Unlike the religions that ruled Europe for centuries, no religion has ruled China since ancient times.
The gods came only when the human mind became more advanced, and the people of the past only knew their ancestors. (you can refer to other animals in nature, they don't know gods but they know their parents.)
The people believed in their ancestors and also believed in gods. Ancestors are gods, and gods are ancestors. Why then did the gods separate from their ancestors? God is god, but not man's ancestor. Man's ancestors were Adam and eve.
In ancient times, people passed information from person to person. If the person who got the information did not pass on the information, then the information did not exist. Later people could only guess a very small part of the situation through architecture and murals. It must be admitted that the transmission of information between people may miss and make mistakes, and it is difficult or even impossible to verify. However, compared with the way of architecture and murals, the latter contains much more information, especially the detailed information of major events, time and characters.
Other civilizations like Egypt, Greece and so on because of the interruption of information transmission people couldn't know what their ancestors were doing. Now the gods are what we imagine later, not what the ancestors imagine. So the gods are separated from the ancestors. In order to highlight the greatness of the gods, there were gods before there were humans.
China is so old, it existed before writing was created. Moreover, Chinese information has never been cut off. People keep the information to the appearance of writing through the transmission between people. Therefore, the Chinese gods are also the ancestors and creator of the Chinese people just like the human beings in the beginning, and this pattern has been handed down.
Although in order to highlight the greatness of gods, gods also created human beings, but the prototype of these gods is the ancestor of human beings, so there is a myth that is different from other places, creator creation, ancestors are the creator (is it not logical? But in the ancestor is god, this idea is very logical) next I will take you to understand the mysterious ancient eastern world ancient handed down to the ancestors of the Chinese people, but also the story of the Chinese creator (don't ask me for evidence, this is a legend without evidence) (from 120,000 BC, or earlier)
In China, there is also a god, whose name is fu xi (pangu or taiyi will come to the reason why the Chinese god is not a person). Just like god created all things, the ancient Chinese believed that fu xi created all things. (the next chapter tells you when fuxi became god) to understand the Chinese gods, you must first understand the ancestors of the Chinese people.
