The early Chinese thinkers believed that the universe is an entity, which is continuously evolving within itself with unceasing probabilities. They believed that all things in nature stem from fundamental poles. Because of the difference in the energies of poles that the universe evolves into all kinds of unceasing interchanges. The original first pair of poles are called Yin and Yang (), but these simple poles would evolve into a complexity of poles. Yin and Yang represent the male and female nature, or the positive and the negative, or the top and bottom, or the back and front, day and night, or dark and light, or right and wrong, or the opposite poles of electrical charges, and so on and so forth..... In so doing, they had, in fact, believed that for every positive existence there is a negative one too ( So, some millenniums later, one Englishman Paul Dirac called it "matters and anti-matters", and for that he became a Nobel Laureate in1933 )..... These opposition energies form a complexity of symmetries and give rise to evolution and changes in all natures phenomena. This wisdom of I-Ching, which actually means the Book of Changes, is said to have been partially developed during the rein of Fu Xi () and his offspring. The epoch lasted from 5341 BC to 4082 BC.

The fact that the early Chinese did not believe in Gods and also did not leave us beliefs or legends of any kind of divine creation will remain always a mystery. Anyhow, it was only in the Three Kingdom epoch about the 3rd Century AD that a writer named Shu Zheng did tell the only story of creation that has existed in Chinese history ever since. ( ). The book title "Three Five Historic Records" is translated as "The historic records of Three Huang and Five Di ". Both Huang and Di are titles of supreme rulers, such as Emperors or Kings. The period of "Three Five" covers the span from the Neolithic Age about 7000 BC to round about 2200 BC ). I shall now relate to you the story briefly below :- Supposedly the universe was originally just a totally concealed solid matter, and an uneventful eternity had already passed. Then one day suddenly a strong, powerful and fully grown man was born inside this concealment. His name was Pang Ghu. There was no light and no free rooms. So Pang Ghu struggled to stretch out. In one mighty jerk he managed to crack open a gap and saw light from outside. In another powerful upwards push he managed to separate the solid rock in which he was born. Now he stood up and found his feet planted firmly on solid ground while his hands were holding up the upper part of his world. But there was still not much free space around, so he started to hack away (By the way, he had an axe and a chisel too). In this very first day he managed to hack open 10 feet space in his world, but then he also grew 10 feet taller, and as each day he hacked away, he grew 10 feet taller each day. He became an enormous giant as he had lived 18,000 years, during all that time he laboured this arduous task of hacking open the space between heaven and earth (but definitely not as arduous as my own hacking!) while he grew daily 10 feet taller..... Finally he became completely exhausted. As he laid dying, his giant body turned into mountains and terrains, his blood and veins became rivers. His breath had already become winds and air. His roars had become thunders. His 2 eye balls one had become the sun and the other turned into moon .... Sorry, can't tell you what he used for eating, or whether he had slept, but at least you know now how our universe got started...

Just so you know, there is more than one way to skin a supernatural cat.
