Description

The warring dynasties, the mysteries of the mountains, the relentless cycle of the seasons, and the quixotic nature of the skies all contributed to the many myths of ancient China, told in the villages and spread along the trading routes from province to province. Indeed, the tales of Chinese mythology reflect the vast landscapes of China, where distant mountains, and long, winding rivers dominated the sight-lines of ancient peoples. History, religion, philosophy and mythology were intertwined in the observations of immortal tricksters and spirits who dwell in clouds dealing the magical acts of kindness and chaos. This collection, with a new introduction by Hin Ming Frankie Chik features Creation Myths, Tales of the Five Emperors, Myths of the Stars, Myths of the Waters and Myths of Fire. Hardback, Deluxe edition, foiled and embossed, with gilded edges

Author Biography:

Hin Ming Frankie Chik is Visiting Lecturer of Pre-modern Chinese Literature at the University of Pittsburgh. He studies primarily Chinese thought and history, and also works in related areas such as the religious history of China and the reception history of pre-modern Chinese literature.
