摘　　要：In a Tibetan creation myth, it is the sacrifice of an ox that brings our world into being. The yak,now a revered animal in Tibetan culture, brought order to the chaos of the universe. Its head formed towering mountain ranges, its tail became expansive roads, and its hide painted the vast wilderness with life. This myth echoes the ancient belief, shared by many ethnic Han people, that all natural phenomena and living things are ultimately born from cattle.
