在古老的传说中，女娲被尊为创世神，据考古发现和史前人类活动的痕迹，她的地位源于原始母系社会中的女性崇拜。她的称号繁多，包括娲皇、灵娲、帝娲、风皇等，但她最著名的形象是大地之母。在中国历史文化中，她不仅是华夏族的母亲，还被誉为生命之始，并且以其勇敢的心态保护生灵免遭自然灾害。
传说中，女娲用黄土创造了人类，并补天平息了大乱。她还制造了一些乐器，如笙簧和瑟，因此被奉为音乐之神。此外，她还建立了婚姻制度，使青年男女能够相互结合繁衍后代，因此也成为婚姻之神。
然而，由于父权制、三皇五帝观念的兴起，女娲的形象逐渐分裂成三种不同的角色：一为上古贤王和圣母祭祀者；二为伏羲之妹兼补天圣女；三为各种职业位上的完整形象。在不同的时期和地域，这些角色的重组导致了对女娲地位变化的解释，有时她位于三皇之上，有时则在其中或以下。
除了这些宗教意义上的影响外，女娲在地域文化中的地位同样重要。她与世界各民族创世神话中的描述相似，都涉及自身体器官化作万物与诸神。这一概念反映出一种普遍的人类信仰，即创世者必须使用自己的躯体作为材料来创造世界。
在民间活态神话中，female goddess of creation and life, her role in the creation of the world is often emphasized. According to one legend, she created chickens on the first day of the first month, dogs on the second day, pigs on the third day, sheep on the fourth day, oxen on the fifth day, horses on the sixth day, and humans only after that. These stories reflect an understanding of woman as a powerful creative force.
In addition to these religious and cultural influences, there are also historical records that suggest female was a real person who lived in ancient China. The name "female" is thought to refer to a tribe or region where she resided. There are also legends about her burial sites scattered throughout northern China.
Overall, while our understanding of female's role in Chinese history may be fragmented and subject to interpretation based on different perspectives and sources available at any given time it remains clear that she has had a profound impact both culturally and historically upon society for thousands years now with countless myths legends stories songs poems novels movies books etcetera being written about this incredible figure so beloved by many cultures around world especially those within Asia where tradition culture history intertwine creating rich tapestry complex narratives intertwined tales lives experiences dreams hopes fears aspirations desires everything else imaginable all wrapped up into single magnificent package known as human existence itself which includes but not limited too love joy sorrow pain happiness laughter tears smiles frowns sighs breaths exhalations inhalations life death birth growth decay renewal transformation metamorphosis evolution revolution progress change development advancement civilization humanity itself all part same grand journey called life
