Summary

If you're looking for a collection of Chinese myths that speaks to all ages and want to get insights into the Chinese culture without reading a college textbook, then keep reading....

Most Americans know about Greek, Roman, and Egyptian mythology. But folk stories from ancient China give different viewpoints and a deeper understanding of society's roots. 

It can be challenging for Americans to find a comprehensive collection of Chinese myths considering that there are several versions and translations available. 

How many of these Americans miss out supernatural Chinese tales that could educate and excite them without even realizing? 

Could you be one of them? 

You see, most listeners make the same mistakes - they either can't find a good collection of Chinese myths, or they only find dull textbooks. You may even fall asleep while listening to them. 

But now, you have the opportunity to go on a remarkable journey that will spark your imagination.

Introducing Chinese Mythology: A Captivating Guide to Chinese Folklore Including Fairy Tales, Myths, and Legends from Ancient China. 

This amazing collection of Chinese myths will allow you to enter the Chinese mind, so you can gather secrets and wisdom from a proud and respected country. 

In this audiobook, you will discover: 

  • A story about origin of Earth and humans
  • A captivating tale about the poor boy Ma Liang and the paintbrush
  • Stories about natural disasters
  • Li Tieguai – A Taoist myth
  • Sun Wukong – The monkey king
  • The investiture of the gods

WOW!!!

The best way to be introduced to Chinese or any mythology is to read the myths themselves. This collection of short stories is entertaining and instructive.

Great Audio!

The book plunges into several myths and legends, some of which I had not known about until obtaining this book during research. I found it to be thorough.
