"Chinese Folklore" is Mr. Yuan Ke's only book that focuses on Chinese folklore and is published for the first time. There are more than twenty chapters in the book, most of which are based on notebooks and novels written by people in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and have been greatly artistically processed. Some have even been expanded to more than 10 times in length, which not only fully conveys the ideological content of these simple and concise Wei and Jin texts, but also increases the interest of reading. Some of the folklore collected in the book praise people's wisdom and bravery in slaying monsters, some satirize powerful dignitaries, and some praise the virtues of animals... These ancient folklore, which are mixed up in the novels about gods and ghosts written by people in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, are classified and described to convey an optimistic spirit.

Mr. Yuan Ke's research on Chinese mythology has expanded a new field in academic history, and his related research results have also become a series of important works on "Chinese Mythology". This book "Selected Interpretations of Ancient Myths" collects, organizes, selects, and interprets ancient Chinese myths scattered in ancient books and documents. It also makes arguments and interpretations based on historical materials such as inscriptions and stone carvings, national myths, and folklore. It presents readers with a magnificent and magnificent picture of ancient China, and also provides the first glimpse of Mr. Wang's "generalized mythology" theoretical system.
