The Investiture of the Gods was an ancient Chinese novel that told the story of the power struggle between King Wu of Zhou, the son of King Wen of Zhou, and the remnants of the Shang Dynasty after the destruction of the Shang Dynasty at the end of the Zhou Dynasty. Nuwa and King Zhou were the two main characters in the novel. In the novel, Nüwa was a powerful goddess who created the world and maintained its order. But in the novel, Nüwa didn't show too much friendliness and kindness. She often used means to punish those who didn't follow her rules. As for why Nüwa was so angry, the novel did not explain in detail. However, it was conceivable that if Nüwa's world was destroyed or the rules she maintained were violated, she would be very angry and dissatisfied. As for the poem mentioned by King Zhou in the novel, its content was not completely preserved, so it was impossible to know its meaning. However, judging from the plot of the novel, this poem might be a poem written by Nüwa to express her dissatisfaction and sarcasm.
There was no poem about King Zhou blaspheming Nuwa in the Investiture of the Gods. In the novels of the Investiture of the Gods, Nüwa was not portrayed as an evil woman. Instead, she was portrayed as a goddess who saved humans, flowers, and trees. She was respected and worshipped by the vassals and people of the Zhou Dynasty. In the novel, King Zhou was also portrayed as a fatuous and tyrannical monarch who harmed the people. His actions and tyranny led to the destruction of the Zhou Dynasty and he was eventually killed by King Wu of Zhou. Therefore, the plot about King Zhou blaspheming Nuwa was not one of the main plots in the novel.
The poem mentioned by Daji in the Investiture of the Gods referred to the Book of Shang Jun, Digging the Pit in the Records of the Kingdoms of Shang and Zhou: The original text was as follows: Shang Jun's Book, Digging a Pit The ditch water flows from the east to the west fork. You dig a ditch to let the water flow westward to irrigate the fertile fields. The benefits are a hundred times greater than the people's poverty. It meant: Shang Jun's Book, Digging a Pit The ditch water flows from the east to the west fork. You dig a ditch to let the water flow westward to irrigate the fertile fields. The benefits are a hundred times greater than the people's poverty. In this story, Daji sang this song as a beautiful woman praying for rain from Shang Jun. This song described the opening of the ditch, allowing the rain to flow from the east to the west, bringing happiness to the people. It was a story full of positive energy.
At the end of the Investiture of the Gods, King Wu conquered Zhou. After Daji died, King Zhou recited a poem called Qing Ping Diao. "Qing Ping Diao·Yi Yi" is a complete poem written by Li Bai, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. The world spun around and a storm started. Dragons and snakes writhed, and the world changed color. When I look far away, my heart and courage are broken. I'll go out and exchange good wine with you to wash away my eternal sorrow. This poem depicted King Zhou's depressed mood after Daji's death, as if heaven and earth had changed color. He called his son out to exchange for good wine to relieve his eternal sorrow. He expressed his love for Daji and his dissatisfaction with her death.
In the Investiture of the Gods, King Zhou wrote a poem to Nvywa,"Goddess Nvywa, the creator of heaven, is extraordinary." The Jade Terrace and Golden Pavilion were magnificent, and the Jade Hall and Jade Pavilion hung high in the sky. The divine brush and immortal ink wrote the articles of heaven and earth with a splash of ink. She's dignified, elegant, and beautiful. She's really like a goddess." This poem expressed praise for Goddess Nüwa and described her beauty and talent. At the same time, King Zhou also hinted at his worship and reverence for Goddess Nüwa in the poem. It should be noted that this poem did not appear in the Investiture of the Gods for the first time. King Zhou had already written it before he sent it to Goddess Nvywa.
In Investiture of the Gods, King Zhou wrote a poem for Nvywa when he expressed his respect and gratitude to Nvywa. The most famous two lines are: "Nvywa created the world, and I painted rosy clouds for you." The meaning of this poem was that King Zhou believed that Nüwa was a great woman who created the world. He expressed his respect and gratitude to Nüwa and thought that he could talk to her on equal terms. This poem also became one of the classic plots in Investiture of the Gods.
In the Investiture of the Gods, Goddess Nüwa was the origin and creator of heaven and earth, as well as the guardian and judge of all things. Although she hated King Zhou's debauchery, she was not the decision-maker to kill him directly. Goddess Nüwa's hatred for King Zhou stemmed from his cruelty to humans and destruction of nature. Not only did King Zhou indulge in debauchery, but he also harmed loyal officials and destroyed divine artifacts, causing the imbalance between heaven and earth and tormenting all living things. Therefore, Goddess Nüwa felt angry and sad and decided to use her own power to punish King Zhou. However, Mother Nuwa was not a violent decision-maker. Her actions were determined by her beliefs and moral principles. Although she hated King Zhou, she also understood that violence was not the solution to the problem, but a peaceful and rational way to deal with it. Therefore, she did not kill King Zhou directly. Instead, she expressed her anger and dissatisfaction through some supernatural stories and destiny, hoping that humans could reflect on their actions and return to peace and rationality.
The Investiture of the Gods was an ancient novel that described the plot of King Zhou writing poems in the Nuwa Palace. However, there was no conclusive evidence to prove whether it was true in history. According to historical records, the Nuwa Palace was an extremely important place in ancient Chinese myths and legends. It was considered a symbol of the goddess. However, there were no clear records about whether King Zhou had been to the Nuwa Palace or whether he had written poems in the palace. Therefore, we can conclude that the plot described in the Investiture of the Gods is not a real historical event. Although ancient Chinese novels and legends often had exaggerated elements, there was no conclusive evidence in history to prove the true existence of such a plot like King Zhou entering the Nüwa Palace to write poems.
The Investiture of the Gods was an ancient novel that described the story of King Wu of the Western Zhou Dynasty conquering King Zhou. There were some differences between this novel and the historical description, the most obvious of which was the time and historical background of King Wu's conquest of Zhou. The novel portrayed the war as a just war, while history was regarded as a story of a tyrant being overthrown. In the novel, the last emperor of the Shang Dynasty, King Zhou, was depicted as the ruler of a country without any laws. He killed the people and imprisoned them to implement tyranny. King Wu of Zhou overthrew King Zhou's rule by waging war and established the Western Zhou Dynasty. Compared to the historical descriptions, the Investiture of the Gods beautified the images of King Zhou and King Wu of Zhou. The novel depicted the Shang Dynasty as a powerful empire and King Wu of Zhou as a heroic leader. These plots helped to shape the characters and plot development of the novel. The Investiture of the Gods was different from historical descriptions, but it successfully constructed an imaginative and attractive world by embellishing historical characters and plot development. Although this novel is somewhat different from historical records, it is still a very popular novel that is widely read and studied.
