is the sky. Cloudy is the ground. Pangu is among them. Nine changes a day. God is in heaven. Holy land. The sky is ten feet high. The earth is ten feet thick every day. Pangu grows ten feet a day.

So 8,000 years. The sky is extremely high. The land is extremely deep. Pangu is extremely long. So I went to Wan Li that day. Then Huang San. The weather is fine, the bud begins, and then the sky and the earth are divided, and the yin and yang are exposed and the vitality is distributed. It is pregnant, neutral and human. Mr. Pangu. The embodiment of dying. Qi turned into a storm. The sound is like thunder. The left eye is the sun. The right eye is the moon. Five limbs are four poles and five mountains. Blood is a river. Tendons are underground. Muscles are dirt. Hair is like a star. Skin is a plant. Tooth bones are stones. The essence is pearl jade. Sweat turned into rain. Insects in the body. Feel the wind. Cheng Li M. Since then, there have been more and more records of Pangu's creation. After his death, his head turned into Dongyue, his belly into Zhongyue, his left arm into Nanyue, his right arm into Beiyue, his feet into Xiyue, his eyes turned into the sun and the moon, his tears turned into rivers, his breath turned into wind, his voice turned into lightning, and his husband and wife turned into yin and yang. There is a crater named after Pangu on Rhea.
