Nu Wa made man

According to folklore, at the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth, there were no human beings on the earth. It was Nu Wa who kneaded the loess into a ball and made people. She is busy and tired, and despite her best efforts, she still can't keep up with the supply.

So she picked up the rope and threw it into the mud. When she lifted the rope and threw it out, the mud fell to the ground and became a person. Later generations said that the rich were made of loess by Nu Wa, and the poor were just made of rope dipped in mud and scattered on the ground by Nu Wa.

Nvwa Patches up the Sky

In ancient times, the ends of the earth collapsed, and the earth (the ancients divided China into Hebei, Yanzhou, Qinghai, Xu, Yang, Jing, Yu, Yong and Liang Jiuzhou, which generally referred to the earth here) collapsed, so that the sky could not cover all of the earth, and the earth could not fully carry everything. The fire is wide and fierce but never goes out, the flood is endless and never fades, and the beast devours the kind people (biography)

So Nu Wa smelted the five-color stone to fill the sky, broke the limbs of Aojiao (a turtle in the sea) to support the four pillars of Qingtian, killed the black dragon to save Yizhou (one of the ancient Kyushu, the ancient Central Plains), and accumulated reed ash to fight floods. The sky was repaired, the four pillars were erected, the flood dried up (here, the flood subsided), Yongzhou was peaceful, the strong birds and beasts died, and the kind people survived.

Nu Wa made man

As the saying goes, since the beginning of the world, there is no one, so Nu Wa (legend has it that a snake with a human face created human beings) is a human being. The audience is sitting (busy with work), unable to supply (there is no extra electricity to supply demand), just pulling (pulling, pulling) the rope in the mud for people. Therefore, the rich are all loess people; The poor lead the way.

Nvwa Patches up the Sky

In ancient times, the four poles were abolished, Kyushu was cracked, the sky was not restored, and the land was not safe. Fire never stops, water never stops. Wild animals eat people, while birds prey on the old and the weak. So nuwa refined five-color stones to make up the sky, and the broken claws were enough to set up four poles, killing the black dragon and helping Jizhou, and accumulating reed ash to stop the lewd water. Heaven makes up, four poles are positive, dirty water dries up, Jizhou is flat, cunning insects die, and people's livelihood improves.

Origin: Nu Wa created man and the goddess of mending heaven both came from Huainanzi written by Liu An in the Han Dynasty.

Nu Wa, the goddess of creation in ancient China mythology.

Also known as Wa Huang, Nu Wa and Nu Wa Shi, it is the beginning of Chinese people's humanities and the true god who bless the country.

According to legend, Nu Wa created human beings, changing day by day, imitating herself with yellow mud, creating human society and establishing the marriage system. Because the world is falling, colorful stones are melted to fill the sky, and the tortoise is enough to stand up four poles, leaving the myth and legend of the goddess mending the sky.

Nu Wa is not only the goddess who saves the world, but also the god of nature who creates everything. She has magical power and can create at least 70 things every day. She created the world, so she is called the mother of the earth. She is the creator and mother god, and has been widely worshipped for a long time.

Based on archaeological remains, relics and painted pottery patterns, Nu Wa provided information about prehistoric people's struggle against floods and life impressions of reproductive worship. The historical and cultural roots lie in the inheritance of the concept of female worship in the primitive matriarchal society.

There are also titles such as Wa Huang, Ling Wa, Di Wa, Feng Huang, Nu Yin, Queen, Nu Wa, Nu Wa, Goddess, Yin Di, Yin Di and Emperor Nv. It is the mother of the earth in ancient legends.
