Next, the legendary story of Nuwa creating human beings

In ancient mythology, Nuwa is the ancestor god of mankind. According to legend, she used loess to shape a human being based on herself, thereby giving birth to human society. She also prescribed the marriage system for human beings, allowing young men and women to marry and have children, so she is also called the goddess of marriage.

The Loneliness of the Goddess

It is said that after Pangu created the world, he used his body to create the sun, moon and stars, rivers, lakes and seas, wind, clouds, thunder and lightning, rain, dew and sweet rain. The aura of his soul that remained between heaven and earth gradually transformed into birds, beasts, insects, and fish, adding vitality to the lonely and silent world.

One day, the goddess Nuwa came to the world created by Pangu. She has the face of a human and the body of a snake, walking in the vast wilderness. She looked around and saw high mountains, surging rivers, lush vegetation, and birds singing in harmony. The whole world was picturesque. However, she always felt that there was something missing in the world, but she couldn't put it into words for the moment. She just felt a little monotonous.

She expressed her heartfelt feelings to birds, beasts, insects, and fish, and poured out her sorrows to grass, trees, mountains, and rivers, but they all had no response. Nuwa sat melancholy by a pool, looking at her reflection in the water in trance. Suddenly, the wind blew a row of leaves into the pool, causing ripples to appear on the water, blurring her reflection. She suddenly realized: What the world lacks is a kind of spiritual, talking and thinking creature like Juncan! Thinking of this, she decided to take matters into her own hands and create such a life!

Human being made of yellow mud

Nuwa dug some soil by the pool with her hands, then watered it and mixed it into mud, and started kneading it according to her own image.

With three pinches and two pinches, it becomes a tiny clay figurine with distinct facial features, limbs and seven orifices. Nuwa put the clay figurine on the ground and thought to herself that in addition to having life, this clay figurine also has thoughts. It must be able to think like herself, and have seven emotions and six desires, including joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. So, she blew a breath of fairy air into the clay figurine's mouth, and the clay figurine came to life. Nuwa loved this smart and lively little creature very much and named it "Human".

Nuwa squeezed and squeezed, refusing to rest. She blew Yang air on some clay figurines, which contained a competitive male substance, so the clay figurines turned into men; she blew Yin air on other clay figurines, which contained a soft and docile female substance, so they became men. They become women.

Nuwa wanted to create more villains and spread them all over the earth, but it was too inefficient to do so. Suddenly, she saw a thick vine, took it in her hand, dipped it in the yellow mud, and then threw it to the ground. I saw mud splashing everywhere, and as soon as it hit the ground, it turned into a little man, jumping around. Nuwa held the cane and kept swinging it, and there were more and more people on the ground. They walked together in twos and threes, some climbed the mountains, some went down to the water, and some walked into the forest, leading different lives. Later, Nuwa also referred to the method of animal reproduction and allowed humans to combine men and women to continue the family line. Since human beings are creatures created after gods and cannot be the same as animals, she formulated a marriage system for people to distinguish them from the conjugal union of animals. Therefore, later generations also regarded Nuwa as the "divine matchmaker".
