1, "Goddess of mending the sky", according to legend, Nu Wa created human beings, changed from one day to seventy, imitated herself with yellow mud, created human society, and established a marriage system; Later, the world collapsed, so the colorful stones were melted to fill the sky, and the turtle was cut high enough to set up four poles, leaving the myth and legend of the goddess filling the sky.
2, * * workers touch the mountain, China pre-Qin ancient book Liezi Tang Wen records, it is said that * * * workers have been at odds with Zhuan Xu, and there was an earth-shattering war, which ended in the failure of * * * workers and angrily hit Zhoushan.
3. "Houyi shoots the sun". In order to save mankind, Houyi shoots a bow and arrow at nine suns. I saw a burst fireball in the sky, and a crow with three legs fell. Finally, there is only one sun left in the sky.
In the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon, Hou Yi asked the Queen Mother of the West for a bag of elixir and gave it to Chang 'e for safekeeping. Feng Meng took advantage of Hou Yi's going out to force Chang 'e to hand over the elixir of life. Chang 'e swallowed the elixir in a crisis, and soon floated off the ground and fell to the moon to become a fairy.
Huainanzi is an expanded material, with comprehensive content and compatibility with hundreds of schools. It has all kinds of colors that were not available in pre-Shu, especially because it preserves many fairy tales, and is regarded as one of the sources of ancient myths in China. China's four myths-"Goddess mending the sky", "Anger of workers cannot reach the surrounding mountains", "the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon" and "Houyi shooting the sun" were all here at the earliest.
China's original four myths:
1, the Goddess Chang'e flying to the moon
For example, asking the Queen Mother of the West for the elixir of life, Chang 'e steals the moon, which is endless. What is this? I wonder where the elixir of life comes from.

Step 2 shoot for ten days
Yao was arrested and came out ten days later, burning crops and killing vegetation, and the people had no food; Anger, tooth digging, nine babies, strong winds, and sealing snakes are all harmful to the people. Yao is a man who killed nine babies in the wild in China, killed nine babies in the fierce water, and killed Dongting snakes and closed birds in mulberry trees for ten days, which made Yao think he was the son of heaven. So the world is wide, easy, far and near, and there is a way.

3. The anger of workers can't touch the island.
In the past, * * * workers and Zhuan Xu fought for the emperor. In a rage, they touched the mountain where they didn't make progress. Tianzhu was broken and the land was gone. The sky leans to the northwest, so the sun, the moon and the stars move; The land is not satisfied with the southeast, the water is flowing and the dust is returning.

4. Mend the goddess of the sky
In ancient times, the four poles were abolished, Kyushu was cracked, the heavens and the earth were covered, and the land was incomplete; Fire does not go out, water is inexhaustible; Wild animals eat people, while birds prey on the old and the weak. So nuwa refined five-color stones to make up the sky, and the broken claws were enough to set up four poles, killing the black dragon and helping Jizhou, and accumulating reed ash to stop the lewd water.
Tianbu, four poles are positive; Water is dry, Jizhou is flat; When a cunning worm dies, it destroys people's livelihood; Go back to the state and hold the staff festival; And spring and summer, kill autumn and winter, pillow sleeping rope. Those who are trapped in yin and yang don't know it; Those who are angry with things and hurt people's accumulation will stop.
At this time, lying happy, one thought he was a horse and the other thought he was a cow; Its behavior is clumsy, it depends on it; Dong Ran has his harmony, and he doesn't know where he comes from. I don't know what I want or where I'm going.
At this time, animals and poisonous snakes hide their minions and thorns, and there is no intention of biting people. Test its merits and demerits, nine days in the international arena, and the contract is yellow; Fame is valued by future generations, and light is more important than everything else.
Ride in a thunder car, ride, help Jue Rui, Xiluotu, Huang Yun collateral, front, and then run snakes, float and shake, teach ghosts and gods, board the ship for nine days, near the Emperor Yu Ling Gate, and die under Mao. However, if you don't show merit, you won't listen to his voice and learn the truth of heaven and earth. What is this? Morally, but intellectually, it is also destructive.
