This paper presents a structural–comparative analysis of the Chinese creation myth, focusing on the figures of Pangu and Nüwa, and argues that the Chinese cosmological narrative represents a post-flood memory rather than an account of absolute primordial creation. Unlike Abrahamic creation models grounded in intentional divine command, ethical purpose, and covenant, the Chinese mythological framework begins from chaos, rupture, and subsequent repair.Through a detailed examination of cosmological structure, symbolic roles, and narrative sequencing, the study demonstrates that creation in the Chinese tradition functions as restoration of balance rather than ontological origination. The absence of a clearly defined first human, moral fall, or founding covenant indicates a loss of the original ethical axis of creation, preserved instead as a cosmological principle of harmony.The paper further critiques dominant academic explanations for mythological similarity—such as cultural diffusion, Jungian archetypes, structuralism, and the Laurasian model—arguing that these approaches explain formal resemblance but fail to account for directional semantic transformation: the shift from moral creation narratives to non-ethical cosmological systems.The study proposes an alternative interpretive framework based on civilizational memory theory, suggesting that global flood and creation myths derive from a shared proto-narrative that underwent divergent theological and philosophical reconfigurations. Within this framework, the Chinese creation myth emerges as a paradigmatic case of memory preserved without moral meaning, offering crucial insight into how civilizations reinterpret foundational catastrophe through cosmology rather than covenant.
