Nwa the Mother Goddess and Her Creation Myths

In ancient Chinese mythology, Nüwa is a revered figure who embodies maternal love, wisdom, and creativity. As one of the most important deities in China's pantheon of gods and goddesses, she plays a central role in many stories that have been passed down for generations. This article will delve into Nüwa's fascinating tales and explore her significance within the broader context of Chinese folklore.

The Birth of Nüwa

The story of Nüwa begins with her birth from a stone. According to legend, after the Great Flood had ravaged Earth and destroyed all life forms except for humans on Mount Kunlun (Kunlun Mountains), Pangu—the first living being—was left alone. In his grief over losing his companion Yin Yang (the primordial forces), he wept tears that hardened into stones called "Jade Stones." These stones eventually gave rise to various creatures including humans.

The Repairing Heaven

One day while walking on Mount Kunlun, Nüwa discovered that heaven was broken due to two great monsters' battle: Zhulong (the fire god) and Buzhisheng (the water god). She decided to repair this celestial body by using five colored sands: red sandstone for the foundation; blue stone for its base; white jade for its middle part; yellow gold or cinnabar for its top part; green jade at last as an ornament.

Creating Humans

After repairing heaven with these materials from earth below it became possible once again to live under it peacefully without fear from natural disasters caused by their battle like floods or fires.

Filling Gaps in Heaven

As time went by another problem arose when there were gaps between mountains which led people falling through them causing injuries resulting deaths because they fell too far before landing safely back onto solid ground below where they started climbing up.
