Abstract: This study examines the creation myths of Nüwa in Chinese mythology and the Hebrew God in Hebrew mythology, employing a cross-cultural perspective and comparative mythological methodology. It analyzes differences across three dimensions—divine imagery, motives for creation, and the material used for creation—to systematically interpret the cultural values embedded within these Eastern and Western myths. By revealing their underlying different roots in agrarian and nomadic civilizations, the research provides mythological insights for contemporary cross-cultural communication. The findings not only broaden perspectives on the origins of humankind but also foster mutual understanding and dialogue between cultures, exploring avenues for cross-civilizational learning.
