A long time ago, there was no heaven and earth, and the world was in chaos. There is no distinction between heaven and earth, up and down, left and right, southeast and northwest. It looks like a round egg, and Pangu, the ancestor of mankind, sleeps in it. Eighteen thousand years later, Pangu woke up, and he split this chaotic round thing with an axe. With a loud noise, the light sun in the circle rose and turned into a blue sky; The heavy and muddy Yin Qi sank and became the earth. Since then, the universe has been divided into heaven and earth. And Pangu himself has become an indomitable giant, supporting heaven and earth like a pillar, so that they are no longer chaotic.

After Pangu created the world, his emotional changes directly affected the changes of heaven and earth. When he is happy, the sky is clear; As soon as he cried, it began to rain, and the raindrops fell to the ground and merged into rivers, lakes and seas ... After Pangu died, his head expanded and became Mount Tai; His feet turned upside down and turned into Huashan Mountain. As for his hair and hair, it turned into trees and flowers. Later, there appeared the legendary ancient emperors-Huang San, namely Qin Shihuang, Huang Di and Ren Huang.

In the history of the Chinese nation, Pangu's grand feat of creating the world was almost unknown, and it later became the spiritual force of entrepreneurs.

After the drought, in order to thank Phoenix for saving his life, the birds all chose the most beautiful feathers from themselves, pulled them off and made a dazzling bird coat for Phoenix, unanimously recommending it as the king of birds.

Every time the Phoenix is born, birds from all directions will fly to congratulate the Phoenix. This is a hundred birds flying to the phoenix.
