Abstract: The Chinese creation myth is an important entry point for exploring and constructing early Chinese civilization.The solar term myth is an important part of the Chinese creation myth,and the construction process of its time lineage reflects the formation process of the innovative characteristics of Chinese civilization.The myth of Sui-jen Shih observation of the Great Mars shows that pragmatically solving the problem of survival is the driving force of innovation in early Chinese civilization.The myth of the solar term system establishment,represented by the myth of the calendar promulgated by Emperor Yao,showed the pluralism and openness of the innovative thinking of the Chinese ancestors.The solar term measurement myth shows the formation of an innovative tradition in early Chinese civilization.The emergence of the word “China” is also closely related to the tradition of the ancestors who were good at creativity and brave in innovation.Today,when scientific and technological innovation has increasingly become the focus of international competition,we should vigorously explore the creative and innovative traditions of the Chinese creation myth,guide the public to fully understand and apply the innovative characteristics of Chinese civilization,and enhance the competitiveness of Chinese civilization.
