释义 | 女娲 Nǚwā noun Nüwa [goddess who patched the holes in the sky with stone blocks] 女娲In Chinese mythology, Nüwa is a goddess who created people out of the yellow earth. First she made officials and aristocrats. Later, swinging a mud-covered rope, she created ordinary people from the scattered mud spots. She also melted five precious stones to patch up the sky when the heavens collapsed and the earth caved in, and birds of prey and fierce beasts appeared to destroy mankind. To this day, the Miao and Dong people in Yunnan Province still honour Nüwa as their people's earliest ancestor. |
