Is Nuwa the ancestor of mankind or the boss of the demon clan?

1) The goddess of the creation of the human being, Biwa, changed her words.

Corresponding to the Western creation theory, China has its own creation myth, that is, the legend of Pangu opening the world and Nuwa creating man. As a hazy cognition of the origin, Nuwa, the goddess of creation, occupies an important position in the consciousness of ancient human society.

There is the following record about Nuwa's creation of people in the ancient book "Customs and Customs" of the Eastern Han Dynasty: "As the saying goes, the world is opened, and there are no people, and Nuwa fights the loess to be a man." The drama is overwhelmed, but the rope is drawn in the mud and raised as a person.

Therefore, the rich and noble, the loess people, the poor and the lowly, and the rope people are also. Legend has it that Nuwa used loess to imitate herself to create human beings and create human society. He also established a marriage system for human beings, so that young men and women could marry each other and reproduce, so he was said to be the goddess of marriage.

The myth of Nuwa's creation of human beings is not a pure fabrication, but a reflection of the dominance of women in the matriarchal society of the early blood era.

Nuwa is a god.

Nuwa Creates Man is one of the four great myths of ancient China, in this myth, Nuwa used loess to create human beings, showing the thinking of the ancient ancestors on the origin of human beings.

And Yuan Ke, a famous modern writer in China, gave Nuwa a new image when he adapted the myth of Nuwa creating people. In this account, Nuwa created the first humans out of loess, and then made the others out of dry vines. In one story, the ancient ancestors also explain why there was a class division.

In addition, Nuwa also created marriage. In this story of Nuwa's creation of man, the image of Nuwa is an image of a goddess with divine powers, and she uses her divine power to create human beings and marriage, so that people can reproduce. From this point of view, Nuwa is undoubtedly a god.

Historical status

Nuwa's status changed from time to time, sometimes in the Three Emperors.

Above, sometimes within the Three Emperors, sometimes under the Three Emperors. It is said that there are three reasons:

1. In myths and legends, Nuwa incarnated all things, and her status was very high, above the Three Emperors.

Second, the legendary Fuxi.

Nuwa is both a blood relative and a husband and wife, both of whom are members of the family, and when they are included in the Three Emperors, sometimes both of them are selected, and sometimes only one person is selected as a representative, which is among the Three Emperors.

3. "Shangshu.

Its prominent position in the scriptures makes it propagandize Fuxi, Shennong, and the Yellow Emperor.

The views of the Three Emperors are shared by most people, and Nuwa lives in a matriarchal society.

After that, there was a patriarchal society, where men were respected, so it was under the Three Emperors.

According to Chinese mythology, the Six Realms Theory does not exist. Chinese mythology is the Three Realms Theory. Heaven, earth, people. There is no such thing as a demon in Chinese mythology.

Nuwa was first recorded in the Book of Chu Silk, "Tianwen". It is generally considered to be the god of the Sanmiao people. It is also believed that it was the ancient female reproductive worship of the gods.

There is also a mention of Nuwa in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, which appears as "Nuwa's ten intestines".

The earliest records of Nuwa mending the heavens are in "Huainanzi Lan Ming" and "Huainanzi Tianwen Xun".

The earliest record of Nuwa's creation of people is in the Eastern Han Dynasty's "Customs and Customs".

The earliest record of the marriage between Nuwa and Fuxi siblings was in Li Shu's "Duyi Zhi" in the Tang Dynasty.

Classical Chinese mythology is not divided into races, but there are systems. For example, classical mythology is divided into Central Plains mythology, Kunlun mythology, Penglai mythology, Chudi mythology and Bashu mythology. God is not the same in each system.

Judging from the Book of Chu Silk and "Tianwen", Nuwa should belong to the gods in the mythology of Chu in the south. And not the Central Plains God. Opinions on this point.

There are also different versions in the academic community.

Give me three laughs first.

Hahaha! Hahaha!

Hahaha! I read the article of this Baijia number below, and it was funny.

The myths and stories of our country are rich and colorful, in addition to the ancient myths that we are familiar with, there are also popular myths and stories of ethnic minorities, and some ethnic groups even regard the characters in mythology as ancestors, such as the ancient god of war - Chi You, who was regarded as an ancestor by the Miao people.

Speaking of Fu Xi and Nuwa, there are many explanations for the myths that have been handed down from ancient times, and the most popular argument is that Fu Xi and Nuwa were born to the ancient Hua Xu clan, and their father was the dragon clan in charge of Razor, the god of thunder. Therefore, Fu Xi and Nuwa inherited their father's dragon bloodline, both of which are human-headed dragon bodies and have great magical powers.

However, in the mythology of the Yao people, Fuxi and Nuwa have another origin, which starts from a small mountain village of the Yao people in ancient times, when the clouds were thick and it was about to rain.

An industrious adult man did not worry at all, because he was ready for this, and in his leisure time he collected a thick layer of moss and spread it on the roof, so that even if it rained heavily, the rain would not penetrate into the house, and soon the downpour was accompanied by lightning and thunder, becoming more and more ferocious. As if thinking of something, the man turned and took out a cage from the house, opened the cage door, and took a steel fork and looked directly at the tumbling clouds.

Suddenly a huge thunder sounded, the sky seemed to turn into day, a blue-faced fanged Lei Gong fell from the sky, the man struggled to stab out the steel fork, right in the middle of Lei Gong's old waist, the man took advantage of the situation to lock Lei Gong into the cage, close the cage door, and then relaxed.

Early the next morning, the man was ready to go out to buy spices. Why buy spices? It turned out that the man was going to kill Lei Gong and then marinate it into bacon as a dish for dinner.

When the man left, Lei Gong rolled left and right in the cage, making people feel that he was dying, he asked for some water, and finally the little girl couldn't help it and gave Lei Gong a few drops of water to drink.

Lei Gong, who had recovered his mana, was very happy, and after breaking through the cage, he pulled out a tooth and gave it to the brothers and sisters, telling them to plant it in the soil and hide it in the fruit in the event of a disaster, and then Lei Gong flew away, and when the man returned, it was too late.

The two children planted Lei Gong's teeth in the ground, and soon the seeds sprouted, and the next day, a huge gourd was formed, which the brothers and sisters sawed open, and found that there was enough space inside for two people to hide. On the third day, there was another lightning and thunder, and the flood almost flooded the earth, and the two children escaped, because they hid in the big gourd, and when the flood receded, they found that only two brothers and sisters were left in the world.

Because these two men survived hiding in a gourd, their names are related to gourds. According to the record of "Fuxi Kao", in ancient times, "Fuxi" had the meaning of "gourd", so the boy was called Fuxi, and the girl was called Nuwa, which had the meaning of "female gourd".
