《A Hazy Dream World from Ancient China》E15
Gun, the person who steals the soil
In Chinese mythology, there is a piece of soil that can grow to infinite size - Xi soil. The Book of Mountains and Seas says that the floods were so great that Gun stole the Xi soil from the Emperor of Heaven and used it to block the flood. He was killed without waiting for the emperor's order.%Compared with Indian mythology, the monstrous floods described in "The Book of Mountains and Seas" are chaotic waters, the Emperor of Heaven corresponds to the God of Creation, the Xi soil corresponds to the soil fished out of the deep sea, and Gun corresponds to the animal that fishes for soil.The difference is that one is stealing and the other is being delegated. As for the flood and the creation of the continent, they are just two results of one act.
