How did Nu Wa make people?

The story of Nu Wa's creation is: According to legend, after the great hero Pangu created the world, Nu Wa traveled all over the world. At that time, although there were already mountains, rivers, plants, birds, animals, insects and fish on the earth, it still looked lifeless because there were no people on the earth. One day, Nu Wa was walking on a desolate land and felt very lonely. She thinks something more lively should be added between heaven and earth.

Nu Wa glides on the earth. She likes trees, flowers and plants. However, she is more intoxicated with more lively and energetic birds, animals, insects and fish. After reading it, Nu Wa thought that Pangu's creation was incomplete, and the intelligence of birds, animals, insects and fish was far from satisfying her. She wants to create a better creature than other life.

The wicked woman glided by the Yellow River and looked down to see her beautiful shadow. She was overjoyed. She decided to use the soft mud in the river bed to knead the clay figurine according to her own appearance. Nu Wa was clever and soon made many clay figurines. These clay figurines are almost identical to her, except that she made them legs that match their hands instead of dragon tails. Nu Wa breathed a sigh of relief at the little clay figurines, and those little clay figurines were full of vitality, and "living" became a group of clever and dexterous little things that could walk upright. Nu Wa called them "people". Nu Wa injected Yang into some of them-an aggressive male factor in nature, so they became men. On the other hand, she injected Yin Qi, a gentle female element in nature, and they became women. These men and women danced and cheered around Nu Wa, bringing vitality to the earth.

Nu Wa wanted to spread mankind all over the vast land, but she was tired and did it too slowly. So she came up with a shortcut. She put a straw rope in the mud at the bottom of the river and turned it over until the lower end of the rope was covered with soil. Then, she raised the rope and waved it on the ground. No matter where the mud spots fall, those mud spots become little people. In this way, Nu Wa created people all over the globe.

With human beings on the earth, it seems that the work of Nu Wa God can stop. But she has a new consideration: how can people live well? People always die. It's too much trouble to die and rebuild a batch. Therefore, the goddess Nu Wa paired men and women and told them to breed their own offspring and take up the responsibility of raising them. As a result, human reproduction continues and increases day by day.

Introduction of Nu Wa:

Nu Wa, also known as Wa Huang, Nu Wa, Nu Xi Shi and claustrophobic Shi, is the goddess of creation in ancient China mythology. According to the biographical records of Huang San in Three Records of Historical Records, Fuxi and Nu Wa's mother are the same person: Hua Xushi. Fuxi and Nuwa, two brothers and sisters, live on Kunlun Mountain. In order to reproduce, two brothers and sisters became husband and wife and created human beings. The historical record of the Nuwa family is the humanistic beginning of the Chinese nation (ancient residents living in the Central Plains of Henan Province) 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. In China mythology, Nu Wa is the "mother of all things" who creates all life, the prototype of many legendary goddesses, and the "prototype mother" who lives in China culture forever.

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. According to Sima Zhen, a historian of the Tang Dynasty, who supplemented Historical Records of Huang San, "Nu Wa refined five-color stones to make up the sky, and breaking Ao Bai was enough to establish four poles."

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.

Created by:

Legend has it that her name is Feng Richi (or offering sacrifices to the Phoenix), and she is an ancient goddess who helps all things in China's historical myths and legends. According to legend, she is the mother of the Chinese nation. She created life kindly and bravely took care of creatures from natural disasters. She is the creator and mother god, and has been widely worshipped for a long time. She has magical power and can create at least seventy things every day.

Legend has it that Nu Wa took loess as a model and created human beings and human society. There is also a legend in "Goddess of mending the sky", that is, a catastrophic disaster happened in nature, the sky collapsed, and raptors and beasts came out to harm the people. Nu Wa smelted five-color stones to fill the sky, killed the evil beast Raptor, re-established the Quadrupole Tianzhu, and leveled the world. In addition, it is said that Nu Wa made some musical instruments called sheng, harps and feathers, so people called Nu Wa the goddess of music. In the records, she established a marriage system for human beings, which enabled young men and women to marry each other and reproduce, so she was also called the goddess of marriage.

The myth of Nuwa is binary. The first series is Nu Wa, the goddess of creation, who appears in the image of God and is called the mother of mankind and the mother of the earth. The second line is Nu Wa, the ancient holy king, who appeared in the image of human beings and was one of the matriarchal clan leaders and ancient Huang San.

Under the ancient patriarchal clan system, patriarchy, husband power and male power became the three mountain shackles that firmly suppressed the development of the myth of Nu Wa, splitting it into three types:

1. As the goddess of creation, Nu Wa affirmed her identity as the mother of mankind and the mother of the earth;

2. As an ancient saint, Nu Wa affirmed her status as one of the heavenly saints and Huang San (a blood relative of Fuxi);

3. Sacrifice all the positions of the gods of Nuwa: it is the image of the gods before creation.

Nu Wa is the human ancestor and the mother of the Chinese nation. Nuwa culture has a long history, extensive and profound, and rich in content. It is an excellent traditional culture of prehistoric civilization and Chinese nation, and also an important research object of prehistoric civilization in China.

Ancient pre-Qin documents such as Shi Shuan Pian, Chu Ci, Li Ji, Shan Hai Jing and Huai Nan Zi, and historical materials such as Hanshu, Custom Yi Tong, Emperor Century, Du Yizhi, Lu Shi, Yi Shi and historical records since Qin and Han Dynasties. It occupies an important position in the whole ancient culture series. It is an important part of the history of human development and folklore research, and its value:

1, with outstanding historical and cultural research value, is an important historical material for inheriting Chinese civilization and national spirit;

2. It plays an important role in realizing national integration, enhancing national cohesion and building a harmonious society;

3. It plays an important role in enhancing entrepreneurship, enriching the treasure house of Chinese culture and promoting cultural exchanges;

4. It embodies the unique folk custom and folk culture phenomenon, and has far-reaching historical significance for life etiquette, human survival and cultural inheritance.

Nu Wa's position often changes, sometimes above Huang San, sometimes within Huang San, and sometimes below Huang San. It is said that there are three reasons:

1. In myths and legends, Nu Wa incarnates everything and has a high status, above Huang San;

2. According to legend, Fuxi and Nuwa are both blood relatives, husband and wife, and they belong to the same family. When listing in Huang San, sometimes both are selected, and sometimes only one person is selected as the representative, so it is in Huang San;

3. The prominent position of Shangshu in Confucian classics has made the views advocated by Fuxi, Shennong and Huangdi Huang San recognized by most people, while Nu Wa's position is matriarchal society, followed by paternal society, and men are respected, so it is below Huang San.

The meaning of Chinese book is almost that Nu Wa is an ancient woman and an emperor. Men are masculine and women are feminine, which is harmful, so offering sacrifices to Nu Wa is also a blessing. It is also said that * * * workers and Zhuan Xu compete for the son of heaven and are invincible. In a rage, I touched the mountain where I didn't want to make progress, which made Tianzhu broken and the land lost.
