Pangu was a god in ancient China mythology and was regarded as the ancestor of the universe. Legend had it that there was a giant egg in the Chaos that gave birth to Pangu after thousands of years. Pangu created the heavens and the earth, separated them, and created celestial bodies such as the sky, the earth, the sun, the moon, and the stars, as well as natural elements such as wind, thunder, water, and fire. Later, due to his old age and weak health, he transformed into the Five Elements Mountain, and his tears turned into rivers, lakes, and seas. Heavenly Primogenitor was one of the Three Pure Gods of Taoism and was considered the highest god of Taoism. He was born before Taiwu and received the qi of nature. At first, he was called the Heavenly King of the Origin. There was a saying that the Heavenly Lord of the Origin created the universe through the incarnation of his essence, spirit, and spirit as Pangu, and there was a cause-and-effect relationship between the two. There was also a saying that after Pangu created the world, his body turned into all things in the world and finally became the Heavenly Lord of the Origin. There was also a saying that after Pangu died, his primordial spirit cultivated to form the Heavenly Lord of the Origin. The Heavenly Lord of the Origin had a high status in the Taoist immortal system. He was located in the highest level of the 36 heavens, the Daluotian (also known as the Jade Clear Realm in the 35 heavens). His immortal residence was called the Jade Capital of Xuandu. The first day of the first lunar month or the winter solstice was considered the birthday of his god. In the Sanqing Hall, the Heavenly Lord of the Origin usually had a divine light over his head, holding a millet bead in his hand, or holding it in his left hand or right hand, symbolizing the "Wuji State" when "Heaven and Earth have not formed, Chaos has not opened, and all things have not been born".

In China myths and legends, Pangu and Heavenly Lord Yuanshi had a complicated relationship. Pangu was the oldest god in the China mythological system. He was the widely known God of Creation. There was a legend among the people that he held a huge axe and split the world. After Pangu's death, his consciousness, primordial spirit, and true spirit did not dissipate. According to one theory, they absorbed the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth separately and turned into three streams of clear Qi. The three streams of clear Qi transformed into the Three Pure Ones, namely Taishang Laojun, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Lingbao Tianzun. This meant that Yuanshi Tianzun was the incarnation of Pangu, but only a part of Pangu. It was just like how Sakyamuni could be called Tathagata Buddha, but Tathagata Buddha was not Sakyamuni. There was also a folk legend. After the Emperor Pangu collapsed, his body turned into all things in nature, but his spirituality was still abundant. He flew in the Nine Heavens to find his home. After meeting the Taiyuan Virgin, he turned into a green light and entered her mouth when she breathed into the sky. Then, the true spirit of Pangu was born from the spine of the Taiyuan Virgin and became the Heavenly Lord of the Origin. From this point of view, Pangu could be regarded as the predecessor of the Heavenly Lord of the Origin. There were also relevant discussions in some literary works. For example, in the Romance of the Gods, there was a mention of Pangu, the immortal who created the world. Some people thought that the Heavenly Lord of the Origin might be the incarnation of Pangu because the Heavenly Lord of the Origin cultivated on Mount Kunlun, and Pangu created the world on Mount Kunlun. Moreover, the Heavenly Lord of the Origin had Pangu's magic weapon, the Pangu Banner. However, there were also people who believed that Pangu was not the Heavenly Lord of the Origin because Pangu appeared earlier than Patriarch Hongjun in the book and created Patriarch Hongjun. The Heavenly Lord of the Origin was the disciple of Patriarch Hongjun, so it could not be Pangu. In Taoist culture, Heavenly Lord Yuanshi was revered as the supreme god of Taoism and was called the Heavenly King Yuanshi. The Taoist classic " General Mirror of Immortals in Past Dynasties " mentioned that " Yuan is the origin, the beginning, the beginning, the innate Qi. This Qi turned into the person who created the world, which was Pangu. It turned into the ancestor who presided over the heaven, which was Yuanshi." This also indicated that Pangu and Heavenly Lord Yuanshi had a close relationship. In short, due to the many versions of China mythology, Pangu belonged to the God of Creation in ancient folk myths and legends, and Heavenly Lord Yuanshi was an immortal in the Taoist system. The relationship between the two had different explanations in different mythological interpretation. 'The Myth of True Love in the Pangu Progenitor Universe' is equally wonderful.

There were many differences between Pangu and Heavenly Lord Yuanshi. 1. ** System ** - Pangu was the creator of the world in ancient folk myths and legends. He was the oldest god in the China mythological system. The legend of his creation was widely spread among the people, and almost everyone knew about it. - Heavenly Lord Yuanshi was an immortal in the Taoist system. He was the head of the Taoist Three Pure Ones and was revered as the supreme god of Taoism. In Taoist culture, the Three Pure Ones were born from heaven and earth and managed all things in the world. 2. ** The relationship between origin and incarnation ** - In some legends, after Pan Gu created the world, his consciousness, primordial spirit, and true spirit did not dissipate. Instead, they absorbed the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth and turned into three streams of clear Qi. The three streams of clear Qi transformed into the Three Pure Ones, namely Taishang Laojun, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Lingbao Tianzun. This meant that Yuanshi Tianzun was one of Pan Gu's incarnations, and he was only a part of Pan Gu. However, there was also a saying that after Pangu died, his physical body transformed into mountains, rivers, and earth, leaving only his original spirit. After wandering and cultivating in the universe, he became the Heavenly Lord Yuanshi. - There was also a folk legend that after the Great Pangu collapsed from exhaustion, his physical body turned into all things in nature, but his spirituality was still abundant. After meeting the Taiyuan Virgin, Pangu's true spirit was born from the spine of the Taiyuan Virgin and became the Heavenly Lord of the Origin. This could be understood as Pangu's "predecessor". However, in the Taoist classic "The General Mirror of Immortals in the Past Dynasties", there was a viewpoint that "Yuan is the origin, the beginning is the beginning, and the innate Qi is the same. This Qi is transformed into the person who created the world, which is Pangu; and the ancestor who presided over the heaven is Yuanshi." From this point of view, it seemed that Pangu and Heavenly Lord Yuanshi had a kind of theoretical connection transformation. 3. ** In terms of literary performance ** - In the Investiture of the Gods, Pangu appeared earlier than Patriarch Hongjun and created him. It was mentioned in the book that " Pangu gave birth to Taiji and Yiqi turned into Hongjun." The Honored Lord of the Origin was the disciple of Patriarch Hongjun. From the logic of this plot, Pangu and the Honored Lord of the Origin had different positions and roles. - In some literary works or Taoist classics about the construction of the Taoist immortal system, the image, function, and relationship with other immortals of the Heavenly Lord of the Origin were set based on Taoist doctrines and the needs of the construction of the god system. It was different from the single image of Pangu in folk myths and legends. 'The Myth of True Love in the Pangu Progenitor Universe' is equally wonderful. Please click to read it!

Each disciple had different characteristics and abilities. There was no record of Heavenly Lord Yuanshi in the early Taoism. When Taoism was first established, it was dominated by Zhang Daoling's lineage, and Taishang Laojun was the leader and the highest god. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the new Taoist school was born and created the early image of Heavenly Lord Yuanshi. After continuous development and evolution, Heavenly Lord Yuanshi gradually became one of the supreme gods of Taoism. 'The Myth of True Love in the Pangu Progenitor Universe' is equally wonderful.
