Why is Nu Wa called Nu Wa?

Nu Wa (pinyin: nǐwā), an ancient god in China, is Fuxi's sister, surnamed Feng. At first, people were made of clay, which created human society and established the marriage system. Then the world collapsed, so the colored stones were melted to fill the sky, and the turtles were cut to support the sky. The Goddess of Creation in China's ancient mythology. Legend has it that the goddess fills the sky, that is, a catastrophic disaster has occurred in nature. The sky were to fall, and birds of prey and beasts came out to harm people. Nu Wa smelted five-color stones to fill the sky and slay the beasts. There is also a legend that Nuwa took loess as a model and created human beings and human society. 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 Nu Wa 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 the magical power to transform everything, and can create at least 70 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. About the legendary Nuwa of Nansanmiao people, some say that they preceded Pangu, and some say that they followed Pangu ... Folklores have different names for different ethnic groups, such as Nuo Gong Nuo Niang, Jingmei, Noah Nova, brothers and sisters, Dongshan Nuo 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). 12 brother and sister argue endlessly, among which the youngest Wang Su is the cleverest. He climbed the mountain that day, and as a result, Wang Su drilled wood for fire and burned the mountain. Mother is in a hurry. She reminded me at the foot of the mountain that Wang lung was in the water, and the snake king had drilled a hole, so Chloe Wang had no place to hide. As a result, he was burned. Chloe Wang had a bad temper and wanted to get back at Wang Su, but Wang Su cleverly avoided him every time. Mother was ill and said that only Wang Lei's meat could cure her illness. Chloe Wang didn't want to, of course, but he still wanted to get back at Wang Su. Finally, he was trapped by Wang Su and locked up. Nogo went to farm that day, and no one else was there. Only my kind sister takes care of Wang Lei. Chloe Wang lied that he was dying of thirst, and asked his sister for water to drink. Her sister relented and gave him a bowl of porridge. Chloe Wang said it would be better if there was 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 and came out. He pulled out a tooth and gave it to Nuo's sister as a reward, saying that he would plant it when the sky opened. Thunder rumbled, the sky opened, and Raytheon's teeth didn't respond. Later, Nogo planted it in all directions in sequence (the corresponding attribute of gossip may be related to farming), and finally a huge gourd (ancient sound, servant, Fu You gourd worship) grew. Tianhe was upside down, and then a woodpecker flew in, hollowed out the gourd and got in. The gourd rose with the water, and many animals were harvested during this period. Looking up at the sky, I found Wang Lei. Wang Lei was asked to accept the flood, but Wang Lei wouldn't listen. Then there was a fight. Chloe Wang was afraid, and then he agreed to accept the flood. Nogo said, are you going to collect floods to kill us right away? No way, Chloe Wang had to attract 10 suns to dry the flood, but when the water dried up, it fell into drought and everyone died. Duke Nuo invited Houyi (the queen ant), who flew up to the hibiscus tree (the legendary sacred tree connecting man and god) and shot down the sun with his tail needle. Duke Nuo felt that there would be no light without the sun, so he asked Hou Yi to leave two at the bottom, one during the day and one at night, and the hibiscus tree also stayed. There is also a passage in which my brother and sister divined three times (connected with the ancient sound of the servant, or perhaps left by Fuxi), and my brother and sister got married. The roller rolls in two directions at the top of Buzhoushan Mountain, and the roller collides at the foot of the mountain. Fire on both sides, smoke in the sky; As a result, my sister was shy, so I said that if you catch up with me, I will marry you. I ran around the mountain, with my sister running in front and my brother chasing after me. Then someone looked worried, and the earth god came out and told my husband that you would turn around and run over at once. 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. This legend may contain two legends about Nuwa, one is the mother of 12 brother and sister, and the other is the married Nuwa who gave birth to 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. In reality, Nu Wa said that Nu Wa is a real historical figure who mainly lives in the Loess Plateau. Her mausoleum is located in Houcun, Dongzhen Town, Zhao Cheng, Hongdong County, Linfen City. 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. Edit myths and legends related to this paragraph. * * * Gong Jia and Nu Wa fought for the emperor, and Nu Wa ordered Zhu Rongjia to lead the troops against Gong Jia. According to the standard, a queen with a compound surname, Nuwa, ordered Zhu Rong's family to attack Gong's family. Zhu Rong, also known as Huozheng, was an ancient official position. Gong Shi of * * is also an ancient water conservancy official position, and the father of the unlucky worker of * * * is also an official position and Zhu Rong. As a result, the first snake Nuwa ran out to make up for it all day. * * * 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 the Ming chapter of Huainan Zilan, and the full text is as follows: the four poles in ancient times were abolished, Kyushu was divided, the sky did not overlap, and the earth did not contain it; 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 Gong Gong and the fire god Zhu Rong fought for some reason, and finally Zhu Rong defeated the water god Gong Gong. The Water God Gong Gong was ashamed and resentful because of losing, but it was a pillar that supported the sky, and it was broken. The big pillar that supported the heaven and the earth was broken, and the sky fell in 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. Nu Wa's new interpretation of the pronunciation of the word "Wa" essentially explains the deeds of the Nu Wa family. The pronunciation of the word "taste" is to simulate the "quack" sound when the spoon rubs the bottom of the pot. Read wā, ga ā, and the pronunciation is almost the same. Well, the exact words should be "well". The word "Zi" is the name of a utensil, which often creaks askew and is related to grain. This is an ancient "pot" used to cook food. "Jiyun" is called "left or left". "Wei" means an ancient cooker, similar to a tripod. It can be seen that "Guo" and "Wei" originally represent the same kind of objects, but the former is described from the perspective of subjective function, while the latter is described from the perspective of objective shape. Cooking with fire has always been a woman's business. When the ancients recorded the name of Nuwa, they added a female symbol on it to create the word "tile", which is actually the image of a housewife. Patterns of frogs and giant salamanders often appear on painted pottery in Gansu and Qinghai. Frogs croak, and giant salamanders, commonly known as giant salamanders, cry like children, which is actually a symbol for painters. Frogs and giant salamanders are both amphibians. They live near the water, and cooking food with pottery is also inseparable from water. Painting frogs and giant salamanders on pottery for cooking food is used to express their good wishes of eating and drinking. Pottery is one of the symbols of the Neolithic Age. China's pottery was invented at the end of the Voltages, when the ancients painted mud on the bottom of gourds to prevent fire, so as to cook food. However, historical legends believe that the Nuwa era was after the Fu era, indicating that the Nuwa era was actually a pottery era represented by pottery tile or pottery. Some prehistoric events exist in the form of folklore or myth, but they are based on facts. The underwater archaeological exploration of the Black Sea found that the "century flood" recorded in the Bible was based on facts. Although there is no accurate written record of "Dayu controlling water", it is generally believed that the fact of this myth is to control ancient floods. So is there such a factual basis for the myth of "Goddess mending the sky", which is older than Dayu's flood control? Recently, Wang Ruobai, a researcher at the First Monitoring Center of China Seismological Bureau, suggested that the myth of goddess mending the sky might actually be a disaster in ancient meteorite shower. What is the basis of this statement? The reporter interviewed researcher Wang Ruobai on this matter. It is found that the special landform of Baiyangdian Basin was left by a huge meteorite shower impact in the middle and late Holocene. Wang Ruobai told reporters that in recent years, when they studied the historical landforms of Baiyangdian River Basin, they found that there were a large number of special landforms from Renqiu and Hejian to Baoding and Wang Du, extending to the northwest and reaching Wanxian and Mancheng. How did this dish-shaped depression form? They used linear topographic maps and aerial photographs published nearly a hundred years ago, and used computer digital technology (DTM) to peel off the modern landform and artificial landform layer by layer, leaving only the original natural landscape. By comparing the restoration map of the depression with other meteorite impact craters with similar formation ages at home and abroad, it is found that the dished depression and its group in Baiyangdian area are the remains left on the modern alluvial plain after the huge meteorite shower impact in prehistoric times. Based on the study of modern meteorite impact by geological and geomorphological methods, they speculated that the impact occurred in a very wide area, from northern Shanxi to central Hebei, and may even extend to the vicinity of Bohai Bay. It happened at some time in prehistoric times, most likely 4,000 to 5,000 years ago. It is speculated that the scene at that time was a small comet entering the earth orbit, rushing into the atmosphere over the northern part of Shanxi and exploding at high altitude. In a very short time, it fell into the vast area from northern Shanxi to central Hebei, forming a large-scale meteorite shower. A large number of impact craters have been formed in the plain area. After the erosion of surface running water and the transformation of ancestors, a number of large impact craters finally formed Baiyangdian Lake. Other smaller waterlogged depressions have gradually become the main residential areas in this area. Some of these depressions have been eroded by surface water, but a large number of impact craters still exist-"dished depressions" still remain on the highlands between river beds. Analyzing the content of The Legend of Goddess Mending the Sky is very similar to a large-scale collision of foreign objects like meteorite shower. Wang Ruobai told reporters that the earliest records of the goddess mending the sky were Huai Nan Zi and Ming Lan Xun. The myth of the goddess mending the sky in these two works is discussed in this way. In ancient times, there were "four poles abandoned, Kyushu split, the sky did not cover, and the ground was not smooth; The fire does not go out, and the water is inexhaustible. " In other words, the sky is falling, fires are burning, floods are flooding, birds are committing crimes, and animals are rampant. Just as people were wailing and ghosts were everywhere, a goddess named Nu Wa stepped forward. She "refined five-color stones to make up the sky, broken the aojiang enough to set up four poles, killed the black dragon to help Jizhou, and accumulated reed ash to stop lewd water." So as to overcome this major natural disaster.
