In the past, Fuxi was revered as the Emperor of the East, which had nothing to do with Nuwa, but in the legends after the Qin and Han dynasties, it was said that Fuxi and Nuwa were originally husband and wife, among which the stone carvings and brick paintings of the Han Dynasty, as well as the southwest region.

Miao, Yao, Dong Yi and other ethnic minorities.

Popular folk legends all believe that Fuxi Nuwa is husband and wife.

In the stone carvings and brick paintings of the Han Dynasty, there are often portraits of Fuxi and Nuwa with snake heads. In these portraits, Fuxi and Nuwa are in human form above the waist, wearing robes and crowned hats, and below the waist are snake bodies (occasionally dragon bodies), with two tails tightly intertwined. The faces of the two are either forward or back.

The national spirit of Fuxi Nuwa

In ancient times, people and gods were mixed, and myths and legends filled the world. However, although some legends are mixed with myths, they are fundamentally different from mere myths; Because it is passed down by word of mouth, inaccuracies are inevitable, but it contains traces of a certain real history.

Fuxi Nuwa is regarded as the Chinese nation.

The ancestors are worshipped, and the legends about them are spread in a wide area. After all, this history is too far away, and there is an extreme lack of records in the history books; There are also many ways to legend**, just like seeing flowers in the fog, which makes people confused.

However, a large number of images of Fuxi Nuwa appear in the paintings of Han tombs, which provide valuable information for people to further understand this legend. Some think they are people, others say gods; Some speculate that the legend originated in the north, others in the south.

However, the generation of legends is just a tool used by the ancients, and the essence behind the legend contains a deep national complex that is difficult to give up.

Nuwa was not killed by anyone, she died after she exhausted her spiritual power after creating a human.

Nuwa is a god sent by God, the goddess of creation in ancient Chinese mythology, also known as Emperor Wa, the historical record of Nuwa, is the ancestor of the Chinese nation, the god of blessing Sheji. Legend has it that Nuwa created a human being, would change seventy-two times, made a human being with yellow clay and imitated herself, created human society and established a marriage system, and then died of exhaustion of her spiritual power, and her body became a mountain and river for the benefit of mankind.

In the mythical fairy**, in Nuwa's reproduction, one life is exchanged for another, and the birth of a new life must be exchanged for an old life, and Nuwa is the same, after Nuwa's daughter is born, Nuwa's spiritual power and mission will be inherited by her daughter, and Nuwa will die after her spiritual power is exhausted.

The story of Nuwa's creation of man:

Nuwa Niangniang is one of the earliest ancient gods to appear after Pangu, and the "Great Wilderness West Classic" of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" has the following record: "Nuwa, the ancient goddess and the emperor, the human face and the snake body, seventy changes in one day. The image of Nuwa Niangniang is a "human-faced snake body", and she can change seventy times in a day.

After Pangu opened the world, he incarnated all things, his eyes became the sun and the moon, his body became the earth, his bones became mountains and rivers, and his meridians became rivers. Although Pangu opened up the world, there was only silence between heaven and earth, and there was no trace of life. Nuwa wandered alone between heaven and earth, and she felt more and more lonely.

It may be that her brother Fuxi doesn't like to accompany Nuwa, so Nuwa decided to find a companion for herself. Whether it is a human being or a god, finding a friend must be the first choice to find one's own kind. So Nuwa Niangniang imitated her own appearance and made people out of the soil.

At the beginning, Nuwa Niangniang also pinched carefully and carefully, one by one. Later, she felt that her method of pinching was too slow, so she threw a rope (said to be a congenital gourd vine) into the mud and threw it with a rope. The mud spots that Nuwa threw off with a rope also became human.

Brother and sister, legend has it, Nuwa and Fuxi are actually brother and sister, they are twelve brothers and sisters, only Nuwa and Fuxi survived in a flood accident, and the two of them came to Kunlun Mountain to live together.

In order to keep humanity alive, the two decided to get married, but they were afraid that the brother-sister relationship would be criticized, so they decided to ask Providence. They each lit a torch and swore to heaven that if Providence would make them husband and wife, then the fire of the torch would melt together, but they did not expect the torches to really burn together.

After the two got married, they began to have children. They had a total of five children, four sons and one daughter, and the sons were named Qinggan, Zhu Sidan, Bai Daqi socks Hu Shi and Mo Gan, which were recorded in the silk book of Changsha Wangjia's ancestral mountain Chu tomb in 1942.

Fuxi and Nuwa's child

Fuxi Nuwa's nine sons are: Legend, Wang Long, Wang Snake, Wang Lei, Hou Yi, Wang Su, Brother Wu, Sister Wu, Shaodian, etc., all of whom are Nuwa's children. What is recorded in history is that Fuxi and Nuwa gave birth to their sons "Shaodian", and Shaodian gave birth to two emperors, "Emperor Yan and Emperor".

Their other quarrelsome sons are naturally gods, managing everything on the earth, but not much because of the relationship between Emperor Yan and the emperor, they are not as famous as Shaodian. As for Nuwa Niangniang's daughter, although there are different opinions, at present, the probability of being Luo Shen is relatively large.
