There were many different versions of the myths before the rise of Taoism in China. Here are some of the more famous ones: 1 Chaos Myth: Legend has it that the universe was in a chaotic state at the beginning. There was no sky, earth, mountains, rivers, and other objects, only darkness and emptiness. Later, a hero named Pangu was born in the chaos. He used an axe to cut open the world and created heaven, earth, mountains, rivers, animals, plants, and all kinds of things. After Pan Gu died, his body kept shrinking and eventually turned into a star, but the state of chaos did not change. This myth was popular in northern China and was regarded as one of the origins of Taoism. 2 River God Myth: Legend has it that the image of the Yellow River's water god is a man with a long nose, big eyes, and red hair. He often used his divine weapon, the long-nosed axe, to clean up the water of the Yellow River to prevent it from flooding. Later, he became a Taoist god and was worshipped as "Hebo". 3. Sun God Myth: According to legend, Apollo was a god in ancient Greek mythology. He was the incarnation of the sun and was responsible for protecting the sun from evil forces. Later, Apollo was also revered as the Sun God in China. He appeared in some mythical stories, such as the battle between Sun Wukong and the Sun God Apollo in Journey to the West. Jade Emperor: The Jade Emperor is the god of the sky in ancient Chinese mythology and is considered the ruler of the universe. His image in ancient Chinese mythology was rather vague, but in Taoism, he became a very important god and was revered as "Heavenly Lord" and "Jade Emperor". The above are some myths and stories before the rise of Taoism in China. These myths gradually integrated into the thoughts and beliefs of Taoism in the process of inheritance and became an important part of Taoist beliefs.
