| book description |
This book brings together creation stories, ancestral legends, and cosmological traditions from China's fifty officially recognized ethnic groups. These diverse and powerful narratives, passed down through generations, offer insights into how communities across China have understood the origins of the world, nature, and humanity itself. From the sky-splitting labor of Pan Gu to Nuwa's restoration of the heavens, from flood myths to tales of the sun and moon, this collection captures the richness and variety of Chinese mythological imagination. Translated with care and clarity by Haotong Han, the volume preserves the distinctive voice of each tradition while making these stories accessible to today's readers. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in mythology, cultural history, and the foundations of Chinese civilization. It is an essential contribution to our understanding of the world's shared yet varied mythic heritage.
