When and when did the legendary figures such as Nuwa and Tathagata appear?

The Goddess of Creation in China's ancient mythology. Legend has it that she and Fuxi are brother and sister. She married Fuxi and gave birth to human beings. Later, Nu Wa forbade brother and sister to marry, which reflected the progress from consanguineous marriage to extrafamilial marriage in China's primitive times. It is also said 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 and slay the beasts. It is also said that Nu Wa made a musical instrument called Sheng Chun, so people regard Nu Wa as the goddess of music. Custom Yi Tong records that she established a marriage system for human beings, enabling young men and women to intermarry and reproduce, so she is called the goddess of marriage. There are many legends about Nuwa, which have been passed down to this day and have far-reaching influence. Up to now, Miao and Dong people in Yunnan, China still worship Nuwa as the ancestor of their own nation.

Also known as Nu Wa and Nu Wa Niangniang, Feng was born in (now Qin 'an County, Gansu Province) and called himself Fengli (or sacrificed for Fengli). Is the goddess in China's historical myths and legends. Is the great mother of the Chinese nation, who kindly created us and bravely took care of us from natural disasters. It is the creator god and ancestor god widely worshipped by people for a long time. She has magical power and can create at least seventy things every day.

There is no record of the birthplace of Nuwa clan in the literature, but according to the relationship between Fuxi and Nuwa, the hometown of Nuwa should also be within the scope of ancient times. When talking about Hulu River, a tributary of Weihe River, Li Daoyuan's Notes on Water Classics specifically mentioned the ancient Loi Wo Temple there. On the Hulu River in Qin 'anlong Town, not far from Dadiwan, there are Nuwa Cave and Laiwo Temple dedicated to Nuwa. Longcheng is also known as "the hometown of Wa emperors". Nu Wa also takes Feng as her surname. Up to now, there are Fengtai, Feng Ying, Fengwei Village and other places, all related to Nuwa's surname.

Nu Wa in the Legend of Nansanmiao Nationality

There are different opinions about the legend of Nuwa, some say before Pangu, and some say after Pangu. ...

According to folklore, different nationalities have different names, such as Nuo Gong Nuo Niang, Xiong Jingjing Mei, Noah Nova, Noah's brother and sister, Nanshan Old Dong Xiao Mei, Jiang Lang Jiang Mei and so on.

Legend has it that the first people were drowned by the flood, leaving only Fuxi brothers and sisters, and later people were descendants of Fuxi brothers and sisters.

This legend is systematic. Fuxi's brother and sister's mother gave birth to them 12 brother and sister, Wang Long, Wang She, Wang Lei, Hou Yi (queen ant), Wang Su (probably from Wang Sui Sui Sui), Nuo brother and Nuo sister (and the legend is Nuo brother and sister). Wang lung got into the water and the king snake drilled a hole. Chloe Wang had nowhere to hide and was burned. Chloe Wang has a bad temper and is bent on seeking revenge from Wang Su. Every time, Wang Su cleverly avoided it. His mother was ill and said that only Chloe Wang's meat could cure her illness. Chloe Wang certainly didn't want to, but he still wanted to get revenge on Wang Su. Finally, he was put into the trap of Wang Su. Nogo went to farm that day, and no one else was there, only good people. Soft grinding and hard foaming, Sister Nuo was soft-hearted, and gave him a bowl of porridge. Chloe Wang said that it would be better to have a bowl of water, so Sister Nuo gave him a bowl of water. After Wang Leigang finished drinking, Lei Guang made a masterpiece, broke the cage, pulled out a tooth and gave it to Sister Nuo as a reward, saying that the Tianmen opened and planted it. Thunder rumbled and the Tianmen opened. Finally, a huge gourd (ancient sound, servant, Fu You gourd worship) grew out and hung upside down. At this time, a woodpecker flew in, hollowed out the gourd, and then its brother and sister got in. With the rising water, the gourd collected many animals. It rose to the sky and found Chloe Wang. Chloe Wang wouldn't listen, and then Chloe Wang got scared. No way, Wang Lei had to attract 10 suns to dry the flood, but when the water dried up, it fell into drought and everyone died. Nuo Gong invited Hou Yi (queen ant), who flew to the hibiscus tree (the legendary sacred tree connecting man and god) and shot down the sun with his tail needle. Nuo Gong felt that there was no sun. ...

There is also a passage that the Nuo brothers and sisters divined three times (connected with the ancient sound of the servant, or perhaps left by Fuxi). My brother and sister got married and rolled rice in two directions at the top of Buzhoushan Mountain. As a result, the rice mill collided at the foot of the mountain and caught fire on both sides. As a result, Sister Nuo was shy. Just say that if you catch up with me, I will marry you. Finally, I met my sister ... My sister was married and shy, so she covered her face with a fan. Nogo's image is flushed and his eyes are protruding. Legend has it that he was sunburned 10 suns. Sister Nuo is very clever and covers her face with a handkerchief, so she is still white. Nu Wa is the god of marriage and fertility. This is why Chinese wedding customs use bead curtains or hijab. There is also a rule that clans can't get married, which may have been made when Nu Wa was in power.

In fact, the reason is that their mother was destroyed by Chloe Wang, and their struggle will destroy the world. Of course, her illness is also fake.

This legend may include two legends of Nuwa, one is the mother of 12 brother and sister, and the other is the daughter-in-law who got married and had children.

Fuxi and Nuwa have the same ancient pronunciation. The maternal line of Fu and Nuwa is Fahrenheit (often Hua Xushi), and Fahrenheit may be a primitive China.

Nu Wa in Reality

Nu Wa is a real historical figure, who mainly lives in the Loess Plateau. Her tomb is located in Donghou Village, Zhao Cheng Town, Hongtong County, Shanxi Province. The tomb of Nuwa may have existed for more than three or four thousand years. Like the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor, it is also the temple of the ancient emperors in China. Every year around the tenth day of the third lunar month, a seven-day large-scale temple fair and sacrificial activities are held.

Myths and legends

* * * Gong and Nu Wa fought for the emperor, and Nu Wa ordered Zhu Rong's army to attack Gong.

* * * Gong Bing was defeated and hit Zhoushan with his head.

No, Zhoushan is Tianzhu, and it was hit by a worker named * * *, making an earth-shattering sound. Mountain collapse, Tianzhu fracture, the earth tilted to the southeast, and seawater poured into the land. Most people in the plain drowned, so the survivors had to flee to the mountains.

But the mountain forest is the territory of mammals, who are very angry after being disturbed and launch crazy attacks on human beings. Many people were killed and eaten by wild animals.

Human beings have suffered unprecedented disasters, some drowned by floods, some killed by collapsed rocks, some killed by wild animals and birds, and human beings are in danger of extinction.

The Goddess of Mending Heaven is the most widely circulated myth in Sanjin.

This myth comes from Huainan Zilan Ming Pian, and the full text is as follows:

In ancient times, the four poles were abolished, Kyushu was cracked, the sky was not covered, and the land was incomplete; Fire never goes out, 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. Tianbu, four poles are positive; Water is dry, Jizhou is flat; When a cunning worm dies, it destroys people's livelihood; Return to the state and embrace the sky.

In the cosmic era, the water god Zhu Rong and the fire god Zhu Rong fought for some reason, and finally Zhu Rong defeated the worker. Water god * * * workers are ashamed and resentful because of losing, but they are the pillars of indomitable spirit. The mountain broke, the big pillar supporting heaven and earth broke, the sky fell by half, and a big hole appeared. Mankind is facing an unprecedented disaster.

Nu Wa witnessed such a strange disaster and felt very painful, so she decided to mend the sky to end it. She chose various colored stones, set them on fire and melted them into mud, filled the hole with this mud, and then cut off four feet of a chinemys reevesii as four pillars to support half the collapsed sky. Nu Wa also captured and killed the black dragon, which killed the people, and stopped the arrogance of the dragon and snake. Finally, in order to prevent flooding, Nuwa also collected a large number of reeds, burned them into ashes and buried them in the flood that spread everywhere.

After some efforts and rectification by Nu Wa, the sky was finally filled up, the land was filled up, the water stopped, the dragons, snakes and beasts disappeared and the people lived a happy life again. But after all, this catastrophic disaster left its mark. Since then, the sky is still tilted to the northwest, so the sun, moon and stars naturally return to the west, and because the ground is tilted to the southeast, all the rivers gather there. When the rainbow appears in the sky, it is the colorful light of our great Nuwa.

After this disaster, there are few human survivors.

In order to make mankind develop again, Nu Wa picked up clay figurines with loess and soil by hand.

A Record of Nu Wa's Making Man

Two Essays on Nu Wa in Custom Tong;

1, the original: As the saying goes, there was no one, and Nu Wa (legend has it that a human face snake created human beings) fought, and Loess was human. The audience is sitting (hard), unable to supply (it is too late to supply with all their strength), just pulling (pulling, pulling) the rope in the mud and being led by others. Therefore, the rich are all loess people; Poor people, lead rope (rope, thick rope) people also.

According to folklore, at the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth, there was no human being on the earth, which was made by Nu Wa squeezing loess. 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.

2, the original: Nu Wa Blessing Shrine is a female media, because of marriage.

Nu Wa prayed in the shrine and asked God to appoint her as matchmaker. So Nuwa arranged for men and women to get married.

"Peaceful Magnolia": Before Nu Wa made people, she made chickens on the first day of the first month, dogs on the second day, sheep on the third day, pigs on the fourth day, cows on the fifth day and horses on the sixth day. On the seventh day, Nu Wa made a small clay figurine with loess and water according to her own appearance. She made batch after batch, which was too slow, so. In order to make human beings pass on forever, she created a wedding ceremony, acted as a matchmaker herself, let people know the method of "making people" and carry on the family line by her own strength. Another legend, unique, is that Nu Wa and Fuxi are brother and sister. At the beginning of the universe, there were only two brothers and sisters between heaven and earth. At the foot of Kunlun Mountain, there was no one else in the world. I want to be husband and wife, but I am ashamed. My brother and sister immediately went to Kunlun Mountain and cursed: "If God agrees to marry my brother and sister, please gather all the clouds in the sky or disperse them." . So the clouds in the sky immediately closed, and they became husband and wife, and the Chinese nation was their descendants.

Custom Romance: Wherever there is a place to come to Wo Temple, it is popular to come to Wo Temple to beg for children. Although there is no scientific basis, it is permeated with a primitive reproductive worship culture. In primitive times, tribal wars were cruel and frequent, all of which depended on human confrontation, with many deaths. Therefore, people expect women to have a large number of children, so that the clan can prosper and avoid the fate of extinction.

According to the description of China myth, at first she pinched people with loess, but because of the slow speed, she threw mud with wicker to create a large number of people. In the past, all the people squeezed out of the loess were dignitaries; The people who were later created by throwing dirty water were ordinary people. There are different ways to create human beings. This legend is also believed that in slave society and feudal society, rulers tried to instill "the theory of destiny" into the people in order to safeguard their ruling interests.
