Who is more powerful, Nu Wa or the Queen Mother of the West?
In Chinese myths and legends, Nu Wa is the ancestor of human beings. Her most extraordinary deeds mainly include refining stones to make up the sky and creating human beings with mud. Nuwa and Pangu are Adam and Eve in the East. Of course, their deeds are very different, but their status is the same.
In many myths, the Queen Mother of the West is the wife of the Jade Emperor and has supreme power. Many immortals in the three realms are afraid of her.
So, as an immortal in the three realms, does Nu Wa have a lower position than the Queen Mother of the West?
In the Fengshen Romance, Nuwa is quite powerful, but there are more powerful gods above. In other myths and stories, Nuwa is also a supreme being. The Queen Mother of the West can't control Nuwa.
So, what are their positions in the Journey to the West?
When Tang Monk and his disciples were in Pingding Mountain, the Silver Horn Great King bragged to Sun Wukong, "There is an old immortal who incarnates Nu Wa refining stones to mend the sky..." This old immortal is Lord Lao Zi. Nu Wa is the embodiment of a man!
As for the Queen Mother of the West, from beginning to end, the author of The Journey to the West never said she was the wife of the Jade Emperor. Monkey King stole flat peaches. When she learned that, she ran to report to the Jade Emperor and even saluted the Jade Emperor. She has a colleague relationship with the Jade Emperor. Her husband is the East Prince.
In the Journey to the West, the Queen Mother of the West is only in charge of the flat peach garden.
But Lord Lao Zi is different. The Jade Emperor will meet him in person. It can be seen that his status is very high.
Therefore, whose rank is higher in the Journey to the West? It must be "Nu Wa". What do you think?
