Before you realize it, you embark on an interesting journey of exploring the great origins of Chinese and foreign cultures. Chinese mythology still possesses its unique charm. Many mythological stories have been passed down from generation to generation in the folk, and some have become allusions and idioms, endowed with even greater vitality. As the earliest form of oral literature, Chinese mythological stories have had a significant influence on Chinese literature. For example, the two great masterpieces of pre-Qin literature, the Book of Songs and the Songs of Chu, contain many chapters influenced by mythology, with some being direct retellings of myths. At the same time, Chinese mythology directly opened the door to supernatural tales, which are the true beginning of the novel. From this perspective, the contribution of Chinese mythology is immense. The dozens of selected Chinese and foreign mythological stories in this book cover a wide range, with works that are both representative and innovative. They can allow young readers to immerse themselves in the beauty of the mythological realm while deepening their understanding of traditional culture and inspiring their hidden imagination and creativity.
