Today, the editor of China story network has brought you an article about Nuwa mending the sky. Welcome to read it~
Nuwa is a kind God. She has done many good things for mankind. For example, she taught people about marriage and made a musical instrument called Shenghuang. What moved people most was the story of Nuwa mending the sky.
Statement 1:
It is said that when human beings multiplied, suddenly the God of water Gonggong and the God of fire zhurong fought. They fought from heaven to the ground, making trouble. As a result, zhurong won the battle, but the failed Gonggong refused to accept it, and in a rage, he hit his head against Buzhou mountain. Buzhou mountain collapsed, the pillar supporting the heaven and earth broke, the sky fell half way, there was a big hole, the ground also sank into big cracks, the mountains and forests burned a fire, the flood gushed out from under the ground, and dragons, snakes and beasts also came out to devour the people. Mankind is facing unprecedented disasters.
Nu Wa felt extremely painful when she saw such a strange disaster suffered by mankind, so she decided to mend the sky to end the disaster. She chose all kinds of colored stones, set up a fire to melt them into slurry, filled the incomplete hole in the sky with this kind of slurry, and then cut off the four feet of a big turtle as four pillars to support the collapsed half of the sky. Nu Wa also captured and killed the black dragon who was cruel to the people, stopping the arrogance of dragons and snakes. Finally, in order to stop the flood from overflowing, Nuwa also collected a large number of reeds, burned them into ash, and buried them into the spreading flood.
After Nu Wa’s painstaking renovation, the sky was finally filled, the ground was filled, the water stopped, the dragons, snakes and beasts were missing, and the people lived a happy life again. But after all, this great disaster left traces. Since then, the sky still tilts to the northwest, so the sun, moon and stars naturally return to the west, and because the earth tilts to the southeast, all rivers converge there.
Statement 2:
It is said that after Pangu opened up the world, Nuwa pinched human beings with mud. Later, Nuwa succeeded to the throne, and the God of water Gonggong who guarded Hebei was very dissatisfied, so she made waves, and Nuwa made the God of fire zhurong fight. After a desperate struggle, Gonggong was defeated and became angry. He collided with Optimus Prime Buzhou mountain (now in the territory of the eldest son County, and also in the northwest of Kunlun Mountain), but he broke against Optimus Prime, and suddenly the sky collapsed. Heaven and earth are interlinked, pulse and Qi are abnormal, floods and fires spread, and human beings fall into disaster.
Nu Wa saw that her sons and daughters were about to lose their living conditions. She was extremely anxious, so she decided to refine stones to make up the sky. Where can I go to refine stones? Nu Wa traveled all over the mountains and chose Tiantai Mountain. The mountain here is high, the top is wide, and there are many water feet and stones. It is an ideal place to refine stones.
Nuwa spent ninety-nine and eighty-one days on Tiantai Mountain, refining a colorful boulder 12 feet thick and 24 feet wide, which was praised by the gods. So according to this method, it took another 4 years to refine 36500 pieces of five colored stones, together with the previous one, a total of 36501 pieces. The immortals and generals helped Nuwa mend the sky with 36501 yuan. Because the stone is multicolored, it forms a rainbow and rosy clouds in the sky.
After the sky mended, Nu Wa was worried that the sky would fall. At this time, a big turtle swam to give up his legs. Nu Wa felt sorry and tore down her clothes to give it to her. From then on, the turtle swam without legs and used fins. Nuwa made Optimus Prime with the four legs of the turtle. Because the West and north sides are shorter, there is a saying that “Heaven leans to the northwest”.
After Nuwa mended the day, the flood returned, the fire was extinguished, the heaven and earth were positioned, and the whole world was celebrating. People welcomed Nuwa back to the dynasty in Tiantai Mountain, and Nuwa was also very happy. After arriving at Tiantai Mountain, everyone saw that the children all over the world were living in safety and happily played Sheng and Xiao.
