2.2.18A 故事《盘古开天地》

About the origin of the world, there are different versions of stories under different religions and cultural backgrounds all around the world. This story is one of the most well-known Chinese legendary stories that describes ancient Chinese people's imagination about the formation of the world. 很久很久以前，天和地还没有分开，宇宙混（hùn）沌（dùn）一片。有个叫盘古的巨人，在这混沌之中，一直睡了十万八千年。　　有一天，盘古忽然醒了。他见周围一片漆黑，就抡（lūn）起大斧头，朝眼前的黑暗猛（měng）劈（pī）过去。只听一声巨响，混沌一片的东西渐渐分开了。轻而清的东西，缓（huǎn）缓上升，变成了天；重而浊（zhúo）的东西，慢慢下降，变成了地。　　天地分开以后，盘古怕它们还会合在一起，就头顶着天，脚踩着地，随着他们的变化而变化。天每天升高一丈（zhàng），地每天下沉一丈，盘古也随着越长越高。这样不知过了多少年，天和地逐（zhú）渐成形了，盘古也累得倒[dǎo]了下去。　　盘古倒下后，他的身体发生了巨大的变化。他呼出的气息，变成了四季的风和飘动的云；他发出的声音，化作了隆隆的雷声。他的双眼变成了太阳和月亮；他的四肢（zhī），变成大地上的东、西、南、北四极;他的肌（jī）肤，变成了辽（liáo）阔的大地；他的血（xùe）液（yè），变成了奔流不息的江河；他的汗毛，变成了茂盛的花草树木；他的汗水，变成了滋润万物的雨露…… 　　人类的老祖宗（zōng）盘古，用他的整个身体创造了美丽的宇宙。 ——摘自人教版小学语文课本三年级下册 Subscribe to our newsletter: https://goo.gl/forms/iGzDQVYToF7Rivo42
