Pangu Separates the Sky from the Earth
▪ The sky and the earth were at first one blurred entity like an egg. Pangu was born into it. The separation of the sky and the earth took eighteen thousand years – the yang which was light and pure rose to become the sky, and the yin which was heavy and murky sank to form the earth. Between them was Pangu, who went through nine changes every day, his wisdom greater than that of the sky and his ability greater than that of the earth. Every day the sky rose ten feet higher, the earth became ten feet thicker, and Pangu grew ten feet taller. Another eighteen thousand years passed, and there was an extremely high sky, an extremely thick earth, and an extremely tall Pangu. Then came the Three emperors.

The Legend of the Weaver Girl and the CowherdOnce upon a time, in the vast celestial realm of Chinese mythology, there existed a profound love story that spanned the heavens and the mortal world. This is the legend of the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd.In the Heavenly Palace, the Weaver Girl, a skilled celestial seamstress named Zhinü, wove beautiful clouds and celestial garments with her magical loom. Full of diligence and grace, she captured the hearts of those who beheld the exquisite tapestries she created. However, confined to her celestial duties, Zhinü longed for human emotions and experiences.On the earthly realm, a humble Cowherd named Niulang tended to his herd with utmost care. He possessed a kind heart and gentle nature, living a simple and lonely life. Fate had other plans for Niulang as he encountered an injured and magical ox who possessed the power to grant wishes. In gratitude for the Cowherd's help, the ox revealed its true form and wanted to repay him.Guided by fate, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl had their paths intertwined when they met at the legendary Silver River, a vast expanse separating the heavens and the earthly realms. Struck by love at first sight, they disregarded societal boundaries and soon married in secret.Their love blossomed like the celestial flowers in the heavens, bringing joy and harmony to their lives. However, their happiness was short-lived as their transgression angered the Heavenly Emperor, who commanded the Silver River to rise and separate them forever.The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl found themselves banished and longing for each other on either side of the Silver River. Zhinü's tears of sorrow eventually caught the attention of the magpies, who took pity and formed a bridge across the river on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month each year.Legend has it that on this auspicious day, the magpies form a bridge of their wings, allowing the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd to reunite for just one fleeting night. This magical event, known as the Qixi Festival or Chinese Valentine's Day, sees the lovers meet, sharing their love and longing beneath the starlit sky.In this tale of eternal love, the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd serve as a reminder that true love knows no boundaries, not even those of celestial realms. Their story continues to inspire generations, reminding us to cherish the love we have and to never underestimate the power of love to bridge any divide.And so, the legendary tale of the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd stands as a testament to the enduring power of love, forever etched in the celestial landscape of Chinese mythology.。

Nuwa was grieved that mankind should undergo such suffering. She decided to mend the sky and end this catastrophe. She melted together various kinds of colored stones and with the molten mixture patched up the sky. Then she killed a giant turtle and used its four legs as four pillars to support the fallen part of the sky. She caught and killed a dragon and this scared the other beasts away. Then she gathered and burned a huge quantity of reeds and with the ashes stopped the flood from spreading, so that the people could live happily again.
Just before she was buried by the surging waves, her spirit turned into a beautiful bird. As it flew over the roaring sea, it cried sadly in the sound "jinwei, jingwei". That was why people called it "Jingwei".
