A possible historical interpretation of the myth is that Huaxu was a leader during the matriarchal society (BC) as early Chinese developed language skill while Fuxi and Nüwa were leaders in the early patriarchal society (BCE) while Chinese began the marriage rituals.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>
