Synopsis

A hundred years ago, Chinese mythology was scattered in pieces and unsystematic. Mr. Mao Dun made a bold exploration, In the vast sea of ancient books, the entire mythology has been sorted out. The research on Chinese mythology has just taken a real step! Mao Dun never believed that Chinese mythology was isolated; He compared it with Nordic and Greek mythology, We have researched the cosmology and mythological history that truly belong to China! This "Chinese Mythology" is the crystallization of Mr. Mao Dun's research results on Chinese mythology. It provides an introductory commentary on Chinese mythology, discusses several basic issues in Chinese mythology, and puts forward his own opinions from ancient Chinese ancient mythology books. It expounds various thoughts on mythology research to a certain extent, and has certain reference value. In the book, the author explains the nature, origin and development of Chinese mythology with his own unique view of mythology, including Western mythology perspectives and a strong critical spirit. It can be regarded as a foundational work for the study of modern mythology in my country.

Reader comments

It tells about Chinese myths and legends and clarifies some of the meanings of myths to China. From the myths, we can see primitive people's thinking about heaven and earth, their beliefs, and living habits. The biggest gain after reading this book should be to distinguish the true from the false.

It's very interesting. From this book, I learned a lot about myths and the characteristics of myths. I also learned that myths and legends are not the same type, and I benefited a lot.

I think he is like an explorer, pioneering in the realm of Chinese mythology. Moreover, he also had many innovative opinions, such as his explanations of Chi You and Kua Fu, which gave me a new understanding of these mythical characters. I also want to be like him and study hard to explore more unknown areas and change my life!

The work written by Mr. Guo cannot be read in more than one spring and Autumn period. The detail of his research and the subtlety of his insights are truly astounding.
