Nuwa family
The Nuwa family, also known as Nv and Niangniang, also takes Feng as their surname and has the virtue of being a saint. The family of Nu Wa has the same name as the God who created man and made heaven, so they are often confused.
After the legend of Fu, Nu Wa inherited Fu's throne and title.
"Taiping Universe" and "Notes on Reading History" both record: "Nuwa's capital is twenty miles west of Xihua County, later called Nvcheng."
Record: "Fu Nu Wa is unfinished, and her virtue will remain for future generations." It is said that Fu and Nu Wa taught the world with great virtue, rather than making laws and regulations to govern the world, so they are known as "even virtue should be left to future generations".
It is said that the Nuwa family perfected the matchmaker marriage system established by Fu and re-standardized the ethics of human relations. She was the first matchmaker in the history of China. Because she built a bridge between the marriage of men and women, prayed to heaven sincerely, and was recognized by heaven and earth, and was honored as "matchmaker" or "high matchmaker" by later generations. "Huainanzi" quoted Yi Shi as saying: "Nu Wa prayed in the temple, became a female intermediary and got married."
In addition, Nu Wa also invented wind instruments such as sheng Huang, and ordered her men to make two kinds of musical instruments, the harmonica and banjo, and compose Bule, so as to educate people, cultivate people's morality and rule the world.
It is recorded that the Nuwa family ordered the Eling people to make this musical instrument Du Guanliang, so as to harmoniously unify the human melody. He also ordered Santa Claus to make this musical instrument, namely the electron tube; And according to the operation law of the universe, the sun, the moon and the stars, the music and dance of "filling music" were created. After the music score is completed, everything in the world can be enlightened and standardized, so that everything can change from the smallest point, assimilate everything and make everything harmonious and orderly.
Said: After the Nuwa family, the fifteen generations all inherited Fuxi's title.

His book Portrait has been handed down to this day. And later, Zhuangzi, Classic of Mountains and Seas, Illustration of Kings and Ministers in Past Dynasties are the four classics of TCM, which opened the source of TCM treatment. According to the medicinal properties of various medicinal materials, Shennong cured the people and solved their sufferings, and became the originator of traditional Chinese medicine.

After textual research by many experts and scholars, it is considered to be Treatise on Febrile Diseases that has been lost since ancient times. Some historical cultures that may have been lost still exist among the people.
In ancient Huang San, due to its long history, various natural and man-made disasters and even devastating disasters occurred from time to time, and most historical materials were lost. From the myths and legends handed down and the sporadic records of ancient documents, we can only get a general impression and related books, which need to be explored and improved continuously.
But the basic historical fact is that Huang San's period was a rather long historical period. During this period, the demigods, Nuwa, Shennong and their successors in the world created and accumulated the initial civilization of mankind, and led mankind to gradually civilize from savagery, and finally entered our 5,000-year round, taking the Yellow Emperor as the ancestor of mankind, which is a more brilliant interpretation of the achievements of divine culture and civilization.
