There were similar legends about the origin of mankind in China. In China, the Mountain of God mentioned in the Classic of Mountains and Seas referred to the place where humans originated. According to the Classic of Mountains and Seas, God once sent a hero named Pangu from the sky to the earth to create mankind. Pangu used a magical axe in the process of creating human beings, so that human eyes, ears, nose and mouth were separated, and his body was cut into countless pieces to form the world. Later, Pan Gu's soul and blood essence formed many stars, suns, and moons in the world, while his body gradually cooled and hardened, finally forming the earth. Therefore, the Mountain of God in the Classic of Mountains and Seas was regarded as the place where humans originated and was one of the important subjects in Chinese traditional culture.
