They gathered at Mount Yueyashan in the ancient Shangjun region to discuss this assignment. Heavenly August Fuxi and Earthly August Shennong began to discuss the boundaries and the name of states, and left Nuiwu between the Wuding and Dali rivers to create people. She worked very hard to create men like Fuxi and Shennong, and women her own way. She created white people from white clay near the Bainichuan River (White Clay Stream), and black people from the black clay she dug from the rocks beyond Mount Shuli. People had arms, legs, noses and eyes, but they had no life and couldn't move. Then she did what the Jade Lord taught her and said, "The Jade Lord told Three August to create a world and mold people out of clay, so come to life!" ; Then the clay men jumped in and started talking and laughing.

Then the remaining half of the men started fighting for them with the other half. The women complained to the Jade Lord, who became angry and blamed everything on Nuiva. She was offended and replied that the Jade Lord himself sent two men and one woman to earth, so he himself was to blame for the inequality. There have been single men in the world ever since, but no single women. Crippled and ugly men could not find a couple and began to molest the Jade Lord asking what to do (zenme baths? ). But he didn't hear it, and he thought they were saying "bachelors" (Guanguner Han). Then he told them they would be called bachelors. The Jade Lord saw that Mount Yueyashan was full of yellow, black and white people, or even people of all colors at once, and there were countless of them. He then asked Nuiwu how many types of people she had created. She replied that they were nine, and the Jade Lord ordered them to be resettled in different countries.

She squatted down, took a handful of clay, moistened her with water, and, looking at her reflection, she made a figure with her head, body, arms and legs just like hers. She put the figure on the ground and it screamed. Nuiva was delighted and called her a "person". Then she prepared a lot of clay, kneaded it during the day, and sculpted people out of it in the evening. Years later, people spread all over the world. But all these people were the same, they were not divided into men and women, they could not start families, and they felt lonely.

Then brother and sister made many little men out of yellow clay: brother men and sister women. In the evening, the little men drank dew and came to life, paired up and began to rejoice. When the clay ran out, they went up the mountain to get the clay from there, but they were noticed by an immortal guarding the mountain and asked when they would return the stolen clay to him.
