History

Nü-wa (女媧) was the progenitor of the Nü-wa Tribe of China and one of the legendary Three Sovereigns (along with Fu Xi and Shen Nong).[1]

Millennia ago, when the destructive god of war Chiyou and his demonic army were slaughtering the confederation of Chinese tribes descended from the Three Sovereigns (known collectively as "the Huaxia"), Emperor Xuanyuan called on Nü-wa, Fu Xi, and Shen Nong to assist their descendants in defeating Chiyou. In response, Nü-wa sent them the sacred weapon known as the Bands of Nü-wa. Using the Gauntlet of Nü-wa, the Chief of the Nü-wa Tribe joined forces with the other Huaxia tribes to defeat Chiyou and bury his dismembered remains in separate tombs.[1]

In modern times, the Gauntlet of Nü-wa was inherited by her descendant, Ji Xiangyun.[2]
