Pan Gu Creates The WORLD! A.K.A Chinese Big Bang Theory


Once upon a time, before the skies and seas were formed, it was all chaos. There was no ending point or edge, no up or down or left or right, no cardinal directions, just a giant egg. Within this egg, there was Pan Gu the ancestor of all humans.
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.

Hou Yi Shoots 9 Suns (Yes, Suns)

Once upon a time, there were ten suns. They each took turns going out and bringing the people warmth. These ten suns were all brothers. When one of the suns went out, The others would relax, play, and do random things suns do. Then,one day, they came up with an idea that will get them killed. Going out together. Now that may sound weird to you, but they would parch the land if the came out together. In fact, they even had restrictions for that. But nooo, they just had to make that decision, and the next morning they all went out to play baseball, just kidding, they went out and did things that suns do. This lasted for quite a while. Pretty soon our puny little lives got pretty sad and our numbers were dwindling. A "hero" Hou Yiwent to go and help us, then squinted through the blinding white light (when did they invent sunglasses?) aimed pretty well, and shot one of the suns. Boom! One Sun down. *8 booms later* Hou Yi's wife Chang E came to plead with him to not shoot th...
