Chinese Creation Myth

In the beginning...
When the sky was far enough away, Pangu then began to shape the earth. He formed rivers and mountains and waterfall.
One day the egg burst, releasing Pangu, known to some as a god in the image of man, and to others as a great dragon. When the egg burst Pangu pushed the two halves away from each other, separating all of the opposites. Thus, Earth began to take shape.
He gathered light and threw it into the sky to form stars
There was a great egg that contained chaos. Yin and Yang and all opposites were inside of this egg.
Over the next 18,000 years, Pangu grew 10 feet each day, pushing the sky farther and farther away.
NuWa is heralded as the mother of all humans.
After he finished, Pangu lied down to rest, never to rise again. When he died his body became mountains, his hair became flowers, his bones became jade, and one eye became the sun and the other the moon.
After the earth was formed, a goddess named NuWa was born from the mixture of Yin and Yang. She was half-dragon and very lonely on the empty earth. She decided to create something she could talk to and love.
NuWa went down to the Yellow River and from it's banks sculpted man out of the mud. As soon as they were created, they began to talk and sing and dance. NuWa was so happy. She made more and more humans but soon realized how long it would take for her to make enough to cover the earth. She then flung drops of mud across the land. When the drops dried, they became humans too.
