Krátky popis
The essential guide to the complex, fascinating world of Chinese
myths: retelling the stories and exploring their significance in
Chinese culture. This is a concise and entertaining guide to the
complex tradition of Chinese mythology. While many around the world
are familiar with some aspects of Chinese myth - through Chinese
New Year festivities or the classic adventures of the Monkey King
in Journey to the West - few outside of China understand the
richness of Chinese mythology, influenced by Daoism, Buddhism and
Confucianism.Offering much more than any competing overview of
Chinese mythology, The Chinese Myths not only retells the ancient
stories but also considers their place within the patterns of
Chinese religions, culture and history. Tao Tao Liu introduces us
to an intriguing cast of gods, goddesses, dragons and monks,
including: the ancient hero, Yi the Archer, who shot suns out of
the sky to save humanity from a drought, Guanyin, the Goddess of
Mercy and Compassion, to whom there are temples dedicated all over
East Asia, and Madame White Snake, a water snake spirit in the
guise of a mysterious widow, her story adapted into countless films
and operas. This book is for anyone interested in China, as knowing
its myths allows readers to understand and appreciate its culture
in a new light.
