In ancient times, the four pillars of optimum heaven collapsed, the land of Kyushu cracked, the sky could not cover the earth, and the earth could not bear all things.遠古時代，四根擎天大柱傾倒，九州大地裂毀，天不能覆蓋大地，大地無法承載萬物。Fires spread, floods spread, ferocious beasts eat good people, ferocious birds grab old people and children with their claws.大火蔓延不熄，洪水氾濫不止，兇猛的野獸吃掉善良的百姓，兇猛的禽鳥用爪子抓取老人和小孩。In this case, Nuwa smelted colorful stones to repair the sky, cut off the feet of the giant Ao in the sea to support the square pillars, killed the black dragon to save Jizhou, and accumulated the ashes to block the flood.在這種情況下，女媧冶煉五色石來修補蒼天，砍斷海中巨鰲的腳來做撐起四方的天柱，殺死黑龍來拯救冀州，用蘆灰堆積起來堵塞住了洪水。The sky was mended, the pillars around the sky and the earth were erected again, the floods receded, and the earth in the Central Plains restored calm.天空被修補了，天地四方的柱子重新豎立了起來，洪水退去，中原大地上恢復了平靜。The ferocious birds and animals died, and the good people survived.兇猛的鳥獸都死了，善良的百姓存活下來。秦漢初期，女媧補天與共工觸山是兩個獨立的神話故事，到了東漢時期，王充在《論衡·談天篇》利用“共工怒觸不周山”為背景原因，完善情節解釋了“女媧煉石補蒼天”中緣何天塌地陷、發生滅世災難的理由，至此，女媧補天與共工觸山，融合成了一則救世神話。女媧，據考古出土的文物遺址、遺蹟和彩陶紋飾提供的史前人類與洪水抗爭及對生殖崇拜的生活印跡資訊，究其歷史文化根源，在於原始母系社會女性崇拜觀念的遺傳。稱號亦有媧皇、靈媧、帝媧、風皇、女陰、女皇、女帝、女希氏、神女、陰皇、陰帝、帝女等，史記女媧氏，風（或為鳳、女）姓，是古代傳說中的大地之母 。一說她的名字為風裡希（或為鳳裡犧），是中國歷史神話傳說中對萬物救助巨大的一位上古女神。相傳她是華夏族的母親，她慈祥地創造了生命，又勇敢地照顧生靈免受天災，是被民間廣泛而又長久崇拜的創世神和始母神。她神通廣大化生萬物，每天至少能創造出七十樣東西。
