The idea that Nüwa is Sun Wukong's mom seems to be a more recent one, but it's also one I've become pretty fond of. So happy mother's day, especially to those who used their own flesh to repair the sky.

#nüwa #chinese mythology #sun wukong #monkey king #the way i've seen it play out is that nüwa had to transform her body into extra stone to repair a hole in the sky #after a massive battle between other gods for control of heaven #and died in the process #and then a stone left over from that was what sun wukong eventually emerged from #and yeah the idea that nüwa died fixing damage that wasn't her fault #and then sun wukong was born long after his mother died #is uh. scream.#shark's sketches
