浑沌

The ruler of the Southern Sea is called Change; the ruler of the Northern Sea is called Uncertainty, and the ruler of the Centre is called Primitivity（浑沌). Change and Uncertainty often met on the territory of Primitivity, and being always well treated by him, determined to repay his kindness. They said: "All men have seven holes for seeing, hearing, eating, and breathing. Primitivity alone has none of these. Let us try to bore some for him." So every day they bored one hole; but on the seventh day Primitivity died.

...创 世 纪 (Genesis), 2:2 到第七日、　神造物的工已经完毕、就在第七日歇了他一切的工、安息了。

...and on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
The Book of Genesis, 2:2
