Unveiling the Magic of Chinese Mythology: A Collection of 100 English Tales
Chinese mythology has captivated the imagination of people for centuries with its rich and diverse array of stories. The "China Mythology Stories 100" collection brings these tales to life in a new way, presenting them in English for readers around the world to enjoy.
From the legendary Monkey King Sun Wukong to the benevolent goddess Chang'e, who lives on the moon, this collection offers a wide range of characters that embody both good and evil. One story tells how Emperor Tang Taizong was aided by an immortal named Lu Zhishen during his conquests. Another tale revolves around Meng Po, a goddess who rules over hell's administration department and is known for her kindness towards souls.
The book also explores themes such as filial piety, loyalty, honor, and justice. For instance, one story narrates how Liu Bang overthrew Qin Shi Huangdi's oppressive rule due to his sense of justice. In another tale from ancient times, General Yue Fei fought against invaders despite facing betrayal from within his own ranks.
In addition to historical figures like Confucius and Lao Tzu who are revered as sages in Chinese culture, there are mythical creatures like dragons that symbolize power and wisdom while phoenixes represent beauty and rebirth. The dragon king often appears in stories related to water bodies or weather conditions while phoenixes are associated with royalty or nobility.
One unique aspect about Chinese mythology is its integration into daily life through festivals like Qingming Festival (Tomb Sweeping Day), where people pay respects to their ancestors; Mid-Autumn Festival celebrates Chang'e's loneliness on the moon with offerings made under full-moon nights; Dragon Boat Festival commemorates Qu Yuan's drowning death by racing boats shaped like dragons across rivers; while Lantern Festival marks Buddha's enlightenment by releasing colorful lanterns at night.
The "China Mythology Stories 100" collection not only provides an exciting journey through China’s rich cultural heritage but also serves as a window into understanding different aspects of human nature – our aspirations for immortality; our struggle between good vs evil; our love for family members beyond life itself - all woven together through captivating narratives that never fail to inspire awe in those reading them.
