{{Further|Flood Mythology of China}}

After [[Gonggong|Gong-Gong]] was said to have damaged the world pillar holding the earth and sky apart, the sky was rent causing fires, floods (the [[Flood of Nuwa]]) and other devastating events which were only remedied when Nüwa repaired the sky with five colored stones. The figure of Nüwa, also referred to as Nü Kwa, appeared in literature no earlier than c. 350 BCE. It is sometimes believed that Nüwa molded humans from clay to populate or re-populate the world, thus creating modern humans.
