Nv Wa Mends the Sky
In ancient times, thefour corners of the sky collapsed and the world with its nine regions splitopen. The sky could not cover all the things under it, nor could the earthcarry all the things on it. A great fire raged and would not die out; a fierceflood raced about and could not be checked. Savage beasts devoured innocentpeople; vicious birds preyed on the weak and old.
Then Nv Wa meltedrocks of five colours and used them to mend the cracks in the sky. Shesupported the four corners of the sky with the legs she had cut off from agiant turtle. She killed the black dragon to save the people of Jizhou, andblocked the flood with the ashes of reeds.
Thus the sky wasmended, its four corners lifted, the flood tamed, Jizhou pacified, and harmfulbirds and beasts killed, and the innocent people were able to live on thesquare earth under the dome of the sky. It was a time when birds, beasts,insects and snakes no longer used their claws or teeth or poisonous stings, forthey did not want to catch or eat weaker things.
NvWa's deeds benefited the heavens above and the earth below. Her name wasremembered by later generations and her light shone on every creation.

Long long ago,there were ten suns.Each day,one of them set out on his jouney across the sky,but one day all ten suns set out together.As a result,the world was being destroyed by heat until Yi was sent to save the world.
Yi closed his eyes for some seconds because of the burning sunlight.Then he placed an arrow against the bow-string anddrew it to the full.Then he let go his arrow.A golden crow,one of the ten suns,was killed and fell down.
Still the earth was burning .Nine suns remained. The watchers were still blind with the pain of the heat.Yi loaded,drew and let go.When the ninth fell from the sky,Yi was told that the world needed one sun to give its warmth and light.Thus,the sky became clear and blue again.Since then,the only sun rises in the morning on his journey across the sky every day.
