The Legend of Dragon Born Pangu

In Biyang and Tongbai, the hometown of Pangu culture, there is a legend that "the dragon gave birth to Pangu". There are nine dragons in the sky: black dragon, white dragon and yellow dragon. Nine dragons hatch two eggs in turn. When it was hatched for 18,000 years, the bigger dragon egg cracked and erected a big horn and axe. People call it Pangu. The old dragon was surprised to see that its shape was different from his own, so he shook his tail and threw Pangu to the ground. Seeing the darkness and chaos around him, Pangu felt depressed and panicked, so he swung his axe and cut it down. He cut and cut, and slowly cleared the air into the sky, and the turbid things fell to the ground, and the world was clear. When Pangu was tired of chopping, he lay on the ground and fell asleep. I woke up and saw a woman standing in front of me. This woman emerged from another smaller dragon egg. As soon as you come out, you can talk and shout "Dad" to the old dragon. The old dragon listened to the shouts and became a man. This is the future god. Because she shouted too loudly, the old dragon's ears were deaf, so later people complained that God didn't rain when there was a drought, but God didn't rain until there was a flood, but God was often indifferent because he couldn't hear. Seeing that this woman is similar to the previous one, the old dragon said, "Go to the ground, too!" " With a wave of her hand, the woman came to the ground. She is Pangu's sister. Later, brother and sister Pangu became husband and wife, and they propagated human beings by giving birth to children, squeezing clay figurines and throwing mud.
