After 18,000 years, Pan Gu woke up. He found out all was pitch black, so he got really mad(Anger Issues!). He picked up the ax he somehow found in there (mythology explains all) and broke the chaos egg. All the lighter things floated up and became the sky, while everything that was heavy sank down and became the ground. From then on, the sky and ground were separate.
Pan Gu now used his head to keep the sky up and his feet to keep the ground down. He then grew a meter an day for another 18,000 years (kids grow fast, just not that fast!). At that time, the sky couldn't get any higher and the ground couldn't get any lower. By that time he was a giant, almost like a pillar that kept the earth and sky apart.
The sky followed his emotion, when he was happy the sky was clear, angry then cloudy, crying then raining, sighing then blowing gusts of wind. Many years later, Pan Gu died and lay on the ground, his head, limbs, and feet became mountains, his hair became grass and trees, his eyes became the sun and moon.
Such an interesting story!
ReplyDeleteI think you have a small typo -- the sky and the what followed his emotions?
