Portrait of Pan Gu
Pan Gu was a mythical god of creation in ancient China. For 18,000 years he slept in a s a cosmic egg of primordial chaos. He became claustrophobic and discovering an ax, he hacked his way out. When the light yang energy rose to form heaven and the heavy yin energy dropped down to form earth, he held the space between until he died. When Pan died,, his body became the Earth, his breath, the wind and clouds.His left eye, the sun, his right, the moon. His blood became rivers. His muscles, the soil. His teeth, gems His sweat and tears, the rain and mist.And the lice who feasted on him became human beings— All born of his hungry copulation with Lady Space.
