What are the ancient myths and stories in China?

Legend has it that the universe was originally a chaotic ball like an egg, in which Pangu grew up. He felt uncomfortable when he grew up one day, so he stretched out his hands and feet and "crashed" to separate the chaos. It is divided into two streams of air, the light one floats to the sky and the thick one accumulates to the ground, but in some places the sea is connected, so Pangu holds the sky with his hands and feet on the ground, trying his best to make his body grow up and completely separate heaven and earth. Day after day. The ground is ten feet thick every day. Pangu's body also stretches ten feet every day. After another 18,000 years, the sky was extremely high, the earth was extremely thick, and Pangu's body was extremely long. But Pangu's life was over, so he died after completing the task of creating the world. But before he died, he created everything in the world with his last divine power: his breath became wind and clouds, his voice became thunder, his left eye became the sun, his right eye became the moon, his limbs became the four poles and five mountains of the earth, his blood became rivers, his veins became roads, his skin became fields, and his hair and beard became stars in the sky. Teeth and bones become metal minerals and rocks, semen and bone marrow become pearls and gems, sweat becomes rain, and soul becomes gods ... Pangu turned into everything in the world with his body. Different from the majesty of the creator god in other countries, Pangu gives people the image of a silent dedicated person.
