What is the significance of the myth of Nuwa in China's cultural tradition (what about the exam? Open the book)

The myth that Nu Wa created man reflects the living conditions of early human society. There is a matriarchal clan society in human history. The data of contemporary ethnology and folklore show that the primitive religious myth of matriarchal society has long disappeared, but its residual form is widely circulated.

. The myth that Nu Wa created man contains the shadow of matriarchal society, which is not a pure fabrication, but a reflection of the dominant position of women in matriarchal society in the early consanguinity era.

For women, men are at a disadvantage from the beginning. Men came late to realize their role in population production.

The establishment of a patriarchal society is mainly not because men finally realize their indispensable position in population production; It is because in the historical process of material production (including the production of means of subsistence and the production of production tools) replacing population production and gradually occupying a dominant position, men have special advantages over women.

In the commune life of matriarchal society in the consanguineous era, land, houses, forests, water sources and other means of subsistence and production are all publicly owned, and necessities such as food and clothes are all publicly owned and distributed. At the same time, men who went out to fight, fish and hunt, and graze took the lead in privatizing weapons such as bows and arrows, harpoons, riprap ropes, canoes, and small labor tools, and in the process of barter, they began to privately possess livestock and other means of subsistence.

In this process, women pay little attention.

The historical advantages of men in the early stage of private ownership and the natural physical advantages of men in the process of material production have made men quickly become new social protagonists.

The process of patriarchal society replacing matriarchal society in human history is the transformation from a blood society dominated by population production to a material society dominated by material production. Once this transformation is completed, the main ideology of society will no longer be a blood complex, but will become a material complex, even a money complex. Material relationship, that is, material dependence, has become the main interpersonal relationship and functional element of human social groups at this time. In this "patriarchal society in the age of material fate", even the "blood relationship" has gradually changed from a female-centered to a male-centered one.
