What is a creation story?What are ‘Yin and Yang’?
Chinese Creation Story
LOFT: TBAT identify moral issues that arise in creation stories
The terms yin and yang originated in ancient Chinese philosophy.
Yin and yang mean literally the “dark side” and the “sunny side” of a hill.
In Chinese and much other Eastern thought, they represent the opposites of which the world is thought to be composed: dark and light, female and male, Earth and heaven, death and
birth, matter and spirit. This is called a system of dualism, or two-sidedness.
The two forces yin and yang are believed to be complementary and contrasting principles.
Each makes up for what the other lacks, and the wholeness of the world would be incomplete if there were a deficiency of
either.
LOFT: TBAT identify moral issues that arise in creation stories

End
Read the Yanomani Creation StoryWhat happens in the story?
What part of the world might it be from?Why do you think that?
LOFT: TBAT express feelings through variety of media
South AmericaThe story is from the Yanomami, an indigenous tribe of people
that live in the Amazon Rainforest.The Yanomami, along with other tribes that live there, depend
on the rainforest for survival. They respect the earth, only using what they need.
The Creation Stories show this respect and dependence on the land.
Because there are so many tribes, with their own language and culture (and very little writing is used), the creation stories
are all slightly different.
