Pangu Creating the World According to an ancient Chinese myth, the world was created by a person named Pangu. It is said that at the very beginning, the universe was a mass of darkness like a huge egg. Inside the egg was a creature named Pangu who slept soundly for 18 thousand years. As he slept, Pangu grew and developed into a giant. One day, Pangu woke up after a long sleep. He felt strangled by the darkness, so he took a broad ax and broke open the egg with all his might. Yang, which symbolized bright and light forces of the world, floated upwards to form the blue heavens. Yin, which indicates the dark, heavy forces of the universe, sank down to become the fertile earth. Pangu stood in the middle, as he underwent nine changes every day while holding up the heavens with his strong arms and stomping down the earth with his strong feet. Every day the heavens rose ten feet in height, and the earth became ten feet in thickness while Pangu grew ten feet taller. After another 18 thousand years, the distance between the heavens and the earth was 90 thousand li (45 thousand km). Likewise, Pangu grew to be a huge man like a pillar, 90 thousand li in height. Afterward, Pangu was exhausted and slept forever. After Pangu died, his body turned into the five sacred mountains, his eyes turned to the moon and the sun, his blood changed into the river and sea, and his skin and hair became grass and trees. In all, Pangu himself made up the universe. Pangu is considered as a great hero by chinese people. The word "strangled" in the sentence "He felt strangled by the darkness...." can be best replaced by... a. fed b. taken c. killed d. amused e. supported
