About This Novel

China is a country rich in folk cultural resources and heritage, and folklore is an eye-catching part of it. This part is not only closely related to civil society, daily life, and customs and habits in history, but also still exists in the present. To a certain extent, it still affects and even shapes the Chinese people's outlook on life, emotions, and aesthetics. This book selects nine folklores that have been spread for a long time in time and space. On the one hand, it carefully understands all aspects of Chinese civil society and secular life, including the ancient working people's romantic imagination of the world and the universe. On the other hand, it also understands Chinese people, Chinese history, and certain characteristics of Chinese culture from the side, including collective cultural psychology and collective memory methods.
