Nuwa

Nuwa

This legend is relatively systematic. The mother of the Fuxi brothers and sisters gave birth to their 12 brothers and sisters, Wang Long, Wang She, Wang Lei, Hou Yi (Queen Ant), Wang Su (possibly Wang Sui - Sui Ren), Brother Nuo, Sister Nuo (there are also legends that brother Nuo and sister Nuo are the grandchildren of the old grandmother), etc. The 12 brothers and sisters quarreled endlessly. The youngest Wang Su was the smartest. They competed to climb a mountain that day. As a result, Wang Su dug a log to make fire and burned the mountain. The mother was worried and reminded her at the foot of the mountain that Wang Long went into the water and the king snake burrowed into the hole. Wang Lei had no place to hide and was burned. Wang Lei had a bad temper and wanted to take revenge on Wang Su, but Wang Su cleverly tricked him every time. Dodge. The mother was ill and said that only Wang Lei's meat could cure her illness. Of course Wang Lei didn't want to, but he still wanted to seek revenge on Wang Su, and finally fell into Wang Su's trap and was imprisoned. Brother Nuo went to farm that day, and no one else was there. Only the kind-hearted Sister Nuo looked after Wang Lei. Wang Lei lied that he was about to die of thirst, so he asked Nuo Mei for some water, but she was soft-hearted and gave him a bowl of porridge. Wang Lei said that it would be better if he had a bowl of water, so Nuo Mei gave him a bowl of water. As soon as Wang Lei finished drinking, he broke open the prison with lightning and came out. He pulled out a tooth and gave it to the Nuo girl as a reward, saying that he would plant it when the Heavenly Gate opens. Thunder rumbled, and the Heavenly Gate opened, but the Thunder God's fangs did not react at all. Later, Brother Nuo planted it in order in all directions (the corresponding attributes of the Bagua may be related to farming), and finally a huge gourd grew (in ancient pronunciation, Pu, Fuxi worshiped gourds). The Tianhe River was hanging upside down. At this time, a woodpecker flew up and emptied the gourd. Brother Nuo and sister Nuo got in. The gourd continued to rise with the water, and many animals were collected during the process. He went up to the sky and found Wang Lei. Wang Lei was asked to collect the flood, but Wang Lei refused to listen. Then there was a fight. Wang Lei was afraid, and then agreed to collect the flood. Brother Nuo said: Are you going to kill us by collecting the flood immediately? There was no other way, so Wang Lei had to invite 10 suns to dry up the flood. But after the water dried up, there was a severe drought and everyone died. Duke Nuo invited Hou Yi (the queen ant), and Hou Yi flew up to the Fusang tree (legend has it that it is the sacred tree that connects the worlds of man and God) and shot down the sun with its tail needle. Duke Nuo felt that without the sun, there would be no light. Hou Yi was asked to leave two people below, one to come out during the day and one to come out at night. The hibiscus tree was also trampled down by Hou Yi. From then on, the world of humans and gods could not travel easily... In fact, the reason was that their mother borrowed money from the king. The Hand of Thunder will destroy them, and their fight will destroy the world. Of course, her claim of illness is also false.

There is also a passage about the marriage of Nuo brother and Nuo sister three times (which is similar to the Pugu sound and may have been left by Fuxi).

I rolled the rollers in two directions on the top of Buzhou Mountain, but they collided at the foot of the mountain. I lit a fire on both sides, and the smoke merged in the sky. As a result, the Nuo girl was shy and said that if you catch up with me, I will marry you. Running around the mountain, the Nuo girl ran in front, and the Nuo brother chased behind. Then someone looked anxious, and the Earth God came out and said to Nuo Gong, "Can you turn around and run that way soon?" Finally, I met the Nuo girl... The Nuo girl was married and was shy, so she covered her face with a fan. The image of Brother Nuo is that he has a red face and prominent eyes. Legend has it that he was exposed to 10 suns. Sister Nuo cleverly covered her face with a handkerchief so she is still fair. Nuwa is the god of marriage and fertility. This is also the Chinese wedding custom, using beads. It may be because of the curtain or hijab, and the rule that clan members cannot get married may have been set during Nuwa's reign.

This legend may include the legend of two Nuwa. One is the Nuwa who created humans and is the mother of the 12 brothers and sisters. The second is the Nuwa who married and gave birth to children, which is the Nuo sister.

Fuxi and Nuwa have similar ancient sounds. The mother clan of Fuxi and Nuwa is the Huayan clan (often called the Huaxu clan). The Huayan clan may be the original Chinese clan.

The sky is not covered, the earth is not spread, the fire is not extinguished, the water is endless, the wild beasts eat the people, the birds of prey prey on the old and the weak. So Nuwa made five-color stones to mend the sky, and cut off the turtle to stand up to the sky. At Ji, kill the black dragon to help Jizhou, and accumulate reed ashes to stop the water. The sky will be restored, and the four poles will be upright; the water will dry up, and Jizhou will be at peace; the cunning insects will die, and the people of Zhuan will live; turn your back to Fangzhou, and embrace the round sky."
