Features: This book employs theories and methods from linguistics, mythology, religious studies, and archetypal criticism to decode the archetype of the goddess Yao Ji from Mount Wuhan Gao Tang. It also analyzes the age-old academic debate over whether the "Ode to the Goddess" depicts a jade dream or a king's dream from perspectives such as textual criticism, etymology, and literary anthropology.
