This rendition is estimated to be several hundred years old, Pangu coalesced into a cosmic egg, which signifies absolute and infinite potential, and the perfect oneness before duality.

Yin and yang became balanced in the egg, and eventually, Pangu emerged, often depicted as a hairy giant with horns on his head. He swung his axe and separated yin from yang, creating the earth and sky. To keep them separated, he stood between the two and started pushing the sky upwards, growing ten feet taller each day.

After 18,000 years, Pangu’s task was completed and he died. His breath became the wind, mist, and clouds; his voice became thunder; his left and right eyes became the sun and moon; his head became the mountains and valleys; his blood became the rivers; his flesh became fertile land; his beard became the stars; his fur became forests and plants; his bones became minerals and jewels; his sweat became rain; and the fleas in his hide became the animals that roamed the world.
