Answer at least 4 of the following 6 questions in your response, and include at least two quotations:

In what significant way does the myth of Yin and Yang differ from the myth of Nu Kua?

How does the myth of Yin and Yang present the relationship between divinity and human beings?

Why did the original tellers of the Nu Kua myth have her create human beings using two different methods? What might this have explained for them?

The gods are not present in the myth of "Chi Li Slays the Serpent." Why do you think they are absent in this myth? What might that mean, and how might their influence still be present in the story?

Why is it so important to the gods that Amaterasu shines the light of the sun down on human crops? In other words, why do they care?

Why does Amaterasu permit Susano-o-no-Mikoto to visit her, and why does she not immediately banish him when he misbehaves?

You should also comment on your peers' responses (note: this comment should be more detailed than simply "I agree" or "good point.")

Explanation / Answer

1- the significant diffrence between the myth of yin and yang and the myth of Nu Kua is that myth of yin and yang tells about the creation of universe .Yin and Yang are exact opposit ying gather negetive,female,night,passive,moon,intutive,cold,soft and Yang gathered positive ,male,Day,active,sun,logical,hot,hard and in the myth of Nu Kua she is mother godess who created men and women from the clay of earth , people she made with clay became noble and people made by drop of clay become common folks. this is the diffrence in both the myths.

2- the symbol of ying and yang showes that ying and yang are perfect half of each other therefore the relationship to the divine and human is perfact balance and its about awareness.its about being in balance too much negetive is bad where too much positve would'nt be right this showes the balance.

5- its not important for gods that amaterasu shines the light of the sun down on the human crops but its important for humans for their lives and if they can not grow crops they will die god do care in myths because human is creation of god its like no mother can see her child hungry and in pain same do happens in the case of god humans are there creation why do they want harm them. they get angry in every myth but that is for good of human only after that they forgive human and do good for them because humans are there created child. so its important for gods that Amaterasu shines the light of the sun down on human crop so human can produce food for themselve.

6- before his departure susano-o decided to visit her sister , she permit him because on meeting amaterasu he told her that he ment no harm,he just wanted to say good bye before going to the realm where there mother Izanami was.Susano-o proposed that as a seal of their friendship they should produce offspring which they did.

susanoo neglected his duties in the realms and misbehaved he broke a hole in the roof of the hall where amaterasu was sitting and watching other divines. after the tregedy amaterasu withdrew either out of embersment or out of fear into a deep cavern in the center of the earth, the rock cave (Ama-no-lwato) and refuse to come out causing darkness to fall upon the world.

Susanoo was punished by being banished from heaven.

she dont banished him immidieaytly because of shock and embarcement.
