Chaos is common mytheme in the world origin myths of chinese tibeto-burman ethnic groups. In these meths, chaos is an intermediary which from nothing to universe. As an intermediary, the chaos is a necessary logical premise, but it can not be defined clearly. Moreover, the chaos symbolizes boundless creative power by the metaphors of water, fog and egg.
