Goddess of mending the sky is one of the ancient myths and legends in China.
The story of the goddess mending the sky, like the story of Nu Wa's creation, is a household name in China. According to legend, in ancient times, the sky fell apart and the world fell into catastrophe. Nu Wa couldn't bear the suffering of living beings, so she refined five-color stones to make up the sky, broke the turtle's feet and supported four pillars, calmed the flood and killed all animals, except for the yin and yang, and all souls were at peace.

Nuwa era is an era when pottery was invented and widely used. The invention of pottery originated from the mud painting technology in building construction, which was first used to prevent ventilation, and later gradually found that mud painting also played an important role in fire prevention and leakage prevention.
At the same time when the gourd was widely used in Fuxi era, the ancestors applied this technology to the gourd, smearing mud on the bottom of the gourd to prevent it from being burnt by fire, thus cooking food. As a result, the mud layer was sintered into stone-hard pottery, and pottery was invented.
More distant ancestors will find that the fired pottery will not leak at all. When the roof leaks rain, the wise man thought of covering the broken part of the roof with broken pottery pieces, and was inspired by this. He fired ceramic tiles specially used to cover the roof to completely solve the problem of roof leakage, thus inventing tiles.
