preface:
Creating people and supplementing the heavens are the two major achievements of Nuwa. Behind the myth may be a simple fact, which, although presented in a figurative way in the Northwest Sea of the Great Wasteland, has long been unknown:
"The Great Wilderness of the West Sutra": There are ten gods, named nuwa's intestines, transformed into gods, in the wilderness of chestnuts, and in the crosswalk.
The intestines of Nüwa are broken enough to stand on the four poles and save the people from the hot intestines of the ancient road of water and fire, and this interpretation has been seen, and "In the World - The Wasteland" will re-understand Nüwa from another perspective.

There are ten gods
Zhou Shuren has a word, everything must be studied, before it can be understood.
To understand Nuwa, we must study the intestines of Nuwa and the meaning of the Ten Divine Beings.
All indications are that this is the origin of the Nüwa myth in the written record.
The method of research is string matching, searching for all the sentences in the Great Wilderness West Classic that contain "someone" and "name" or "trumpet", and we get ten names, that is, there are ten gods:
Some people are known as Shi Yi, who come to the wind and wei, and are located in the northwest corner to the length of the sun and the moon.
There are people who cultivate Fang, and the name is Shu Jun.
There is Mount Tsuki. There is someone on it, known as the Prince Changqin.
Some people are dressed in green clothes and cover their faces with robes, and they are called the corpses of female uglys.
Someone has a back arm, known as Tianyu.
There is the Mountain of the Golden Gate, and some people are called the corpse of Huang Ji.
There is Dai Sheng, tiger teeth, leopard tail, cave, known as the Queen Mother of the West.
Someone is leaderless, Dun Li, known as the corpse of Xia Geng.
Some people are called Wu Hui, QiZuo, and no right arm.
Someone adorned two green snakes, rode two dragons, and the name was xiahou kai.
Ten people have a lot of heads, this article will not introduce them one by one, only one question:
Why is the intestine of Nuwa ten gods, not nine or eleven?
In fact, this question is close to the following other questions, and the answers may not be the same, but it is helpful for thinking:
Why is the number of heavenly stems ten?
Why do I use decimal more in my life?
Why was there a myth of the Ten Days in ancient times?
Ten-day myth
In ancient Chinese mythology, the occurrence of ten days and one day appeared frequently, there were no nine days, and there were no eleven days.
Behind the myth, the small probability is because there are really many suns, and the high probability is because there are many suns painted on a certain calendar map.
"Huainanzi BenjingXun": When yao was arrested, the ten days came out together, scorching the crops, killing the grass and trees, and the people had nothing to eat. Hedgehogs, chiseled teeth, nine babies, gales, sealed pigs, and snakes are all harmful to the people. Yao Nai made Yi Jie chisel his teeth in the wilderness of Yuhua, killed nine babies on the fierce water, paid the wind to Qingqiu Zhize, shot up for ten days, and killed the hedgehog down, cut off the snake in the cave court, and captured the pig in the mulberry forest.
"Chu Ci Zhang Sentence": Yao Shi ten days and out, grass and trees scorched, Yao life Yi shot ten days, in the middle of the nine days, the day in the nine Wu are dead, fell on its wings, so leave it for one day.
"The Great Wilderness of the South Classic": Beyond the Southeast Sea, between the sweet waters, there is the country of Xihe. There is a woman named Xihe, Fang Ri bathed in Ganyuan, Xi He, the wife of Emperor Jun, born for ten days.
Is it fun to draw so many suns?
He Xin believes in "The Code of Chinese Civilization" that Yin Shang advocates the concept of "ten" numbers, and there may have been a October chronology in ancient times, thirty-six days of the month.
In this way, the roots of the ten-day myth most likely come from the distant October Chronicle. The essence of the ten days is that the ancients divided the year into ten units, and painted the sun in the ten positions on the map to indicate the direction of sunrise and sunset at different times.
According to Baidu: The Yi October solar calendar is a calendar with 12 genera phase regression days, 3 genera phase cycles as a month calendar, 1 year with 10 months, 360 days, plus 5 days "New Year's Day", the whole year is 365 days.
365=10 * 12 * 3 + 5：
365 represents the year, 10 represents the heavenly stem, 12 represents the earth branch, 3 represents the 30th, and 5 represents the New Year.
The essence of the October calendar is the solar calendar, which does not take into account the existence of the moon at all, and is a simple and primitive calendar; it is said that there is a book in the Great Library of Pressure Mountain that says Aristotle's words: 4,000 years ago the sky had no moon.
The essence of the December calendar is the luni-yang calendar, which takes into account the 30-day cycle of the moon, and in order to ensure the multiple relationship between the month and the year, a complex rule of seven leaps must be placed every nineteen years:
365 * 19 = 354 * 19 + 30 * 6 + 29 * 1
365 represents the year, 30 and 29 represent the month, 354 represents the 12 months, and 19 and 6+1 represent the leap month rule;
The five divisional units of the oracle bone character may express the October calendar, and the seven positioning mountains of the Great Wilderness East Longitude represent the December calendar. The Pole of the Four Directions 《Among the Worlds -Pole Chapter-Temple of Heaven》

"Xia Xiaozheng"
The October calendar is relatively primitive and ancient, and as profound as Confucius, he also wanted to understand what was going on, and the clue was "Xia Xiaozheng".
The Analects of the Eight Sayings: Zi Yue: "Xia Li, I can say it, but I can't sign it; Yin Li, I can say it, Song is not enough sign." The literature is insufficient, so it is enough that I can sign it.
The summer ceremony is not the red tape of the Zhou people, and the summer ceremony should first be the calendar and the solar terms.
"History of Xia Benji": When Confucius was in the summer, scholars passed on Xia Xiaozhengyun.
The "Xia Xiaozheng" in the extant "Dai Li Ji" has twelve months, but the first ten months show seasonal changes in phenology, which is very in line with reality; the last two months are obviously unknown to posterity, so they are incorrectly supplemented.
The text of "Xia Xiaozheng" seems to support the ancient October calendar.
Houyi, who led to the loss of Taikang, was also a hero who shot the sun, and after Houyi replaced Xia Zheng, he may have changed the Xia calendar by the way.
Nuwa's intestines
The myths of the ten days from different sources, the Yi October solar calendar, and the Xia Xiaozheng are all hinting at the existence of the ancient October calendar.
Will the ten gods corresponding to the intestines of Nuwa refer to the October solar calendar? Every month there is a god-man as its symbol?
| January | Shi Yi |
| February | Shu Jun |
| March | Prince Changqin |
| April | The corpse of the ugly woman |
| May | Tianyu |
| June | The corpse of Huang Ji |
| July | Queen Mother of the West |
| August | The corpse of Xia Geng |
| September | Wu Hui |
| October | Open after summer |
We append the names of the months of the Western calendar:
The English month of July is called July, and the Western calendar says it is Caesar's name, Julius Caesar.
The English month of August is called August, and the Western calendar says it is the name of Caesar's nephew Octavian, Gaius Octavius Augustus.
It is also said that Caesar conquered Egypt and obtained an advanced calendar in a place of great pressure, so he changed the calendar of the Roman Empire from ten months to twelve months, and the story of his uncle and nephew is very inspirational and touching.
Saying That Caesar means that the month can correspond to the names of the gods and men, in the eyes of the turtles, this is the great Western Roman tradition, and in the eyes of the earth turtle, this is the tradition of the Classic of Mountains and Seas of the strange and chaotic gods.
In the Great Wild West Classic, the first to appear is Yu He Gonggong, and their fight is seen in the case, followed by the intestines of Nuwa, followed by the ten gods distributed from north to south.
There are ten gods who are talking about the ancient calendar of October, so why pull on the intestines?
Boldly suppose that there is a curved connection line between Nuwa and the ten gods on the ancient map, then the effect seen by the reader is exactly the intestine of Nuwa.
<大荒四经人物谱-女娲之肠>
To clarify these ten great gods, it is also necessary to clarify the concept of the corpse of so-and-so.
Corpses, not horrible corpses, but photographs and tablets of gods and men, are English logos, the Logos of Western philosophy.
According to Baidu: The oracle bone of the "corpse" is a human form that bends on the knee or lies on its side, and is the pictogram of a person who enjoys sacrifice after death. For long-dead ancestors, the living person wears makeup and serves as a corpse owner to be sacrificed, also known as "corpse". Later, the sacrificed corpses in the sacrifice were gradually replaced by woodcut tablets and portraits, and are still used today, and the "corpse" is thus extended to the god lord and the god statue.
The corpse of the ugly woman, the corpse of Xia Geng, is not a corpse, but a god statue.
In the middle of the world is the king's house, the house character from the corpse to the top, although the top of the king's house is not suitable for living, but it is suitable for hanging the portrait of the holy king.
"I Ching Master": The eldest son Shuai Shi, the disciple you corpse.
King Ji of Wu led the combined forces of the princes in front, and Zhou Gong and others carried the portrait of King Wen in the back, and went to Chaoge in a mighty way.
The Book of Rites: Zeng Zi asked, "Will there be corpses in the sacrifice?" What if you hate sacrifice? Confucius said, "Whoever sacrifices to the bereaved will have a corpse, and the corpse will be a grandson." Grandchildren make people hug them. If there is no grandchild, it is taken from the same surname Keye.
Of course, there needs to be an image of the person being sacrificed during the sacrifice, and the eldest son and grandson are very suitable choices; Confucius said that it is performance art, and it is the descendants who play their ancestors in the place of sacrifice.
"Zhuangzi Getaway": Yao Shun let the world be in Xu You, that is, the sun and the moon rise, and the fire is endless; its light is also difficult? When the rain falls, and judas is flooded, its Yu Zeye, is not also tired? The Master shall rule the whole world, and I shall be a corpse; I regard myself as lacking, please bring it to the world.
Yao Shun's meaning is that in the future, he will hand over the world to Xu Yu and resolutely stop hanging his own photos.
conclusion
The ancient October solar calendar is one of the contents that the Great Wild West Sutra tries to express;
The specific manifestation of the October ancient calendar is that there are ten gods;
The connecting line between Nuwa and the ten gods, under the pen of the writer in the picture, becomes the crooked intestine of Nuwa;
The myth of Nüwa creating man means that Nüwa created ten gods and men, which is talking about the astronomical calendar, not about human reproduction.
In addition to creating man, Nuwa will also make up the heavens.
In the Huainan Zi Astronomical Training, the former workers worked together with Huan Huan to become emperors, and they were angry and could not touch the mountain. The pillar of heaven is broken, and the earth is broken. The sky tilts to the northwest, so the sun, moon, and stars move; the earth is not satisfied with the southeast, so the water and dust return.
"Huainan Zi Lan Meditation Training": In ancient times, the four poles were abandoned, Kyushu was split, the sky was not overturned, and the earth was not carried around; the fire was indiscriminate and not extinguished, and the water was vast and endless; the beasts ate the people, and the birds grabbed the old and weak. So Nuwa refined five-colored stones to replenish the heavens, and the broken jaws were enough to erect the four poles, kill the black dragon to save Jizhou, and accumulate reed ash to stop the obscene water.
"Huainanzi" is extremely vivid, as if Liu An himself saw it, leaving aside the relevant content of the movie picture such as the bird and the beast, the depth of the water, and the key information is three:
First: the sky has collapsed, the so-called sky tilted to the northwest;
Second: the earth is not well, the so-called mountain of the zhou;
Third: the solution, the so-called five-colored stone;
The sky is tilted to the northwest
The four words of heavenly tilting northwest look anxious, but in fact, they are synonymous with repetition, do not describe any problem (description), only provide a definition (definition).
Chinese the direction in which the Earth rotates is called east, then the visual movement of the sun, moon, and stars as the background can only be westward;
Chinese the direction in which the Earth's axis of rotation points is called north, then the sky represented by the Polaris Purple Micro Palace can only be in the north;
Therefore, as long as the earth does not stop rotating, the sky can only tilt to the northwest.
Logically, Nuwa did not need to intervene, nor could she change.
On summer nights, at the top of the mountain, above the Temple of Heaven, looking up at the sky, it is always the sky that tilts to the northwest.
Heaven tilting to the northwest is a correct nonsense, so the big premise of Nüwa to make up for the sky is actually a false proposition.
Mountains of the Unknown
"The Western Mountain Classic": Three hundred and seventy miles northwest, the mountain of the Zhou Dynasty. Looking north to the mountains of Zhubi, to the mountains of Yue Chong, to the east to the mountains of Shuze, the river is also submerged, and its source is muddy and bubbled. It is actually like a peach, its leaves are like dates, yellow and red, and it is not hard to eat.
"Original Taoist Training": The strength of the former common work, the mountain that cannot be touched, makes the land tilt southeast.
"Astronomical Training": The former worked together with The Emperor and the Emperor, angry and untouchable.
"The Cultivation of the Shape of the Circle": The West knows the Mountain of the Western Pole, the Gate of the Gate of the Gate; the Northwest knows the Mountain of the Unknown, the Gate of the Youdu.
If it is really a mountain, what does it mean to appear in the Astronomical Discipline?
The Stone of Five Colors
Zhuang Ziyi: The heavens of heaven, its right and evil?
The use of large bluestone to supplement the sky may be reluctant to say the past, but the use of five-colored stones cannot be understood, which will increase the construction cost and slow down the construction progress.
No one has ever talked about it, and no one has ever seen the five extra colors in the sky, which shows the essence of the five-colored stone, which is not a color at all.
How to understand the five-colored stone?
Having asked so many questions about the myth of heaven patching, the answers are now published.
In fact, the heavens are the same as the creation of man, still talking about the calendar, as shown in the following figure:
365 is the earth's fixed number in the solar system and cannot be changed;
360 is 36 *10 or 30 *12, if October is a year, January 36 days, and the year's 365 rotation cycles are 5 days apart; if December is a year, January 30 days, it is still 5 days.
The essence of the five-colored stone is 365-360=5;
On March 3, the weather was new, and the Doree people on the water's edge of Chang'an;
During the Qingming Festival, the rain is pouring, and the pedestrians on the road want to break their souls;
The autumn wind is now again, changing the human world;
In the autumn of Nongshu, in July, SuZi and the guests swam under the Chibi.
If you want to arrange your life in a rhythm of four seasons, 10 or 12 intervals, 30 days of clouds and sunshine, and 24 solar terms, you must choose a perfect number to facilitate the implementation of various divisions of the time of year.
This number is 360, which is close to 365, which is a multiple of 2/3/4/5/6/8/10/12/24/30.
There is a stone in both Journey to the West and Dream of the Red Chamber, one becoming Sun Wukong and the other becoming Jia Baoyu; the former is a unique immortal stone, three inches and six inches and five feet high, and the latter is superfluous waste, the 36,500th stubborn stone of Nuwa.
In China's most classic culture, stones are inseparable from the number 365, so is the essence of the five-color stone material, color, or number, is not obvious?
Nuwa makes up the heavens, Nuwa makes up the astronomical calendar day, Nuwa as a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder, with 5 this stone, plus the perfect number of 360, to cope with the imperfect real world of 365.
After talking about the two myths, look at their relationship.
Beyond the Northwest Sea, in the corner of the Great Desolation, there are mountains but not together, and the name is not Zhou Negative. There are two yellow beasts guarding it. There is water known as cold and hot water, there are wet mountains in the west of the water, and there are curtain mountains in the east of the water. There is Yu attacking gonggong guoshan.
There is a national name known as Lady Shushi, the son of The Lady of the Mole.
There are ten gods, known as the intestines of Nuwa, who are transformed into gods and are in the wilderness of Chestnut Broad. Crossing the road.
There are multicolored birds, there are crowns, and they are called wild birds.
A short paragraph of text tells us a few pieces of information:
First: Nuwa is in the northwest direction, and there is a strange mountain in this direction, called Buzhou Negative Son;
Second: Just after introducing Nuwa, he began to say that the first great god was called Shi Yi, who was responsible for the length of the sun and the moon;
Third: there are multicolored birds;
Please note that the three elements of the "Huainanzi" myth of making up the heavens: the northwest of the sky, the mountain of the zhou, and the multicolored stone (colorful bird + shiyi), have long been hidden in the wilderness.
Just by using a little imagination, from the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" to "Astronomical Training" and "Meditation Training" is completely a word game.
Moreover, the myth of Nüwa patching up the heavens appears in the Astronomical Training, which in itself can no longer be clearly implied.
Another note: The Classic of Mountains and Seas is a book dedicated to the little emperor when Wang Mang and Liu Xin were in power at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, and the Huainan Zi is a book dedicated to Liu An, the king of Huainan during the han wu emperor period, and it seems that the "Huainan Zi" is earlier; but the text of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" must have its original map, and Sima Qian also knew the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" during the Han Wu period, so when compiling the "Huainan Zi", it is completely reasonable to speculate that there is a copy of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" or "Mountain and Sea Map" at hand.
Whether the nuwa myth is to create man or to repair the heavens, its essence is an astronomical problem:
Nuwa created man, the intestine of Nuwa, there are ten gods, is the October solar calendar;
The heavens tilt to the northwest is the position of the Nuwa script in the Great Wilderness West Classic, and also the position of the nuwa image in the calendar chart;
The mountain of the uncloth, the day of the uncloth, the five-colored stone, is the difference between the 365 degrees of the week and the 360 degrees of the circle.
Nuwa also has the identity of Fuxi's sister and spouse, and this topic is reinterpreted in the "Wasteland - Fuxi".
