the Pan Gu Abstention

        在非常非常久远的时候，天和地还没有分开，宇宙就好像一个大鸡蛋一样，黑暗混沌成一团。就在这个大鸡蛋中，盘古在悄悄地孕育着。

　　盘古在大鸡蛋中孕育着、生长着，如同睡着了一样，发出呼呼的鼾声。一年、十年、百年，转眼之间一万八千年过去了。有一天，盘古忽然醒来睁开了眼睛。但他觉得奇怪，怎么四周一片黑暗，什么也看不呢？黑暗使他闷得发慌，接着又是万分地烦恼，他实在忍不住了，向旁边一抓，竟抓到了一个大斧子。于是，他拼尽全身的力气，狠狠地向前劈去，随着山崩地裂般的一声巨响，那个曾紧紧地包着他、孕育了他的混沌的大鸡蛋被他劈裂了。

　　这个大鸡蛋中那些轻而清的东西，缓缓地向上升去，慢慢地变成了天，另外那些重而浊的东西，渐渐地沉下来，一点点地变成了地。于是，当初混沌不分的天地，就这样被盘古用大斧子给开辟出来了。

　　天和地被分开以后，盘古怕它们会再合拢起来，就用头顶着天，脚踩着地，伸直了腰杆站在天地之间，随着天地的变化而变化着。每天，天升高一丈，地加厚一丈，而盘古的身子也随之增长。就这样，一万八千年又过去了。天升得高极了，地也变得极厚了，盘古的身体也长得极为高大。

　　那么盘古到底长了多高呢？据说有九万里那么长。盘古成了巍峨的巨人。他就像一根长长的大柱子，撑在天和地的中间，不让它们再重新合拢在一起，回到那混沌黑暗中去。

　　又不知多少年过去了，盘古就是那样在孤独寂寞中辛苦地撑着天地。后来，天和地终于被固定住了，但盘古也到了筋疲力尽的时候。终于有一天，他“轰”的一声，倒在地上死去了。

　　盘古临死的时候，浑身发生了极大的变化：他口中呼出的一团团气体，变成风和云；他发出的最后声音，变成了滚过天空的隆隆雷声；他的左眼睛变成了光芒万丈的太阳；右眼睛变成了皎洁明亮的月亮；他的手足和身躯变成了大地的四极和五方的名山；他的血液变成了江河；他的筋脉变成了大道；他的肌肉变成了田地；他的头发和胡须变成了天上的星星；他的皮肤和汗毛变成了花草树木；他的牙齿、骨头、骨髓则变成了蕴藏在大地下的闪光的金属、坚硬的石头、美丽的珍珠和湿润的玉石。就连他身上的汗水也变了，变成了无尽的雨露和甘霖。

　　尽管他死去了，他也没有忘记把自己的全部留给他开创出的天和地。所以后人称赞盘古是“垂死化身”，他用了自己的整个的身体来使这新诞生的世界变得更加丰富和美丽。
            
　在位起讫：距今约400万——300万年前。
　　生卒年：混沌之初——开天辟地。
　　出生地：宇宙浑圆体中央。
　　立都：中国（太平洋西岸，亚洲东方）。
　　年号：开天辟地。
　　
　　盘古，又称盘古氏，混沌氏。传说中开天辟地创造人类世界的始祖。
　　据古史记载，三百二十六万七千年以前天地还没有形成，到处混沌一片，即分不清上下左右也辨不出东西南北，整个世界就像一个中间有核的浑圆体。
　　人类的祖先就在这核心中孕育而成。
　　人祖经过了一万八千年的孕育才有了生命。
　　当他有了知觉的那一刻，他的周围一片黑暗，什么都看不见。于是他拔下自己一颗牙齿，把它变成威力巨大的神斧，抡起来用力向周围劈砍。
　　球体破裂了，沉浮成两部分：一部分轻而清，一部分重而浊。
　　轻而清者不断上升，变成了天。
　　重而浊者不断下降，变成了地。
　　人祖就这样头顶天脚踏地的诞生于天地之间。
　　人们尊称他为盘古。把他出生的地方称作“中国”。把他出生的时代称作“开天辟地”。
　　
　　古史说：盘古在天地间不断长大，他的头在天为神，他的脚在地为圣。
　　天每日升高一丈，地每日增厚一丈，盘古每日生长一丈。
　　如此一日九变，又经过了一万八千年，天变得极高，地变得极厚，盘古的身体也变得极长。盘古就这样与天地共存了一百八十万年。
　　盘古想用自己的身体为人类创造出一个光明的世界，于是他决定结束自己的生命。
　　他在倒下去的刹那间，左眼飞上天空变成了太阳，右眼飞上天空变成了月亮，两眼中的泪水撒向天空，变成夜里的万点繁星。他的汗珠变成了地面的湖泊，他的血液变成了奔腾的江河，他的毛发变成了草原和森林。
　　从此人世间有了阳光雨露，大地上有了江河湖海，万物滋生，人类开始繁衍。
　　
　　盘古倒下时，他的头化作了东岳泰山（在山东），他的脚化作了西岳华山（在陕西），他的左臂化作南岳衡山（在湖南），他的右臂化作北岳恒山（在山西），他的腹部化作了中岳嵩山（在河南）。
　　盘古死后，人们为了纪念这位创造世界的圣祖，在南海为他修建了盘古氏之墓，方圆三百余里。传说墓中仙居着盘古氏之魂，如今广西桂林还存有盘古祠，每年都有许多人到庙里去祝祀。
　　盘古开天辟地的故事，显然是古人对人类始祖的神化，他体现出中华民族向往光明为造福人类社会无私奉献的伟大精神。是谁创造了人类社会，是劳动人民自己，劳动者在劳动中不断进化，他们用群体的智慧不仅创造了丰富的历史文化，也为后人留下来许多美好的传说。
　　
　　现代科学证明：在古史三百万年以前，地质年代属于新生代第三纪的上新世。考古年代为使用天然木石时代。人类族源属于南方古猿。社会组织形式是原始群。婚姻方式为随意杂交。由此可见，盘古时期人类的先祖（猿人）已经存在了，开天辟地只是古人对天地起源的一种大胆猜想。
　　不过，古人所推断的时间竟然大体上与科学考证相吻合，这实在让人感到吃惊。
　　盘古时期的世界考古已经有了重大发现：
　　1965年，中国地质工作者在云南省元谋盆地的大那乌，发现了两枚170万年前早期直立人的铲形门齿化石。
　　1968年，在肯尼亚的特卡那湖东部的库彼弗拉，考古界发现了距今261万年前的砾石打制的石器。
　　1972年又在其地层下35•5米处发现270万年前的人类头盖骨化石，被考古界称为KNM-ER1470号人，头骨化石的脑容量为700多毫升，肢骨和现代人相似，说明此时人类已经能够直立行走。
　　1986年岁尾，中国地质科学工作者又在云南元谋盆地发掘出7枚人齿化石，经专家科学检测，确定为距今270万年以前的人齿化石。
　　1987年，云南省联合考古队再次对元谋县的竹栅、小河地区进行考古发掘，先后出土了人猿头骨一具（含8枚牙齿）、上颌骨1件（含3枚牙齿）、下颌骨2件(含6枚牙齿）、单个牙齿377枚。考古队将其命名为“东方人”牙齿化石。专家认为：此次在小河村蝴蝶梁子发现的古猿牙齿化石系“蝴蝶腊玛古猿”（新种）距今约为400万——300万年以前，它是“东方人”的直系先祖。
　　蝴蝶人（300万年前）、东方人（270万年前）、元谋人（170万年前）都具有铲形门齿特征，他们都生活在我国云南省境内。这就有力证明：他们是****人种的祖先，也就是中华人种的祖先。
　　盘古是远古时代神化了的先祖，是中华人种之根，是中华民族之魂，也是世界上一切****人种共同的祖先。

　　中国古代传说时期中开天辟地的神。盘古最早见于三国时徐整著的《三五历纪》。其后，题为梁任昉撰的《述异记》称盘古身体化为天地各物。《五运历年纪》（不详撰成年代或云亦徐整著）及《古小说钩沉》辑的《玄中记》亦有类似记载。
　　盘古【盘古的传说—天地开辟】
　　传说在天地还没有开辟以前，宇宙就像是一个大鸡蛋一样混沌一团。有个叫做盘古的巨人在这个“大鸡蛋”中一直酣睡了约18000年后醒来，发现周围一团黑暗，盘古张开巨大的手掌向黑暗劈去，一声巨响，“大鸡蛋”碎了，千万年的混沌黑暗被搅动了，其中又轻又清的东西慢慢上升并渐渐散开，变成蓝色的天空；而那些厚重混浊的东西慢慢地下降，变成了脚下的土地。盘古站在这天地之间非常高兴。盘古很怕天地再合拢起来还变成以前的样子，他就用手撑着青天，双脚踏着大地，让自己的身体每天长高一丈，天地也随着他的身体每天增高一丈。这样又过了十万八千年，天越来越高，地越来越厚，盘古的身体长得有90000里那么长了。
　　盘古凭借着自己的神力终于把天地开辟出来了。可是盘古也累死了。盘古临死前，他嘴里呼出的气变成了四季飘动的云；声音变成了天空的雷霆；他的左眼变成了太阳，右眼变成了月亮；头发和胡须变成了夜空的星星；他的身体变成了东、西、南、北四极和雄伟的三山五岳；血液变成了江河；筋脉变成了道路；肌肉变成了农田；牙齿、骨骼和骨髓变成了地下矿藏；皮肤和汗毛变成了大地上的草木，汗水变成了雨露。 传说，盘古的精灵魂魄也在他死后变成了人类。所以，都说人类是世上的万物之灵。

　　相传盘古开天之前，一片混荒，万天混沌，万物犹蒙沌！盘古想开天之后，怎么办呢？把自己的身体变成天地万物。那自己没有传人怎么办？想把自己的本领和性格传给自己的后人。他在把自己的身体全部变化成天地万物后，剩下眼睛与头发。等眼睛化做日月星辰之后，他把自己的眼泪藏起来，还有自己的两个头发也藏起来，等过了不知道数年，有亿亿亿……年，当有熊国的国君少典从一个小山丘经过时候，不小心碰到了盘古的眼泪。天空长虹贯日，气象万千，祥瑞祥和，第一个存在的民族就是伏羲一族,所以伏羲称为人祖，意思是人类始祖，人类始祖经过了若干年后，其中一个民族少典就有了孩子。这个孩子就是轩辕黄帝，他取代了炎帝统一了华夏民族。成为中国最有名的国君——黄帝。
[编辑本段]【盘古天地开辟歌】
　　有关盘古的神话，最早在我国南方少数民族民间广泛流传。苗，瑶向来崇奉盘古(也有作瓠)，把盘古看作自己的祖先。壮、侗、仫佬等民族也盛传盘古，把盘古看作开天辟地的人类始祖。“今南海有盘古氏亘三百余里，俗云后人追葬盘古氏之魂也。桂林有盘古氏庙，今人祝祀”①。远在魏晋南北朝时代，在有壮族先民居住的海南一带，就有追葬盘古氏之魂的“墓地”；特别是当时作为壮族聚居之地的桂林(治所在今柳州市东南)竞立有盘古氏的庙宇。人们为之“祝祀”。可见盘古在古代壮族人民的心目中也是很受崇奉的形象。有一篇神话的大意是：最初天地浑沌象一个大鸡蛋盘古就生存在中间，后来大鸡蛋爆裂了，于是天地形成了。日月、江河、风云、草木等等是盘古死后身躯分化而成的：“气作风云、声为雷霆、左眼为目、右眼为月、四肢五体为四极五狱，血液为江河，筋脉为地里，肌肉为田土，发髭为星辰，皮毛为草木，齿骨为金石，精髓为珠玉，汗流为雨泽,身之诸虫，因风所感，化为黎虻②。”这种说法，古籍文献也有记载。如“昔盘古氏之死也。，头为四岳，目为日月，脂膏为江海，毛发为草木”③。桂西一带，今天还在民间流传着这样的《盘古开天辟地歌》：
　　盘古开天地，
　　造山坡河流，
　　划洲来住人，
　　造海来蓄水。
　　盘古开天地，
　　分山地平原，
　　开辟三岔路，
　　四处有路通。
　　盘古开天地，
　　造日月星辰，
　　因为有盘古，
　　人才得光明④。
　　这首歌中的盘古已被神化，具有超人的神奇力量，为人类开辟天地，并带来光明。我们从古籍记载和口头流传，可看出壮族人们远古神话在世流传中演进的痕迹。(引自黄现璠著《壮族通史》)

　　传说天地混沌之初，盘古由睡梦醒来，见天地昏暗，遂拿一巨大之斧劈开天与地，自此才有人类世界，此斧拥有分天开地，穿越太虚之力，威力不下轩辕剑。传说中的上古十大神器之一。
[编辑本段]【盘古大陆】
　　大陆是指在古生代至中生代期间形成的那一大片陆地。而这个名字是由提出大陆漂移学说的德国地质学家阿尔弗雷德·魏格纳所提出的。
　　现今地球有七块大陆，更早的六亿五千万年前，相当于地质时代的埃迪卡拉纪（震旦纪）时，曾形成一次超大陆，这个大陆在一亿年後开始分裂，在泥盆纪时，由于大陆间彼此的碰撞，约在二亿四千五百万年前地球上的陆地又相连在一起，此时相当于地质时代的三叠纪，科学家将之称为大陆
　　大陆经过三个阶段的分裂，形成现今大陆的分布情形。
　　第一阶段：距今一亿八千万年前，侏罗纪中叶。
　　第二阶段：由於今北美东岸，非洲西北岸和大西洋中央的火成活动，将北美推向西北方。
　　第三阶段：南美和北美的分离，形成墨西哥湾，南极和马达加斯加边界的火山活动，使西印度洋逐渐生成。
　　由于板块运动不断地进行，地质学家预测大陆将会再度形成一个超大陆，这个超大陆被称为终极！预测在二亿五千万年后形成。
[编辑本段]【盘古与元始天尊】
　　元始天尊是道教最高神灵“三清”尊神之一，生于太无之先，禀自然之气，初称元始天王。东晋葛洪的《枕中书》称：“昔二仪未分，溟滓鸿蒙，未有成形。天地日月未具，状如鸡子，混沌玄黄。已有盘古真人，天地之精，自号元始天王，游乎其中”。元始天王，开天辟地，治世成功以后，蜕去躯壳，一灵不昧，****空中，见圣女太元，喜其贞洁，即化成青光投入其口。圣女怀孕十二年，始化生于背膂之间，言语行动常有彩云护体。因其前身是盘古、元始天王，就称为元始天尊。《历世神仙体道通鉴》称：“元者，本也；始者，初也，先天之气也。此气化为开辟世界之人，即为盘古；化为主持天界之祖，即为元始。”
　　居天最高：齐梁高道陶弘景编定之《真灵位业图》称，神灵所居之处是“玉清三元宫”，元始天尊居其“上第一中位”
　　，即三十六天中之玉清境，元始天尊位在天之最高位，即三十五天之上。玉清境内，有紫云之阁，碧霞为城。众神仙按
　　时上玉清境朝拜元始天尊。
　　秘道度仙：《隋书经籍志》称元始天尊以天尊之体，常存不灭，每至天地初开，即授以秘道，开劫度人。“所度皆诸天 仙上品，有太上老君、太上丈人、天真皇人、五方天帝及诸仙官”。
　　道教关于元始天尊与盘古的演化过程：太上老君一共81化，老子是第十七化——老君生于天地之先，空洞之中。所谓空洞，便是真一之气，此一气生后九十九万亿九十九万岁而生上三气，每气又各相去九十九万亿九十九万岁，三气相合，生无上，也就是虚皇天尊(元始天尊的真寂不动之身，“真灵位业图”第一中位“上合虚皇道君应号元始天尊”便是此义) ，无上生后，又经过如上的岁数，生中三气，每气又各相去九十九万亿九十九万岁，三气相合，生玄老，也就是元始天尊。玄老生后，又经过如上的岁数，生下三气，三合成德，生太上，也就是太上玉晨大道君。道君生后，八十一万亿八十一万岁而生前三气，每气又各相去八十一万亿八十一万岁，三气相合，生太上老君。老君生后，才有太易，太初，太始，太素，太极这五运的天地变化。这是第一化。
　　第二化：空洞之中，又生太无，太无之内生玄元始三气，三气混沌，凝结变化，化生玄妙玉女，也就是无上元君。老君于是化作五色弹丸，流入玉女口中，积八十一年而生，不过此时，还是天地未分。老君生后，便分辟三气，其中轻气上升为天，重气下沉为地。中气化为水气，化生万物。
　　第三化：太虚之气往来乱射，经百亿万气之后，其气才慢慢的往来流行，又号弥罗万梵之气。又经过了九万九千九百九十九亿气之后，结吉祥之气，成一圣人，自号元始天王( 这是元始天尊的化身)。同时生五老(五行之主) ，立年号龙汉。又经如上气数，化生太上道君，立年号赤明。同时生九老，分为九天。又经如上气数，再生太上老君，立年号上皇，时生八公。老君又结阴阳二气，分布天地，万物才齐备。
[编辑本段]【“盘古庙”的由来和历史】
　　“盘古庙”的由来和发展
　　1、《三五历纪》记载：大禹同伯益民治水，在开挖徙骇河时建立殿堂，纪念盘古。
　　2、《元史·本纪·世族七》记：世祖十五年夏四月乙卯，修会川县“盘古王祠”祀之。
　　3、明永乐四年重修，成化元年知县刘素再修，（二十年后倒塌）。弘治十四年知县周忠，易小以大，易甓以石，易涂泥而金铁之，历时四年而工成。
　　4、清康熙二十七年因河水汴刷庙毁，故南迁河西，并有传“盘古墓在水中，又石棺，铁锁系之”之记。但是新建的盘古庙规模缩小了很多。
　　5、中华民国五年盘古毁于天火。主持僧本信信苦形（用两根铁丝穿在脚后跟的筋骨之间，用一条铁链再连在一起，以示自己有罪带镣），徙步去天津斋化。得津沽巨商宁世福等八家施舍，遂于民国八年重修，历时十年。不仅殿堂比以前又小了不少，而且因资金不足，有些工序未能如愿便草草收工。
　　1937年9月18日，几名日军占领盘古殿顶，向百姓开**，后进驻伪军，建立据点。在1946年秋，青县人民武装攻克盘古据点，盘古整个盘古庙毁于一旦。可谓“建于战乱，毁于战乱。”
　　6、1987年秋盘古人自发成立“盘古庙筹建委员会”。借村民一处，权作“盘古庙堂”。92年重修盘古墓，建了盘古墓碑亭。2005年再度粉刷、修整。
　　（建国后盘古庙的三大殿被拆除将木材用于了建设县政府剧院。所剩房社成为新成立的盘古人民公社的办公所在地。2008年在道路阔宽过程中，所剩房社也被拆除。）
　　盘古庙的现在和被毁之前
　　现在的盘古可以用一首诗简单的描述：
　　盘古深潭
　　王家彦 青县城人
　　曲径孤村古庙残，下临潭水拥湍澜。
　　涛惊不见鼋鼍窟，崖峭那寻鸳鸯滩。
　　漠漠断碑横草底，苍苍老树入云端。
　　烟波日暮渔人去，明月一湾万丈寒。
　　现在的盘古庙由一两个村民看守着，当朝拜者步入万有之祖“盘古”祠时，首先映入眼帘的是“望之俨然，即之也温”的盘古圣像。拜毕，方见神龛两侧的对联，即
　　上联： 日(ri) 日日(zhao) 晶(jing) 日日日日(hua) 朝 天 地
　　下联： 月 (yue)朋(peng) 月月月(suo)月月月月(luo) 明 乾 坤
　　此联为邑人戴绍惠老先辈所撰。其含义还要从盘古说起。相传，盘古辟开混沌，为使宇宙光明永固，便置十日十月于太空，日为阳，月为阴，即是阴阳，也是夫妻。上联的“朝”字即含此义，让它们轮流值日，日出为昼，月出为夜，十日一轮。到了夏仲康时，十日并出，灼热难当，草木枯焦，这时有穷国9在今山东德州以南）君“后羿”，射落了九个太阳，解救了火热中的黎民。这就是神话传说中的“后羿射日”。天上丧夫的九个月亮，自然闭门不出，不再为容了。只剩下一个日，一个月。
　　盘古庙被毁之前：
　　被毁前的盘古庙，状似北京故宫三大殿，石、砖、木结构，黄色琉璃瓦封顶，金碧辉煌，蔚为壮观，二十里外清晰可见。
　　前殿为盘古殿亦称大殿，建在青石砌起的高台上，围以汉白玉栏杆，占地一田三分，台阶十八级，为十八层地狱之说，殿高三丈六尺，象征三百六十周天，飞檐椽子一百零八根，按三十六天罡，七十二地煞而布，从庙的前后左右四方数，每天才椽二十八根。每根椽头吊铜铃一枚，照工、商、角、征、羽五音而置，有“微风摇铃天动乐”之美誉。殿顶黄瓦有“光洒殿顶地生辉”之称。四条斜脊置彩龙、凤、狮子、河马等动物，形神各有千秋。四角拱斗悬挑，若雏燕临空，似天宫琼阁坠落凡尘，常呈腾反之势。
　　殿内，盘古坐像，高一丈零八寸（为盘古万八千岁之说），铁质涂金，额角披叶（项叶十片为天干，腰围十二片为地支）手托日月。龙眉虎目，皂白分明，隆准海口，大耳有轮，望之俨然，细瞻，既传开拓者之神威，又现祥慈之淑气。胸阔能容天地，乳丰润育生灵，可谓形神尽善，妙绝尘寰。
　　另据《皇朝通志》载：康熙三十六年为盘古庙立御碑一座。上注：明铁铸涂金盘古像，为弘治年所造历四百七十年，其形外表丝毫无损，内无半点锈迹。
　　中殿，亦称接引殿。青砖蓝瓦，古朴庄重。殿内正面供奉：“释迦牟尼”贴金泥塑像，两侧十八罗汉，神形妙趣横生，壁绘玉宇琼阁，若阴若现于云雾之中。佛祖身后立一板墙，断一殿为两宫，后宫塑背南面北股坐莲盆，普渡众生的观音菩萨，代替了炼石补天的女娲，但同为女性，唯增玉女金童。
　　后殿，亦称：“三教殿”。青砖灰瓦，古朴典雅。殿内改禹为龙王，增孔子、老子，老君居中，左龙王，右孔圣。
　　三殿中的配祭安排，融会了宗教文化、民族文化为一体，又反映了原始的纯真。
　　三教殿前，合欢树两株，干粗盈围。花期朵朵朱樱映日，新叶如葱，昼展夜合。殿后悬钟古槐枝繁叶茂。三大殿两侧为参天松柏，参差碑林占据。禅房、经房、库房亦在东侧。
　　盘古庙群体占地一十八亩，围红墙，高九尺。山门对联：
　　（上） 开天辟地，位列三才而立已。
　　（下） 育世长民，首出万物以为君。
　　山门照壁，高一丈八尺，彩瓷上绘制八仙过海的图画，栩栩如生。
　　盘古庙会每年两次，三月初三和九月初九两次举行，（始于三国魏）庙会正期四天延期或十晌或半月不定又有唱戏的、说书的、马戏杂耍等助兴。期间善男信女、寺院僧道、商贾游客车马舟楫云集于此。
　　五、盘古迷哦重修计划和面临的问题
　　无论过去如何辉煌，但是现在展现在人们眼前的都只是一片废墟和一座由单独的房间组成的小庙。这很让里人伤感和愧疚。重修盘古庙，为盘古再造金身的呼声一直在民间传响。
　　值得高兴的是在各方的努力下，青县人民政府通过了《以“精神投资”为先导，启动青县经济腾飞》的重修盘古庙振兴盘古文化的决议。
　　盘古重修蓝图：
　　主体工程占地270亩，以九尺红墙围之。首为“盘古祠”（近代被毁前规格），次第“娲皇宫”、“禹王殿”、“灵宵殿”、“封神阁”、“道院”、“儒院”、“观音殿”最后是“盘古文院”。并建立“茶香斋”、“妙语斋”、“泼墨亭”、“太始宫”。
　　山门增加一对对联：
　　上联： 大凡生灵皆有本、生之本乎，灵之本乎，合二为一。
　　下联： 万有之源始欲斯，天始于斯，地始于新，一分为二。
　　重修“盘古墓”再凿“盘古潭”，筑“四季阳春”之山，开“幽园信步”之地，兴一年两度的盘古庙会。
　　田中角荣与盘古庙
　　1940年秋，根据报告有个日本军官到盘古庙烧香，活动在盘古庙附近的游击队接到要活捉的通知。于是展开了行动，一切都很顺利，但是追到大庙时有一个叫田中的军官找不到了，原来盘古铁像是中空的，田中藏在了盘古的肚子中得以幸免。
　　后来在1972年日本首相田中角荣访华时向周总理提出要到河北青县的盘古庙降香还愿。此后在田中角荣去世后其女儿继承田中遗愿要重修盘古庙，在九十年代左右曾经出巨资给青县政府要求重修盘古庙，但是青县政府挪用了这笔钱，最后只在县城修建了一个盘古市场（后更名青县蔬菜批发市场），修盘古庙的事情被一直搁置了下来。
　　现在向盘古村的老人提到此事时，盘古的老人们会很高兴的给你将，并推测在正式修盘古庙时田中角荣的后代一定还会出资相助。
　　盘古碑记
　　明弘治谏议大夫左长史翰林检讨马政撰文。
　　盘古氏，人祖也。生于混沌之初，鸿蒙未判之先。穴居而野处，草衣而木食，污尊而抔饮。当此之时也，无三光五岳之名，无三皇五帝之作，无三坟五典之书，列于太易、太初、太始、太素之说也。盘古氏，生参三才而赞两仪，子三皇而孙五帝，盖自是而人极始立，人道始明，人文始著。故曰：一气未分道在天地，两仪既判，道在圣人，盘古氏以之，自是而有卦画，而有结绳，而有网罟人制，何者不自盘古氏肇邪？自是而有耒耜 ，而有衣裳，而有律吕之音，何者不自盘古氏来耶。史弁 三皇，书冠五帝，古今上下知有三皇五帝，而不知有盘古氏，岂荒远在所略耶！侧闻 ，万物本乎天，人本乎祖，不有我祖，何开我人。岂可使古今上下知有我人而不知有我祖也！茫茫堪舆，俯仰无垠，知者盖寡，谁其貌 之。青实故虚也，在邑南十有五里，邃 故迹可寻，第恐庄列之言涉于虚，史传之纪沦于妄，夷考其实，有庙在里，有墓在沟，突兀如昔；自有国有家而即有也。皆青人之所见闻者，矧可绎思 。走童而谒，尚记陈容古貌，精****人。土僧传说：杨仆等建造，弘治戊申刘侯视篆，得陈景春氏作俑，而一新之，犹未备也。讫周侯下车，得孙克晖作倡而大新之。易小以大，易甓 以石，易涂泥而金铁之，使万古不易之基，一旦而改观。祝之而雨，祷之而晴，报应如响，谁之绩欤？谓可无记，以垂永久，昭后来也。记欤，敢从而铭之，铭曰；盘古有庙，青人瞻眺；盘古有像，青人仰望；盘古有沟，青人夷游；盘古有墓，青人慨慕；盘古有门，青人见闻；盘古有里，青人振起；盘古有名，青人勒铭。
　　弘治十七年岁在甲子春正月丁丑立石。
[编辑本段]【盘古文化的根源地】
　　河南省桐柏县被成为盘古文化的根源地。当地的“盘古庙会”被确定为国家第二批非物质文化遗产之一。2008年，桐柏还启动了“盘古创世神话传说群”国家非物质文化遗产的申报工作。2005年3月，桐柏被中国民间文艺家协会命名为“中国盘古文化之乡”。2006年10月30日，桐柏举办了“全球华人首次祭祀盘古大典”，并将每年农历九月初九定为祭祀盘古日。为此，中国民协、河南省民协与桐柏县人民政府将于今年10月7日农历九月初九在桐柏县共同举办中国·桐柏盘古文化论坛暨中国淮河源民俗博物馆挂牌仪式。
　　支撑“万代盘古根源桐柏”论点的五个标准是：一是图腾标准。古籍中盘古神话说“盘古氏龙首……”显然，古代先民崇拜的是龙，认为祖先盘古就是龙的后代，所以，盘古子孙就以龙为图腾标示，千古传承。有关盘古和龙的传说也很多。桐柏山盘古塑像的头部有两只龙角，与“盘古氏龙首”之说如出一辙，而其它的盘古神话流传区别是凤图腾，鸟、鸡图腾，与龙图腾格格不入。具有龙图腾特征的桐柏盘古神话则比较正宗。二是地理标准。古籍中关于盘古神话的记载最早莫过于三国吴人徐整的《三五历纪》、《五运历年记》，其中涉及地名的只有一处，为“盘古死后……血为淮渎……”明显将盘古与淮河发源地相联系。明代学者李梦阳撰文《大复山赋》时，将桐柏山水帘洞以西的一道酷似人形的山脉称为盘古，“昔盘古氏作兹焉，用宅……”清代学者贡愈淳作《桐柏山赋》曰：“盘古开天而首出……”明确指出桐柏山是阴阳未分、大水茫茫的混沌之时盘古首出开天的地方。唐朝、宋朝编修的《元丰九域志》曰：“桐柏山，淮水所出。淮渎庙，盘古庙。”纵观千古典籍，遍查全国盘古神话流传区的方志，唯有桐柏山、淮河源、水帘洞的地理名词与盘古神话密切关联。同时，桐柏山盘古躺卧处还存有一座盘古庙，许多地方还保留着盘古山、盘古洞、盘古斧、盘古井等与盘古神话密切相关的实景地名。三是民俗标准。桐柏民间流传着许多习俗，可以说是原始盘古神话的遗存。如神话传说中，说人类之初是两条鱼变成了两只猿，这两只猿就是“阴阳之始”的盘古夫妇。盘古崇敬祖先，就有了盘古抱二鱼以示崇敬之说。后来，盘古抱鱼之说就形象地演化成了太极图。人们效仿祖先，就形成了民间挂太极图之俗。桐柏民间现在还习惯在门头上、窗户上、院落影壁墙上挂太极图，以示吉利，并有希冀祖先庇佑以辟邪之意。桐柏民俗中嫁女送竹竿、玩狮子吞小孩、玩青龙火龙救众生等都包含着耐人寻味的盘古神话故事元素。四是敬祖标准。在神话流传区，人们对神话人物崇敬程度的高低是判断神话产生根源地是与否的标准之一。在桐柏，人们对祖先盘古的崇敬程度达到了顶点。如桐柏民间传说中正月初一是盘古的生日，这一天祖先盘古要回来过年，需要清静，所以在桐柏初一到初十是不能进行闹新春的游艺活动的，直到正月初十以后才能开始，否则是犯了大忌的。另外，走遍全国盘古神话流传区，民间称盘古为王、为帝的多，唯有桐柏山居民称盘古爷和盘古奶，这也反映了桐柏山居民敬祖之意的亲切和深刻。五是活化石标准。现在还挂在人们口头上的神话，被专家称为“活化石”。它的数量多少反映出当地人们对盘古神话的知晓度，这也是判断盘古神话传说根源地的依据之一。经过开展民间文学普查工作，桐柏县搜集出上百种盘古神话。在桐柏的大街小巷、村村庄庄，不管是老年人还是年轻人，不论是干部、工人还是农民，都能讲上一段，说上几句盘古神话，都是盘古开天辟地、捏泥造人、滚磨成亲、造衣服、驯牛、降龙、治水、造酒、造农具等，以桐柏山为中心方圆几百里的区域成为盘古神话“活化石”的丰富蕴藏地。这种特有的文化现象，就是盘古文化根源地的特征。

“what place is this?”Dugu has opened the eye strenuously, discovered that oneself places in unexpectedly a piece of starry sky, but this piece of starry sky dodges shoots is light of the purple. Inspects own body, discovered already does not have a damage, the skill also restores almost.
One reactivated once again!
“, you have awaked!”The illusory sound from remote eternal boundless in conveys leisurely as if together, also appears the incomparable vicissitudes is dignified. Afterward the person's shadow obviously melts together comes out, is the horizon unexpectedly!
Dugu: “horizon eldest brother, what place is our in?”Dugu is surprised to Forber's appearance, also exclaimed in surprise that repairs in him is peerless.
Horizon: “here is my world, is also my universe!”
Dugu has publicized the mouth: “your universe!”
Horizon: “, my universe. Today leads you to come here is must tell you some eternal Mixin, place of danger in the Pan Gu layer on layer, I can not but lead you actually to come here, but place of taboo the Pan Gu is extremely formidable I to be also unable to support the very long time, many matters can only recount simply. Lets you have a look at I 1,000,000,000,000 year ago the true self!”The word, the white hair like snow's horizon personal appearance distortion, turned another person's appearance, this person of Dugu also knew.
Dugu: “Forber! Originally horizon eldest brother is Forber, Forber is horizon eldest brother! `the ends of the earth now still, the enormous changes wrought by time ten thousand samsara ' this were just were leaving Chinese catalpa Tongcheng went to the Excalibur mountain village time, I asked that your past, you once to me said that had not thought here bread contained your name.”
The horizon nodded said: “you said right, but I let you look that these 1,000,000,000,000 year ago the face, is not because I am Forber, but is wants to tell you it 1,000,000,000,000 year ago the name: Great wild goose honored!
I then am god Wang Fu think of the language to come the great wild goose which place of the Pan Gu must look honored!
the `ends of the earth still, the enormous changes wrought by time ten thousand samsara ' these words contain now also continue are my horizon this name. Place's of outside Pan Gu many matter Fu Siyu already had already said with you, how clear matter again do I speak she not to you.
In that extremely remote past, the universe initially became, did not divide the world, only had the chaos, was the antique time.
After antique, then had the `world yellow and black, the universe great antiquity ' the name ancient times time, the world starts to form. Was born the day to be unreliable, the glutinous rehmannia, space Hong, eon uncultivated land four governed the sun, the tunnel, the space road, an eon four big ancient road, has formed the world universe basic movement rule as well as the skeleton. At the same time, ancient times essence of the chaos also bred a chaos race's emperor. This time is born the wisdom body is the ancient road level powerhouse!
After ancient times, was the antiquity time, the world already at the beginning of became. Roads of the golden wooden water and fire ballad thunder seven element are born with large quantities of chaos clansmen in this time breeding, these are the level powerhouses. Because is the world universe is born naturally, therefore also calls it `the first sun level '.
The antiquity time, the world in the process which forms, but also has produced the different layer boundary, is called the world of mortals by the practice, the paradise, the god to plunder, the Saint day as well as finally extremely the chaos extremely territory
    

 I was quite special, am born in ancient times and between the antiquity time.
        After antiquity time, only then has the following other all preliminary high-level life body, the wisdom life body to appear, some unceasingly will even realize from experience the practice, by will stiffen weakly. Their birth is not the world universe breeds, but is the self-evolution, a generation of multiplication comes. The very multi-channel level powerhouse also wants the magical powers which professor they some becomes aware.
         The human, is most typical representative. Is in all life body the potential is biggest. Human's shape is also in all shapes is most perfect, outside all person's high-level life body, can practice person's shape finally, like this continues to practice is more effective.
        Human, after cultivating true virtue crosses successfully another day plunders will become the immortal, after the immortal continues practices crosses successfully another day plunders, to become the god, after the god continues practices crosses successfully another day plunders, to become the Saint, after the Saint continues practices crosses successfully another day plunders, to become the day, but also some even may after the day level continues to practice peeps the world highest good to become the level powerhouse, they calls it after `the sun level '!
           Certainly, after can build, the sun level's powerhouse's proportion is very low, but their cardinal number is actually big, looks like them to have reproduces this kind of instinct to be the same, they also very much like developing their inheritance. Along with time passing, the powerhouse who the practice comes can be getting more and more, the influence is getting more and more huge.
              World universe nature breeding produces the ancient road, the sun level powerhouse often has first is insufferably arrogant the mental disposition, in the powerhouse who the practice comes, also has many people to have challenges the powerhouse to surmount the promotion repairs for the hobby unceasingly, regards as by oneself “the ants” “the dogs and hay worthless thing” the base and low thing, dares to challenge itself unexpectedly, this erupted the conflict on the nature. Especially looks like sun this kind of control to want the greatly strengthened ancient road powerhouse, how can tolerate!

Moreover, these practice come the powerhouses compare between other any powerhouse to want to unite, also has the cohesive force very much. Often a top powerhouse, for example the level master, will lead large quantities of secondary powerhouses, like the day level, the Saint level, the god level powerhouse, with the ancient road level powerhouse, the  first sun level powerhouse will launch the war, will evolve become as `so much  finally a war '!
          Afterward, the ancient road level, in sun level powerhouse's many powerhouses also start to step onto road of the first unity, most unites naturally is the chaos clansman. However, their unity also is only appears in the war time.
            
               From the first start, the victory is the ancient road level, first one side the sun level powerhouse this, this naturally will also cause to win in the future also belongs to them. When the practice already had the threat to oneself, they will start to extinguish kill the motion, will be called `to extinguish the world ', 100,000,000,000 year about time will develop one time, these 100,000,000,000 years is also called `to plunder '!
            when  Extinguishes of the world, the world myriad things, the universe starry sky, the big piece  by the disintegration, all approaching is returned to the antiquity, the ancient times even to enter the close antique time the condition. The surviving powerhouse is pleasantly surprised the discovery, returns after that kind of time condition, their strength can better obtain the enhancement, moreover is enhances largely.
          However, this also caused the ancient road level powerhouse to have the contradiction with the first sun level powerhouses, the ancient road level master naturally is hoped that the return more remote was better, but the sun level powerhouse might not such think first, if struck back the ancient times time not to mean that they are also extinguished have killed! After striking back, needs the similar resources powerhouse, also will have competes, each benefit dispute produced.
            At the same time, this batch of ancient road level, the sun level powerhouses discovered first, these practice come after the powerhouse is extinguished kills, the world universe overall resources increase. The day level, then had a side world which one practice comes, a piece of world; Says the level, had own or several microcosms, is also the potential surface or the galaxy even galaxy group, the galaxy group also becomes the constellation. Oneself has world universe bigger consummation, then the strength is stronger, this is between all road level powerhouse a judgment strong and the weak most important sign.
              Therefore, after this batch of ancient road level, the sun level powerhouse only then a time extinguishes the world first, also allows the world myriad things rebirth, also presents one group of practice powerhouse. In order to accelerate this process, even uses the magical powers to be epoch-making, makes the myriad things life, and passes to them to practice the law, will let them will soon become enough, oneself can quicker the resources which will obtain formidable then needs.

    盘古的传说——历史记载汇集


    天地浑沌如鸡子，盘古生其中。万八千岁，天地开辟，阳清为天，阴浊为地。盘古在其中，一日九变，神于天，圣于地。天日高一丈，地日厚一丈，盘古日长一丈，如此万八千岁。天数极高，地数极深，盘古极长。后乃有三皇。数起于一，立于三，成于五，盛于七，处于九，故天去地九万里。

《艺文类聚》卷----引《五运历年纪》

    天气蒙鸿，萌芽兹始，遂分天地，肇立乾坤，启阴感阳，分布元气，乃孕中和，是为人也。首生盘古，垂死化身；气成风云，声为雷霆，左眼为日，右眼为月，四肢五体为四极五岳，血液为江河，筋脉为地里，肌肉为田土，发髭为星辰，皮毛为草木，齿骨为金石，精髓为珠玉，汗流为雨泽，身之诸虫，因风所感，化为黎氓。

《绎史》卷----引《五运历年纪》

    盘古之君，龙首蛇身，嘘为风雨，吹为雷电，开目为昼，闭目为夜。死后骨节为山林，体为江海，血为淮渎，毛发为草木。

《广博物志》卷九行《五运历年纪》

    昔盘古氏之死也，头为四岳，目为日月，脂膏为江海，毛发为草木。秦汉间俗说：盘古氏头为东岳，腹为中岳，左臂为南岳，右臂为北岳，足为西岳。先儒说：盘古氏泣为江河，气为风，目瞳为电。古说：盘古氏喜为睛，怒为阴。吴楚间说：盘古氏夫妻，阴阳之始也。今南海有盘古氏墓，亘三百里，俗云后人追葬盘古之魂也。桂林有盘古祠，今人祝祀，南海有盘古国，今人皆以盘古为姓。盘古氏，天地万物之祖也，而生物始于盘古。

《述异记》卷上

    元者，本也。始者，初也，先天之气也。此气化为开辟世界之人，即为盘古；化为主持天界之祖；即为元始。

选自《历神仙通鉴》卷一

    盘古将身一伸，天即渐高，地便坠下。而天地更有相连者，左手执凿，右手持斧，或用斧劈，或以凿开。自是神力，久而天地乃分。二气升降，清者上为天，浊者下为地，自是混沌开矣。

    天地合闭……就象个大西瓜，合得团团圆圆的，包罗万物在内，计一万零八百年，凡一切诸物，皆溶化其中矣。止有金木水火土五者混于其内，硬者如瓜子，软者如瓜瓤，内有青黄赤白黑五色，亦溶化其中。合闭已久，若不得开，却得一个盘古氏，左手执凿，右手执斧，犹如剖瓜相似，辟为两半。上半渐高为天，含青黄赤白黑，为五色祥云；下半渐低为地．亦含青黄赤白黑，为五色石泥。硬者带去上天，人观之为星，地下为石，星石总是一物，若不信，今有星落地下，若人掘而观之，皆同地下之石。然天下亦有泉水，泉水无积处，流来人间，而注大海。

盘古的传说——盘古开天
河南泌阳县民间传说

    相传盘古兄妹是混沌以前的人。那时候天下人口密集，瞒心昧己，见利忘义，骂天骂地，社会混乱，老天爷得知要下场暴雨，发场洪水，来个天塌地陷，彻底把世界冲洗干净。可是转念一想：天地毁灭之后，人类绝迹，万物消失，世界还象个什么样子？想到此，就派太白金星带领天兵天将到凡间查访，寻得世间最好的人，保留一至两个，流传后代。
    太白金星在一个山脚下访出了一家复姓盘古的兄妹二人。他俩父母早丧，以打柴为主。二人心性善良，忠厚老实，对人慈善，太白仙人报于玉帝后又领旨下凡考验盘古兄妹来了。
    盘古兄妹打柴时，经常路过一座寺院。寺院门前一尊石狮子，高大雄伟，张着嘴两人并排可以走进去。兄妹二人每次路过那里，总要停下来，摸摸头，摸摸尾，摸摸身子，摸摸腿。那一天兄妹正在石狮子跟前休息，从寺院内走出一位须发如银，衣服褴褛，手扶拐杖的老和尚来到盘古兄妹面前恳求：“我们寺院没有吃的了，年轻徒弟都走了，我走不动，已经饿了整整8天，求求你们每天给我拿两个馍吃吃！我要不在家，你们就把馍放在石狮子嘴里，我自己去取，以免误了你们上山打柴。”兄妹二人看到老和尚面黄肌瘦的样子，便点头答应了。从此，兄妹二人采野果，挖野菜吃。把省下来的两个馍按时放到石狮子嘴里。过了一段时间，老和尚从寺里出来，很诚恳地对他俩说：“你们兄妹是善良人，我告诉你们一个消息，不久就要天塌地陷，要把作恶多端、欺骗百姓造下大孽的人消灭干净。你二人心地好，要防备着，从现在起你们注意狮子的眼睛，什么时候它的眼睛红了，你们就钻到狮子嘴里去避难，千万要记牢。”兄妹二人正想再问，老和尚袍袖一甩，转眼没有踪影。
    六月的太阳像火一样照在地上，久旱无雨，草木枯萎，坑河见底，土地干裂，人们在痛苦的挣扎着。一日忽然雷电交加，狂风怒吼，彤云滚滚象一匹发狂的野马，使人胆战心惊。兄妹二人急忙收拾柴担转家。二人路过石狮子跟前发现石狮子眼睛通红，知道大势不好，扔下柴担，慌慌张张跟回村里报信了。村里人认为是胡扯八道，谁也不去躲避。盘古兄妹无奈就离开村子跑到狮子眼前，钻进了狮子嘴里。这时，狮子嘴一含，腾空而起，唿哨而去。
    兄妹二人从石狮子牙缝向外观望，只见彤云翻滚，洪水泛滥，天地混为一潭，一场可怕的灾难降临人间，忽地震天动地的一声巨响，山崩了，地陷下，天塌了，日月失去光明，天和地化为灰烬。整个自然界毁灭了。
    兄妹二人吓得挤在一起，往石狮子肚子里钻。当他们扭头往里看时，惊呆了。原来狮子肚子里是座院子，屋子里有两堆馍，每堆都是九九八十一个。这里他俩明白了，老和尚是替他们保存了这些吃食。让他们躲过了灾难。
    盘古兄妹在石狮子肚里渡过了九九八十一天，石狮子开口说话了：“我现在告诉你们，我是玉皇大帝的坐骑玉麒麟，因我喝醉了酒，误了玉帝参加王母娘的蟠桃会，罚我到凡间戴罪立功。当时玉帝对凡间人们的罪恶十分恼火，决定使大地沉没，重建乾坤。后经太白金星查访，天下只留你兄妹二人传宗接代。玉帝命我使法术，安排你们到此避难，现在灾难己过，你俩赶快出去，用自己的智慧再创造出新天地。我向玉帝请罪去了”。
    他们刚爬出石狮子的嘴，就发现世间的一切全完了，只有脚下的一朵祥云。兄妹望着空荡荡的世界，愁肠满怀，妹妹悲伤地说：“这该怎么办呢?”
    盘古说：“听说玉帝以前管十七层天，咱们去要一层吧！”兄妹二人踏云向天宫飞去，他们飞呀，飞呀，飞了七七四十九天才飞到“云堆宫”。兄妹二人见了玉帝，说明来意。玉帝说：“天可以给你们一层。”接着便把神案上的蓝手帕扔给盘古说：“你们到太空去，把这个手帕抛出去，便会变成天了”。兄妹二人接过手帕，深施一礼，急忙向宫外走去。妹妹说：“哥哥，咱们光有了天，没有地怎么办？咱们再要个地吧!”盘古一听楞住了：“听玉帝说天宫里是不允许人要第二件东西的”。
    二人说的话被石狮子听见了。他说：“不要紧，我有个办法，但不知你们有没有胆量？”盘古急忙答道：“只要能找到大地，我们什么都不怕。”石狮子便说：“玉帝睡觉的地方有座‘龙眼宫’，里面有镇宫的园球叫‘如意球’，能大能小，你把它摘走。到那时候你只要说声‘大’，它就大，但再也不会缩小了。只是白天有神将看守，只有到晚上才能摘走。现在我的兽王牌给你，到危急时把它拿出来就没事了。”说罢不辞而去。
    晚上，盘古叫妹妹在“龙眼宫”外面等着，自己腾云向“龙眼宫”飞去。刚到山前，看见两个灯笼在发光。盘古仔细一看，啊，是一条巨大的蟒蛟，头如磨盘，眼如烈火，恶狠狠地向盘古扑来。盘古吓出冷汗，陡然间想起兽王牌，忙从腰中取出，巨蟒看到高举起来的兽王牌就伏在宫殿前不动了。盘古从巨蟒看到高起来的兽王牌就伏在宫殿前不动了。盘古从巨蟒身边走过去，来到“龙眼宫”，便看见如意球在宫尖上闪闪发光。赶紧上前摘下来，装在衣袋里，高高兴兴地往回走。到了宫门口，一只猛虎向盘古窜来。盘古赶紧掏出兽王牌，猛虎趴下一动不动，便趁机飞出了“龙眼宫”。
    盘古拉着妹妹说：“快走，被玉帝发现就没命了”。兄妹二人飞向太空，定了定神。盘古把手帕向上一扔，头顶上果然出现了蔚蓝的天。只因手帕缺个角，天东北角便有个黑洞。他俩稍往下一飞，把“如意球”向下一扔，说了声“大”，脚下真的出现了大地。兄妹二人高兴万分。这时听到空中有人说：“盘古，念你创造天地心切，偷摘‘如意球’就不治你的罪了。”
    盘古抬头一看，见是玉帝和太白金星立在云端。赶紧跪下说：“谢玉帝宽恕。可大地光秃秃的，你能再给树木林廊和五谷杂粮，飞禽走兽，山川河流吗？”
    玉帝生气地说：“你向我要了天，又偷摘了我的‘如意球’，你还能再向我要东西吗？”说罢，即命天将把盘古兄妹脚下的祥云取回，免得他们再上天闹事。
    太白金星插言道：“玉帝，摘掉他们脚上的祥云是对的。但是念他们兄妹才创好天和地，你就按照他们的要求给一些吧！将来地上有人，也会感谢你的。”
    玉帝听太白金星言之有理，便拿一些彩纸碎片向大地一撒，倾刻间，太阳悬在当空，山脉、河流层次分明，山林树木遮天盖地，平地上禾苗郁郁葱葱，到处鸟语花香。原来混沌的大地，变得焕然一新。不过，天的东北角那个洞还没长严。盘古到河里捞了一块冰，扔向天的东北角，堵住了那个洞。现在一刮东北风，人们感到很寒冷刺骨，就是东北角那块冰的冷气。
    盘古兄妹站在大别山北端的望狮山上，四下嘹望，准备选择一个地方居住下来。猛然间发现西北方向湖光、山色美丽无比，盘古兄妹说：“这个湖若能变成山在周围环境的衬托下，可真是个好地方”。这话被西天古佛听到了。如来佛祖即命夸娥氏的两个儿子，从大别山中段右侧搬来一座山刚好盖着湖面。当时四海龙王正在这里商量大事，突然山落向湖面下沉，致使四海龙王不能正常议事。龙王即派九条龙顶着下落的山。因此这山就叫“九龙山”。
    盘古兄妹见此情景，高兴万分，就从狮山往这山奔来。跑呀！跑呀！不知跑了多远，才跑到西山坡上。他俩累得满头大汗，热得喘不过气来，便坐下来休息。凉风徐徐而来，好凉**，后来这座山就叫“风山”。他俩休息片刻继续上山，累得他俩实在走不动了还坚持向上爬。因此盘古山西南高陡处叫“高爬”。最后他俩登上山顶，自搭草棚定居下来，兄妹二人身槲叶遮饰。夜宿草棚之中，竭饮甘泉水，饿吃野果和草根，过着原始人的生活。后来就把“九龙山”改为“盘古山”了。

    盘古的传说——盘古开天地
浙江绍兴民间传说

    老早老早时光，天地混沌，只有一条缝。不知啥时候，天外飞来一只火红火红的大鸟，在天和地的合缝处，下了老大老大的一个蛋。过了许多许多年，这个大蛋成了精灵，孕育成了一个盘古。为啥叫他盘古?因为他在蛋里双手抱着，双腿屈着，象是盘住整个身架，所以叫盘古。盘古在蛋里渐渐大起来，受不了啦，用嘴把蛋壳慢慢啄破，脱出来了。盘古长得很怪：驼峰似的头顶，大鸟样的嘴鼻，肩背上还有一对翅膀，双手双腿都老长老长。他把啄碎的蛋壳全吃进肚里，于是见风就大，脚踏着地，头顶着天，还是伸不直腰。他嫌天地之间的合缝太窄了，就用头向上顶，用脚向下蹬，用双手向左右推。他顶一顶，天高一丈；蹬一蹬，地陷一丈；推一推，左右各宽一丈。盘古呢，还在见风大。他仍然脚踏地，头顶天，没法子伸直腰。他不甘心，继续顶呀，蹬呀，推呀，如此一万八千年，天就极高，地就极深，盘古把天和地真正分开了。但是，盘古的气力已经用尽，不久就死了，所以讲盘古活了一万八千岁。盘古死后，他的灵魂飞到天上，变成了雷公。他的身体的各部分，分别变成了日月、星辰、风云、山川、田地、草木。

《浙江省民间文学集成·绍兴故事卷》

    这则流传于民间的、由一位生活于乡村的文盲老妇人口述的盘古神话不仅填补了见之于文献记载的那则盘古神话中的不少空白，如关于盘古的形貌、盘古灵魂的归宿等，而且从语言，形象、结构等要素量，较之前者更多地保留着原始神话应有的稚拙、古朴、神秘和野性。其浓厚的鸟崇拜成分还使我们有理由推测，中华民族的这则开天辟地的创世神话，最初很可能是由具有悠久鸟崇拜传统的古越部族所创作出来的。

盘古的传说——盘古造人
台湾民间故事

   世界上为什么有黑人、白人、和黄种人的分别，盘古造人的故事，会告诉你……

　　讲述：黄昆山（男，54岁，高雄人，现居高雄市苓雅区。）
　　语言：闽南语主述，普通话补充。
　　时间：1999年2月3日
　　地点：高雄市
　　来源：讲者大约在国小时代听乡下长辈口述
　　采访：叶欣薇、翁慧君等（中文系）
　　附记：讲者为访者叶欣薇父亲之友人。
　　
　　盘古的爸爸叫做盘圆，盘圆的爸爸叫做盘粒，盘粒的爸爸叫做盘扁，盘扁的爸爸叫做中古，中古的爸爸叫做老古，老古的爸爸叫做蒙古（注1），蒙古的爸爸叫做古老斯古（注2）。他们是神仙家族。
　　有一天，盘古邀曾祖盘扁下棋（注3）。他说：“阿祖！我们来下棋。”曾祖说：“好！”于是两人在那里下棋，从早上一直下到中午。盘古是少年人，肚子不耐饿，就向盘扁讲说：“阿祖，肚子好饿呢！我们来吃东西好吗？”盘扁说：“哈哈哈！好啊！乖孙子！你不讲，我都不觉得肚子饿了。”
　　盘古要去煮东西吃，可是煮什么呢？他的个性很活泼，而且很有艺术细胞。他用面粉和水，像在捏水饺一样地，捏出了一个一个很漂亮的人形面团，放到蒸笼里面，生了柴火蒸煮，然后又跟盘扁下棋去了。因为下棋有输赢，让祖孙二人入了迷，结果大鼎里的水竟然蒸干了。他们正下着棋，怎么突然闻到有东西烧焦的味道？这时盘古才记起正在蒸面人，赶快去掀开笼盖。可是笼里的东西已经全部熏得焦黑，不能吃了。
　　盘古很不好意思地说：“阿祖！阿祖！东西烧焦了！”阿祖心疼地安慰曾孙说：“不要紧啦！再做一次吧！”经过盘扁一安慰，盘古心里比较不难过了。但是烧焦的东西是不能吃的，盘古就把那些黑漆漆的面人捉到蒸笼旁边，说：“去去去！去树下乘凉！”仙人讲的话是会成真的。那些黑漆漆的面人听了盘古的话以后，真的变成了活人，到榕树下去乘凉，不敢四处乱跑。
　　盘古重新拿面粉捏成面人，放到笼里去蒸，然后又和盘扁下棋。这次他比较谨慎了，因为东西得要蒸熟了才能吃，但蒸太久了又会焦掉。他一边下棋一边注意时间。当他觉得蒸笼里的东西大概熟了的时候，去把盖子给掀开来，结果掀得太早了，里面的面人全都白雪雪的，还未蒸熟。
　　仙人有一个规则，蒸笼若一掀开，就不能再盖回去。盘古没办法，只好又把那些白色的面人捉到蒸笼边，叫他们去榕树下乘凉。他觉得很对不起阿祖。阿祖说：“憨孙子！没关系啦！你不曾有过煮东西的经验，阿祖不会怪你的！肚子饿了就忍耐一点，再做一次吧！”
　　盘古又用面粉捏了第三次的面人，放下笼里蒸，然后继续和阿祖下棋。没多久，落了一场雨，把柴火给浇熄了。可是祖、孙两人下棋入了迷，一盘来一盘去的，忘了饥饿。直到天晚了，盘古才想到蒸笼。他赶快去掀开笼盖，结果里面的面人已经闷黄了。盘古没办法，仍然把那些黄色的面人捉到蒸笼下，叫他们走开，然后很难过地向阿祖说：“对不起！我本来想要做好吃的东西给你吃，可是一个烧焦了，一个没有熟，一个闷黄了。”
　　从此以后，世界上就有了人类；而烧焦了的面人、没蒸熟的面人和闷黄了的面人，就成为人类里的黑人、白人和黄种人。

  盘古的传说——天地开辟


    在宇宙空间中飘荡的大黑团乃是浑沌身体所化，因而在这个大黑团中浑沌的精灵不死，那精灵聚汇在这大黑团正中悄悄地孕育，也不知道孕育了多少万年，终于孕生出了一个新的神灵盘古。盘古在大黑团中吮吸着营养哺育自己，生长在黑团之中就象生长在母腹中的婴儿一般。不仅如此他还象婴儿一样整日眯缝着眼睛在大黑团的母腹中呼呼酣睡，好似婴儿躺在母腹中那样放松，睡得那般香甜。
    就这样这小盘古在黑团中生长，由小变大。转眼又是千百万年过去，他终于由一个娃娃样的婴儿长大成了一位硕大的巨人，身体成熟起来。身体的成熟使巨人盘古倏然睁开了一直眯缝着的睡眼，但由于他眼前尽是雾状的浑沌黑暗，所以他睁开眼来却也是什么都看不到。盘古睁眼看不到光明和事物，以为眼刚睡醒，便用手把眼睛揉了又揉。然而尽管他把双眼揉了数次，但由于呈现在他面前的依然是漫无边际的雾状浑沌黑暗，他还是什么也看不见。巨人盘古看不到东西和光明禁不住恼怒起来，他恼怒自己的面前为什么只有雾状浑沌黑暗，而没有耀眼的光明绚丽世界？恼怒使他跃将起身，一边大喊大叫他要光明，一边狂跳乱撞以冲破这黑暗的世界。
    盘古就这样喊啊叫啊跳啊撞啊，也不知道喊叫跳撞了多少年月，他的喊叫跳撞之声终于冲出浑沌黑团，传到了端坐在天宫灵宵宝殿玉皇大帝的耳中。玉皇大帝闻听心喜，随手抓起一把板斧，倏地向身处在黑团浑沌之中的巨人盘古抛了过去。巨人盘古正在黑团浑沌中喊叫跳撞，随着板斧向他飞来他的眼前突然闪现出一丝光明。正跳的盘古突见光明心中一惊，猛然伸手向那光明摸去，恰好抓住玉皇大帝向他抛来的那把板斧的斧柄。盘古出手摸向光明却抓住了一把斧柄心中更奇，他急低头看手中所抓究为何物？低头一看手中所抓竟是一把板斧，真个更奇，这板斧来自何处？但不管这板斧来自何处，盘古都看到他手中此刻确确实实抓住了一把板斧，因而禁不住心中一阵大喜过望道：“好，好！有了这把板斧，我非用它砍开这团浑沌黑暗，辟出一个光明的世界不可！言毕，他即刻用力挥动手中板斧，振臂向面前的雾状浑沌黑暗猛劈过去。
    盘古这一板斧着实劈得厉害，但见他刚刚一板斧劈将下去，就听到轰隆隆一声天山脚地裂般的巨响，随之便见周围的雾状浑沌黑暗即刻被砍开一条缝来，从那条缝隙中射来了璀灿耀眼的光明。盘古见之心中大喜，即刻手挥板斧口中高喊连声欢呼起来。然而盘古的欢呼之声未落，便又见到他刚才一板斧劈开的那道透来光明的狭窄缝隙，由于上部雾状浑沌黑暗用力下压，已是越来越窄，欲要合拢起来，那刚刚闪现的一线璀灿耀眼光明，也欲随着那砍开缝隙的弥合就要消失了去。盘古睹之心中大惊，�**�手中板斧于地，随之举起双臂嗨地吼叫一声，便把上部正往下压的雾状浑沌黑暗向上用力举将开来，方才使得那条刚被砍开的缝隙没有弥合起来，那从缝隙中射来的璀灿光明没有消失。
    然而，盘古虽将上部下压的雾状浑沌黑暗举将了上去，保证了他用板斧砍开的缝隙，赢得了从缝隙中射进的璀灿光明，但他高举的双臂却沉重地感受到了上部雾状浑沌黑暗向下的巨大压力。由此他知道如若自己将上举的双臂放将下来，上部雾状浑沌黑暗就会再压将下来。将他砍开的那条缝隙弥合在一起而消失。因而他不敢将上举的双臂放将下来，而一直用力将双臂向上举着。就这样盘古用力向上伸举双臂，使得他的浑身骨骼象竹笋拨节一样咯嘣嘣日夜作响，这响声使他的骨骼一日日生长，随着其骨骼的一日日生长他浑身的肌肉也生长不息。盘古的身躯于是每天长高一丈。也就把他用板斧砍开的狭窄缝隙每日加高一丈，如此十万八千年过去，盘古身长十万八千丈，被他用板斧砍开的缝隙，便上下相距到了十万八千丈。
     至此，盘古眼见缝隙上下相距已经十分遥远，不会再合拢在一起，方才放心地向上向下仔细看视。盘古向上部原先的雾状浑沌黑暗一看，只见先前的雾状浑沌黑暗，已经全部变成了湛蓝透明的天空。随后他又向脚下原先的雾状浑沌黑暗看去，只见那先的雾状浑沌黑暗，已经全部变成了沉厚的黄褐色大地。盘古看着这无边无涯极厚极厚的黄褐色大地，和那湛蓝湛蓝的无垠天空，只见光明万里，黑暗隐去，禁不住心喜万分，高兴得禁不住一阵哈哈哈放声笑将起来。
    由于盘古眼见自己开出了高天辟出了厚地高兴至极，因而高兴得大笑不止。但见他一阵常笑不停，竟然由于笑的时间过长，一口气缓将不过来倏然间神崩力溃，使得他高大的身躯，顿然间摧山倒壁般扑通一声摔倒在了地上，从此再也站不起来，就这样盘古大神倒下死去了，但他倒下死的壮烈，因为他开创了开天辟地的宏伟业绩。盘古大神就这样倒下死去了，但他又没有死，但见他倒下的身躯突然间又迸射出万道金光，随着金光的射出其身躯的每一个部位，都动变起来。
    他的左眼睛，在动中飞向了东天，变成了一轮金光灿烂的太阳，悬挂在东方照亮着乾坤天地。他的右眼睛，在动中飞向了西天，变成了一轮银光柔和的月亮，与悬挂东天的太阳遥遥相对。他嘴里呼出的气流，在一片呼啸声里，变成了化育万物的和煦春风。变成了天空中蒸腾的云雾，变成了浓云里瞬息万变的闪光，变成了震耳欲聋的惊雷。他的头发和胡须纷飞四面八方，在高山大川丘岭之上，变成了稠密的树林如茵的芳草缤纷的鲜花。他的汗珠，噼噼叭叭迸飞向天际，变成了缀满蓝天的晶亮星斗。他的四肢蠕动生长，变成了拔地冲天的五岳高山。他的筋络蠕动延伸，变成了四通八达的道路。他的血液四溢流淌，变成了奔腾不息的千江万河。他的牙齿和骨骼飞散开来，变成了闪光的金属，洁白的美玉，晶莹的珍珠，美丽的玛瑙，变成了地下无穷的宝藏。他的唾液漫天飞洒，变成了滋润万物的甘霖......
    浑沌天帝精灵不死化育而成的盘古大神，就这样开辟了天地，化育了万物，演成了乾坤。因而，他被我们古老中华民族的祖先衷心称誉，世世代代一直活在我们中华民族每一个人心中。

泌阳盘古系列传说
滚磨成亲

        一天晚上，盘古兄妹二人在草棚外乘凉，从东南方向飘来一朵白云，人感惊奇。只见这朵白云金光闪闪，越来越近，渐渐地看清了上面站着一位身穿莽袍，头戴红缕帽的一员大将，兄妹吓得战战兢兢，忙跪倒地上不停的磕头。惊恐间，听到人语：“我乃石狮也，奉玉帝之命再次下凡传旨，命你俩成婚，繁衍后代，让子孙传遍世界，主宰世上万物。”
     盘古一听，十分生气地说：“让我们兄妹成亲，断难从命!”
     石狮子说：“盘古呀，天地之大，万物之多，没有不死之树，也没有不谢之花；没有长生之人；更无不败之家。万物都得生生死死，新陈代谢。天地间，只有你兄妹二人，孤阴外不生，孤阳外不长。只有阴阳相配合，子孙才会满堂。你兄妹成亲是玉帝的旨意，不然的话，人类就得断绝。再说，你兄妹到老年也需有人扶侍呀!”
     盘古兄妹听罢，勃然大怒，“兄妹本是同根生，同胞成亲理不通，宁愿世间人断绝，想叫成亲万不能”。
     天将道：“世人大理有经传，认定死理有缺陷，为人若长打算，落得老年后悔难”。
     哥哥认为石狮子说的话似有道理，便说：“石狮相劝是良言，打破常规美名传，生下儿女膝下站，到老孝敬靠儿男”。
     妹妹说：“兄妹结婚世间乱，何必苦苦劝不休，哥哥同意我不愿，何必惹我皱眉头”。
     “我奉玉帝下旨来说合，此事天意难违，于己不祥，望你俩三思。”说罢，石狮子上天宫回复玉帝去了。
      第二天狮神手托两扇石磨来到盘古山顶。按落云头高声喊道：“玉帝有令，命我把这两扇磨交给你兄妹二人各一扇，你们分别站在东西两个山顶，听我口令一齐放手，让石磨自动滚下山去。两扇磨若合在一起必须成婚，若不合在一起，任你们挑选。”盘古兄妹暗想，两扇磨相距那么远， 滚下去各自要经很多的沟坎，想使两扇合在一起，没有那么巧的事，勉强同意了。
    中午，盘古兄妹各托一扇磨，分别站在两个山头上，石狮子在山上高声喊道：“放"。兄妹一齐放手，两扇磨从两个山头滚下，很快就在同一个山谷。说也奇怪，两扇磨忽而靠近，忽而远离，一前一后地滚。滚着滚着并排前进，一直滚到盘古山东北角的小河边稳稳当当合在一起了。妹妹气愤地看着两扇磨说：“这是你们利用神的骗术欺人，还配得当神仙吗？”说罢一脚把一扇青石磨踢出十万八千里。这扇磨落的地方起了一座大山。盘古妹妹也跟着石磨到西山住下来。石狮一看大怒：“你等小辈，竞敢藐视神仙，来!来!来!，我与你同见玉帝!”盘古吓破了大胆，忙跪下哀求道：“仙人饶了妹妹吧，我一定想办法创造人类，主宰万物。请狮神回禀玉帝放心”。狮神想了一会，才愤愤地回天宫去了。
  这时，盘古妹妹己去西山居住，与盘古遥遥千里。这里盘古一人，非常孤独，伤感，想起了造人的事，便慌了手脚，苦苦思索繁衍后代的办法。

    一天，雨过天晴。盘古到后山捡柴，一不小心滑倒在地，手上沾了很多泥巴。他站起来之后，撇了几个槲叶垫在石头上坐下。因为他整日想造人心切，便把手上沾的黄泥巴刮下来捏着玩。捏着，捏着，捏成了一个小泥人，他顺手放在一块石头上，随即挑着柴回草棚了。
    几日后，盘古上山摘槲叶，发现泥人已干。因刮大风，泥人身上落满了灰尘，他拿起来用嘴吹了一下，泥人就长得和盘古一样高，他又吹了一口气，泥人会说话了；当他吹第三口气时，泥人伸伸胳膊，伸伸腿，会走路了。盘古一看又惊又喜地说：“谁知道黄泥巴捏****会说话，繁衍后代有指望了，真是天不绝人呀!”
    从此，盘古开始做泥人。他不分昼夜，废寝忘食地忙碌着。很快盘古山顶摆满了男男女女的泥巴人。盘古喜出望外地捏呀捏。一天，空中乌云滚滚，闪电雷鸣，眼看一场暴雨就要来临。盘古一看急了，就向泥人一连吹了两口气，急然想起泥人还没晒干，就不再吹第三口气了，立即慌忙的往草棚搬。突然狂风大作，倾盆大雨盖地而来。雨点落到泥人身上，一点就是一个伤口，疼痛难忍，弄得泥人哭的哭，喊的喊。盘古一时又抬不完，眼前泥人就要淋碎，遭到毁坏，也是盘古急中生智，顺手砍倒一棵松树当扫帚就往棚里扫起来。等到把泥人扫完，他回到棚里一看，才知道慌忙中扫回的泥人少胳膊缺大腿，有的瞎，有的瘸。所以现在人身上的灰尘总是洗不净，世界上还有残缺不全的人。因为人都是泥巴捏的。
    盘古捏泥人的故事流传古今。听人说盘古爷至今还怨恨自己粗心呢?以后捏的泥人多了，盘古就把他们分到南蛮、北胡、东夷、西城去谋生，继而又发展到全世界。

盘古爷繁衍子孙的传说

    远古时候，天底下只有盘古兄妹二人，除了他二人没有男女姻缘，更不会发展人类。玉帝破例让他们兄妹结婚，兄妹不允。玉帝就派天神下凡，让其兄妹滚磨成亲，结为夫妻，繁衍子孙。所以至今夫妻间还称为姊妹。
    他们住在盘古山顶，在山下种了许多五谷杂粮。在农活闲暇之时，他们还想办法制造些生产工具。由于兄妹辛勤劳动，日子过得十分美满。可是，天地之大，地无人耕种。他夫妻二人膝下无子女很是着急。一日盘古奶腹中酸痛难忍，就要临产。盘古爷喜出望外，采集了很多鲜果给盘古奶吃。待盘古奶产下一看，原来是一个肉疙瘩。盘古兄妹都很丧气。盘古一怒之下将肉疙瘩背到北山坡下挖窖埋了。回来后一边安慰盘古奶，一边调养她的身体。俩人同心协力继续在山上种树，在山下种粮，在水边种菜。时间一晃又是一年，盘古奶己怀孕十来个月，又将要临产了。这是盘古夫妇又喜又怕，喜的是要添儿女了，怕的是再生一个肉疙瘩。心里象十五个吊桶打水----七上八下。俗话说：“怕处有鬼”。盘古奶真的又生了一个肉疙瘩。他羞愧地想：近亲结婚真不好。一气之下自己跑到西大山去了。这就是近亲生怪胎的缘故。
    盘古寻思:这是什么“怪物如何欺人，把妻子也给气走了。他边想边拿来砍柴刀，朝肉疙瘩用力砍去。这一砍不要紧，一窝白胖的女孩，活蹦乱跳的窜出来。盘古爷惊喜若狂，不多一会儿，一群小姑娘都会说话了。她们上前拉胳膊扯腿，围着盘古叫爹闹娘，盘古喜得合不拢嘴，一个一个地数了起来，没整没零的一百个。盘古用称一个个地称了一遍，每个女孩都十斤。他心中一合计，一百个就是千斤，演变到今，人们都叫女孩为“千金小姐”。
    盘古后悔第一个肉疙瘩不该埋掉，他随即到北山坡把第一个肉疙瘩从地底下挖出来，也用柴刀划开。一看，里边是一群男孩，盘古一数也是一百个。盘古随即说道：“这些男孩能活到现在是“百灵”相助吧！从此在这里盖了个“百神庙”。百神庙村也由此得了名。
    这一百对男女孩，很快就长大了。他们主动要活干。盘古爷把他们分配成一百对。有看杨树的，有看桃树的，有看石头的，看菜的，也有管沙、管湖的......这一百对孩子，谁看管什么，就叫谁什么名姓，由此产生了“百家姓”。
盘古爷至今还关怀着周围的人们。每年他要为这里的百姓降三场私雨。据传说：“凡是不打雷的雨，都是盘古爷下的私雨。有了盘古爷的私雨，这里庄稼没有绝收过。过去四面八方来逃荒的人总是来这里讨饭。因此，人民流传着：“出山走一千，仍回盘古山”，“紧搬慢搬不能离开盘古山”。这里是气候温和，雨水调匀，旱涝保收的好地方。

    盘古的传说——
泌阳系列盘古传说

  大磨街的来历

    泌阳县东南约二十五里处有个小集镇，名叫大磨街。大磨街的"大磨"有多大? 民间流传的一首歌谣说得好:"大磨，大磨，百人没把握，磨齿数不清，磨眼摸不着。并行两辆车，两边还赌博。人称无价宝，盘古青石磨。"其实这块磨和一般磨大小一样，因为它是盘古爷与盘古奶滚磨成亲留下的唯一纪念物，所以名气就大了。
    混沌初开，乾坤始尊，天底下只留下盘古兄妹二人，玉帝想让他们兄妹成亲，繁衍善良的人传宗接代，主宰世间万物，便派天上石狮子下凡说合，让他们兄妹各执一扇磨，分别站在东西两个山头滚磨成亲，结果两扇磨合在一起，盘古妹羞得抬不起头来，一气之下把磨踢到两个方向。这一扇踢到盘古山东北的小河边，这个地方就叫它大磨街。

盘古爷的石箱子

    盘古山西边有一块大方石，人们都叫它箱子石。相传这块箱子石就是盘古爷的石箱子，他所有的金银财宝、五谷杂粮、山珍海味、各种东西都放在这个石箱子里。
    盘古奶上西山去的时候，没有带走这个石箱子，却把石箱子上的钥匙带走了。说也奇怪，虽然没�**砍祝�可这个石箱子有三开：一是，盘古爷想要什么东西，它自动开了；二是，他的子孙想要什么东西，它自动开了：三是，正当午时需要晒晒，它自动开了。自从石箱子里掉进了一个恶妇"酸嫂"后，再也不开了，要想知道这是怎么一回事，还得从头说起。
    盘古山脚下有个小村子，村里有户人家，老俩口和两个儿子，老汉人称老善，老婆人们尊称善大娘，大儿子叫大山，小儿子叫小山，一家人靠山吃饭，日子过得还算可以。一天有人找老善给大儿子提亲，说的是西庄一个姑娘，这姑娘小名叫辣子，因为她从小就好闹好骂，个**强，人前背后都叫她小辣子。长成姑娘以后就更有点名气，老实巴脚的庄稼人谁也不敢娶她，怕是这号媳妇使不着。老善虽也早有所闻，但今天转来一想，
    有人能来找我提亲就是抬举我，姑娘虽是恶名在外，来以后也许会好的，再说自己这样的人家娶个媳妇也不容易。所以媒人一说，就百依百从，几盅酒一喝算是说成了，约定秋后棉花一下来就成亲。
    小辣子过门后，果然是名不虚传，整天没个笑脸，见人横鼻子瞪眼，从没把一家人放在眼里，有理不让人，没理犟三分，动不动大吵大闹。大山一见她就像老鼠见猫一样，怕她十分。对待邻居亲朋尖酸刻薄，半点亏也不吃。所以人家都把她叫"酸嫂"。不知不觉"酸嫂"这个名字算传了出来，方园的人们都知道了。
    善大娘把这个媳妇敬上了天，连一句大声的话也不敢在她面前说，做好饭喊媳妇起床，起床后把饭端到跟前，媳妇还瞪着眼说不好吃，没味道。儿子上山或下地，家里活全是善大娘的，整天挑水，做饭，洗衣裳，累得腰弯得像弓一样，骨瘦如柴。不久善大娘得了重病，卧床不起，只好老汉和儿子做饭，给媳妇端着吃，"酸嫂"还整天大骂老汉不会做饭，老汉气得直流泪。一天老汉去磨面，儿子上山拾柴，善大娘躺在床上，几天没有喝一口水，渴得实在受不了，对着媳妇叫了一声:"我的好闺女呀！你行个好，给我端半碗水喝喝吧！”这样一说，只惹得"酸嫂"**起，大吵大闹，只说：“你这个老不死的，想闺女啦，那你就赶快生个闺女，等着叫你闺女来端水喝吧。”
    老汉磨面回来，面筐往地上一放，就到床前去看老婆，掀开被子一看，只见她瞪着眼，张着干巴巴的嘴，往身上一摸，全都凉了，老汉一时放声大哭，泪如雨降。善大娘劳累一生，养了儿子，娶了媳妇，落得这个下场。左邻右舍都无不伤心落泪。而媳妇却在里房说：“死了活该，她那箱子，盆子......可该都是我的了。”
    善大娘一死，老汉想起老婆就流泪，媳妇见了恶声恶气地说：“哭啥，哭，想她了就跟着去啦嘛......”老汉越想越气，心里越难受，一气之下，跑到树林里上了吊。没出两个月老俩口都死了，酸嫂只好自己磨面做饭吃，照她的说法这算受了大罪，还得养活小叔子小山。从这时起她把小山看成了眼中钉。
    小山才十五岁，这孩子为人老实忠厚，勤快肯干，让人喜欢，都说他受善老汉遗传。酸嫂可不这样看，她认为是个包袱，现在养活他将来家产还得给他分一半，太不合算。于是就采取百般老练的办法，想把他逼走。磨面、担水、下地、割草、家里杂活、上山放牛、放牛还得捡柴禾，那一样干不完回来不叫吃饭。小山从来没有穿过鞋，热天没穿过布衫，一条裤子穿几年。到了冬天只有一件没有袖子的小棉袄，晚上睡在稻草堆里。就这样酸嫂对小山说：“我穿哩，住哩都是我娘家赔送哩，与你不相干，你就是光着肚子，冻死冻活，我也犯不着操心，有本事自己弄......。"小山饥一顿，饱一顿，冻得浑身发抖，饿得心里发慌，整天累死累活，回家还得受气，自己真是伤心透了，想到这里跑到放牛坐的石板上放声大哭起来，哭死了也好找爹娘去，也省得小小年纪在人间受罪。
    哭了一阵子，睁睛一看，石头掀开了，向里边一看，象个石箱子，里面装有单衣、棉衣、吃的、用的......应有尽有。小山想：这是谁家的东西，我拿点吃的，借件穿的，有人问了说点好话，也不算偷，于是小山就吃了一顿饱饭，穿一件衣裳回家了。
    他嫂子一看小山的样子，大为惊奇的问道：“小山，谁家给你的衣裳?”小山说：“不是谁家给的，是我在山上石箱子里拿的，里边的东西可多啦，吃的，穿的，用的什么都有”。酸嫂一听，心想：这是发财机会到了，得赶快去弄回来。想到这里忙对小山说：“兄弟，咱俩一块去看看中不中?”
    说罢，小山带着嫂嫂来到了石箱子跟前，往下一看，金银财宝，绞罗绸缎，山珍海味，应有尽有。酸嫂二话没说，腰一弯就跳下去了，谁知她刚跳下去，石箱盖哗地一声盖上了。这回可把小山给吓坏了，他站起来跑回去找哥哥，大山一听说，慌忙跑来一看，哭了起来。眼哭的出了血，头碰的出了血，手扒的出了血，脚蹬的出了血，最后大山一直哭死了，死了以后，变成了一只小鸟，整天叫着：开开开开！开开开开！无论如何这石箱也不开了。
    以后，小山继承了家业，日子过得很好，后来慢慢富裕起来，家大业大，人口众多，成了这个村里大户人家。

泌阳系列盘古传说

  龟盖坡

    盘古山下有座山坡，这个坡活象一只乌龟趴在褚湾水库西边。远远望去，它高昂着头向东张望，似听似看，前腿分别在东北、西北，后腿明显的分为东南、西南，象在爬行又象在挣扎的样子，表现出既痛苦又愤恨的神情。
    据说，这原是一只神龟，它爬到哪里，那里百姓就会富裕。可当地财主宠世财怕老百姓生活好了，就千方百计的设法害死神龟。
    那时，食盐奇缺。庞世财运来大批食盐高价出卖。神龟同情穷人，决心给穷人送盐吃。它托梦给百姓，两天后到盘古山下分盐。人们半信半疑，奔走相告，这一消息很快传遍了每家每户。
    庞世财得知这一消息，恨之入骨，立即找到帮凶商量惩治神龟的办法，分头暗自行动。
    两天后，百姓应约来分盐时，只见盘古山脚下白云弥漫，晨风吹来阵阵腥味。他们走近一看，发现是一只巨龟躺在水边，白花花的盐洒在水库边。仔细观察，这只巨龟的四脚牢牢的钉在地上，两眼含泪，气息奄奄，挣扎着向百姓频频点头，最后恨恨地向北抬抬头停着不动了。众人随着龟头的方向一看，那正是宠世财的宅院。百姓们一下子明白过来，这是庞世财所为。愤怒的人群马上向庞世财的家冲去。宠世财一看情况不妙，就关紧大门，任凭叫骂就是不出来。众人更怒了，放火烧着了门楼，燃着了房屋，不大一会整个院落成了一片火海，庞世财一家和他的帮凶都烧死在屋中。
    百姓解了恨，急忙去看那乌龟已变成了一座高高的山坡。
    从此，龟盖坡的名字便流传至今。

石墓村的来历

    在泌阳县与桐柏县交界的盘古山下，有一个山村叫石墓村。村北山坡上确实有一个象棺材一样的大石槽，大概这个村就是由此而得名吧！可石墓是怎样形成的呢?
    在很早的时候，一天北方来了一个人，自称叫石山。因家乡遭灾，家庭贫寒，父母双亡，独自一人到这里谋生。山区人烟稀少，加上穷人同情穷人，盘古山下的人们也就把他留下了。住的时间长了，人们知道了他的身世。他家住在太行山。父亲叫石正，是个石匠。他为人正直，心底善良，勤劳一生，仍很清贫，很早就离开了人世。只有母子二人度日。天有不测之风云，不久他母亲也得了重病，没钱治疗，东挪西借，也不足用。
    没法只好找“驴打滚”的高利，贷了财主的一些钱，回到家里。可母亲己离开了人世。石山哭得死去活来。把母亲埋葬后，钱己花尽，这时外债累累，已是无力偿还。在万般无奈的情况下，深夜外逃，漂流四方，最后落脚在泌阳县盘古山下。
    石山是个很能干的人，他看到盘古山一带大石很多，人们又很需要石磨，石滚，石碾。他本人又是个石匠，就利用自己的手艺来报答乡亲们的收留之恩。给谁家干活就吃谁家的饭，不要工钱。因此，家家都很喜欢他。后来大家又帮助他开垦了几片荒地，又在山坡上搭了两间茅草房，就在这里安了家。有一天，从外地来了一个讨饭的小男孩，这孩子也是因父母双亡，流浪在外。石山出于同病相连的感情，加上他的心地善良，就把这孩子收为了义子。父子二人相依为命，勤劳俭用，生活过得也算可以。
    时间过得很快，不知不觉孩子已长到二十三岁，他们依靠自己的辛勤劳动盖起了几间新房，生活虽不那么富裕，倒也过得愉快。后经人说合又给孩子成了家。从此石山生活更有了依靠。他为了多干些活，把家务杂活推给了儿媳，自己和儿子专门修了一条上盘古山的路。这样四乡的百姓上山也就方便了，交往也就更多了，相继又有了几户也搬到了这里居住，慢慢成了一个小村庄。
    石山劳苦一生。临死之前嘱咐儿子叫他用石头凿一下墓，把自己埋在山坡上，好永远给乡亲们照看田园。孝顺的儿子，不辞劳苦，日夜连干，终于凿成了一个大石墓。石山死后儿子就把他安葬在了那里。至今那个石墓旁还留着有儿子跪的膝印，是儿子悼念父亲的见证。为了纪念石山老人，百姓便把他居住的这个小村子起名叫“石墓村”。

盘古的传说——桐柏县民间系列传说

盘古降龙

    盘古开天辟地不多长时间，洪水遍地，盘古细查了一下，天有九条龙作怪。盘古兄妹决心斗龙治水。
    妹妹有智谋，用葛条扭成绳，拴着一条一条的龙。盘古有神斧在手，龙被降住了。妹妹四处察看水情，看看哪里水还没消下去。
    妹妹走远了，不知走哪去了。盘古一个人坐在龙身上，不知是想看看洪水消的咋样呀，还是想看妹妹跑到哪去了，盘古一起身，“轰隆”一下子，九条龙都跑光了。八条龙跑远了，******往南跑到大腹山肚里藏了起来。原来，大腹山比石狮子山还矮三尺，这条龙钻进山肚里一拱啊，山腹撑大了，山顶也高了。后人叫它为大腹山(又名太白顶)。千里淮河就是从这儿流出来的。石狮子山呢，人们也叫起九龙山了。

桐柏山

  有一年，孔子出外讲学。领着学生走平原，上丘岭，爬险峰。实在走不动了，就找个小村歇息。遇到一个老汉，孔子问："老人家，这一带是啥山呀?"老汉说："盘古山"。孔子很惊奇，指着那座高山问："噢!盘古爷就生在这深山老林呀!"老汉连连摇头："你弄错了，这几百里俺都叫盘古山。盘古爷生的地方，离这儿还有一百多里呢。你指的这座高山�**泼缮剑�也有人叫太白顶"。孔子又问：“鲁国人讲，高高山峰头，清水贵如油！老人家，你们吃水怎办呢?”老汉说：“你不知啊!这山有一条河，就在前面桐树林和柏树林中间。"孔子一听，很高兴，就请老汉带路去看看河。穿过一片柏树林就是一条小河，河水清得见底儿。河对面是一片桐树林，正是开花时候，桐花的香味儿叫人越闻越想闻。孔子说："好景啊!"随口编出一首诗：

桐含三月紫，
柏吐万年青，
呜呼!花奇施异，
妙哉!天下绝景。

    学生们一听，个个说好。老汉想：把我们云蒙山夸得恁好，这真是个有学问的先生啊!就说："天响午了，请先生到茅屋里吃点大米饭，喝点淮河水吧"。孔子推辞不下，只好去了。
    吃过饭，孔子打发学生付饭钱。说啥老汉也不要。推让好大一会儿，老汉说："先生要是真想掏饭钱，就把你刚才编的诗，留给老汉算作饭钱吧!"孔子叫学生捧来文房四宝，挥笔写下，交给了老人。
    后来，老汉怕儿孙失落了圣人的诗稿，想来想去，请了一个石匠，把这首诗刻在一块青石板上，立在山前。
    隋朝年间，一位知县到义乡县(桐柏县)上任，路经这个村子，看见那块刻有字的石板。过细一看，署着孔圣人的名儿。他不相信，忙问那家主人，那家主人把祖上传下来的这块石碑，讲了个一清二楚，县官忙命手下人把这块石碑抬到县衙。诗的第一句说的是桐花，第二说的是柏枝，第三、四句说的是花和草。县令就"桐、柏、花、草"不停地念起来。有一天，他猛一高兴，动笔写了份公文，递了上去，请求上司把"义乡"改为"桐柏"。还说了他是怎样得到孔子的诗句。
    过了些时候，上司批文下来。说是道人公佐登山求仙时，见穴洞里藏的《古岳渎经》一书里就有"大禹治水三至桐柏山"的说法。批文同意把义乡县改名为桐柏县。云蒙山正名太白顶，太白顶方园八百里都叫桐柏山。

盘古请日月

    盘古造了人，大地还是昏昏沉沉的。不黑也不亮。人们啥也看不清。一天，盘古见东方有一线光亮，他就顺亮光走去。走到一个大山峡里，看到了两个漂漂亮亮的小姑娘。一个长得白净净的，一个长得红朴朴的，长得白净净的那个是姐，�**铝粒怀さ煤炱悠拥哪歉鍪敲茫�叫太阳。他们两个穿的是闪光发亮的金纱和银纱。把这个地方照得亮通通的。盘古高兴极了，开口请她姐妹俩站在高山上，把大地照亮，她俩答应了。盘古说：“姐妹俩一起出去，没忙没闲，咋歇响呢；一个一个地上山吧！”
    月亮说：“人们这时儿正干活，我是姐，我先照着他们干吧！等人们都歇息了，妹妹再出来照着大地吧。”
    太阳说：“我胆小！人们都睡了，我再出来，没个伴儿，多害怕呀！再说，我喜欢看热闹哇！”
    盘古说：“姐姐说了，妹妹也说了，让我也说说吧。”姐妹俩说：“你咋说我们咋办！”
    盘古说：“就依太阳吧！”太阳高兴地就要上山，可又拐了回来。她说：“不行啊！人们都在看我，我怕羞！”
    月亮说：“太阳妹妹，我有一把金针，你拿着，谁敢看你，你就扎他的眼睛！”
    太阳接过金针，又和姐姐商量，每年十月一日姐妹相会。说罢，就告别盘古上山了。
    从这以后，一个白天放光，一个夜里放光，把大地打扮得很美很美。每年农历十月一日相会。会面后，太阳总要送月亮一段路。不信吗？每到十月，你站到盘古山和太白顶的峰上就能见到姐妹相别，日月升平的奇景。要说她俩送别时站有多远呢，一个站在你的左眼边，一个站在你右眼边，最多有丈把远。

盘古的传说——盘古开天
河南桐柏县民间传说

    很久以前，在天地没分的时候，天上有个叫盘古的神。这天，他走出南天门，在云彩里游玩。游来游去，面前忽然飘来一个大气包，挡住自己没法再往前游玩了。他一气之下，就用带在身上的斧子把气包砍破。气包一破就往下落。盘古追上去，见是一个大圆疙瘩石头就站上去。他觉着站不稳，就用斧子对准石头砍了些凹凹凸凸的点子。砍罢觉得劳累，就躺下歇息了。
    也不知过了多少年，盘古醒来了，见黑石头上砍的凸凸子成了大大小小的山，凹凹子成了河，遍地葱绿，比天上还美。他高兴极了，往远处一看，来了个年轻姑娘，朝他喊了声：“盘古！”盘古觉得奇怪，就问：“你是谁呢？”姑娘说“我是老天斧的三妮儿，我父亲见你开天辟地太劳累，一个人又太孤单，叫我来认你当哥哥。”
    从这以后，盘古和老天爷的三妮儿成了兄妹。老天爷叫风婆刮了一阵大风，吹掉了他俩身上的仙气，叫他俩忘掉天上的一切，开始了人间生活。
    盘古兄妹开始赤身露体，浑身没挂一根线，一天，走到水边，看见自己在水影中很丑，正没有办法时，树上落下几片叶子掉在妹妹身上，又飞下几片，护在了盘古身上，妹妹用九叶遮羞，盘古用七叶缠身，都用葛条缠在身上，打这儿盘古兄妹有了衣裳。
盘古兄妹在山上走哪儿住哪儿，鸟和兽都护着他俩。夜里，他俩靠着大树睡觉，鸟儿结满技丫遮露水，野兽卧在身边挡风寒。白天，鸟还为盘古兄妹遮太阳，挡雨。
    一次一只虎拦着一头小牛。眼看着小牛抵挡不过，就要成为虎食儿，盘古上前隔开。老虎不服，与盘古斗起来，盘古力气很大，又有神斧，那只老虎败阵逃走了。以后，虎用吼声唤来了成群的兽，成天围着盘古兄妹转来转去，盘古兄妹不得安宁。
盘古兄妹用树枝和野草搭成了茅庵，又费了七七四十九天的工夫做了一个又大又威风的石狮子，放在山顶上，还把这个山起名叫石狮子山。这一带有了石狮子镇守，没有妖怪和野兽打扰了，他俩的日子也好过了。
    盘古每天外出摘野果，采草籽，妹妹在家做饭。
    盘古每到石狮子跟前，总要围着玩一会儿，摸摸狮子的身子，亲亲狮子的脸。
    有一天，盘古兄妹一块儿来到山上，石狮子忽然说起话来，石狮子说：“天底下只有你们二人，最多能活一万八千岁，要是不结为夫妻，延续后代，多孤寂哇！”
    兄妹俩把脸一扭，说：“不中！不中！”石狮子说：“咋不中啊？”
    妹妹不吭，盘古对她说：“妹妹，千万不能答应啊！”妹妹又笑了笑。
    盘古生气了，他猛一转身，乌龟绊了他一跤。盘古一恼，拿起一块石头，把乌龟的壳砸碎了。
    妹妹很心疼乌龟，哭了起来。盘古想了想，说：“这样吧，如果乌龟能再活了，咱兄妹就成亲”。妹妹哭得更伤心了。
    石狮子说：“别哭了，你就把乌龟壳对拢起来吧。”妹妹把大小四五十块乌龟壳对在一起，石狮子一跳，泥土溅在乌龟壳上，乌 龟壳粘在一起了。从此乌龟壳上就有一块块的花纹。
    按理说，乌龟能活，兄妹就该成亲。盘古又说：“不行啊！还得让我们滚滚石磨，山上滚到山下，两扇石磨能合起来，兄妹成亲。”
    盘古兄妹各推一扇石磨，一个站在东山，一个站在南山。石狮子点了点头，两扇石磨一起滚下山来。石磨钴轱辘辘地滚着，天空起了一道虹。说也怪，这道虹象花带子一样，连接着兄妹二人。
    虹一起，他俩的石磨一齐滚到石狮子面前，“卡嚓”一声合在一起，磨盘合拢了，虹散了，地上开满了鲜花。
    盘古兄妹高兴极了，一齐跑下山来，跪到石狮子面前，磕磕头，结为夫妻了。石狮子说：“今后，你夫妻二人好好过日子，后人会永远供奉你们。”
    盘古兄妹成亲后，先后生了八个儿子，取名东、西、南、北、东南、西南、东北、西北。
    八个儿子长大了，盘古叫他们到八方方向去过日子。八个儿子去八方，盘古在中间，一共九个地方，以后划分天下为九州。
    八个儿子外出不到一百年，都死了（比起盘古夫妇的寿命，一百年也是短命）。盘古很伤心，到处寻找八方儿子的灵魂。
    盘古走遍了天涯海角，天南地北，把八个儿子的灵魂全部找回，埋在石狮子山南边。现在，盘古山以南三十里的“八子山”还在，还能分清哪是盘古的大儿、二儿、三儿，一直到第八个儿子的坟头。
    盘古埋了儿子后，很伤心，日子孤寥，夫妻俩就捏起泥人。今儿捏，明儿捏，捏了成千上万，晒了满场满院。
    盘古把泥人一摆弄，泥人就能走会跑了，妹妹给泥人一吹气，泥巴人就会说话了。又喊爹，又叫妈，盘古夫妻心里乐开了花。
    这一天，盘古夫妻商量，打算给每个泥人起个名字。泥巴人听盘古的吩咐，一个个从场院里跑出来。有的爬到桃树上，有的爬到梨树上，有的坐在石头上，爬到挑树上的叫桃，爬到梨树上的叫梨，坐在石头上叫石，站在河边上的就叫河......
    这些泥人跟着盘古夫妻学了好多本领，盘古夫妻就把泥人的名字当姓，送往各地过日子去了。他们有的到平地种田，有的去深山打猎，有的到河边捉鱼。
    年长日久了，盘古生活居住的石狮子山被后人叫作盘古山，山上修盘古庙，塑有盘古像。盘古爷和盘古奶的故事就在各地传开了。

    传说女娲是从大地里生长出来的女神，人首蛇身，神通非常广大。她是怎样造人的呢?有一种说法，说她跟众神合作，共同创造了人。《淮南子.说林训》上说："天神黄帝在造人时决定男女**别，天神上骈负责造出人的耳朵和眼睛，天神桑林专管造出人的手足四脚。这样来造人，尽管一天有多次化育（女娲七十化），可是毕竟速度太慢了些。于是女娲便想出个新办法，用手抟黄土造人。她将黄土加上水和成泥，在手中揉搓着，捏成了一个个小泥娃娃。说也奇怪，这些小东西刚一放在地上，就活了起来。女娲很高兴，用辛勤的劳动，不断地创造了自己的儿女。可是这样，一个一个地捏，还是太费力气：于是她又想出一个更简便的办法，把一箱荆条编成的大绳，放在黄泥上一甩，甩出来的泥点立刻变成了一个个小人，大地不久便出现了一群群活蹦乱跳的男男女女了。伟大的女神就这样造出了千百万的儿女，让大地布满了人类的足迹。

女娲是婚姻之神

天神女娲用辛勤的汗水完成了创造人类的伟大事业，似乎可以安心休息了，可是她并不满足。她又考虑到，怎样才能使人类永远生存下去呢?人总是要死的，死了一批，再造一批，那可太麻烦了。于是她就想把男人们和女人们配合起来，让他们自己去繁衍后代，这样人类的种子就可以绵绵不绝了。想到这儿，她便来到盘古祠前，向祠庙中的神祷告，请求做人类的媒约，得到了神的允许，她就把这个重任担当起来，替人类建立了婚姻制度。这样看来，女娲不但创造了人类，而且做了人类最早的媒人。所以后世的人们都把她奉为婚姻之神，非常隆重地祭祀她。感谢她给人们带来幸福。

(《神话传说三百篇》.第10－11页)  

伏羲女娲兄妹结婚

    造人，补天的女娲，还有一段与兄伏羲结婚而繁衍人类的神话。古书上说：女娲是伏羲的妹妹，有的说是伏羲的妻子，说女娲是个女天帝，是辅佐伏羲治理天下的。汉代的一些石刻画与砖画，都可以证明这个古老的神话。这些画像上的伏羲和女娲，腰身以上通常作人形，腰身以上则为蛇躯，两条尾巴紧紧地缠绕在一起。两个人的脸面，或者向着，或者背着。男的手里拿了曲尺，女的手里拿了圆规。或者是男的手里捧着太阳，太阳里面有一只金鸟：女的手里捧着月亮，月亮里面有一只蟾蜍(哈蟆)。还有的画像在两个人中间还挽着一个天真烂漫的孩子，这无疑是他们的爱子了。
    伏羲和女娲既然是亲兄妹，又怎样结婚呢?这里还有一段传说。原来伏羲、女娲还是十来岁孩子的时候，一连旱了六个月没下一滴雨。人们焦急万分，就去求他们的父亲张宝卜，据说这张宝卜会弄法术，连雷公也斗不过他。于是张宝卜对天上说：三天之内不下雨，我要雷公也跌下来!"果然不几天就下了一场大雨。可是因为张宝卜难为了雷公，雷公就想劈死他。张宝卜知道雷公的心思，便预先准备了一个大铁笼子放在屋檐下，手里握着一只猎虎的叉子站在笼子旁边等着。当霹雳一声接着一声，青脸雷公两眼射出凶光，手执板斧从空中劈下来的时候，张宝卜急忙用虎叉叉去，一下把雷公叉进铁笼，连笼子一起扛进屋里去。
    第二早晨，张宝卜要到市上去买香料，准备把雷公杀了，腌起来做酒菜。临走时叮嘱两个孩子说："记住，千万不要给他水喝"。
    张宝卜走后，雷公便在笼子里呻吟起来，装出很痛苦的样子，向孩子们要水喝。年龄大一点的男孩说："爸爸临走时说过，不能给你水喝。"雷公一再哀求说："我快要渴死了，给我几滴刷锅水也好啊!"年龄小一点的女孩见雷公口干舌燥，痛苦难忍，动了怜悯之心，就偷偷地留了一点水，给雷公喝了。雷公得了水，立刻有了精神，真是威力无比，法力无边。只见他在铁笼子里瞪着眼睛，身子动几动，铁笼子哗啦裂开了，雷公从里边腾地一声跳了出来。
    雷公从铁笼子里跳出来，心中非常高兴。为了感谢小女娲给他舀水喝，他在临走时从自己的口中拨掉一颗牙齿，递给伏羲兄妹，对他们说："你们把它拿出，小心地种在土地里，等它结果，就摘下来，挖出里面的瓤，一旦大水来临，你们就钻进里面去......"说完便升天而去了。
    两个孩子照雷公的话把牙齿种在土里，当天就开花结果，第二天便长成一个又大又圆的葫芦。
    不久，雷公为报复张宝卜，命令雨神日夜不停地降雨，洪水淹没了平原，淹没了村庄，淹没了高山，一直淹到天上。
    当洪水到来时，伏羲兄妹照雷公的话钻进葫芦里，浮在水面上，一直飘到天上。他们告诉雷公，地上的人和动物都淹死了，只有他们兄妹二人活下来了。
    后来，天上的太白金星对雷公很不满意，责备他说：“你这样做，叫天下的人都死绝了，以后谁来供奉你呢？”雷公听了，也觉得自己做得太过分了，未免有些后悔。于是，太白金星便想出个补救的办法，叫伏羲兄妹结为夫妻，再生出人类。
    伏羲兄妹说：“我们是兄妹，怎么好结为夫妻呢？要我们结婚，除非能把一根竹子割成一节一节的，再让它接起来”。
    神自然是什么都办得到的，那割成一节一节的竹子果然又接上了。竹子原来是无节的，经过这割了又接，就变成有节的植物了。
    伏羲兄妹结成夫妻两年后，生下一个怪物，是一块磨刀石。两个人非常生气，就把这个磨刀石打碎了，从高山上抛下去。掉在河里的，变成了鱼虾；跌在山头的，变成了鸟兽；落在村庄的，变成了老百姓。从此，天下又有了人和动物。

[edit] The Pangu legend
In the beginning there was nothing in the universe except a formless chaos. However this chaos coalesced into a cosmic egg for about 18,000 years. Within it, the perfectly opposed principles of Yin and Yang became balanced and Pangu emerged (or woke up) from the egg. Pangu is usually depicted as a primitive, hairy giant with horns on his head and clad in furs. Pangu set about the task of creating the world: he separated Yin from Yang with a swing of his giant axe, creating the Earth (murky Yin) and the Sky (clear Yang). To keep them separated, Pangu stood between them and pushed up the Sky. This task took 18,000 years; with each day the sky grew ten feet higher, the Earth ten feet wider, and Pangu ten feet taller. In some versions of the story, Pangu is aided in this task by the four most prominent beasts, namely the Turtle, the Qilin, the Phoenix, and the Dragon. After the 18,000 years had elapsed, Pangu was laid to rest. His breath became the wind; his voice the thunder; left eye the sun and right eye the moon; his body became the mountains and extremes of the world; his blood formed rivers; his muscles the fertile lands; his facial hair the stars and milky way; his fur the bushes and forests; his bones the valuable minerals; his bone marrows sacred diamonds; his sweat fell as rain; and the fleas on his fur carried by the wind became the fish and animals throughout the land. Nüwa the Goddess then used the mud of the water bed to form the shape of humans. These humans were very smart since they were individually crafted. Nüwa then became bored of individually making every human so she started putting a rope in the water bed and lettings the drops of mud that fell from it become new humans. These small drops became new humans, not as smart as the first. The first writer to record the myth of Pangu was Xu Zheng (徐整) during the Three Kingdoms (三國) period.

[edit] Origin of this myth
This article needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding reliable references (ideally, using inline citations). Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (May 2008)

Three main views emerge to describe the origin of the Pangu myth.

The first is that the story is indigenous, and developed or was transmitted through time to Xu Zheng. The evidence for this is slender indeed. It can only be assumed from the following discussion:
Senior Scholar Wei Juxian states that the Pangu story is derived from Western Zhou Dynasty (西周朝) stories 1000 years earlier. He cites the story of Zhong (重) and Li (黎) in the "Chuyu" section of the ancient classics Guoyu (國語). In it, the King Zhao of Chu asked Guanshefu (观射父) a question: "What did ancient classic "Zhou Shu" mean by the sentence that Zhong and Li caused the heaven and earth to disconnect from each other?" The "Zhou Shu" sentence he refers to is about an earlier person, Luu Xing, who is having a conversation with the King Mu of Zhou (周穆王). King Mu's reign is much earlier and dates to about 1001 to 946 BC. In their conversation, they discuss the "disconnection" between heaven and earth.
An indirect but possibly more substantive conclusion is that China is unique in not "creating" its creator. In this view, Xu Zheng (徐整) (or a relatively recent predecessor) perpetuates the Pangu myth from other cultural influences:
Professor Qin Naichang, head of the Guangxi Institute for Nationality Studies proposes the myth originated in Laibin city, Guangxi, in the center of the Pearl River Valley. He believes that there are older stories of Pangu from this region and that they originally involved two people. He suggests China has no myth about the creation of the universe and that the Chinese mythology of Pangu had come from India, Egypt, or Babylon. Apparently, this story mingled in with the origin stories of other cultures, eventually changing into the later narrative more popular today.
This is professor Qin's reconstruction of the true creation myth preceding the myth of Pangu. Note that it is not actually a creation myth:
"A brother and his sister became the only survivors of the prehistoric Deluge by crouching in a gourd that floated on water. The two got married afterwards, and a mass of flesh in the shape of a whetstone was born. They chopped it and the pieces turned into large crowds of people, who began to reproduce again. The couple were named 'Pan' and 'Gou' in the Zhuang ethnic language, which stand for whetstone and gourd respectively."
From Paul Carus, Chinese Astrology, Early Chinese Occultism, 1974, from an earlier book by the same author, Chinese Thought, 1907, Chapter on “Chinese Occultism.” Note: in 1907 the Wade-Giles system of transliteration was used.
“P’an-Ku: The basic idea of the yih philosophy was so convincing that it almost obliterated the Taoist cosmology of P’an-Ku who is said to have chiseled the world out of the rocks of eternity. Though the legend is not held in high honor by the literati, it contains some features of interest which have not as yet been pointed out and deserve at least an incidental comment.
“P’an-Ku is written in two ways: one means in literal translations, “basin ancient”, the other “basin solid”. Both are homophones, i.e., they are pronounced the same way; and the former may be preferred as the original and correct spelling. Obviously the name means “aboriginal abyss,” or in the terser German, Urgrund, and we have reason to believe it to be a translation of the Babylonian Tiamat, “the Deep.”
“The Chinese legend tells us that P’an-Ku’s bones changed to rocks; his flesh to earth; his marrow, teeth and nails to metals; his hair to herbs and trees; his veins to rivers; his breath to wind; and his four limbs became pillars marking the four corners of the world, -- which is a Chinese version not only of the Norse myth of the Giant Ymir, but also of the Babylonian story of Tiamat.
“Illustrations of P’an-Ku represent him in the company of supernatural animals that symbolize old age or immortality, viz., the tortoise and the crane; sometimes also the dragon, the emblem of power, and the phenix, the emblem of bliss.
“When the earth had thus been shaped from the body of P’an-Ku, we are told that three great rivers successively governed the world: first the celestial, then the terrestrial, and finally the human sovereign. They were followed by Yung-Ch’eng and Sui-Jen (i.e., fire-man) the later being the Chinese Prometheus, who brought the fire down from heaven and taught man its various uses.
“The Prometheus myth is not indigenous to Greece, where it received the artistically classical form under which it is best known to us. The name, which by an ingenious afterthought is explained as “the fore thinker,” is originally the sanskrit pramantha and means “twirler” or “fire-stick,” being the rod of hard wood which produced fire by rapid rotation in a piece of soft wood.
“We cannot deny that the myth must have been known also in Mesopotamia, the main center of civilization between India and Greece, and it becomes probable that the figure Sui-Jen has been derived from the same prototype as the Greek Prometheus.”

[edit] Other Chinese creation myths
This myth appears to have been preceded in ancient Chinese literature by the existence of Shangdi or Taiyi. Other Chinese myths, such as those of Nuwa, or the Jade Emperor, try to explain how people were created; and do not necessarily represent "world creation" myths. It is important to note there are many variations of these myths.


[edit] Other Pangu myth
Pangu is also honored as the creator of the world in Buyei legend, but in addition, he is also honored as the ancestor of Buyei people. According to the Buyei legend, Pangu became an expert in rice farming after creating the world, and subsequently married the daughter of Dragon King, and that was the beginning of Buyei people. The daughter of Dragon King and Pangu had a son named Xinheng (新横) but later, the son disrespected his mother, and the angry mother returned to heaven and never came down, despite the repeated pleas of her husband and son. Pangu was forced to remarry and eventually died on the sixth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar and Xinheng's nightmare had begun. The stepmother treated Xinheng badly and almost killed him, and the angry Xinheng threatened to destroy the rice harvest of his stepmother. Realizing her mistake, the stepmother made peace with Xinheng and since then, on every sixth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, they paid their respect to Pangu. The day became an important traditional Buyei holiday for ancestral worship. This legend of creation is one of the main characteristics that distinguishes Buyei from Zhuang.


[edit] Pangu worship
Pangu is worshipped at a number of shrines in contemporary China. However, most if not all of these are modern creations built since the 1970s. In these shrines, Pangu is usually depicted in stereotypical "caveman" regalia, with leopard-skin tunics and long hair. Taoist symbols, such as the Bagua, are associated with Pangu in these shrines.

The Pangu King Temple built in 1809 is located in Guangzhou Province, NW Huadu District (west of G106 / north of S118), north of Shiling Town at the foot of the Pangu King Mountain (http://www.luopan.com/t/en_US/510000L000158.html). The Huadu District is located north of Guangzhou to the west of the Baiyun International Airport.

Pan Gu Makes the World

In the beginning , the heavens and earth were still one and all was chaos. The universe was like a big black egg, carrying Pan Gu inside itself. After 18 thousand years Pan Gu woke from a long sleep. He felt suffocated, so he took up a broadaxe and wielded it with all his might to crack open the egg. The light, clear part of it floated up and formed the heavens, the cold, turbid matter stayed below to form earth. Pan Gu stood in the middle, his head touching the sky, his feet planted on the earth. The heavens and the earth began to grow at a rate of ten feet per day, and Pan Gu grew along with them. After another 18 thousand years, the sky was higher, the earth thicker, and Pan Gu stood between them like a pillar 9 million li in height so that they would never join again.

When Pan Gu died, his breath became the wind and clouds, his voice the rolling thunder. One eye became the sun and one the moon. His body and limbs turned to five big mountains and his blood formed the roaring water. His veins became far-stretching roads and his muscles fertile land. The innumerable stars in the sky came from his hair and beard, and flowers and trees from his skin and the fine hairs on his body. His marrow turned to jade and pearls. His sweat flowed like the good rain and sweet dew that nurtured all things on earth. According to some versions of the Pan Gu legend, his tears flowed to make rivers and radiance of his eyes turned into thunder and lighting. When he was happy the sun shone, but when he was angry black clouds gathered in the sky. One version of the legend has it that the fleas and lice on his body became the ancestors of mankind.

The Pan Gu story has become firmly fixed in Chinese tradition. There is even an saying relating to it: 'Since Pan Gu created earth and the heavens', meaning 'for a very long time'. Nevertheless, it is rather a latecomer to the catalogue of Chinese legends. The first mention of it is in a book on Chinese myths written by Xu Zheng in the Three Kingdoms period (AD 220-265). Some opinions hold that it originated in south China or southeast Asia.

There are several versions of the Pan Gu story.

Among the Miao, Yao, Li and other nationalities of south China, a legend concerns Pan Gu the ancestor of all mankind, with a man's body and a dog's head. It runs like this:

Up in Heaven the god in charge of the earth, King Gao Xin, owned a beautiful spotted dog. He reared him on a plate (pan in Chinese) inside a gourd (hu, which is close to the sound gu), so the dog was known as Pan Gu. Among the gods there was great enmity between King Gao Xin and his rival King Fang. "Whoever can bring me the head of King Fang may marry my daughter" he proclaimed, but nobody was willing to try because they were afraid of King Fang's strong soldiers and sturdy horses.

The dog Pan Gu overheard what was said, and when Gao Xin was sleeping, slipped out of the palace and ran to King Fang. The latter was glad to see him standing there wagging his tail. " You see, King Gao Xin is near his end. Even his dog has left him" Fang said, and held a banquet for the occasion with the dog at his side.

At midnight when all was quiet and Fang was overcome with drink, Pan Gu jumped onto the king's bed, bit off his head and ran back to his master with it . King Gao Xin was overjoyed to see the head of his rival, and gave orders to bring Pan Gu some fresh meat. But Pan Gu left the meat untouched and curled himself up in a corner to sleep. For three days he ate nothing and did not stir.

The king was puzzled and asked, " Why don't you eat? Is it because I failed to keep my promise of marrying a dog?" To his surprise Pan Gu began to speak. "Don't worry, my King. Just cover me with your golden bell and in seven days and seven nights I'll become a man." The King did as he said, but on the sixth day, fearing he would starve to death, out of solicitude the princess peeped under the bell. Pan Gu's body had already changed into that of a man, but his head was still that of a dog. However, once the bell was raised, the magic change stopped, and he had to remain a man with a dog's head.

He married the princess, but she didn't want to be seen with such a man so they moved to the earth and settled in the remote mountains of south China. There they lived happily and had four children, three boys and a girl, who became the ancestors of mankind.

In south China Pan Gu is known as King Pan, and temples and pavilions were once built in his honour.

Pan Gu Creates the World  


Chinese legend says Pan Gu created the world by separating the heaven and the earth from chaos. In the beginning, the universe was like an egg and there was only chaos in the egg. Pan Gu had slept in the egg for over 18,000 years. Then one day, he woke up and cracked the egg into pieces. By separating the heavy and light parts of the egg, he created the heaven and the earth. Pan Gu stood on the earth and held up the heaven using his hands, and then he had grown with the heaven until the form of the world for another 18,000 years.

In Chinese Daoist legend, the first man. He came forth from Chaos (an egg) with two horns, two tusks, and a hairy body. He used his knowledge of yin-yang to separate heaven and earth, set the Sun, Moon, stars, and planets in place, and divide the four seas. He also shaped the earth by chiseling out valleys and stacking up mountains. Another legend says that the universe derived from Pan Gu's gigantic corpse. His eyes became the Sun and Moon, his blood formed rivers, his hair grew into trees and plants, and the human race sprang from parasites that infested his body. In art, he is often shown as a dwarf clothed with leaves.

Obviously the name means “aboriginal abyss,” or in the terser German, Urgrund, and we have reason to believe it to be a translation of the Babylonian Tiamat, “the Deep.”
“The Chinese legend tells us that P’an-Ku’s bones changed to rocks; his flesh to earth; his marrow, teeth and nails to metals; his hair to herbs and trees; his veins to rivers; his breath to wind; and his four limbs became pillars marking the four corners of the world, -- which is a Chinese version not only of the Norse myth of the Giant Ymir, but also of the Babylonian story of Tiamat.
“Illustrations of P’an-Ku represent him in the company of supernatural animals that symbolize old age or immortality, viz., the tortoise and the crane; sometimes also the dragon, the emblem of power, and the phenix, the emblem of bliss.
“When the earth had thus been shaped from the body of P’an-Ku, we are told that three great rivers successively governed the world: first the celestial, then the terrestrial, and finally the human sovereign. They were followed by Yung-Ch’eng and Sui-Jen (i.e., fire-man) the later being the Chinese Prometheus, who brought the fire down from heaven and taught man its various uses.
“The Prometheus myth is not indigenous to Greece, where it received the artistically classical form under which it is best known to us. The name, which by an ingenious afterthought is explained as “the fore thinker,” is originally the sanskrit pramantha and means “twirler” or “fire-stick,” being the rod of hard wood which produced fire by rapid rotation in a piece of soft wood.
“We cannot deny that the myth must have been known also in Mesopotamia, the main center of civilization between India and Greece, and it becomes probable that the figure Sui-Jen has been derived from the same prototype as the Greek Prometheus.”

Other Chinese creation myths
This myth appears to have been preceded in ancient Chinese literature by the existence of Shangdi or Taiyi. Other Chinese myths, such as those of Nuwa, or the Jade Emperor, try to explain how people were created; and do not necessarily represent "world creation" myths. It is important to note there are many variations of these myths.


Other Pangu myth
Pangu is also honored as the creator of the world in Buyei legend, but in addition, he is also honored as the ancestor of Buyei people. According to the Buyei legend, Pangu became an expert in rice farming after creating the world, and subsequently married the daughter of Dragon King, and that was the beginning of Buyei people. The daughter of Dragon King and Pangu had a son named Xinheng (新横) but later, the son disrespected his mother, and the angry mother returned to heaven and never came down, despite the repeated pleas of her husband and son. Pangu was forced to remarry and eventually died on the sixth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar and Xinheng's nightmare had begun. The stepmother treated Xinheng badly and almost killed him, and the angry Xinheng threatened to destroy the rice harvest of his stepmother. Realizing her mistake, the stepmother made peace with Xinheng and since then, on every sixth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, they paid their respect to Pangu. The day became an important traditional Buyei holiday for ancestral worship. This legend of creation is one of the main characteristics that distinguishes Buyei from Zhuang.


Pangu worship
Pangu is worshipped at a number of shrines in contemporary China. However, most if not all of these are modern creations built since the 1970s. In these shrines, Pangu is usually depicted in stereotypical "caveman" regalia, with leopard-skin tunics and long hair. Taoist symbols, such as the Bagua, are associated with Pangu in these shrines.

Creation of Heaven and Earth by Pangu is the creative myth that was spread in the Orient in ancient times.

Story has it that the heaven and earth were integrated into one body that resembles an egg, with Pangu slept inside. He slept for about 18000 years and then awoke. He found that he was in a vast of dark; therefore, he expanded his huge hands and cut into the darkness. After an explosion, the heaven and earth started to split. He feared that the heaven and earth may come together again, so he held the heaven with his hands and trod his legs on the land. His body grew three meters every day. Consequently, the distance between the heaven and earth became three meters longer every day. Time flies! Another 18000 years passed and now, the heaven became far away from the earth and the earth was now very thick. At the same time, Pangu also grew to a huge man. During this period, the heaven continued ascending and expanding while the earth sinking and thickening until the distance between them was as far as 90,000 kilometers which had reached the extreme. That was the condition of the universe in our eyes at present. Pangu gradually weakened after he separated the heaven and the earth. After he died, his body turned into all the things in the universe. His left eye became the sun and his right eye, the moon. The protruded parts in his body turn out to be high mountains and his blood became rivers. His muscle became the soil field, and his hair and beard became the stars on the sky and grasses on the ground. His teeth and bones turned out to be iron and huge stone while the essence in his body became pearls and precious jade. His breath became the wind and cloud, his shout became the thunderbolt, and the sweat turned out to be the rain. A lot of insects on his body were blown by wind into living human beings. This story was first appeared in Sanwu Liji written by Xu Zheng in the Three Kingdoms Period.

The myth of Pangu was pervasively spread among the southern ethnic minorities long long ago. Both of the Miao and Yao people took Pangu as their ancestors. So far, the Zhuang people are still singing "Song about Pangu Creating the Heaven and Earth". The song goes like this: Pangu split the heaven and the earth, and created the sun, moon and other stars. It is thanks to Pangu that human beings can get brightness... From historical record and oral tales, we can detect the evolution trace of the myth of Pangu in the process of spreading. Pangu split the heaven and the earth, seeded all the things in the universe and turned into the heaven and the earth. He is not only the god that created the world but also the hero who broke darkness and sought brightness. Pangu will forever remain living in the minds of generations after generations of the Chinese people.

Chinese Legends Of Emperor Huangdi And How The World Was Formed

Chinese Legends, translated and sent to me by my friend, Yin Cheng Chang of Hunan Province, because whenever I visit China, I am always buying books about Chinese Legends and the Chinese Classics! I hope you will enjoy reading them as much as I have done.

Chinese legends about Emperors and the gods they petitioned for guidance and help, are amongst the many Chinese classic stories, that have become subjects of films and television programs. Every country has its share of legends in one form or another, and the Chinese Legends compare favourably with any of them. England has its legend of Saint George who slew a troublesome dragon. Hanoi in Vietnam has a legend of a sword-bearing turtle in Hoan Kiem Lake. Is the story of, 'Jack and The Beanstalk', a legend or a fairystory?

There are many Chinese Legends about the Emperors, but before they came into existence, Pangu was born and separated Ying and Yang. The Chinese Legend about Pangu, the first born in the universe, and the changes that occured during the last moments of his life, in some ways compare with the religious scriptures about the creation of the world. In the Chinese Legend of Pangu, the ancestors of all men and women of this world were the insects on his body.

Chinese Legend Of Emperor Huangdi And His Half-Brother
Emperor Yangdi shared the country with his half brother Emperor Huangdi. Huangdi ruled by virtue, but Yangdi did not. They fought a battle in the Plain Of Zhulu where so much blood was shed that weapons floated on it.
(Yi Shi - A Book of History.)

Chinese legend of how Emperor Huangdi fought Emperor Yangdi in the Plain Of Banquan (also called Plain Of Zhulu) His vanguard was made up of bears, wolves, pheasants, eagles and kites.
(Lie Zi - Writings Of Lie Yu Kou.)

Emperor Huangdi And His Black Pearl In A Chinese Legend.
There is a Chinese legend of how Emperor Huangdi traveled to the northern side of the Chishui River and climbed the Kunlun Mountains. On the way back he lost his black pearl. He sent Zhi, a clever god, to find it, but Zhi failed. Then he sent Lizhu, a god with a sharp eye, who also failed. Then he sent Chigou, a god good at debating, who again failed. The Chinese Ledend tells how he finally sent Xiangwang, a careless absent-minded god, and Xiangwang found it. "It is really strange", the Emperor exclaimed, "that Xiangwang should have got it !"

Emperor Huangdi Subdues Four Other Emperors
In the early days of his reign, according to Chinese Legends, Emperor Huangdi was devoted to self-cultivation, he loved his people and had no interest in warfare. Four chiefs, claimed that they were the Blue Emperor, the Red Emperor, the White Emperor and the Black Emperor, according to the color of the direction that each of them was situated. The Chinese Legend says that the four conspired together and daily harassed the frontier areas. The soldiers were always on the alert, unable to take off their helmets and armour for a moment. Emperor Huangdi said "If the King is not safe, his subjects will have no security. If the King loses his country, his officials will serve other rulers just like women re-marrying other men. Is such a disaster not caused by giving the enemy too much freedom ? Now I am ruler of all the people, but the bandits dare to defy me and provoke my troops frequently."

So he went to the frontier forts and subdued the four Emperors.

A Chinese Legend Of How Pangu Separates The Sky From The Earth.
According to the Chinese Legend, 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 Chinese Legend states that these numbers came into existence and evolved like this:- The numbers begin with one, become established as three, are completed at five, prosper at seven and end in nine. So the sky is ninety thousand li from the earth.

" " " "Pangu, appearing in literature no earlier than about 200 AD, was the first sentient being and creator. In the beginning there was nothing but a formless chaos. Out of this chaos there was born an egg for eighteen thousand years. When the forces of Yin and Yang balanced, Pangu emerged from the egg, and set about the task of creating the world. He separated Yin and Yang with a swing of his great axe. The heavy Yin sank to become the Earth, while the light Yang rose to become the Heavens. Pangu stood between them, and pushed up the sky. At the end of eighteen thousand years, Pangu laid to rest. His breath became the wind; his voice the thunder; left eye the sun and right eye the moon; his body became the mountains and extremes of the world; his blood formed rivers; his muscles the fertile lands; his facial hair the stars and milky way; his fur the bushes and forests; his bones the valuable minerals; his bone marrows sacred diamonds; his sweat fell as rain; and the little creatures on his body (in some versions, the fleas), carried by the wind, became human beings all over the world. " " " " Src: Wikipedia

Chinese Legend of How Pangu Turns Into Myriads Of Things
Pangu, who was born before anything else, underwent great bodily changes when he was dying. His breath became the winds and clouds, his voice thunder, his left eye the moon, his arms and legs the four poles of the earth, and the five parts of his body, the five mountains. His blood formed the rivers and his veins the roads. His flesh and skin became the soil of the fields and his hair and moustache the stars. The fine hair on his skin turned into grasses and trees, his teeth and bones became metals and rocks. His marrow changed to pearls and jade and his sweat fell as rain that nourished all things. The insects on his body, caressed by the winds, took the shape of men and women.

Nuwa Makes Rich Men, and Poor Men, in Chinese Legends
It is said that there were no men when the sky and the earth were separated. In the Chinese Legends it is said that Nuwa made men by moulding yellow clay. The work was so taxing, that her strength was not equal to it, so she dipped a rope into the mud and then lifted it. The mud that dripped from the rope also became men. Those made by moulding yellow clay were rich and noble, while those made by lifting the rope were poor and low.
(Yi Shi - A Book of History.)
Nuwa Mends The Sky With Melted Rocks In Chinese Legend
In ancient times, the four corners of the sky collapsed and the world with its nine regions split open. The sky could not cover all the things under it, nor could the earth carry all the things on it. A great fire raged and would not die out; a fierce flood raced about and could not be checked; savage beasts devoured innocent people, and vicious birds preyed on the weak and old.

The Nuwa melted rocks of five colors and used them to mend the cracks in the sky. She supported the four corners of the sky with legs which she had cut off a giant turtle. She killed the black dragon to save the people of Jizhou, and blocked the floods with the ashes of reeds. Thus the sky was mended, its four corners lifted, the flood tamed, Jizhou pacified, harmful birds and beasts killed, and the innocent people were able to live on the square earth under the dome of the sky. It was the time when birds, beasts, insects and snakes no longer used their claws or teeth or poisonous sting, for they did not want to catch or eat weaker things.

Nuwa's deeds benefited the heavens above and the earth below. Her name was remembered by later generations and her light shone on every creation. Now she was traveling on a thunder-chariot drawn by a two winged dragon and two green hornless dragons, with auspicious objects in her hands and a special mattress underneath her. She was surrounded by golden clouds, a white dragon leading the way and a flying snake following behind.

Floating freely over the clouds, she took ghosts and gods to the ninth heaven and had an audience with the Heavenly Emperor at Lin Men, where she rested in peace and dignity under the Emperor. She never boasted of her achievements, nor did she try to win any renown; she wanted to conceal her virtues, in line with the ways of the universe.

Finally, here is a translation of a Chinese Song sent to me by my friend Zhong Ri Sheng of Guangxi Province.

Zhun Shi Hao leaves his family and friends,
Works hard to earn a living,
His life is like an actor's,
His face does not show the feelings of his heart and mind.
Rice wine is his comfort to sleep,
He thinks of the brave sailors,
Fighting through wind and rain.
In his half-sleep he hears the sailors say,
"This heartache does not matter,
Don't fear for the future,
At least we can still have our dreams."
Zhun Shi Hao wipes away his tears.
Don't ask why !





    

         Long life, those who do not have the matter really to do was too bored, they also did not have what matter well to do, created the world to this to extinguish the world to have the interest, also invested. One occasionally also play the reincarnation samsara, tastes the world hundred condition.
             The reason that the practice becomes the powerhouse strength is inferior to these ancient road level, the first sun level powerhouse, on the one hand is because has not waited for the practice to achieve them highly to extinguish kills; On the other hand, is also most important, on the one hand, that is the ancient road level, the sun level powerhouse they are the world universe highest good incarnation first, the practice cultivates oneself according to religious doctrine not is repairing them, to study them? They have also controlled in the world universe that part of overwhelming majority resources, cannot fight with them.
            Moreover, approaching is a practice, the practice is carries on the practice through between the absorption dissociation and the world each kind of world divine and wonderful spirit, and feels becomes aware road of each kind of utilization. These resources or have not been controlled by these powerhouses the terrestrial pole few part of resources, like this measures are too few, is unable with it to contend with radically; Or was the absorption belongs to these powerhouse's resources, the result is has become their part, must receive their enormous restriction at least. These practice have the creation ability, also just is belongs between the world existence to unfold originally by another kind of shape.
               However, some practice, through the very few resources' absorption, develop own potential unceasingly, creates many existences, also only then these practice can repair all day long the level, the road level powerhouse. But they more or less have absorbed many world between universe existences and so on world divine and wonderful spirit, therefore they are impossible to achieve or to surmount these ancient road level, the first sun level powerhouse.
               Some top powerhouse, thought that if has a place not any world divine and wonderful spirit, the practice depends upon completely develops own potential, grows out of nothing, true creation, then not may get rid of this kind of fetter, achieved even is surmounting the first sun level, the ancient road level powerhouse!


    The person such one kind of existence, hopefully achieves. Because they will practice the martial arts to produce them saying that to a Yuan existence, materially this will be gas of really the chaos, will be the chaos essence, will live!
            But in this kind of situation's practice speed is slow, the difficulty is also big, also does not exist does not have any world divine and wonderful spirit place like this, has, that is a side inaccessible remote areas inevitably!
           Without the world divine and wonderful spirit place, on the one hand the life is very short, on the other hand is impossible to have, because the world divine and wonderful spirit may be reincarnated the samsara which nourishes produces not to extinguish the soul unceasingly, the soul can accumulate th another th the experience. Will have such soul person to be also doomed, will be impossible to become the first sun level, the ancient road level powerhouse, because their practice will be in has world divine and wonderful spirit place that practice to come.
            Without the world divine and wonderful spirit place, on the one hand the life is very short, on the other hand is impossible to have, because the world divine and wonderful spirit may be reincarnated the samsara which nourishes produces not to extinguish the soul unceasingly, the soul can accumulate th another th the experience. Will have such soul person to be also doomed, will be impossible to become the first sun level, the ancient road level powerhouse, because their practice will be in has world divine and wonderful spirit place that practice to come.

Some powerhouses thought that does not have the world divine and wonderful spirit place, although does not have, but the strength powerhouse extremely may create. The life is short, then on beginning to be hightly. In a paradise person of birth is the immortal, a god birth is the god, a Saint day birth is the Saint, the chaos territory is born is also the Saint level extremely, then or chaos territory this kind of place creates one in the Saint day not to have the world divine and wonderful spirit place extremely to be hopeful.
      The life is short, but also has practices slowly, person many hopeful, time long also hopeful. 10,000,000,000th, 100,000,000,000 peoples, 110,000,000,000 years, the general meeting are born such a powerhouse.
     Therefore, some top powerhouse then created many this kinds in the Saint day not to have the world divine and wonderful spirit potential surface, did the experiment. The chaos territory environment extremely excessively is extremely bad, is not suitable. After they create this kind of potential surface, but also collects or the compilation many practice martial arts top merit knack for these place person, and creates each kind of advantage to help its growth.
           Finally, after these places create after more than 500,000 years, was born two ancient road level powerhouse, a named “Noa” female as well as a named “square boat” man. Their Confucian orthodoxy is called: “humanity”!
             At this time another extinguishes war of arrival the world, Noa, the square boat does not endure to see the world cosmic inventory are destroyed, 1,000,100,000,000 lives that died, stands firmly, in the practice comes one side the powerhouse, becomes the practice leader, by the polite name is “the person emperor”! Leads them to launch the audiences to say the war. Although they have become the ancient road level master, the strength is also very strong, but obtains enlightenment the date and time to be also short after all, although also has the very big potential, but did not have to transform completely as the strength.
            Moreover, the practice ancient road level powerhouse only then they, is overwhelmed by sheer numbers. However is following at the same time which they are born, but also has in large numbers is similarly the practice “the humanity” road level, day level, Saint level, god level powerhouse, their strength formerly these practice strength, but strove to excel are too certainly more than!
         This time extinguishes the world audiences saying that the war is all time extinguishes war in the world most frigid one time, the world cosmic inventory nearly complete disintegration, returns to the chaos, even the chaos had one big piece to annihilate. Besides the sun, the tunnel, other ancient road level powerhouse, the sun level powerhouse, the chaos clansman perish completely first, the extremely few part has a spirit to know surviving.
             That one time effect also extreme good which extinguishes the world to bring, obtained the advantage biggest is naturally the sun and is typical. Because of that war, their strength strong in was born finally by far the ancient road level powerhouse who or is restores. Because the source limits, they are impossible to embezzle all resources.
             Although the tunnel is also has no intention heartlessly, but actually compares the low key, gentle even to be possible to describe to honestly, so long as does not provoke it. But the sun has been different, the sun control desire, the cruel degree are intense, “the world is unkind, take the myriad things as the dogs and hay worthless thing; Under the sun, is the ants” is to it most vivid portrayal.
              

           As soon as before person emperor Noa, the person emperor square boat as well as does the powerhouse who the practice comes to defeat the back dies, the `Pan Gu ' the human boys as well as for a long time saved with the universe between `' the level tomahawk deposit in the essence which they perished are defeated and dispersed, held into a `egg with final supernatural power Canada ', let Pan Gu breed thousand Wanzai in inside, realized from experience humanity all sorts of feelings to become aware, has ended in the ancient road level master, broken `shell '! Pan Gu has become the humanity inheritance, becomes the new generation person emperor, road of the Pan Gu is also humanity another kind of name.
            Pan Gu obtains enlightenment, but, sun leads one group of powerhouses to launch to it extinguishes kills the motion. Although Pan Gu is formidable, also some `' the level tomahawk in the hand, how is overwhelmed by sheer numbers, linked the tomahawk to break finally.
             Before the body dies, in Pan Gu from Pan Gu abstains the move of these stave `egg shell ' and the remaining essence, constructs of one mysterious incomparable taboo, the incarnation becomes place of the `Pan Gu ' Yu Shengtian. All living things which lets between the world are not having been through repeatedly the mission which perishes, spread has given the posterity. This is place of the Pan Gu origin!
              Place's of the Pan Gu taboo can be very formidable, said that the level powerhouse acts with all one's strength only then can enter. Moreover after entering, repairs extremely is also compressed for the magical powers, in here, the strength which a Saint level master can display, but also does not compare a world of mortals to cultivate true virtue the level master to use the magical powers the might.
           Place of the Pan Gu was also naturally defers to at that time was born person emperor Noa, the person emperor square boat that kind of powerhouse's environment structure to become, certainly this also had the little difference. Place of the Pan Gu has three boundary constitutions, for the Pan Gu star's east side mainland, is together the even-numbered month mainland, the Pan Gu star back also some piece of Saint territory mainland, the Saint territory mainland has the connection to have a different dimension space.
     Has been born later 1,000,000,000,000 for many years place in the Pan Gu, place of outside the Pan Gu passed through over a hundred times has plundered. Place of the Pan Gu still stands erect in here, even also once in several times extinguished the world audiences saying that in the war transported had fought the strength since birth, supported the war. Place of outside the Pan Gu may say that is place of the Pan Gu front, the Saint territory mainland is also the even-numbered month mainland front.

             Because person emperor Noa, the person emperor square boat that group of people's strength has been too terrorist, therefore the ancient road level, in the sun level powerhouse's some then forcefully break place of the Pan Gu defense to enter place of the first Pan Gu, then extinguishes world one time place of every 1,000,000 year about in the Pan Gu time. Sun, in the majority of time exist place of this stretch of world between Pan Gu, the incarnation for the control world situation “the destiny”, plays with in the major part person and the stock palm.
          Certainly, extinguishes the world place in the Pan Gu, they only could achieve extinguish massacre majority of wisdom biology this degree, the Pan Gu body died when have enlarged especially regarding theirs strength limit degree. They must exercise place in the Pan Gu extinguish the world motion, can only use other methods, but is not extinguishes directly kills, but their indeed also some are the methods.
             Because place of the Pan Gu does not have the world divine and wonderful spirit, therefore here person has not been reincarnated the samsara such one kind of phenomenon, because `the shape extinguishes, then the god disperses '! After the mortal body does not exist, the long time, most 7749 days completely will have dissipated between the world. But, in here road level master's spirit knowledge is the eternal life between this world, their spirit knows sends the mortal body ash to fly the smoke to extinguish can also be reincarnated the rebirth, after the samsara returns finally.
              These ancient road level, in the sun level master, is not first all powerhouses is stands in extinguishes world this standpoint, looks like in the practice also to have many are is wanted to extinguish powerhouse of the world to receive for the subordinate is the same. Has experienced that many in society sorrow, a lot of samsara, some cold blood's powerhouse also becomes originally even more has `the human ' the nature. They believed that all consciousness body similarly is this stretch of world universe, should all living things equality!
               My great wild goose honored is in this kind of group of powerhouses' one, did not approve this kind to extinguish the world act, was also in the past on good terms with Pan Gu, was really hits it off well with one another. Place of after the Pan Gu body Pan Gu, I handle some business, has stayed in here, becomes Pan Gu to abstain protects abstains the messenger.
               Place of the Pan Gu each time extinguishes the world, I will die in battle, afterward the samsara rebirth, after awakened, also sought for the owner who new Pan Gu abstained. Already had 1,000,000 times! I have accompanied in 1,000,000 people the dragon wind, they unusual outstanding, has written the inspiring heroic history of blood and tear really, which one time isn't the generous elegy!
                 However, I have not always given up, also not dejected. I believed that so long as place of the Pan Gu also, also hopeful, when I certainly place of the Pan Gu will present the level master that one day! 10,000 year ago extinguishes the world motion, presented the favorable turn, although has many powerhouses to perish, but place's of Pan Gu all foundations also, many precious resources can preserve.”

the author: Desert day wave
            The great wild goose honored old tear vertically and horizontally, sad dark green eternally was relating all these, were saying these he had said to  minlions human beening hero's the similar words, 1,000,000,000,000 years institute accumulates sentiment of the inexhaustible vicissitudes is infecting Dugu, also changed Dugu many more, has planted a hero's solemn and stirring heart in a Dugu moral nature!
            
            Dugu this time also has tears streaming down the face, as soon as the moved side, honored does obeisance deeply to the great wild goose: “the even-numbered month mainland's nighttime sky, trillion stars were recounting as if the eternal story, is recording another civilized starting, another civilized demise, pair of bright moonlight like pair of bright both eyes look at this world all vicissitudes, the humans affair vicissitude.
             The nether world strength has been impelling all these. Unceasing extinguishes the world, the repeat in cycles. Once, had many world person not to extinguish outstanding for the human culture makes the difficult endeavor, but was flowing the regrettable tears conclusion life finally, helpless.
              
           The eternal life you in this stretch of world's, harbors inexhaustible sad dark green looks at all these, but you have not always given up struggling, you really too made one respect! As soon as please receive me to do obeisance!”
       Dugu thought now before really what blames god and man for own that bitter experience was too should not, oneself this sorrow, is extinguished with that innumerable times innocent 10,000,000,000,000,000 all living things which killed to compare, was really in is extremely tiny.
                The great wild goose honored cancels on face's old tear: “, you whether is willing to step onto road which of the mission this approaching is unable to complete?”
          Dugu: “wants! Even if this is a road of no return, even if I must give up all for it, I must walk! By my base and low strength, protects the even-numbered month mainland, to protect responsibility of place of the Pan Gu, for between vast universe's 10,000,000,000,000,000 all living things are not extinguished heartlessly kill make the resistance.”
          
        

              Great wild goose honored gratified incomparable: “is very good, Pan Gu abstains the owner is the heroic children! Even if is on owner ancient magical powers, I have not awakened the return, tells him all these, is also so. However by you at present the god level later period the crest strength, really has been too weak, if the war can only act as the cannon fodder.
              However I saw the hope on yours body!
