PN: Chinese creation myth. "... the origin of the world lay in a primordial egg which hatched a god who lived eighteen thousand years. Then he died. His head split and became the sun and the moon, his blood the rivers and seas, his hair the plants, his limbs the mountains, his voice the thunder, his perspiration the rain, his breath the wind - and his fleas the ancestors of man." from a discussion of Shang Ti and the cosmic egg, Wolfram Eberhard in A History of China, cited by Maggie Kswick in 'The Chinese Garden'.
