    The biggest difference is that most of the Chinese gods are cultivated by mortals, while the Greek gods are all born. In Chinese mythology, except for the first few gods at the beginning of human beings (Nu Snail, Fuxi, Pangu, etc.), the other gods were mortals at the beginning, and some were not even mortals, but spirits.
