Lesson 21 Nuwa creates people

Lesson 21 Nuwa creates people

Yuan Ke

After the opening of heaven and earth, there were sun, moon and stars in the sky, mountains and plants on the ground, and even birds, animals, insects and fish, but there were no human beings alone.

I don't know when, a powerful goddess appeared, named Nuwa. One day, Nuwa was walking on this field of mang(mǎng) manghai (zhēn) hazel, looking at the surrounding scene, and felt very lonely. She felt that between heaven and earth, she should add something to it and make it vibrant.

Add a little bit of what?

Walking, walking, she walked a little tired, and accidentally squatted down next to a pool. The clear water of the pool reflects her face and figure: she laughs, and the shadows in the pool also smile at her; She pretended to be angry, and the shadows in the pool were also angry at her. She suddenly moved, there are all kinds of creatures in the world, but there are no creatures like herself, so why not create a creature like herself to join the world?

Thinking about it, she picked up a lump of yellow mud from the edge of the pool, mixed it with water, kneaded it in her hand, pinched it, and squeezed it into a small thing like a doll.

She lowered the little thing to the ground. It is strange to say that this muddy little fellow, as soon as he touched the ground, came to life, and opened his mouth and shouted:

"Mom!"

A burst of elated jumps and cheers followed, expressing his joy in life.

Nuwa looked at this intelligent and beautiful creature created by her own hands, and heard the shout of "mother", and couldn't help but be full of joy and smile.

She gave her beloved child a name called "People."

Although the human body is small, it is said that because it was created by God, its appearance and actions are somewhat like that of a god, and it is different from a flying bird or a crawling beast. In this way, it seems that there is an extraordinary spirit to manage the universe.

Nuwa is very happy with her work. So, she continued to do her work, and she made many cute little people who can say they can walk out of yellow mud. These little people jumped around her and cheered, making her feel indescribably happy and comforted. Since then, she no longer feels lonely and lonely.

She was determined to fill the earth with these sensitive little creatures. However, after all, the land is too vast, she has worked for a long time, she still has not fulfilled her wishes, and she is already tired.

In the end, she came up with a brilliant way to create humanity. She pulled a téng from the cliff face, stretched it into a mire, stirred it into a yellow mud, then lifted the téng and swung it around. I saw that where the mud splashed, many little people who were shouting and jumping appeared, just as smart and beautiful as the little people who were made of yellow mud before. The shouts of "Mom" and "Mom" echoed all around.

Working in this way is really simple and hassle-free. As soon as the rattan waved, many living people appeared. Soon, the earth was covered with traces of human beings.

Although there are humans on the earth, Nuwa's work has not ended. She thought again: People are going to die, can they die and create a batch? That's too much trouble. How can we keep them going? This is a difficult problem.

Later, she finally came up with a way to divide the little people into men and women, and let them create their own offspring. In this way, humanity continues from generation to generation and increases day by day.
