Pangu Creates the World 第2680期
In the beginning of the universe(宇宙), there was only darkness. The universe was in the shape of an egg. For 18,000 years, Pangu slept and grew within the egg.
One day, he woke up. He stretched his arms and the egg cracked. The lighter matter(物质) rose up to become the sky. The heavier matter sank(下沉) down to become the earth. Pangu feared that the sky and the earth would come together again. So he used his head to support the sky and pressed his feet down on the earth to keep them separated(分开的).
For the next 18,000 years, Pangu continued to hold them apart. Each day, the sky rose 3 meters higher and the earth grew 3 meters thicker, and Pangu grew 3 meters taller. By the time the sky and the earth seemed to have stabilized(稳定), Pangu had been very tired. He lay down to take a rest and fell asleep. He never woke up.
After Pangu had died, different parts of his body became different parts of the sky and the earth. His arms and legs became the four directions; his breath, the wind and clouds; his blood, the oceans and rivers. His sweat became the rain; his veins(静脉), the roads; his flesh, the soil. His teeth and bones became the rocks; his voice, the thunder; his left eye, the sun; his right eye, the moon. The hair on his head became the stars. The skin and other hairs(毛发)from his body became the grass and flowers.
