The Shortest Myth Story 5, The Shortest Myth Story

What's the shortest mythological story? Mythology in the literary sense refers to the stories of the primitive social period, including the creation myth, the hero myth, the extinction myth, the salvation myth, etc., most of which were lost later, and now can only be glimpsed in ancient books such as oracle bone inscriptions, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", and "Zhuangzi". Many of the later "myths" belonged to legends or fairy tales in the strict sense, and most of their content was combined with Taoism.

As for the story of Buddhism, it is not a Chinese myth. And there are not many detailed records of a story in mythology, most of them are descriptions of a certain immortal, such as the Queen Mother of the West, the Goddess of Despisage and so on. I don't know what the shortest mythological story is, but the following "Jingwei Reclamation" must be one of them.

Smile with flowers

Legend has it that the Lantern Festival asked Shakyamuni Buddha to say: 'The World-Honored One will show the public at the Lingshan Meeting. Everyone was silent, and only Ka Ye smiled.

World-Honored Cloud: I have the Dharma Eye, Nirvana, the reality has no appearance, the subtle Dharma, I don't set up words, and I don't teach outside the teachings. Instructed Mahakalpa.

A long, long time ago, heaven and earth were not separated, and the universe was in chaos. There was a giant named Pangu, who slept in this chaotic universe for 18,000 years[5].

One day, Pangu suddenly woke up. When he saw that it was pitch black, he picked up his great axe and slashed at the darkness before him. I heard a loud bang, and the darkness gradually dispersed.

What rises slowly, becomes the sky; Something that slowly descended became the ground.

After the heaven and the earth were separated, Pangu was afraid that they would still be together, with their heads on the sky and their feet on the ground. The sky rises one zhang every day, and Pangu also grows higher and higher with the sky. In this way, I don't know how many years I have had, the sky and the earth have gradually taken shape, and Pangu is so tired that he falls down.

After Pangu fell, his body changed dramatically. The breath he exhaled became the wind and clouds of the four seasons; The sound he uttered turned into rumbling thunder; His eyes became the sun and the moon; His limbs became the east, west, south, and north poles of the earth; His skin became a vast earth; His blood has become a rushing river; His sweat became rain and dew that moistened all things.

Very difficult mythological stories, such as the story of Nuwa mending the sky, Nuwa used multicolored stones to fill a hole in the sky.

The simplest Chinese mythological story, that is, Nuwa makes up for the sky, Nuwa makes up for the sky, and E'e runs to the moon, isn't this a very famous mythological story in China?

Tengu swallows the moon.

In ancient times, people didn't know that there was such a thing as a lunar eclipse, so whenever a lunar eclipse occurred, people thought that the tengu had eaten the moon.

Hundreds of birds and phoenixes.

Once upon a time, the phoenix was just a very inconspicuous bird, and its feathers were very ordinary, not at all as dazzling as the legend suggests. But it has an advantage: it is very industrious, and does not know how to play when it is full like other birds, but is busy from morning to night, picking up the fruits thrown by other birds one by one and storing them in the hole.

What's the point? Isn't this a money-obsessed man, a big fool? Don't underestimate this kind of food storage, when the time comes, he can be of great use!

Sure enough, one year, there was a great drought in the forest. The birds couldn't find food, they were so hungry and dizzy that they couldn't hold it anymore. At this time, the phoenix hurriedly opened the cave and took out the dried fruits and grass seeds that he had accumulated over the years and distributed them to everyone, and tide over the difficulties with everyone.

After the drought, in order to thank the phoenix for saving his life, the birds chose the most beautiful feather from their body and plucked it out to make a dazzling bird suit to the phoenix, and unanimously elected it as the king of birds.

In the future, every time the phoenix celebrates its birthday, birds from all over the world will fly to congratulate the phoenix, which is a hundred birds to the phoenix.

Most of the shortest myths and stories are Chinese, such as Xiang Chang'e running to the moon, Nuwa mending the heavenly plate, and Pangu opening the world.
