How did the universe begin? Where did time and space come from? You may explain it using the Big Bang theory, saying it all began from a great explosion 13.8 billion years ago. But Zhuangzi, a Chinese philosopher who lived around the 4th century BC told us, the universe began from the death of Hundun, when Shu and Hu tried to help him bore seven orifices. SanwuLiji(Historical Records of the Three Sovereign Divinities and the Five Gods), an ancient Chinese classic, however, told us that it was Pangu who separated the sky and the earth, originally all in one like an egg. This is the charm of myths: magnificent and imaginative. They represent how human beings in the past conquered nature with fantasy, and they are common around the world. Not being complete as Greekor Indian mythology, Chinese mythology nevertheless addresses how ancient Chinese dealt with the relationship with nature. Pangu created the world by separating the sky from the earth; Nüwa created human beings with yellow clay and mended the sky with five-color stones, showing how our ancestors perceived nature such as the sun, the moon, the stars, the wind, the rain, the thunder and the lightening as well as natural disasters such as the flood and the earthquake; Kuafu and Houyi bravely fought against nature. All of these myths and legends have laid the foundation of the way of thinking and national character that are unique to the Chinese people, who strike a balance between romance and practicality, fight and harmony.This is a book specially designed for children. Apart from attractive stories, you will also find the pure innocence of childhood, the valuable experience of our ancestors, and the great spirit of altruism and perseverance. It is the right book to inspire children and expand their imaginations. Years later when they grow up, they may excusably forget the details of the stories, but the truth, kindness and beauty entailed will live with them for a lifetime.
