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.
King Zhou wrote a poem in the temple of Goddess Nvywa to blaspheme Goddess Nvywa. This behavior angered Goddess Nvywa. In response to this blasphemy, Goddess Nüwa sent Daji to overthrow the Shang Dynasty. Daji used her beauty and witchcraft to confuse King Zhou, making him work for her willingly. The appearance of Daji caused turmoil and chaos within the Shang Dynasty, leading to civil strife and social unrest. Goddess Nüwa realized that this went against her original intention as the creator, so she decided to stop Daji's actions and work hard to restore order and balance. Therefore, King Zhou angered Goddess Nüwa in the Nüwa Temple, which triggered a series of events.
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.
