It is said that a great  disaster once took place in nature and then the heaven collapsed, the  earth was sunken, and wild beasts cruelly killed common people. Nvwa  repaired the heaven with colored rocks and killed the brutal beasts. She  also used clay to create humans and human society by simulating her own  appearance. It is also said that Nvwa invented a kind of musical  instrument called reed pipe wind instrument so that she is esteemed as a  musical goddess. Moreover, she created the marriage system to enable  humans to multiply offspring, so she is called the marriage goddess.<\/p>\n<p>There are a lot of legends on Fuxi and Nvwa, which are recorded in  many Chinese ancient books such as Book of Changes, Elegies of Chu,  Writings of Prince Huainan and Book of Mountains and Seas. These myths  have all been passed down and their impact is very wide and profound.
