神话背景
秦汉初期,女娲补天与共工触山是两个独立的神话故事,到了东汉时期,王充在《论衡・谈天篇》利用“共工怒触不周山”为背景原因,完善情节解释了“女娲炼石补苍天”中缘何天塌地陷、发生灭世灾难的理由,至此,女娲补天与共工触山,融合成了一则救世神话。
女娲,据考古出土的文物遗址、遗迹和彩陶纹饰提供的史前人类与洪水抗争及对生殖崇拜的生活印迹信息,究其历史文化根源,在于原始母系社会女性崇拜观念的遗传。
称号亦有娲皇、灵娲、帝娲、风皇、女阴、女皇、女帝、女希氏、神女、阴皇、阴帝、帝女等,史记女娲氏,风(或为凤、女)姓,是古代传说中的大地之母 。
一说她的名字为风里希(或为凤里牺),是中国历史神话传说中对万物救助巨大的一位上古女神。相传她是华夏族的母亲,她慈祥地创造了生命,又勇敢地照顾生灵免受天灾,是被民间广泛而又长久崇拜的创世神和始母神。她神通广大化生万物,每天至少能创造出七十样东西。
女娲补天的传说The legend of the goddess patching the sky传说盘古开天辟地,女娲用黄泥造人,日月星辰各司其职,子民安居乐业,四海歌舞升平。后来共工与颛顼争帝位,不胜而头触不周之山,导致天柱折,地维绝,四极废,九州裂,天倾西北,地陷东南,洪水泛滥,大火蔓延,人民流离失所。The legend of Pangu ith the creation of the orld, Nu Wa Wong made man, the stars appear, people live and ork in peace, and all over the orld. Later, Gong Gong ith Zhuanxu greatly and head for the throne, the Buzhou mountain, resulting in Tianzhu fold, the vast, aste quadrupole, Kyushu, northest southeast tilt days, flooding, subsidence, fire spread, people bee destitute and homeless.女娲看到她的子民们陷入巨大灾难之中,十分关切,决心炼石以补苍天。于是她周游四海,遍涉群山,选择了东海之外的海上仙山―天台山。天台山是东海上五座仙山之一,五座仙山分别由神鳌用背驼着,以防沉入海底。女娲为何选择天台山呢,因为只有天台山才出产练石用的五色土,是炼补天石的绝佳之地。She sa her children into a huge disaster, very concerned, determined ligeaance to fill heaven. Then she traveled around the orld, involving over mountains, the final choice of the East China Sea mountains outside Tiantai Mountain. Tiantai Mountain is one of the five mountains on the East China Sea, the five mountains are posed of God ith AO camel back, to prevent sinking into the sea. Nua hy choose Tiantai Mountain, because only in Tiantai Mountain ith the production practice of stone usetu, is the best place to fill the refined stone.于是,女娲在天台山顶堆巨石为炉,取五色土为料,又借来太阳神火,历时九天九夜,炼就了五色巨石36501块。然后又历时九天九夜,用36500块五彩石将天补好。剩下的一块遗留在天台山中汤谷的山顶上。So, on the roof heap of boulders as Nua furnace, take soil as ra material, and borroed sun Shenhuo, hich lasted nine days and nights, refining the 36501 pieces of colored stone. Then lasted nine days and nights, ith 36500 pieces of stone ill be good days. The rest of the piece left in the mountain valley on the of the roof soup.天是补好了,可是却找不到支撑四极的柱子。要是没有柱子支撑,天就会塌下来。情急之下,女娲只好将背负天台山之神鳌的四只足砍下来支撑四极。可是天台山要是没有神鳌的负载,就会沉入海底,于是女娲将天台山移到东海之滨的琅琊,就是今天日照市涛雒镇一带。至今天台山上仍然留有女娲补天台、补天台下有被斩了足的神鳌和补天剩下的五彩石,后人称之为太阳神石。The day is mended, but I could not find the support pillars of the quadrupole. Without pillars, sky ill fall don. In desperation, four feet had to bear Nua God of Tiantai Mountain Ao cut don and support quadrupole. But if there is no God Tiantai Mountain Ao load, ill sink into the sea, then moved to Tiantai Mountain ill Nua the East China Sea coast of Langya, is today Rizhao City taoluo ton area. Today Taishan has remained under the roof, Nu Wa have been cut up the roof and foot God Ao left sky stone, later knon as the God of the sun stone.女娲补天台Nu Wa Tiantai女娲补天之后,天地定位,洪水归道,烈火熄灭,四海宁静。人们在天台山载歌载舞,欢庆补天成功,在山下建立女娲庙,世代供奉,朝拜者络绎不绝,香火不断。For example, the orld belongs to the location, flood, fire extinguishing, universal peace.
