"Explaining Characters" speaks: "Wa, the ancient sacred woman, is the one who transforms all things."
"Common Meanings in Customs · Volume One" speaks: Fuxi, Nüwa, Shennong are the Three Sovereigns. Sovereign means heaven, heaven does not speak, and the four seasons proceed, all living things are born. The Three Sovereigns act without effort, speak words the people don't defy, their virtue is profound and vast, resembling imperial heaven, thus called sovereigns. Sovereign means center, means light, means expansive. Embracing expansiveness and performing in the center, unfolding mysteries and spreading tenets, holding the ultimate imperial, shining light, pointing to the heavens and drawing the earth, divine transformation secretly connects, magnificent and beautiful, immeasurable.
