In ancient Chinese fables and legends, many characters were "born by the grace of heaven." For instance, Fuxi, Huangdi, Shun and Yu were all mysterious figures who "knew only their mothers, not their fathers." In fact, to put it bluntly, they were simply the products of an age of promiscuity and communal marriage.
中國古代神話故事中，有許多大人物是「感天而生」的，如伏羲、黃帝、舜、禹等都是「只知其母，不知有父」的神奇人物，其實說穿了他們不過是雜交、群婚時代的產物。
