You've probably heard about Greek or Roman folklore, and even of Egyptian gods and goddesses, but have you heard about Chinese folklore? Let's explore this subject in quick, in this succinct book.

Chinese folklore is folklore from the geographical area now called China that has been given orally or documented. Several myths from different local and cultural customs are included in Chinese folklore. Much of folklore includes thrilling stories including impressive characters and beings, the use of magic powers, and normally occurs in a mythologically unique area or time.

Chinese folklore, like a lot of other folklores, was once thought to be, at the very least in part, a historic record. Chinese folklore, like Chinese folklore, is an important element of Chinese folk faith. Many legends about historic individuals and events have 2 customs: ones that present a more historicized or euhemerized variation and ones that present a more mythological variation.

Many myths focus on the whole universe's creation and cosmology, and also its divine beings and people. Production stories, the genesis of things, people, and civilization are all part of folklore.
