Goddess of mending the sky is the original text of Goddess of mending the sky Primary School.

Since Nu Wa created human beings, the earth is full of songs and laughter, and people have been living a happy life. I don't know how many years passed, but one night, Nu Wa was suddenly awakened by a loud bang. She got up in a hurry and went outside to have a look. God, that's terrible! ?

A large piece of the distant sky collapsed, revealing a big black hole. The ground was also shattered, and a series of deep ditches appeared. There is a raging fire burning on the mountain, and many people are trapped at the top of the mountain by the fire. There are flooded fields everywhere and many people are struggling in the water.

Seeing this, Nu Wa was very sad. She immediately went to the rain god and begged him to rain and put out the sky fire. She also built many boats to rescue people struggling in the flood.

Soon, the sky fire went out and the people in the flood were rescued. However, the big hole in the sky is still burning. Nu Wa decided to risk her life to make up for it. So, she ran to the mountain, looking for colorful stones to repair the sky. She thought there were plenty of such stones, and it didn't take much effort.

However, when you look at that mountain, it's all odds and ends. She was busy for several days and nights and found stones in four colors: red, yellow, blue and white. There is still a lack of pure bluestone. So she searched and searched and finally found it in a clear spring.

There are all kinds of colorful stones. Nu Wa first dug a round hole in the ground, put colorful stones in it and melted it with divine fire. After five days and five nights of refining, multicolored petrochemical became a very viscous liquid. Nu Wa put it in a big basin, lifted it to the horizon, pointed it at the big black hole, threw it up, and saw the golden light shining, and the big hole was repaired immediately.

Nowadays, people often see colorful clouds on the horizon. It is said that this is where the goddess repairs the sky.

Historical background

The legend about the goddess of mending heaven is recorded in the ancient books "Lan Mingxun of Huainanzi" and "Liezi Tang Wen".

In the early days of mending the sky, the goddess did not intersect with Gong Gong. Not only did she not have keywords such as Gong Gong, Zhu Rong and Bu Zhoushan, but she also did not clearly record the reasons for the collapse and disaster of the world.

Nor did it mention that Nu Wa tried to mend the sky by refining stones because she didn't leave the mountain altogether. It can be seen that in the ancient pre-Qin period, "Nu Wa tried to mend the sky by refining stones" and "Gong Gong's anger can't touch the mountain" were completely independent stories, while Wang Chong, a scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty, used the goddess to mend the sky to weld Gong Gong to the mountain.

In the early Qin and Han Dynasties, Goddess of Mending the Heaven and Touching the Mountain were regarded as two independent fairy tales. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Wang Chong used the background reason of "Gong Gong angered the mountain" to perfect the plot and explain the reasons for the collapse of the sky. At this point, the goddess of mending heaven and Gonggong Gonggong touch the mountain into one.

The story of the battle between the water god Gong Gong and the fire god Zhu Rong was recorded in Shan Hai Jing. However, Shan Hai Jing Overseas North Jing has a record of "Xiang Liu, Minister of Gong Gong".

According to Records of the Historian, supplemented by Biography of Huang San, Zhu Rong, the water god, rebelled and fought against Zhu Rong, the fire god. Gong Gong was defeated by Zhu Rong, and he was so angry that he hit Zhoushan, the pillar of the world, causing the sky to fall and the water of Tianhe to pour over the world. Nu Wa couldn't bear the sufferings of living beings, refining five-color stones to make up the sky, breaking four pillars of turtle's feet, killing all animals, and making all souls live in peace.

Huainanzi Astronomical Training is recorded as the battle between Gonggong and Zhuan Xu. The Original Road of Huainanzi recorded the war between Gonggong and Gao Xin. The Collection of Jade Carvings in Lizhuang records the war between Gonggong and Shennong. Lu's Taiwu Ji records the battle between Gonggong and Nuwa.

The goddess of mending the sky is a very famous legend. A Dream of Red Mansions, one of the four classical novels, quoted this story for the first time. ? [8] What is recorded in the ancient myths of China is the idealistic world outlook of the early ancestors of the Chinese nation, in order to commemorate the settlement groups and leaders who have made particularly significant contributions to the ethnic groups.

The simpler the myth, the more it can restore the life and thoughts of early ancestors. Of course, those immortal spells and magic are endless legends that have nothing to do with real science.
