Today, I want to share a short folktale which is from China to all of you.
According to folktale, Nuwa, the goddess of create mankind, and she is the one who repaire the wall of heaven. Numa is a goddess who has the human head, but snake body. One day, when she passed through the Huanghe River, she thought that there was something missing in this world, but she couldn't think what was missing. However, when she was thinking by lower her head, she saw her inverted reflection in the river, and then she suddenly realize what has happened. It was originally missing the "human" just like her. So, she referred her face to make a clay figure by using the Huanghe soil, then she gave some special power on it. After that, human was created!
