In Chinese mythology, Chaos (浑沌, Hun-Tun) is the name of a god.
According to the Daoist classic Zhuangzi by the eponymous author, the king of the North Sea met the king of the South Sea in Hun Tun's house. Hun Tun was very kind to them. They did not know how to return the kindness. Then they told each other, "all men have seven holes in the head, with which they see, hear, smell and breathe, only this poor man lacks them". So they decided to carve one hole a day in Hun Tun's head. By the seventh day, Hun Tun died.
