女娲 是中国上古神话中的创世女神。传说女娲用泥土仿照自己创造了人,创造了人类社会。又替人类建立了婚姻制度,使青年男女相互婚配,繁衍后代,因此被传为婚姻女神。是中华民族伟大的母亲,她慈祥地创造了我们,又勇敢地照顾我们免受天灾。是被民间广泛而又长久崇拜的创世神和始祖神。
It is said that there were no men when the sky and the earth were separated. It was Nv Wa who made men by moulding yellow clay. The work was so taxing that her strength was not equal to it.

Those made by moulding yellow clay were rich and noble, while those made by lifting the rope were poor and low.
