    1) According to Chinese mythology, Pan Gu was born in a large egg in the formless chaos before the universe was created. When he awoke, he stretched out his limbs, breaking the egg into two parts that became the sky and earth. 2) Pan Gu stood between the sky and earth, causing them to separate further each day. Over thousands of years, Pan Gu grew taller until his death formed the stars, sun, moon, mountains and rivers. 3) The goddess Nu Wa created early humans from clay but they lacked wisdom. She taught them culture and set up marriage, allowing humanity to develop over time into a civilization.
