A Comparison Between Chinese And Greek Mythologies About the Creation

The concept of Heaven and Earth of Greek mythology about the Creation is similar to that of China. The birth of both the Chinese and the Greek has had a primitive period of blood-related marriage, a totemism, which considered a certain animal to have a close relation with a family group and formed a ruling circle of deities with sacred gods as the core. The Greek mythology forms a system with Zeus as the core while the Chinese mythology takes a still and dispersed shape because its sacred gods lack a relation of marriage and inheritance. Their difference also lies in induction and perception. The development and evolution of the images of gods in the two mythologies took place together with that of the society. It is an inexorable law of the historic development for the people to turn their attention from gods to human beings, from nature to society and from divinities to human life.
