P'an Ku - [pan koo] n(Ch) Ancient Chinese Divinity. From P'an Ku we derive Yin and Yang. He is the primeval man born from the egg. One day the egg split open, and the top half became the sky, and the bottom half became the Earth. After 18,000 years, P'an Ku died and split into a number of parts. His head formed the Sun and Moon. His blood, rivers and seas. His hair, the forests, sweat the rain, breath the wind, and voice the thunder. His fleas became the ancestors of mankind. . . Though fleas are normally found on dogs and in circuses, those ancestors of P'an Ku who work on the BC Literary/Arts Magazine consider themselves part of the P'an Ku Zoo. Besides, zoos don't have clowns.
