In terms of the way and content of religious belief,the attributes of gods mainly include natural gods,ancestral gods,functional gods,supreme gods and unique gods.In ancient China and the ancient two river basins,the attribute of the creation God has its own civilization characteristics on the basis of following the universal law.Most of the creation gods in ancient China were ancestral gods,while most of the creation gods in the ancient two river basins were natural gods.This difference is closely related to the early cultural development mode,the evolution of family form and the political development of the two.At the same time,through the comparison between ancient Chinese civilization and the ancient Mesopotamian civilization,it can be reflected that al-though both are oriental civilizations,they have obviously different civilization characteristics,so that people can have a deeper un-derstanding of the two civilizations.
