It is generally believed that Pangu's creation is the beginning of myth. What was Pangu before he opened heaven and earth?

We don't know what Pangu was before the creation of the world, but we can use our imagination or learn more about the relevant records of Pangu's creation of the world.

Since ancient times, in all kinds of ancient myths and legends, we have learned that the world originated from Pangu, and Nuwa made man. Only when talents are recorded can there be culture. So Pangu's creation became the origin of the mythical human world.

Because Pangu's creation is the beginning of myth, what was before the beginning of myth? I guess it may be the crust of the earth. The legend at that time was that the world was in chaos, similar to an oval egg. In this ball, Pangu was born, and Pangu absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon and grew up day by day. Then one day, the great god finally woke up and found his world in chaos. He thought it was evil, so he took out a big knife and cut it off, splitting the chaos. Clear air rose to the sky and dirty air sank to the ground, thus opening the world. But Pangu was afraid that heaven and earth would meet again. He held on for a long time until there was no interference between heaven and earth. However, due to exhaustion of energy, Pangu fell. But with his last consciousness, he turned his dying breath, voice, eyes, limbs, blood and sweat into various human cultures.

Experts found many murals in Cangyuan, Yunnan Province. One of them depicts a man with an axe, his head as high as the sky, his feet standing on the ground, and his surroundings are still shining. This is very close to the image of Pangu, so it is not excluded that this is a painted Pangu. As for why there is such a thing, it is too old to be elegant.

According to these statements, suppose that before Pangu opened the sky, he rested in an egg-like container, waiting to split the world and open up a new world for mankind after uniting into a god.
