Is the mother of mankind Nuwa or not?

The greatest of all human beings is the mother, Gorky also once said: no mother without everything, it is the mother to give us precious life, it is the mother's milk to raise us, it is the mother to take care of us, no matter how big you are, no matter where you go, but also less of the mother's attachment, there is a song: "no matter how far you go, no matter what you are doing, no matter how rich you are, no matter how big your official is, when, but also can not forget your mom". No matter how far you go, no matter what you are doing, no matter how rich you are, no matter how big you are, when, also can not forget your mom. Children are the continuation of their parents' lives, and parents are our lifeblood. When Mother's Day comes, you go home to see, send your mom a bunch of carnations, give her a back rub, wash her feet, you do not forget that the water has a source, the tree has a root, you have to trace back to the ancient times of mankind, human childhood, the mother of our Chinese nation - Nuwa. On Mother's Day, we gather in Zhushan County from all directions to pay homage to our originator, the great mother Nuwa. It is precisely the way we trace our life roots and do not forget the origin of our life, which is also a kind of tracing of filial piety. As Confucius said, "The nature of heaven and earth is to be valued by human beings. Man's behavior is no greater than filial piety." We would like to thank the People's Government of Zhushan County, the folks of Zhushan, for providing us with an opportunity to pay homage to our mother Nuwa.

While worshipping our founder Nuwa, I also think of Caiya, the great mother, the founder of the Europeans. Both of these great mothers lived in the ancient times of mankind, and they had the same characteristics of their times and different national characteristics.

Ceremony to the female pot, explore the culture of Nuwa, help to deepen the understanding of filial piety culture, which is history gives us to carry forward the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation - a new subject.

Two prominent figures in matriarchal society

Nuwa and Caiya are both goddesses in ancient mythology, and they appeared in the primitive matriarchal society. Humanity's worship of the goddess also began with the goddess. Therefore, the goddesses were prominent figures in the early primitive society, both in China and in foreign countries. This was the case with the Chinese ancestor, our great mother, Nuwa, and the ancient Greek mother of the earth, Caiyia. This is supported by a number of excavated artifacts: a three-thousand-year-old half-relief of a human face was unearthed in Jiangxi Village, Fufeng County, Shaanxi Province, China, and a five-thousand-year-old idol of a goddess was unearthed in Jinniu Mountain, Liaoning Province. In the 1980s, the Soviet Union unearthed more than 10,000 years ago woodcut idols are also women. From these objects, it is proved that human beings initially worshipped their ancestors as women. From the history of social development, matrilineal society preceded patrilineal society, when the people were led to utilize nature, fight with nature, and solve the problem of hunger to maintain life, and their leader was the experienced old mother, so she was the most respected and the most prominent figure.

In ancient Greek mythology, Caiya is the mother of the earth, she gave birth to the god of the sky, Uranus, and married her own son, giving birth to twelve titanic giants, which is precisely the primitive society of the group marriage system characteristic embodiment. At that time the contradiction is mainly between man and nature, between men and women only physiological requirements, no society any moral restrictions. Later Caiya and the giants were overthrown by Zeus, and the old grandmother, unwilling to be subjugated, called on the giants to rush out of hell to rebel against Zeus.

After China's heaven and earth were opened up, there was only the goddess Nuwa on the barren earth, and she felt lonely; she felt that heaven and earth should be full of life. One day, she came to the pond, the water reflected her figure, she swung the rope to the pond ten, took out the water and clay, according to the surface of the water itself to make people. "Nuwa rolled the yellow earth into a man." Nuwa is not only a god and goddess who makes people, but she also considers the survival of human beings to continue to develop, and she made equal numbers of men and women, and matched men and women together, so that they could create their offspring, and bear the responsibility of raising babies, and the seeds of mankind stretched down in this way, and added more and more day by day.

Nuwa not only created people to reproduce, but also cared about the survival of human destiny and embodied another responsibility of the great mother - "mending the sky". When mankind was in danger of destruction, she went up to mend the heavens, and down to cure the floods, creating the world of heaven and earth anew, so that mankind could live in peace again.

From the prominent position of Caiya and Nüwa in the matriarchal society, as well as the rich imaginative, fantastical and magical colors embodied in the two Patriarchs, the same characteristics of the times are reflected.

Ethnicity of Caiya and Nuwa

Caiya and Nuwa have different personality traits, which are the manifestations of their respective ethnicities, and which are formed by different ethnic temperaments and moral and ethical concepts. This difference in personality is the result of the different temperaments, moral and ethical concepts of the different nations. Caiya expresses the characteristics of the Greek women, while Nüwa expresses the character of the Chinese women, which is the cultural heterogeneity between them.

Caiya is the originator of the Greek human race and the creator of the strong world, and in her, she expresses the psychological, emotional and cultural contents of the primitive age of the ancient Greeks. Viewed from the ancient Greeks cultural psychology, she has a strong sense of self, do not allow others to violate, insult him, and strive to maintain their own majesty, both capricious, at all costs, and thus she is a courageous defense of women's rights of the warrior, but also has a clear selfishness and autonomy. Her character is a reflection of the enterprising and aggressive, creative and emotional character of the ancient Greeks. Overall, she embodies the strong character of a woman in a feminist society, a strong woman.

Nuwa's character embodies the wisdom, hard work, kindness, creativity and optimism of the Chinese people to overcome difficulties. Her kindness, modesty, open-mindedness, generosity and great love reflect the selfless spirit of a great mother. She has done countless good things for mankind, but never publicized them, thinking of future generations and the whole world at all times. Nuwa created human beings and established the marriage system for human beings, so that men and women could cooperate with each other. She was both the mother of human beings and the earliest matchmaker of human beings. She was both the mother of mankind and the earliest matchmaker of mankind. She advocated the "match made in heaven". In March, young men and women swim and play, as long as they are in love with each other, they are free to combine. The starry sky with the stars and the moon for the tent, the green grass like the earth is the bed, no one can interfere with this union is the sacred right of man. She also made the musical instrument sheng reed in order to have joy in life "Nuwa Fuxi Shu ...... people's life and make their music." This attentive, kind mother is surely full of optimism for a happy life on earth. Thus, when the world of man suffered a disaster, she spared no effort to "mend the sky." "In the ancient times, the four poles were abolished, the nine states were split, the sky was not covered, and the earth was not loaded." She revitalized heaven and earth with her unparalleled power, and took it as her duty to save mankind by refining stones to mend the sky, breaking the foot of the ao, setting up the four poles, killing the black dragon, and stopping the obscene water. She is the idealized and magical hero of mankind. From this point of view, the mother of our nation is worshipped and honored greatly more than the mothers of foreign lands.

The Nuwa culture is connected with the culture of filial piety

Today, as we pay homage to Nuwa, the mother of our nation, we feel a deep sense of guilt that we have been missing Nuwa, the mother of our distant neighbors for many years, and that our ungrateful descendants can no longer forget our roots and origins. To commemorate Nuwa is to promote the spirit of Nuwa, which is similar to the spirit of filial piety; the culture of Nuwa. Because of the history and era, Nuwa culture is not as systematic, complete and far-reaching as filial piety culture, but Nuwa culture formed by Nuwa's spirit is connected with filial piety culture, and I believe that filial piety culture has Nuwa's cultural heritage, and in a sense, Nuwa culture is the precursor of filial piety culture. Filial piety culture arose in primitive society. I believe that Nuwa culture is compatible with filial piety culture, mainly in these aspects.

1. Great love: The love that Nuwawa demonstrated was a great and profound love. She created man and cared for him in all aspects, loved him, considered his reproduction, and when mankind was faced with the plague of destruction, she stepped forward to revitalize the world by turning the danger into an opportunity. This kind of love is exactly the same as the filial piety principle of "loving others with benevolence".

2. Dedication: Dedication is a traditional virtue of the Chinese people, and the spirit of selfless dedication is especially prominent in Nuwa. She created a peaceful environment for mankind. In the culture of filial piety, parents nurture their children, children support their parents, and dedication is also advocated in the service of the king and the country.

3, Harmony: Harmony is embodied in the good relationship between man and man, and man and nature. The spirit of Nuwa embodies human nature, human feelings, the free union between men and women, and the reproduction of offspring. Her "match made in heaven" not only reflects the harmony of human relations, but also the high degree of harmony between nature and man. She also created the "reed sheng" to fill the world with music and joy, reflecting the beauty and harmony of the world. This harmony is in line with the filial piety culture, which proposes that all people in the world should live in harmony with each other. It is also evolved from filial piety to "to the world, civil harmony, up and down without grudges".

4. The pursuit of filial piety: Although Nuwawa herself did not show ten to be commemorated by her descendants, she created human beings and life. We worship and offer sacrifices to Nuwa, precisely not forgetting life by cherishing life, which is also the filial consciousness of the Chinese nation. In the spirit of Nvwa, we have also developed a sense of filial piety.

The performance of Nuwa was as high as the nine heavens and as low as the yellow earth. Her fame has spread to thousands of generations. Her light shines on everything under the sun. Nüwa culture is also a treasure of traditional Chinese culture. It is still as relevant in contemporary times as the culture of filial piety
