What does myth mean?
Myth is myth.

The explanation is as follows:

1, a kind of folk literature, the collective oral creation of ancient people. Including ghost stories and deified the legend of heroes. Its appearance shows the ancient people's resistance to natural forces and their pursuit of ideals, which has a far-reaching impact on later literature and art. Religious myths belong to a special ideological embodiment.

2. Anecdotes about fantasy and fiction: 1. Completely fictional; 2. semi-fiction.

Myth is not a scientific reflection of real life, but the result of human thinking and exploration of nature and their own imagination in ancient times.

Religion is a cultural phenomenon in the development of human society to a certain historical stage, which belongs to a special social ideology. In the old days, due to people's unknown exploration of nature and the pursuit of expressing people's desire for eternal liberation, they believed that there were supernatural mysterious forces or entities outside the real world, which made people awe and worship the mysterious forces or entities, thus extending the system of belief cognition and ritual activities. Like folk myths, they also have their own myths and legends, which are connected in series and are a kind of spiritual sustenance.

Religious myth is a legend formed by absorbing mythical figures and events in the process of religious development, and it also belongs to a special ideological embodiment.

Example: create the world, the goddess fills the sky, and Hou Yi shoots the sun.
