One of the foundational deities of Chinese mythology is Doumu, who is also referred to as the mother of the Big Dipper. She is the female half of the Heavenly Energy concept and embodies both love and mercy. In some Chinese texts, she is also referred to as the goddess Xiwangmu.
There are no myths about Doumu, but she was regarded as a significant deity due to her role as a cosmic female deity. According to legend, she may have been involved in Huangdi's mother's virginal pregnancy.
Her face is characterized by love and kindness and she has sixteen arms. Two hands are usually held in front of her in prayer while the other 14 hold various religious items, such as the moon and sun, bow and arrow, and a vase. Her chariot is made up of seven stars and is often drawn by pigs.
