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.
