In the orthodox Taoist mythological system, Nüwa and the Three Pure Ones were both gods with high status. Their status was equal, and Nüwa was not the uncle of the Three Pure Ones. In the system constructed by the novel," Investiture of the Gods," Patriarch Hongjun was the master of the Three Pure Ones, and his status was equal to that of Nüwa. Under this setting, Nüwa was not the martial uncle of the Three Pure Ones. However, in some modern prehistoric novels, Nüwa was set as the disciple of Patriarch Hongjun. In this case, Nüwa should be the junior of the Three Pure Ones, not the uncle of the Three Pure Ones. In conclusion, the saying that Nüwa was not the uncle of the Three Pure Ones was not true in most traditional mythological systems and some novel settings.
In the China mythological system, the relationship between Nüwa and the Three Pure Ones was rather complicated. In terms of status, Nüwa and the Three Pure Ones were equal, but Nüwa's special characteristics showed the uniqueness of her status. In the Taoist mythological system, Nüwa and the Three Pure Ones were saints of heaven and earth. Goddess Nvywa became a virtuous saint because she created people and refined stones to mend the sky, while the Three Pure Ones were the ancestors of Taoist cultivation and became saints through cultivation. In terms of merit, Nuwa's merit was rather outstanding in the Three Realms. Other than Pangu, who created the world, almost no one could compare to Nuwa's merit of creating humans. The stability of the entire three worlds depended on Nuwa's contribution. For example, the cause of the Apotheosis Calamity (King Wu conquered King Zhou) was that King Zhou "teased" Nüwa. Nüwa was furious and triggered a series of wars. Even Lao Zi of the Three Pure Ones could only follow Nüwa's decision to destroy the Shang Dynasty. Nüwa had two publicly acknowledged disciples, the Nine Heavenly Maiden and Goddess Houtu. During the battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou, Goddess Nvywa had sent the Mysterious Lady of the Nine Heavens to assist the Yellow Emperor and teach him the art of war. She was an important figure who had changed the pattern of history. Goddess Houtu was in charge of the "earth" of the human world and one of the four emperors of the Heavenly Court. Her status was second only to the Three Pure Ones and was on equal footing with the Jade Emperor. She had opened the Netherworld and allowed the dead souls of the Three Realms to be reborn. This merit made her revered and even Tathagata did not dare to offend her. In short, Nuwa and the Three Pure Ones had their own unique roles, positions, and influences in the mythological system.
In the China mythological system, there was no standard to measure the status of the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa. From the perspective of Taoist mythology system, the Three Pure Ones were the ancestors of Taoist cultivation, the supreme gods of Taoism, and the spiritual symbol of Taoism. Goddess Nvywa gained great merits from heaven and earth by creating people and refining stones to mend the sky, achieving the position of Merit Sage. She and the Three Pure Ones were both saints of heaven and earth, and their status was equal. Taoism did not belittle Goddess Nvywa. According to the relevant system of the Investiture of the Gods, Patriarch Hongjun was the master of the Three Pure Ones, and his status was above the Three Pure Ones. Goddess Nvywa and Patriarch Hongjun were both Saints who did not participate in the battle, so their status should be higher than the Three Pure Ones. However, this was only an inference from this perspective. In modern novels, the Three Pure Ones of Pangu, the Two Buddhas of the West, and Mother Earth (Goddess Nüwa) were collectively called the Six Sages of the Heavens. There was no distinction between the Sages. Only the strength of the magical equipment would affect the outcome. To sum up, different perspectives had different views on the status of the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa. It was difficult to determine who was older and who was younger.
The status of Nuwa and the Three Pure Ones could not be determined simply. In terms of merit, Nuwa had created humans and mended the heavens. This merit played a fundamental role in stabilizing the Three Realms. In this aspect, Nuwa's contribution was extremely outstanding. During the God Sealing Tribulation, King Zhou's teasing of Nüwa had angered Nüwa and triggered a series of wars. Even Laozi could only go along with Nüwa's decision to destroy the Shang Dynasty. This also reflected Nüwa's status. From the different settings of the mythological system, in the Taoist mythological system, the Three Pure Ones were the ancestors of Taoist cultivation and the spiritual symbols of Taoism. They became saints through cultivation, while Nüwa became saints because of the merits of creating people and mending the sky. The two were basically the same. However, in modern novels, Goddess Nvywa was set to be Hongjun's disciple, ranking behind the Three Pure Ones. Although she had the merit of creating people and was ranked as an Innate Saint, her strength and status were far inferior to the Three Pure Ones. Therefore, the status relationship between Nuwa and the Three Pure Ones had different conclusions in different mythological settings and interpretation.
In ancient mythology, Goddess Nvywa was the Mother God of Creation. She created humans from earth and repaired the sky with stones. The Three Pure Ones 'preaching was based on the prosperity of the human race. From this point of view, Goddess Nvywa's status should be above the Three Pure Ones. In the orthodox Taoist literature, the Three Pure Ones were the three supreme gods of Taoism, and Nüwa was the mother god of creation. The two had different divine titles, and it was difficult to directly determine who was stronger in terms of martial strength. In the novel Investiture of the Gods, Patriarch Hongjun's status and strength were much higher than the Three Pure Ones, while Hongjun and Nüwa were of the same status. However, in modern prehistoric novels, Nüwa became Hongjun's disciple, ranking behind the Three Pure Ones. However, these were all novel settings, and it could not be said that Nüwa could not defeat the Three Pure Ones in martial arts. On the whole, it was difficult to determine whether Nüwa could defeat the Three Pure Ones from the mythological system itself. There were also differences in the settings of different novels and other derivative works, so it was impossible to determine whether Nüwa could defeat the Three Pure Ones.
Nuwa's seniority was higher than the Three Pure Ones. The Three Pure Ones 'Master was Hongjun, and Nüwa and Hongjun were of the same generation. The Three Pure Ones, the top of Taoism, regarded themselves as juniors in front of Nüwa.
In the China mythological system, the status of the Three Pure Ones and Nüwa could not be simply summarized. Different mythological versions and literary works had different explanations. In the orthodox Taoist literature, the Three Pure Ones were the three supreme gods of Taoism. However, Goddess Nvywa was the Mother Goddess of Creation. She created humans from earth and mended the sky with stones. Moreover, the Three Pure Ones 'preaching was based on the prosperity of the human race. From this point of view, Goddess Nvywa's status should be higher than the Three Pure Ones. In the novel Investiture of the Gods, Patriarch Hongjun was the master of the Three Pure Ones, and his status and strength were much higher than the Three Pure Ones. Hongjun and Goddess Nvywa were of the same status, and the three religions discussed the Investiture of the Gods together according to the will of Patriarch Hongjun and Goddess Nvywa. Furthermore, in the novel, the strength of the Three Pure Ones could be divided. Sect Leader Tongtian was first, Laozi was second, and Heavenly Lord Yuanshi was third. In modern novels, Nüwa became Hongjun's disciple and was ranked behind the Three Pure Ones. Although she had the merit of creating people and was ranked as an Innate Saint, her strength and status were far inferior to the Three Pure Ones. In the Taoist mythological system, the Three Pure Ones and Goddess Nüwa were both saints of heaven and earth, and their status was equal. Goddess Nvywa gained great merit from creating humans and refining stones to mend the sky, thus she became a virtuous saint, while the Three Pure Ones were the ancestors of Taoist cultivation, and their sainthood was obtained through cultivation. Because Taoism was a culture of tolerance, it did not belittle Goddess Nüwa. From the perspective of different myths and different versions of the story, the status of the two was different due to the specific setting.
In the China mythological system, there was no standard for the status of Nuwa and the Three Pure Ones. There were different conclusions from different perspectives. In the Taoist mythological system, Nüwa and the Three Pure Sages were of equal status. Goddess Nvywa became a saint because she created people and refined stones to mend the sky. The Three Pure Ones became saints through cultivation. Moreover, the tolerance of Taoist culture did not belittle Goddess Nvywa. From the perspective of the Investiture of the Gods, Patriarch Hongjun was the master of the Three Pure Ones, and his status was higher than the Three Pure Ones. Goddess Nvywa did not directly participate in the Battle of Gods Investiture, and neither did Patriarch Hongjun. It could be inferred that the status of Goddess Nvywa and Patriarch Hongjun, who did not participate in the Battle of Gods Investiture, should be higher than the Three Pure Ones. In some modern novels, Goddess Nvywa became Hongjun's disciple and was ranked behind the Three Pure Ones. Although she had the merit of creating humans and was ranked as an Innate Saint, her strength and status were far inferior to the Three Pure Ones. From the perspective of Goddess Nvywa's creation and the Three Pure Ones 'preaching, Goddess Nvywa's creation was equivalent to the human race's "fertility" grace, while the Three Pure Ones' preaching had the virtue of enlightenment. The two were equally important and it was difficult to tell who was better. In the traditional sense, Goddess Nvywa was the Mother Goddess of Creation. She created people from earth and repaired the sky from stone. Her status was extremely high. Some even said that she was the ancestor of humans and had boundless magical power. The Three Pure Ones called themselves juniors in front of her. She was one of the Three Pure Ones and Four Protectors. Her status in the Three Realms was the highest. This meant that Goddess Nvywa's status was higher than the Three Pure Ones. The novel " Primitive Law " is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
In the Daoist system, the Three Pure Ones had a high status. The Three Pure Ones were Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, and Taiqing Daode Tianzun. They were regarded as the highest gods of Taoism and were derived from Taoism. Nuwa and Fuxi were also very important in China mythology. Nuwa was one of the gods of creation in ancient legends. She created humans and even refined stones to mend the sky. Fuxi was also an important god in ancient times. He was respected as one of the ancestors of the Chinese culture. He created the Eight Trigrams, characters, and marriage rules. However, it was more complicated to compare their status with the Three Pure Ones because they belonged to different systems. In terms of the hierarchy of the Taoist system, the Three Pure Ones were the highest gods of Taoism, and their status was at the top. However, Nüwa and Fuxi had irreplaceable pioneering positions in the myths and legends of the Chinese people and the origin of culture. This status was difficult to compare with the status of the Three Pure Ones in the Taoist system.
Different mythological systems and interpretation had different situations. According to some legends, Goddess Nvywa had great achievements in creating humans and mending the sky. She created humans by kneading earth and mending the sky by refining stones. The preaching of the Three Pure Ones was based on the prosperity of the human race. From this point of view, Goddess Nvywa's status should be higher than the Three Pure Ones, and her magical power might be higher. Furthermore, Goddess Nvywa had powerful disciples such as the Nine Heavenly Maiden and Goddess Houtu. It was even rumored that Goddess Houtu's strength far exceeded that of Buddha Rulai. This also indirectly reflected the transcendence of Goddess Nvywa's status. However, in some modern novels, Nüwa became Hongjun's disciple, ranking behind the Three Pure Ones. Although she had the merit of creating people and was ranked as a Connate Saint, her strength and status were far inferior to the Three Pure Ones. There were also many new virtual characters and plots in some novels. Under these complicated settings, it was difficult to determine the level of Nüwa and the Three Pure Ones 'magical power. At the same time, Tongtian could block four Sages with one Immortal Slaying Formation, Laozi could turn into the Three Pure Ones with one breath, and Heavenly Lord Yuanshi was in the C position in the portrait of the Three Pure Ones. All of these showed the powerful abilities of the Three Pure Ones. Therefore, it was not easy to determine who had higher magical power between Nuwa and the Three Pure Ones.
The Three Pure Ones referred to Heavenly Lord Yuanshi of the Jade Pure, Heavenly Lord Lingbao of the Supreme Pure, and Heavenly Lord Daode of the Supreme Pure. There was no Xuanqing. Heavenly Lord Yuanshi of Yuqing was one of the highest gods of Taoism, the Three Pure Ones. He was the god who created the world in Taoism. Heavenly Lord Lingbao of Shangqing was born from the essence of Heavenly Lord Yuanshi. Heavenly Lord Daode of Taiqing was Taishang Laojun.
