What are some Chinese folk tales?

1. Pangu opened up the sky and opened up the earth a long, long time ago, when the sky and the earth were not yet separated and the universe was chaotic. There was a giant named Pangu, in the midst of this chaos, had been sleeping for 18,000 years.

One day, Pangu suddenly woke up. Seeing the darkness around him, he swung his big axe and slashed at the darkness in front of him. Only a loud bang was heard, and the chaos gradually separated. The light and clear things, slowly rising, into the sky; heavy and turbid things, slowly descending, into the earth.

After the separation of the sky and the earth, Pangu was afraid that they would come together again, so he held his head against the sky and stomped hard on the ground with his feet. Every day, the sky rises a ten feet, Pangu also grows higher and higher. After many years, the sky and the earth gradually took shape, and Pangu collapsed from exhaustion.

When Pangu collapsed, his body changed dramatically. The breath he exhaled became the winds of the seasons and the drifting clouds; the sound he made transformed into rumbling thunder. His eyes became the sun and the moon; his limbs, the four poles of the earth, east, west, south and north; his skin, the vast expanse of the earth, his blood, the rushing rivers, his sweat, the rain that moistens all things ......

2, the Yellow Emperor see Guangchengzi ancient immortal Guangchengzi driving Xuanhe came to Kongdong Mountain, only to see the forests and trees, green valleys dripping emerald, the Jing River and Rouge River such as the two veins around the mountain and flow, the mountains and beautiful water, picturesque, would like to live down to raise the spirit of the gas. But the shortcoming is that the Kongdong Mountain is not high enough to cut off the dust and clamor, affecting the cultivation. When the Jade Emperor found out about this, he immediately sent Erlang Zhenjun to pick a rock from Taishan Mountain to raise the height of Kongdong Mountain. Erlang Zhenjun's power is infinite, like flying, in a matter of days will be Kongdong Mountain raised to the height of the Heavenly Court permitted. Finally picked two and the house of the general size of the boulder, can not be added up, had to be thrown at the bottom of the mountain, which is today people see the "Erlang stone".

3, Huangdi dream interpretation: "Huangdi Neijing Suwen" pulse to subtle theory fragment. Talks about the relationship between the state of the body and dreaming. Personally, I think the argument here is more reliable than Zhou Gong's interpretation of dreams. The Duke of Zhou was not a professional, he had to devote most of his energy to the sinister political struggles and cumbersome rituals, so his dream interpretation was only occasionally inspired and not solid enough to be a weird story, such as dreaming of a naked woman or something like that, and then having a love affair. Mr. Qibo was different, he went all out to understand the workings of the five elements of yin and yang in the human body, further up to the spiritual level, very simple and intuitive.

4, Rayon sericulture: Rayon, also known as tired ancestors. China's ancient period characters. For the Xiling's daughter, Xuanyuan Huangdi's Yuanfei. She invented sericulture, known as Rayon began silkworms. She gave birth to two sons, Xuanhou and Changyi. Xuan clamor's son Jiao pole, Jiao pole's son for one of the five emperors of the emperor ??u; Chang Yi married Shushan's woman as his wife, gave birth to Gao Yang, inherited the world, which is one of the five emperors of the "Zhuanxu Emperor".

5, Jingwei Reclamation: is one of the ancient Chinese myths and legends. Legend has it that Jingwei was originally the youngest daughter of Yan Emperor Shennong's, named Nuwa, one day Nuwa went to the East China Sea to play, drowned in the water. After her death, her spirit was transformed into a divine bird with a flower head, white beak and red claws, which brought stones and grasses from the mountains and threw them into the East China Sea every day, and then let out the mournful cry of "Jingwei, Jingwei," as if it were calling out for itself.

Mythological stories are a kind of folk literature. The collective oral creation of the people in ancient times. It includes stories of gods and ghosts and legends of gods (ghosts) personified as heroes.

Their creation expresses the ancient people's struggle against the forces of nature and the pursuit of ideals, it is a spiritual support, human yearning and the actualization of the religious display, and it has a profound influence on the literature and art of later generations.

The creation of myths also depended on the nature of society at that time. At that time, people had to rely on the collective, *** with access to the means of subsistence, to defend against wild animals and enemies; labor income is limited, must be evenly distributed. In the primitive communal system, the main contradiction between man and nature, became the center of attention of the people. Therefore, explaining nature and subduing it became the main content of myths. At the same time, due to the unity of interest, in the collective production of the emergence of superior skills, brave and strong characters, by all members of the reverence, which was given magical powers and become gods or demi-gods. In them, the desire of primitive man to subdue nature was placed.
