The world presented a picture of great vitality after Pan Gu’s creation. The Sun shined in the daytime while the moon glowed at night. The tress and grass flourished. And rivers never ceased to run. Nüwa was joyful to see this, but meanwhile she was always immersed in loneliness and felt something was missing.
In the remote ages, the world was in complete indistinguishable chaos like a giant egg. Pan Gu, creator of the universe, was born in it. He grew bigger and stronger when sleeping in it for over 18,000 years. One day, Pan Gu suddenly woke up and saw nothing but darkness around him. Enraged by the narrowness and the darkness, Pan Gu grabbed a big axe out of nowhere and slashed around him vigorously. With a deafening blare shaking the world, the giant egg was split up and from it something clear and light ascended while something turbid and heavy descended, turning into the heaven and earth respectively.
Pi Xiu (Chinese:貔貅) is one of five auspicious animals in the traditional Chinese culture (the other four are the dragon, phoenix, kylin, and turtle). The Chinese people call it “fortune beast.”
