Nuwa, also known as the Queen of Wa, is one clan lord in ancient times, regarded as the ancestor of human beings in Chinese mythology. According to the mythology records, Nuwa has a human-like face but a snake-like body. She is the goddess of creation and can create at least seventy things every day. Her creative ambitions led her to shape humans out of clay and fight to make the earth a safe place for her children. She shows an abundant spirit of self-sacrifice and devotion. She even yelled at the god of water and the god of fire for their petty and destructive wars.

It is an excellent traditional culture of prehistoric civilization and the Chinese nation, and it is also an important research object for exploring the origin of Chinese prehistoric civilization.
