Features: The folk tales included in this book are categorized into five sections based on their content: Magical Fantasy, Worldly Realities, Witty Characters, Animal World, and Fox, Ghosts, and Spirits. Folk tales are literary works created by the masses from their understanding of nature and human society, using both fantasy and realistic techniques. In terms of themes, plots, structures, and language, they exhibit the distinct characteristics of oral folk literature, contrasting with the literary works of individual writers in their perspectives on life, judgments of right and wrong, understanding of nature, as well as their unique aesthetic tastes and artistic talents. At the same time, they also reflect the perseverance and intelligence of the masses in transforming nature and society, as well as their pursuit of ideals. During the editing process of the folk tales, we have made great efforts in selecting materials broadly and choosing the best among them. In terms of categorization, adjustments have also been made based on the collected works. We hope that our efforts will bring convenience to readers.
