You can admire China's temples, study its dynasties, and learn the names of its emperors. But if you do not know the stories its people told for centuries, a vital part of China remains hidden from you.
These tales are where the imagination of a civilization took shape. Long before they were written in books, they carried ideas about compassion, loyalty, family, justice, greed, and destiny from one generation to the next. Every chinese legend opens a window onto the beliefs that still echo through Chinese art, festivals, literature, and daily life.

Every chinese legend opens a window onto the beliefs that still echo through Chinese art, festivals, literature, and daily life.
Within these pages, Princess Miaoshan chooses a path that will transform her into Guanyin, the embodiment of compassion. Chang'e rises toward the Moon. Four dragons challenge the Jade Emperor to save a dying people. A tiger is brought before a human court, celestial lovers are divided by the stars, and a scholar discovers that one moment of greed can summon something terrifying.
