In Chinese tradition the creator goddess Nü Gua cuts the legs off a giant sea turtle (Ao) and uses them to prop up the sky after Gong Gong damages Buzhou Mountain that had supported the sky. Researchers of the early Chinese mythology also note that the flat undershell and round domed upper shell of a turtle resembles the ancient Chinese idea of a flat earth and round domed sky.
